Wisby has great strength and block shedding ability, and is able to penetrate inside gaps at the line of scrimmage with his great run stopper mentality. Along with inside penetration, Wisby has the ability to threaten the C gap, making him a valuable edge rusher as well. Along with his physical attributes, Scott maintains a GPA of 3.0 and a 22 ACT score. We were proud and excited to have Scott as a participant in the 2019 Louisiana Gridiron All-Star Game. Around what age did you begin playing football and what motivated you to get into the sport? I began playing around 4th grade when I was 9 or 10. At first I was a little nervous about playing football, but through conversations with my cousin and sister, I decided to try out and have been involved in the game ever since. What about football made you grow to love the sport? Really the physicality and toughness of the sport. Its a contact sport so it forces you to be aggressive, which I loved. The toughness and physicalness is even why I started boxing along with football. Are there any sports outside of football that you play? In athletic accomplishments that you would like to talk about? I’m a member of my high school’s track & field team where I shot put, and I’m also a member of the powerlifting team. For football, I was awarded District Defensive MVP my sophomore year, and also received All-Parish Defensive MVP honors. When not playing football, are there any hobbies or activities that you enjoy? I really love to play guitar. It’s a great way to relax and relieve any sort of mental stress/fatigue. I also do team roping in rodeo. Is there any player at the pro or collegiate level that you look up to the most? It has to be Aaron Donald for me. He’s probably the best in the game and seeing as though we’re similar in height it is really inspiring, especially with his level of technique and finesse. What are you most looking forward to in regard to the LGF Bowl Game? I can’t wait to play with and against new players that I’ve never met before. It’ll be a good way to form bonds and experience competition against the best players in the state. What do you believe is your biggest strength at your position? I can read the run extremely well and I believe I have great play recognition. I’m really good at gutting the offensive line as a run stopper. What would you say sets you apart from other players at your position? Really it’s my work ethic. I’ve always been an extremely diligent worker. Along with that, my ability to read the ball and overall technique is what sets me apart. What would you like to do in life after your playing career is over? I would really love to be a football coach and hopefully get a graduate assistant position in college. I just love being around the sport. I would also enjoy to have a profession as a teacher. Finally, what is something that you will never forget about the sport and what it has taught you? Its growing up with those same guys for years and the close bonds you form that really show what it’s like to be part of a team. Also, football is not an easy sport, both mentally and physically. It has definitely taught me the importance of hard work in all aspects of life.

By: dan Martin By: Josh Sibley

Mikel Auge is an exceptionally gifted athlete both on the field and in the classroom. Standing at 5’9 and weighing in at just under 200 pounds, Mikel, plays running back for the Montgomery Tigers in Montgomery, Louisiana. The multi-sport talent rushed for over 1600 yards last season on 188 carries with 18 touchdowns. Basically, scoring once every ten touches for the Tigers in 2019. Mikel also added to his production by snagging ten catches out of the backfield for 242 yards and scoring on four of those receptions. Auge tells me his work in the weight room is what helped him propel him to his 1600 yard season. The 2021 prospect currently has a 465 pound squat and 280 pound bench and is looking to improve on those numbers. When did you start playing football? Sixth grade year, I think I was 11 or 12 something like that. It was for Montgomery Middle School. What do you love about playing football? I love the competition, and my teammates; really. I love playing with a great team, when you are down, they know how to pick you up. I like that about my team, and I like that about playing with other people. So, when they are down I can pick them up. I love to see people up and enjoying what they love to do, whether that’s football or any sport. Did you play any other sports growing up? I played basketball, I started playing around the same time I started playing football at Montgomery middle school. I’m still playing it today. What type of player do you feel best describes you? I consider myself a leader on my team, because my teammates look up to me a lot. Even though I’m so young, they still look up to me. So, I try to lead them to the best of my abilities in the right ways, and the right path. What were some of your goals this season? Get bigger, stronger, and help my teammates do the same. I helped two of my teammates work out. Sometimes we had to work out after school, I would stay with them after school without my teammates. I just wanted to help build my team up. Did you meet those goals? Yes sir! We did a lot better than everybody expected this year. How did you meet those goals? I went from about 175 last season to about 195 this season, and my 40 time went from a 4.7 to a 4.5. My teammates we had a lot of freshmen step up and start, and we got bigger and stronger. My last two seasons I never broke a thousand yards, and this year I broke a thousand yards. I had 1600 yards. On the field, who are some of your biggest influences? My coaches, and my teammates. What motivates you the most? My family, my dad. He motivates me a lot, he pushes me. What would you consider a strength in your game play? I can do a lot. I can catch, I can run you over, and I can make you miss. On a scale of 1 to 10, on game day. What would be your ideal performance number? On average, I’d say about an eight. I’m not going to give myself a ten I know I’m not perfect. I can still improve my game, I can work on some things, can still get better at some stuff. At the end of this year, what would you want your coaches and teammates to say about you? That I’m a hard worker, and that I don’t give up. That I lead, and I help, and when I can that I help to the best of my abilities. If you weren’t playing football, what would be the one sport you would be playing? A lot of people think I would do track, but I love basketball. That’s my second favorite sport. I love playing shooting guard or point guard. What’s the one song you have to listen to on game day? I listen to a lot of songs on game day, but the one I like right now is, “Dreams 2 Reality” by Lil Baby.
