Several Hewitt-Trussville High School football players were recognized for the strong 2025 seasons they put together.

On the Alabama Sports Writers Association all-state team, wide receiver Dylan Cope and linebacker Parker Floyd were among the players to be named first team in Class 7A. Floyd finished the year with 103 tackles and 11 for loss. Cope posted 905 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.

Linebacker Woogie Crawford and defensive back Will Phillips were named to the second team. Crawford had a big season, with 100 tackles and 20 for loss, adding eight sacks. Phillips does it all for the Huskies and posted 75 tackles on the year.

A few Huskies played in some postseason all-star games, as well. In the AHSAA North-South All-Star Football Game, Crawford intercepted a pass and had seven tackles while Floyd also played on the North team. Cope and running back Deuce Alston represented the Huskies in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic.
