LEESBURG — Lee County sophomore running back Ousmane Kromah, offensive lineman Kaden Schlegel and defensive back Kason Hooks have earned postseason recognition beyond being named as region standouts.

Kromah was named the Atlanta Touchdown Club’s Sophomore Little Peach Award winner after rushing for 1,800 yards and 24 touchdowns this season for the Trojans. The Atlanta Touchdown Club awarded Kromah the Freshman Little Peach Award last year.

Also announced Wednesday was the 2022 scoutSMART All-Academic Team which listed Lee County seniors Schlegel and Hooks for their achievements in the classroom. In September, Hooks announced his intention to enroll at the U.S. Air Force Academy and play college football there as well.
