Top Impact Player for Rich Central in 2017? Senior QB Jyran Mitchell. Mitchell is a very speedy and versatile athlete who can more than just run the football under center for the Olympians. Mitchell possesses a great arm and touch along with being a threat at all times with the run.
Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Olympians live up to the hype? With 15 starters back from last year's state playoff team look for Rich Central to be a one of the higher ranked teams in Class 5A in the preseason and regular season polls.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Rich Central Olympians?
Rich Central has been on a major upswing ever since head coach Terrell Alexander took over the Olympians program. Rich Central has room to improve most notably upfront on the offensive line, yet the overall talent level has never been better.
