2024 Rankings Update: Stock Risers, DL, Whittington, Campbell

Ranking updates are in! See who rose across all classes in our Stock-Risers series! Previous ranks along with current ranks can be seen.   [player_tooltip player_id="119073" first="Jahsear" last="Whittington"] | 6’2, 265 | Imhotep Charter <ul> <li>Previous Rank: 13</li> <li>Current Rank: 5</li> </ul> 13 games, 5 sacks, 60+ tackles. If you recruit in PA you should already know this young man’s name. I thought of Whittington as a top 10 player before the season kicked off. His play backed that notion and some, sky-rocketing into the top five of our 2024 rankings. Can line up on either gap of the guard. Relentless motor this early on is a huge plus. Isn’t just a gap-eater inside against the run, the kid has some pass-rush ability and is often too athletic for interior lineman to handle. As promising a prospect you can find. [player_tooltip player_id="255734" first="Connor" last="Young"] | 6’3, 230 | Mt. Lebanon <ul> <li>Previous Rank: Unranked</li> <li>Current Rank: 30</li> </ul> Mauler whose main trait is power. There’s potential elite power in his lower body, upper body, limbs, you name it. He’s going to want to overpower you. You’re going to need to match his size and strength to win the matchup and 6’3, 230-pound mammoths don’t grow on trees. Thing is, this kid can play on both sides of the ball. I prefer him on defense so he can be thinking less and playing a more violent and free style of football. He can 100% be a college-level RT down the road, but I want to see this kid go nuts on defense, causing havoc in offenses backfields. [player_tooltip player_id="255739" first="Kieran" last="Campbell"] | 6’3, 225 | LaSalle Prep College <ul> <li>Previous Rank: Unranked</li> <li>Current Rank: 46</li> </ul> Might be the best athlete on this list. Considering how well LaSalle CP develops their defensive linemen, I can see a future where [player_tooltip player_id="255739" first="Kieran" last="Campbell"] will be a perennial name atop sack leaderboards in the Philadelphia Catholic League. His build is intriguing, as he can either beef up to make sure he’s never over-powered in the trenches, or slim down just a tad, tone up and build a speed/pass-rush repertoire. Doesn’t matter, one thing is for certain, we’ll be speaking highly of Campbell for years to come. [player_tooltip player_id="255050" first="Kaeden" last="Singleton"]| 6’1, 205 | Canon-McMillan <ul> <li>Previous Rank: Unranked</li> <li>Current Rank: 47</li> </ul> I’ll be real, I hadn’t heard of Singleton up until just before these rankings were released. I saw the numbers, 7 sacks for a sophomore. I saw the build, which should be updated to 6’2, 205. I saw the tape and it doesn’t lie. There are many newcomers in this list but names like Campbell and Young were waiting in line. This kid jumped it. What’s scary about this prospect is how much room for improvement there is. His get-off is great, wait until it’s polished. His hand placement is great, wait until it’s polished. I see Singleton staying a top-50 player when we add 150+ names next year. Sky is the limit. https://twitter.com/KaedenSingleton/status/1470811036915806213?s=20 [player_tooltip player_id="255058" first="Jaceb" last="Dickerson"] | 6’2, 225 | Gettysburg Area <ul> <li>Previous Rank: Unranked</li> <li>Current Rank: 80</li> </ul> Another unranked player who jumped into the top-100. Believe it or not, I think Dickerson may still be underrated. Fits the same mold as many of the names above him. Young talent with a versatile build that allows him to grow into a potential edge-rusher or run-stopper. Dickerson is in the group of prospects I can’t wait to see develop, mainly because of the various positions I can see him contributing. He’s going to be testing at our showcase at the end of the month, can’t wait to see him live. [player_tooltip player_id="164529" first="Carter" last="Lance"] | 6’2, 275 | Penn Hills <ul> <li>Previous Rank: Unranked</li> <li>Current Rank: 106</li> </ul> The biggest player on this list. Just missed cracking the top-100 but is more than capable of climbing the ranks. Incredibly tough to steer when providing offensive guard reps. Strong enough to eat up double teams when at defensive tackle. Loves to be active with his hands and explode with his legs. The quick upper body, hand movement may throw off opposing linemen. Lance had just as productive a sophomore year as any prospect listed above. His name is cemented when talking about young, talented DT’s in PA. [player_tooltip player_id="256010" first="Camden" last="Cooley"] | 6’0, 260 | East Allegheny <ul> <li>Previous Rank: Unranked</li> <li>Current Rank: 147</li> </ul> Cooley is a kid whose skillset translates to the offensive line. Hell of a sophomore tape that displays everything he has to offer. Can get a great feel for his game, seeing his ability to line up in either A gap as well as head-up over the center. He's a space-eater who's got a good motor attached to him. Many TFL's on the tape. Even if he isn't penetrating, he's got the size and strength to absorb a block and hold his gap. [player_tooltip player_id="164602" first="Colin" last="Riley"] | 5’11, 230 | WC Rustin <ul> <li>Previous Rank: WL</li> <li>Current Rank: 165</li> </ul> Riley may not boast the stature that some do on this list, doesn't matter, his film is impressive enough. So good at the point of attack. He looks to finish runs with authority and does so when he gets his hands on the ball carrier. The total tape is limited but each rep shows promise. A frequent camper that wants to work to be the best he can from what I see. His hard work alone makes him deserving of the spot. Coaches love players like this. Excited to see what his frame develops into, as well as how far he can develop his lower-body strength and feet. https://twitter.com/colin_riley323/status/1465124906874638343?s=20
