No. 11 Omaree Walker Omaree Walker 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH St. Thomas More | 2024 State NewE | 5-10 | 170 | Don Bosco Prep | WR
Walker will be a player to watch for Don Bosco Prep this upcoming season. Duke and Syracuse both offered him during the month of Jun.
No. 32 Michael Poinsett Michael Poinsett 5'9" | 180 lbs | LB Bordentown | 2023 NJ | 5-8 | 180 | Bordentown | LB
Poinsett plays bigger than his size at the linebacker position. He racked up 63 total tackles (18 solo) and recovered two fumbles as a sophomore.
No. 33 Alexander Uryniak Alexander Uryniak 5'8" | 190 lbs | LB North Hunterdon | 2023 NJ | 5-7 | 195 | North Hunterdon | LB
Uryniak is undersized for the linebacker position but produced in a big way. He made 76 total tackles (51 solo) and sacked the quarterback twice during the 2020 season. He saw a few carries here and there too, rushing 47 times for 242 yards and five touchdowns.
No. 34 Josh Peluse Josh Peluse 5'11" | 205 lbs | LB Shawnee | 2023 NJ | 5-10 | 194 | Shawnee | LB
Peluse made 72 total tackles (14 solo) last season.
No. 35 Julian Jones Julian Jones 5'11" | 180 lbs | RB Monmouth | 2023 State NJ | 5-10 | 175 | Monmouth | LB
Jones made 33 total tackles and sacked the quarterback two times in the three games he played in last season. That’s good production in a limited amount of games.
No. 36 Nic Lembo Nic Lembo 5'10" | 225 lbs | LB Montclair Academy | 2023 NJ | 5-10 | 200 | Montclair Kimberley Academy | LB
Lembo had an impressive season on both sides of the ball. He made 62 total tackles (30 solo) in seven games last season on defense. Lembo, who also plays running back, rushed 97 times for 463 yards and four touchdowns too. He’s one of the best two-way players in his class.
No. 37 Brandon Boria Brandon Boria 5'8" | 190 lbs | RB Cherokee | 2023 State NJ | 5-8 | 180 | Cherokee | RB
Boria had an impressive sophomore year during the 2020 season. He carried the football 102 times for 888 yards and 11 touchdowns in six games last season.
No. 40 Jack Bill Jack Bill QB Delaware Valley | 2023 State NJ | Delaware Valley | QB
Bill had one of the most impressive seasons last season and is a candidate to rise in these rankings. He completed 79-of-120 passes for 1,027 yards, 12 touchdowns, and three interceptions. Bill also showed his running skills as he carried the football 58 times for 516 yards and four touchdowns.
No. 41 Jayden Young Jayden Young 6'3" | 170 lbs | QB St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State NJ | 6-3 | 165 | St. Thomas Aquinas | QB
Young is another quarterback that will see his stock rise if he’s able to duplicate or exceed what he did during his sophomore year season. He completed 90-of-180 passes for 1,487 yards, 16 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in seven games.
No. 42 Mathew Yascko Mathew Yascko 5'10" | 180 lbs | QB Edison | 2023 State NJ | 5-10 | Edison | QB
During the 2020 season, Yascko completed 88-out-of-155 passes for 1,129 yards and three interceptions. On the ground, Yasco rushed 41 times for 205 yards and one touchdown. I love the way he quickly throws darts across the middle of the field. He isn’t afraid to put the football in the air and give his receivers a chance to make plays.
No. 43 Caidan Holmes Caidan Holmes 5'11" | 160 lbs | DB Sayreville | 2023 NJ | 5-11 | 160 | Sayreville | DB
