Inniss’ two touchdowns help power TRU Prep

- By Adam Lichtenste­in South Florida Sun Sentinel

Sophomore standout Brandon Inniss is one of the most highly touted 2023 players in the nation, and he showed why on Friday.

The four-star prospect had six catches for 159 yards and a score in TRU Prep Academy’s 47-29 victory over Hialeah Champagnat Catholic.

Inniss also had one 5-yard carry for a touchdown and completed a pass on a fake punt.

He finished the game with 202 all-purpose yards for the team, which includes many players from University School, since US declined to play sports this fall during the pandemic.
