Lathrop's Dillon Stonum (8) is one of more intriguing athletes in the Lions' freshman class - the 6'4, 180-pounder posted some of the best testing numbers (35" vertical, 4.6 40, 10'2" standing long jump) of any player in the state during the summer combine circuit leading up to his senior year; Union (Mo.) High School standout Jed Nieder (right) was a star on both sides of the ball for head coach Brent Eckley's team, scoring 19 touchdowns on 84 pass receptions, and he'll begin his Lion career in the defensive secondary.
