Top Target: Emmanuel Dunbar

Deerfield Beach (FL) boasts two blue-chip senior prospects for the 2003 season in quarterback Brent Schaeffer and defensive lineman Emmanuel Dunbar. Schaeffer is the leader of the offense while the charismatic Dunbar is the “team leader” according to Head Coach Joe Redmond.

“Emmanuel is having a great year,” said Redmond, whose team is off to a 4-1 start. “He’s grading out at a 87% rating, averaging about eight or nine tackles per game with two and a half sacks. He’s the team leader, and I’m just really proud of him.”

Dunbar’s strengths are his 6-4 1/2, 270 pound frame coupled with his exceptional speed (4.8 40) and quickness. A versatile player, he could play either tackle or end as he does in high school.

“I only play defense, but I play defensive tackle sometimes and I also move to end,” said Dunbar. “Most schools are recruiting me as a defensive lineman. Playing both positions in high school helps me, because I can take what I learn at each position and use it at the other. As a tackle, you have to play physical. As an end, you have to be smart.”
