Quarterback Malachi Betters led five Compton College football players selected to the 2024 All-SCFA American Metro League Team.

Chosen at All-Purpose, Better was the lone All-First Team selection while wide receiver Sean Thompson, offensive lineman Tiant Spears, and defensive ends Percy Jackson and Samuel Stewart were picked to Second Team.

The sophmore Betters was third in league passing with 1,385 yards and 13 touchdown throws while also fourth in the Metro in rushing on 632 yards (4.9 per rush) and three TDs.

Thompson, a second-year student-athlete, was sixth in receiving with a team-leading 40 receptions for 512 yards (12.8 per catch) and six touchdowns. The freshman Spears is a fierce blocker at 6-foot-2, 270 pounds.

Jackson was second on Compton in tackles with 43, including a team-best 4.5 sacks, five pass break-ups, two forced fumbles and a blocked kick. Stewart made 35 tackles. The two players will graduate as sophomores. 

The players were directed by Compton head coach David Banuelos.
