Kickoff for FAUs season opener at Michigan State is just a few short days away. While the anticipation is mounting, the Owls 2025 commits have begun their senior season. The future of FAU football is already off to a great start, as the members of Paradise 25 are showing of the talent well be seeing very soon in Boca Raton. Without further ado, lets dive into how members of FAUs 2025 commitment class fared in their Week 1 matchups! Damon Allen, DB West Boca We were in attendance for West Bocas regular season matchup against The Benjamin School. Damon (photo top, Christian Proscia) anchored down the right side of the field the entire game, shutting down the Bucs passing attack. Allens 5 tackle, 1 PBU, 1 Pass Deflection game helped the Bulls narrowly defeat Benjamin 14-13. Branden Hoch, WR St. Thomas Aquinas Saturday (Aug 24) afternoon, the #11 (National) ranked St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders hosted #2 Bishop Gorman (NV). While Aquinas did fall 29-21 to the Gaels, Owls commit Branden Hoch (photo below Christian Proscia) had a strong showing. During Saturdays primetime matchup, Hoch reeled in 3 grabs for 35 yards. Cameron Gooden, DL Ft. Pierce Westwood Cameron Gooden has been a force to be reckoned with on a very talented Ft. Pierce Westwood defense. The majority of Westwoods matchup with John Carroll unfortunately was postponed, however Gooden recorded 5 tackles during the shortened game. Robert Lee, LB Osceola Robert Lee had an outstanding performance last weekend, en route to Osceolas 21-7 victory over Treasure Coast. Lee was flying across the field, recording 12 total tackles and a forced fumble. Hector Chavez, LB Columbus Our linebacker room looks ELITE! During Columbus nailbiter 17-14 victory over SouthRidge, Hector anchored his defense, recording 8 total tackles, 2 TFL, and 1 QB Hurry. Tamez Young, TE Gaither Tamez was an offensive focal point during Gaithers 41-19 loss to Armwood. Young reeled in 4 receptions for 70 yards. Logan Husband, OL St. Thomas Aquinas Its time to show some love to the big guy in the trenches. Owls offensive line commit Logan Husband (photo right below, Christian Proscia) had a stellar performance against that #2 Bishop Gorman defense. Husband solidified the line, recording 2 pancakes and allowing 0 QB hurries.
