NJ HS Football 2023 Prospect Rankings: Stock Risers

Prep Redzone looks at the high risers in the updated Class of 2023 high school football prospect rankings for the state of New Jersey. [player_tooltip player_id="146700" first="Moussa" last="Kane"] | 6-1 | 180 | Blair Academy | DB <strong>Change: No. 19 to No. 6</strong> There was not a lot to go on for Kane during the last rankings update from a film standpoint. He had to wait until the spring to play due to his season being postponed in the fall because of COVID-19. Kane was only able to play two games this past spring. Kane made the most out of his opportunities during the offseason and that’s when his recruitment picked up. During the month of June, Kane picked up offers from Purdue, Clemson, Rutgers, Penn State, and Boston College. He picked up an offer from Pittsburgh earlier this month. So, it isn’t as big of a miss as it would seem when it comes to his rise in the rankings. He was identified as one of the top prospects in New Jersey by Power 5 schools and his new rankings reflect that. [player_tooltip player_id="154114" first="Omaree" last="Walker"] | 5-10 | 170 | Don Bosco Prep | WR <strong>Change: Not ranked to No. 11</strong> Walker is a another prospect that is getting a lot of attention based on his potential. You have to think that the fact that he attends Don Bosco Prep has something to do with the early attention he’s getting. Duke and Syracuse have already offered Walker. We’ll see what he’s able to do on the football field with more playing time this season. [player_tooltip player_id="146699" first="Hasson" last="Manning"] | 6-0 | 180 | Hudson Catholic | DB <strong>Change: No. 22 to No. 18</strong> Manning played in four games last season. He has one FBS offer from Temple. [player_tooltip player_id="146682" first="Will" last="Surdez"] | 6-3 | 185 | Colts Neck | LB <strong>Change: No. 26 to No. 22</strong> Surdez had a breakout year during the 2020 season. He made 63 total tackles (8 solo) an sacked the quarterback twice in the eight games he played in last season. Surdez made 10-plus tackles in three of those games. He has the frame where he can put on some additional weight. If Surdez can duplicate or better his performance from last season, he will start to get more attention from college coaches. [player_tooltip player_id="146665" first="Zyaire" last="Goffney-Fleming"] | Haddon Heights | RB <strong>Change: No. 30 to No. 22</strong> After further review, it was hard to ignore the Goffney-Fleming’s production in the running game. He carried the football 92 times for 740 yards (8.0 npc) and 12 touchdowns in give games. He ran for 100-plus yards four times last season. Goffney-Fleming’s best game came against Sterling where he ran 22 times for 280 yards and four touchdowns in a 47-27 win. [player_tooltip player_id="187876" first="Zion" last="Fowler"] | 6-1 | 185 | St. Peter’s Prep | WR <strong>Change: Not ranked to No. 17</strong> Fowler is being recruited as an athlete but we’ll put him at wide receiver for now. He has an FBS offer from Pittsburgh. &nbsp;
