Next up we have a Roman Catholic program that may be more excited about its future than its current position in the Philadelphia Catholic League. That may also not be the case just because of how well-balanced the team is. Talent at every class.
Seniors
Kareem Lewis Kareem Lewis 6'1" | 200 lbs | DB Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA | 6’1, 200 | DB | 2022 | R/68
Mekhi Smallwood | 5’11 | DB | 2022 | R/269
Malachi Kea Malachi Kea 6'1" | 225 lbs | DL Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA | 6’1, 225 | DL | 2022 | R/323
Elijah Steward Elijah Steward 5'10" | 175 lbs | ATH Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA | 5’10, 175 | ATH | 2022 | R/423
Only one Roman Catholic senior landed on our top-100 list. Kareem Lewis Kareem Lewis 6'1" | 200 lbs | DB Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA , the chiseled safety and UConn commit will lead this team into a Fall PCL season full of championship contenders. He stacks up as one of the best defensive backs in the state. He will play alongside another stud defensive back, Mekhi Smallwood whose recruitment I expect to heat up in coming weeks. Great backpedal, archetypal limb length at corner. Other seniors to watch for, Kea and Steward, Steward being a new addition to the rankings thanks to further film study.
Juniors
Jordan Montgomery Jordan Montgomery 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Roman Catholic | 2023 State PA | 6’2, 220 | DL | 2023 | R/27
Jamir Robertson Jamir Robertson 5'10" | 180 lbs | ATH Roman Catholic | 2023 State PA | 5’10, 170 | ATH | 2023 | R/139
Mekhi Watson Mekhi Watson 6'2" | 205 lbs | TE Roman Catholic | 2023 State PA | 6’3, 205 | TE | 2023 | R/195
Brandon Mack Brandon Mack 5'10" | LB Roman Catholic | 2023 State PA | 5’10 | RB | 2023 | R/208
Can’t speak about the junior RC class without first speaking about the newly acquired Jordan Montgomery Jordan Montgomery 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Roman Catholic | 2023 State PA , formerly out of Bishop McDevitt. Top 30 player in his class, the game-wrecking defensive lineman is currently holding offers from prestigious D1 programs, Syracuse, Temple, and Maryland to name some. Each junior is a top 210 prospect, that being said, we expect all to contribute and elevate their status moving forward.
Tyseer Denmark Tyseer Denmark 5'11" | 180 lbs | WR Imhotep Charter | 2024 State PA | 5’11, 180 | ATH | 2024 | R/11

Sophomores
I am most excited to turn a lot of these sophomores, who are currently on the Watchlist, officially onto the rankings in January. I can’t wait to see who stands out from the group. I’ve heard the rave about David Macon David Macon 5'11" | 175 lbs | DB Cheltenham | 2024 State PA , who may be yet another standout defensive back in what must be a crowded DB room. Tyseer Denmark Tyseer Denmark 5'11" | 180 lbs | WR Imhotep Charter | 2024 State PA and Sameir Speights Sameir Speights 6'1" | 270 lbs | DL West Catholic | 2024 PA . Two elite sophomores that can shoot Roman Catholic’s stock through the roof if they play how we expect them to. Both players sit just outside the top-10 of their class. Both players are already the most sought-after prospects on the team. It’s time to earn their keep, we are sure they will do so and more.
