Moussa Kane Moussa Kane 6'1" | 170 lbs | DB Blair Academy | 2023 State NJ | 6-1 | 180 | Blair Academy | DB
Change: No. 19 to No. 6
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.

Walker is a another prospect that is getting a lot of attention based on his potential.

We’ll see what he’s able to do on the football field with more playing time this season.

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.
