Eleven to watch in 2011: Mike Felton
In our continued attempts to stave off the summer lull -- and to keep this blog something resembling fresh -- we bring you a new series: The 11 YAIAA football players you need to watch in 2011. Each day for the next week and a half, we'll feature another of the league's most promising talents. Let's get started... Mike Felton, RB/WR/DB, South Western For right now, he's the YAIAA's only Division I recruit. And with good reason. Felton packs as much speed and big-play ability as any player in the league. The Temple commit thrived in a do-it-all role for the Mustangs offense last season: he ranked second on the team in rushing yards, first in passing yards, first in touchdowns and averaged 8.1 yards per touch along the way. He's also a dynamo at safety and a punter and a returner and ... well, you get the idea. Felton will draw the focus of every defense he lines up against this season. He has the ability to make South Western a dangerous team. 2010 statsOffense 112 caries, 722 yards, 6.45 avg., 10 TDs 23 receptions, 378 yards, 16.44 avg., 4 TDs Defense 74 tackles, 9 tipped passes, 1 INT
