News broke about the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s decision to close <strong>Bishop McDevitt (Wyncote)</strong>, seemingly without warning, at the end of last year. We won’t get into the said decision and how it may have wrongly affected many students and student-athletes opportunities moving forward. In this piece, we will discuss where multiple former Bishop McDevitt ranked and unranked prospects will now be transferring too. This is strictly an on-the-field look at new additions made by Archbishop Wood in Warminster, Pennsylvania. Archbishop Wood went 3-4 last fall, 3-3 in conference, and have no significantly bolstered their rosters to become serious contenders with the likes of La Salle College, Bonner & Prendie, and even St. Joe’s Prep. Below is a list of new additions to Archbishop Wood. New Additions - Transfers [player_tooltip player_id="95283" first="Johnny" last="Pergine"] - 5’11", 220lbs, LB/SS, C/O 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="27734" first="Semaj" last="Bridgeman"] - 6’2", 220lbs, OLB/DE, C/O 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="27741" first="James" last="Bermudez"] - 5’10, 190lbs, RB, C/O 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="27570" first="Emmanuel" last="Sia"] - 5’9", 165lbs, WR/CB, C/O 2022 Jamir Robertson - 5’10", 165lbs, WR/FS, C/O 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="92781" first="Akire" last="Lilley"] - 5’9", 170lbs, SS/RB, C/O 2022 Eric Gardner Jr - 6’0", 220lbs, OG/DE, C/O 2023 C.J.
