New Jersey HS Players to Watch: Big Central 1A and 1B

Prep Redzone looks at a few players that we think you should monitor in the Big Central’s 1A and 1B Divisions this upcoming season. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>1A DIVISION</strong></span> <strong>DELAWARE VALLEY</strong> <strong>Jack Bill/QB/2023</strong> Bill completed 79-of-120 passes for 1,027 yards and three touchdowns during the 2020 season. He also rushed 58 times for 516 yards and four touchdowns. His dual-threat status is stamped. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28034" first="Logan" last="Blake"]/LB/2022</strong> Blake made 43 total tackles, sacked the quarterback once, and forced one fumble last season. <strong>Matt Schneide</strong>r/OL-DL/2022 <strong>BOUND BROOK</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28054" first="Patrick" last="LePoidevin"]/6-5/200/QB/2022</strong> LePoidevin completed 71-of-115 passes for 1,405 yards, 22 touchdowns, and five interceptions last season. He also carried the football 62 times for 293 yards and eight touchdowns. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172127" first="Sharrod" last="Tedder"]/5-8/160/WR/2022</strong> Tedder caught 18 passes for 347 yards and seven touchdowns last season. His coaches made it a point to get the football in his hands by any means necessary. Tedder carried the football 45 times for 405 yards and three touchdowns too. <strong>BELVIDERE</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172125" first="Justin" last="Connors"]/6-0/185/LB/2022</strong> Connors ended up with a linebacker designation but I will acknowledge his 40 carries for 340 yards and two touchdowns from the 2020 season. He made 29 total tackles on the defensive side of the football. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172128" first="Nick" last="Mourry"]</strong>/OL-DL/2022 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172129" first="Michael" last="Prospero"]</strong>/DE/2022 <strong>VOORHEES</strong> <strong>Brody Shane</strong>r/6-3/300/OL/2022 <strong>Josh Reid/5-10/180/WR/2022</strong> Reid caught 12 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns last season. He made the most out of the targets he received in the passing game. <strong>Mike Mosier/5-8/165/LB/2022</strong> Mosier racked up 48 total tackles in eight games last season. He’s a two-sport athlete who also wrestles. <strong>Will Letters/5-10/160/QB/2022</strong> Letters made contributions to his team’s offense with his arm and legs during the 2020 season. He completed 40-of-92 passes for 880 yards for six touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He also rushed 790 times for 483 yards and three touchdowns. If he can cut down on the turnovers (seven of his interceptions came in two games), Letters’ quarterback rating will improve dramatically. <strong>SOUTH HUNTERDON</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172131" first="Bode" last="Dunn"]/6-0/200/DE/2023</strong> Dunn put in work on both sides of the football last season. He made 39 total tackles (13 solo) on defense and carried the football 42 times for 174 yards and four touchdowns. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172132" first="Nick" last="Venettone"]/6-0/160/WR/2022</strong> Venettone caught 19 passes for 376 yards and two touchdowns during the 2020 season. <strong>MANVILLE</strong> <strong>Ryan Oset</strong>/6-0/240/OL/2023 <strong>Geoffrey Mathis</strong>/5-9/240/OL/2023 <strong>Nico Ayala</strong>/5-7/225/OL/2022 <strong>Shawn Purcell/5-11/145/RB/2023</strong> Purcell contributed on both sides of the football last season. He rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns and caught eight passes for 127 yards and one touchdown in 2020. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>1B DIVISION</strong></span> <strong>New Providence</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28019" first="Anthony" last="Kaspereen"]/6-5/280/OL-DL/2022</strong> Kaspereen’s future is probably on the offensive side of the ball at tackle. However, it’s hard to ignore his 55 total tackles and two sacks during the 2020 season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="27997" first="Charlie" last="Barth"]/6-0/215/LB-RB/2022</strong> I have mentioned Barth’s name several times in the past few months. He’s a beast on both sides of the football. Barth carried the football 186 times for 1,702 yards and 25 touchdowns last year. He made 115 tackles on defense last season while putting in all of that work on offense. He’s the accurate definition of a two-way player. Barth excels on both sides of the football. <strong>BREARLY</strong> <strong>Kevin Barcelo</strong>/6-4/250/OL/2023 <strong>Quinn Lonergan</strong>/RB/2022 <strong>DAYTON</strong> <strong>Wali Nickerson</strong>/6-3/245/OL/2022 <strong>ROSELLE PARK</strong> <strong>Ted Gregoire</strong>/6-5/250/TE/250 <strong>DUNELLEN</strong> <strong>Nasir Tippett/5-8/160/S/2022</strong> Tippett  made 16 total tackles on defense and <strong>HIGHLAND PARK</strong> Faizon Morris/6-3/280/OL/2022 Phong Nguyen/5-10/S/2023
