Kenyan Drake, Hillgrove
● Position: RB
● Height, weight: 6-1, 195
● Class: Senior
● College choices: Committed to Alabama
● 2010 season wrapup: Rushed for more than 1,000 yards — including 170 in an upset of defending Class AAAAA champion Camden County in the playoffs – and caught 35 passes for a 10-3 team. He was second-team all-state.
● School’s first Super 11 since: Drake is the first.
● What’s interesting: Drake, whose February commitment was the first among Super 11 players, gave up baseball as a junior to run track. He would have regretted the decision — Hillgrove made the baseball state finals — except that Drake surprised himself by becoming the 100-meters champion of Cobb County and Region 4-AAAAA.
