Dermott
Coach: Michael Wolfe
Dermott’s 2026 outlook up front is defined by the sheer size and power of linemen Robert Staggers and Terry Smith. Coach Michael Wolfe describes Staggers as “a man child,” noting that he stands 6-8 and weighs 350 pounds. Wolfe calls him a giant with quick feet, giving Dermott a rare physical presence along the line of scrimmage. That combination of mass and mobility makes Staggers a key piece in how Dermott plans to control the trenches.
Smith is nominated as “the best center in 8-man football,” bringing length and strength at 6-2 and 275 pounds. Wolfe emphasizes Smith’s quick hands and strong blocking, which help stabilize the middle of the offensive front. With Smith handling snaps and interior assignments and Staggers anchoring the line with his size, Dermott expects its line play to be a major strength. Both players give the program toughness and an identity built around winning battles up front.
