Player of the Week: Annapolis’ Tyler Womack

POTW: Annapolis' Tyler Womack

There were a few moments when it wasn鈥檛 clear whether Annapolis High School’s running back Tyler Womack would regain the form that seemed to have him on the path to success on the football field.

As a freshman, Womack had torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during an early-season junior varsity game. He worked hard to recover and returned to the team the following year for limited action.

鈥淗e was cleared, but he didn鈥檛 have a lot of confidence because of the injury,鈥 Annapolis Coach DeWayne Hunt said. 鈥淟ike with a lot of leg injuries, he was not sure if he could cut as fast or if he could run as fast as he once could.鈥

While there may have been some self doubt, Womack was determined. He worked even harder throughout the offseason, getting stronger and faster. The results showed on the field in 2023, as Womack led Maryland in rushing yardage most of the season, stacking up one strong performance after another.

Now a senior, Womack has picked up right where last season ended. He has posted three consecutive 100-yard games, capped by this past Friday, when he rushed 28 times for 315 yards and two touchdowns, returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown and scored three two-point conversions as the Panthers beat Severna Park, 49-33.

For his efforts, Womack was named the Military Bowl DC Touchdown Club High School Football Player of the Week.

鈥淭yler has great vision and he understands where he wants to go,鈥 Hunt said. 鈥淗e has prepared his body really well too 鈥 to be a really good running back not just in high school, but I think he will be a good running back at the next level too.鈥

Womack, who holds a handful of scholarship offers, has rushed for 688 yards and scored 11 touchdowns in the season鈥檚 first three games. Opponents know Womack is getting the ball, but he鈥檚 still piling up the yardage and getting to the end zone.

鈥淎bsolutely they know, they鈥檙e stacking the box,鈥 Hunt said, noting that Womack rushed for 345 yards last year against Severna Park. 鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of credit to the offensive line as well. The line has grown with him, those guys have been playing together for a while now and grinding. And Tyler is a special talent.鈥
