Continue ReadingWith the first week of PA high school football in the books, I have taken the time to gather some of the top performers from District 1 and 12. The Philadelphia Public and Catholic leagues have been covered thus far, as have the Delaware Valley league and now, the Sub-1 league.
For the first week, I will highlight some names that stood out to me the first week of the season. A week’s worth of film isn’t enough to get you ranked on the site. No matter, these names all stood out to me in winning or losing fashion.
We want to scout talent at Prep Redzone and get as many names out there as we can. You put in work and are playing in the PPL, PCL, D-V, I-A, or Sub-1 leagues, you’ll find your name here. We will go team by team on players that caught my eye after week one. The more great outings put on film, the more reason to get you ranked!
*PSA* Try your best to get your film out there!
Upper Dublin
Colin O’Sullivan Colin O’Sullivan 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Upper Dublin | 2023 State PA | 6’0, 175 | QB | Upper Dublin | 2023
Noah Lee | WR/DB | Upper Dublin | 2022
Kyree Butler | 6’1, 295 | DT/OG | Upper Dublin | 2023
Chris Kohlbrenner | 5’10, 163 | Upper Dublin | 2024
Tom Smid | 6’0, 220 | OL, DL | Upper Dublin | 2022
Colin O’Sullivan Colin O’Sullivan 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Upper Dublin | 2023 State PA has been making his mark, I expect this of our 158th ranked junior. What I love were the strong performances put on by unranked players out of UD. The more I watch and cover, the more I will uncover talent that needs some spotlight. UD has plenty of that. Impressed with all four of the players underneath O’Sullivan.
Abington
John Dzielawa | 6’0, 180 | QB | Abington | 2022
Danny Moynihan Danny Moynihan 6'4" | 215 lbs | ATH Abington | 2022 State PA | 6’4, 215 | ATH | Abington | 2022
Jaime Rivera | 6’0, 205 | ATH | Abington | 2023
Danny Moynihan Danny Moynihan 6'4" | 215 lbs | ATH Abington | 2022 State PA landed on our 2022 watchlist this past summer and has already come through with a solid outing in week one to continue his way to a higher ranking. I enjoyed watching unranked Jaime Rivera and hope to see him continue to put in good work.
Cheltenham
Zahiem Welton | 5’9, 195 | RB/LB | Cheltenham
Jamal Banks Jamal Banks 5'9" | 180 lbs | ATH Cheltenham | 2023 PA | 5’9, 175 | RB | Cheltenham | 2023
Zaire Williams Zaire Williams 5'9" | 170 lbs | ATH Cheltenham | 2024 State PA | ATH | Cheltenham | 2024
Tough week one outing for Cheltenham, I expect Williams and Banks to turn up for CH. Zahiem Welton is a new name that I like. Eyes will be peeled for him.
Central Bucks South
Cole Maholtz | 5’9, 200 | RB/LB | CB South | 2022
Patrick Maerz | 6’2, 210 | QB | CB South | 2022
I’m unfamiliar with CB South’s roster, but after a look at Maerz and Maholtz, who secured 3 touchdowns in week one, that’ll be sure to change. Consider both of these players on my radar from here on out.
North Penn
Khalani Eaton Khalani Eaton 5'11" | 210 lbs | RB North Penn | 2022 State PA | 5’11, 210 | RB | North Penn | 2022
Levi Carroll Levi Carroll 6'4" | 180 lbs | WR North Penn | 2022 State PA | 6’4, 180 | WR | North Penn | 2022
Ryan Zeltt Ryan Zeltt 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB North Penn | 2023 State PA , | 6’4, 190 | QB | North Penn | 2023
North Penn features three ranked prospects, one of which had an absolute monster of a day. Khalani Eaton Khalani Eaton 5'11" | 210 lbs | RB North Penn | 2022 State PA , our 66th best senior and 6th ranked running back in PA, went OFF for 238 rushing yards, 4 touchdowns on 27 carries. He overshadowed what was a brilliant connection between stud wideout Levi Carroll Levi Carroll 6'4" | 180 lbs | WR North Penn | 2022 State PA and Ryan Zeltt Ryan Zeltt 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB North Penn | 2023 State PA . They each connected for two touchdowns. Huge fan of this group.
Souderton
Shaun Purvy | ATH | Souderton | 2023
An unranked Souderton junior who I heard has been playing well despite losses. He will be on my radar.
Central Bucks East
Quinn Moody | 5’10, 180 | ATH | CB East | 2022
Almost 100 yards receiving and rushing on the debut week for the senior out of CB East. Not enough attention to this kid’s performance. Add in a TD on the night that could have easily been three. Field awareness is a huge plus. Sideline catch showed off the concentration, multiple cut-back lane runs that highlight said field awareness. Great performance.
Pennridge
Adam Mossbrook | 165 | WR | Pennridge | 2022
Philyhny Picciotti Philyhny Picciotti 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Pennridge | 2023 PA | 6’3, 225 | LB/ATH | Pennridge | 2023
Game notes share that Adam Mossbrook has been productive, haven’t seen film as of yet. Philyhny Picciotti Philyhny Picciotti 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Pennridge | 2023 PA , one of the best linebacker prospects PA has to offer, has been as advertised. He’s an absolute stud run stopper and is often too much for tight ends or unathletic linemen to handle in the second level. Week 1 was a breeze for Picciotti, 10+ tackles on the night.
Bensalem
Josiah Leonard | 5’9, 170 | DB/RB | Bensalem | 2022
Nashier Carter | ATH | Bensalem | 2022
Here’s another new name I wish I had seen before updating the 2022 rankings. Huge oversight. Josiah Leonard tore through the Norristown defense for 170+ rushing yards and two touchdowns. Awesome night for him, as well as Zach Roberts and Ben Lane Ben Lane 5'10" | 155 lbs | ATH Freeport | 2023 State PA . Two defenders that I couldn’t get film on but heard they stood out. Want to see more film out of those two. Leonard on his way to being ranked. Already should be.
Quakertown
Tyler Woodman | 5’9, 170 | RB | Quakertown | 2022
Another unranked prospect who had his stamp on his first game. Here is Tyler Woodman’s stat line from week one. 16 carries, 160+ rushing yards, 286 scrimmage yards, three total touchdowns, and one interception to boot. Awesome outing. Loved the film. He showed off open-field vision in a 95-yard kickoff return to start his 2021 Fall season. Stellar first game.
Harry S. Truman
Makai Jackson Makai Jackson 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB Harry S. Truman | 2022 State PA | 6’0, 185 | WR/DB | Harry S. Truman | 2022
Proper film from a favorite prospect of mine has been hard to come by this Fall. He’s getting his as far as I can tell from what coaches are telling me. One of the best-unoffered players in PA.
Upper Moreland
Byron Hopkins | 6’0, 180 | QB | Upper Moreland | 2022
Here’s another player I will have my eye on moving forward. Quarterback Byron Hopkins, who has limited film, stands out from a build perspective. Love his size, not much film on the kid, but want to see more in what is a crucial senior year after COVID.
