Tadarius Wright – University of West Alabama
Jaylin Harris (7) celebrates his interception with Tadarius Wright (4) during the Washington vs Escambia football game at Escambia High School in Pensacola on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023.
A first team all-area defense at defensive back, Wright was named the Escambia’s most valuable player at the team’s end-of-year awards banquet.
Wright had 85 tackles (59 solo, 26 assisted) with an interception, seven broken up passes and a fumble recovery for a touchdown during his senior season.
Wright signed with the University of West Alabama, a Division II program that competes in the Gulf South Conference. So it’s likely the Panhandle could see Wright again in the near future, as UWA competes in the same conference as the University of West Florida.
Trevion Killette – Northwest Community College
Travion Killette (0) returns a kickoff for a touchdown and a 18-13 Gators lead during the West Florida vs Escambia football game at Escambia High School in Pensacola on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023.
Another all-area defensive back from Escambia, Killette is taking his talents to Northwest Community College in Senatobia, Mississippi.
NWCC is a four-time national champion, most recently winning in 2020.
During his senior season, Killette recorded 25 total tackles (23 solo, 2 assisted). He also had an interception, two caused fumbles and seven passes defended.
