2020 Group 1 Offensive First-Team Selections

When looking at the best of the best in New Jersey, we will begin with the First-Team offensive selections from Group 1. <strong>QB: Dario Bryant, Cedar Grove</strong> Bryant lit it up from the season-opener when he hung 170 yards and two scores on Hoboken. The senior led Cedar Grove to seven wins with 1,850 yards and 25 touchdowns through the air. <strong>RB: Bhayshul Tuten, Paulsboro | Hunter Van Zant, Boonton</strong> Van Zant was one of the top rushers in the state this season. He rushed for at least 200 yards in four games this season, including an explosive 364-yard performance against Parsippany. Van Zant rushed for four touchdowns in four different games finishing with 21 scores. Tuten was not too far behind, finishing with six games over 100 yards and two over 200. He rushed for 1,229 yards and 19 touchdowns during his final season. <strong>WR: [player_tooltip player_id="27947" first="Mikai" last="Brown-Jones"], Asbury Park | Anthony Bilotta, Cedar Grove</strong> Jones put his name on the map when he totaled eight catches for 243 yards and three touchdowns against Roselle Park, leading the offense to 58 points. Bilotta was one of the top receivers in the state. He was Bryant’s biggest target at Cedar Grove. Bilotta was near the top of the state with 55 catches for 853 yards and 12 touchdowns. <strong>OL: [player_tooltip player_id="28019" first="Anthony" last="Kaspereen"], New Providence | Kevin Hunt, Park Ridge | Tino Savaiinaea, Paulsboro | [player_tooltip player_id="27921" first="Chris" last="Gerrity"], Woodstown | Jeff Yanes, Boonton</strong> The offensive line often gets overlooked at the high school level. This should not be happening in Group 1 ball with names like this. Kaspereen has another year to prove himself in hopes of becoming one of the top prospects in the league. Both Hunt and Savaiinaea were able to assert their dominance this season using their strength at the line. Gerrity and Yanes showed great technique at the line which opened holes for their runners. <strong>UTIL: Joe Crifasi, Becton | Frankie Savino, Emerson Boro | [player_tooltip player_id="27913" first="Donovan" last="Wadley"], Weequahic</strong> Crifasi was a dual-threat dynamo for Becton. He controlled the offense with 837 yards and nine touchdowns through the air. He added 376 yards and eight scores on the ground. The ability to take care of the ball led Crifasi and other names like Savino. The Emerson Boro quarterback turned it over just twice while totaling 20 touchdowns. Wadley was named First-Team because of his ability in the backfield. <strong>K: Sean Tucker, Boonton</strong> When a team scores a lot, the kicker will have many chances. Tucker was able to take advantage of his chances. He converted 32-22 PAT’s while going 2-2 on field goals.
