Dominique Terrell was a big reason why Osbourn Park (Manassas, VA) tallied 10 wins last season. This offseason, the big-time rising senior prospect has been working hard and coming into his own as a leader, looking to guide the Yellow Jackets to more success in 2010.

“He is very competitive,” Osbourn Park head coach Brian Beaty said of Terrell. “We all know he can play, but since we lost some guys he really needed to pick up his leadership. He has done that. He hasn’t missed one workout this offseason. He is leading by example. His relationship with his teammates is closer than it has ever been. He has really grown since the time I first met him.”

The 5-11, 175-pound Terrell totaled 1,317 yards rushing and 827 yards passing as Osbourn Park’s starting quarterback in 2009. Coach Beaty is high on Terrell’s offensive abilities, but don’t overlook the talented prospect’s defensive talents as well.

“He plays free safety for us. We play him when we need him, but we had a pretty good free safety last season in Travis Marion, so we didn’t need to play him much,” Beaty said. “When he plays, Nique is one of the better free safeties in the state. I just don’t want to leave him on the field the whole time. He is a good free safety as far as breaking on the ball and running the alley. He’s good.”
