Brian Poole could be anywhere, but at Florida he will be in the secondary

Brian Poole is like a good mystery novel. The Southeast High standout can pop up anywhere, anytime, anyplace on the football.

But the one thing we know about Poole is that he will excel where-ever he plays. The defensive back, who has verbally committed to Florida, played quarterback two weeks for the first time since his little league days and was impressive against nationally touted Manatee.

Tonight against Sarasota Riverview, Poole will start at cornerback, but is expected to be used at quarterback, receiver and running back. He will also be a return man on some punts and kickoffs.

Southeast head coach Paul Maechtle who has had some great versatile players during his 30 plus years at the school, including Peter Warrick, says Poole is up there with the best.

Cast your vote for Manatee County's Greatest High School Football Player

You’ve seen it, you’ve studied and had time to digest it.

Who is the greatest high school football in Manatee County history? The belief here is that it’s Peter Warrick.

He won two state championships at Southeast and made the most difficult transition his senior year when he switched from receiver to quarterback.

In his final two years at Southeast he never lost a game that he played in sitting out the Seminoles lone defeat with an injury.

But you might disagree and there are plenty of worthy candidates to wear the crown as Manatee County’s greatest gridiron hero.

Here is a chance to cast your vote on who is Manatee County’s greatest high school football player. Cast your vote on the poll.
