This 2021 preseason 3<sup>rd</sup> Team All-State list has a combination of the 2022, 2023, and 2024 classes. It is based on factors such as last season’s film, stats, college interests, and the ability to move up to 2<sup>nd</sup> team post-season.
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Quarterbacks:</strong></p>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87822" first="Collin" last="Quintano"]</strong> <em>(Notre Dame Green Pond; Senior)</em> In The last 2 seasons Quintanto has been very productive. He’s thrown for 2,753 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. He’s also completed 61% of his passes with a minimum of 300 pass attempts. Quintanto did commit to playing baseball at Villanova.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="64000" first="Brad" last="Birch"]</strong> <em>(Gateway; Sophomore)</em> Birch had an unbelievable freshman season with a QB rating of 118.2. He’s shown to prove himself at a camp that he can be the best QB out of Western Pa regardless of class. High expectations this season, especially now that he’s up against better competition.
<em> </em>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Running Backs:</strong></p>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="66052" first="Eryck" last="Moore"] </strong><em>(Plum; Junior)</em> Moore is the best RB out of Western Pa. He’s got the size, speed, and physicality as a number 1 back. I see Moore as a Group of 5 with potential of Power 5 back.
<strong> </strong>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="27651" first="Gavin" last="Garcia"]</strong> <em>(Southern Columbia; Senior) </em>Garcia proved to be an FBS back last season, despite his size. He had 113 carries rushing for almost 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. He narrowed his top schools down to Kent State, Harvard, and Princeton.
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Wide Receivers: </strong></p>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="64565" first="Quinton" last="Martin"]</strong> <em>(Belle Vernon; Sophomore) </em>Martin had a standout season as a freshman. He played all over the field. I expect him to continue to make a lot of big plays at WR.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="164149" first="Peter" last="Gonzalez"]</strong> <em>(Pittsburgh C.C.; Sophomore) </em>Despite not having freshman film, seeing Gonzalez multiple times at camps, this kid is a stud. He recently transferred to Pittsburgh Central Catholic from Mars. I fully expect him to have a big season.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87844" first="Kenny" last="Johnson"]</strong> <em>(York Suburban; Junior) </em>Johnson is our number 1 receiver in the 2023 class. He had 31 receptions for 640 yards and 9 touchdowns. Johnson is a really good route runner and that’s how he creates separation.
<strong> </strong>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="141010" first="Tyseer" last="Denmark"]</strong> <em>(Roman Catholic; Sophomore) </em>Demark racked up a ton of offers this offseason. Demark should be a fun guy to watch this season as he continues to develop.
<strong> </strong>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Tight Ends:</strong></p>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="92733" first="Thomas" last="Chernasky"]</strong> <em>(Western Wayne; Senior) </em>Chernasky plays the true tight end position. He is more of a blocker but can be a threat in the receiving game. Chernasky recently committed to Delaware.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="95799" first="Aiden" last="Mack"]</strong> <em>(Wyomissing Area; Senior) </em>Mack committed to Richmond. He is more of a receiving threat but is physical in the blocking game.
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Offensive Line:</strong></p>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="97972" first="Peter" last="Jones"]</strong> <em>(Malvern Prep; Sophomore) </em>Jones has received a few P5 offers this offseason. As of now we do believe that Jones is the number 1 offensive lineman in the 2024 class. Really interested to see how he improved this season.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="103987" first="Cooper" last="Young"] </strong><em>(Downingtown West; Junior) </em>Young is a physical kid who is a finisher. Young received a couple P5 offers this offseason but should continue to add more this season.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="146546" first="Julian" last="Cervantes"]</strong> <em>(St. Joe’s Prep; Junior) </em>Though Cervantes is undersized, he shows good techniques and is physical. Hopefully, he does grow because he has potential of being a Power 5 player.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="27569" first="Emir" last="Stinette"]</strong> <em>(Imhotep Charter; Senior) </em>Stinnestte is a big kid, listed at 6’5 330. He moves well for his size. Has a strong first punch and is physical. He had a few P5 offers early to mid-2020. Not sure what is recruiting is like now.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="27581" first="Brandon" last="Lawhorn Moore"]</strong> <em>(Kiski Area; Senior; OG) </em>Moore is a big physical kid who drives feet on contact. I believe he is a RT but in the scenario, I have him at guard.
