Pennsylvania 2024 Prospect Rankings: ATH Breakdown

This is prime time to dive back into the recent rankings update and break down each position group to see what prospects made the cut and where. Included are prospects from every corner of Pennsylvania, representing each district, collectively creating the most comprehensive state ranking you can find. ATH Breakdown Top 100 [player_tooltip player_id="141010" first="Tyseer" last="Denmark"] | 5’11, 180 | Roman Catholic Very very close to leaping from his debut 11th spot all the way to 1. Despite being edged out, [player_tooltip player_id="141010" first="Tyseer" last="Denmark"] is every bit in the conversation for the best overall player in the entire state, let alone his class. We deemed him the number one "ATH", meaning when it comes to versatility there is no better prospect in the 2024 class. There isn’t much Denmark can’t get done on the field. Elite field vision allows for elite kick/punt return ability. He can man up against an opposing team’s best weapon and lock up. We all know how special he is with the ball in his hands, he’s a walking touchdown that can take slants. screens and deep balls to the house. I had the pleasure of watching Denmark and Agard go at it live last Fall. I see 5-star potential in his game. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-175530" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/07/TYSEER-DENMARK-crop-842x553-1627245873-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> [player_tooltip player_id="64565" first="Quinton" last="Martin Jr"] | 6’3, 180 | Belle Vernon Cannot exaggerate this. Quinton Martin, if designated as a true RB, could be the best RB in the class. If designated as a CB, he could be the best in the class. The same goes for the Safety, WR, OLB positions. I’m sure you get my point here. Deciding between Martin and Denmark is really splitting hairs. One upper hand that Martin may have is his production at his 6’3 stature. 6’3 should not be able to run like this in the open field. This kid can single-handedly win you football games, either returning kicks or breaking lose for 70+ yard runs. When watching Quinton Martin at BVA, expect the unexpected because this kid can do anything on the field. Every P5 needs to offer who haven’t yet. [player_tooltip player_id="141987" first="Sahfi" last="Reed"] | 6’2, 180 | Martin Luther King Real athleticism, speed you can’t fake. [player_tooltip player_id="141987" first="Sahfi" last="Reed"] lands in the top 30 of our rankings which is a bit further off than Martin and Denmark’s placement. Nonetheless, the young man out of MLK is our third-ranked ATH in the class of 2024. Love what I’ve seen Reed to one the track recently. Top 10 200m finish proves his speed is for real. Even more impressive is the stride at 6’2. You can find Reed in-line blocking and running seam routes from his TE spot. He’s got WR potential, seeing that he’s capable of running routes outside the numbers. Where he also makes his presence felt is at OLB/SCB. Instinctual on Defense, reads passing lanes well. Can diagnose run/pass quickly. Awareness is through the roof. He’s a young player you can put responsibilities on. https://twitter.com/ReedSahfi/status/1497737101877649409?s=20&t=HLNuBuE5QKY3KgOR77JbEA   Top 200 [player_tooltip player_id="142783" first="Zaire" last="Williams"] | 5’8, 170 | Cheltenham Electrifying player. Cheltenham’s coaching staff likes to get creative with his usage. Can expect Williams to score from anywhere on the field. Elite acceleration and elusiveness. The tape shows touchdowns from screens, jet sweep actions behind the line of scrimmage. There isn’t an alignment on offense that this young man can’t fill. Incredible YAC ability. Expecting his production to soar through the roof. https://twitter.com/ZaireWilliamss/status/1462130774128398345?s=20&t=HLNuBuE5QKY3KgOR77JbEA   [player_tooltip player_id="255776" first="Dorian" last="McGhee"] | 6’2, 200 | Western Beaver Here’s a hidden gem worthy of more attention and worthy of a jump in our rankings with time. His early sophomore tapes show off some seriously impressive hands from a big-bodied wideout that knows how to utilize leverage. His burst off the line of scrimmage is surprising for his weight. His pass-catching ability and catch radius is definitely his calling card, yet the young man still contributes on special teams, as well as at LB for WB where he can play the pass well. Solid run-stuffs on film too. [player_tooltip player_id="91543" first="Dontae" last="Campagna"] | 5’8, 155 | Blackhawk Blackhawk will do a great job involving Campagna in the offense through jet-sweeps and easy touches behind the line of scrimmage. All are ways to utilize his good straight-line speed. He has different gears he can hit, can hit the next gear laterally which is a plus. Where I see a future for Campagna is at Safety. There is attitude and energy at this position that can set the tone for a defense. Sets the edge and can contain in a flash from his safety spot. Great last line of defense. Has really good ability to tackle different offensive builds. 53 tackles as a sophomore from his safety spot. Not afraid to mix in some pass coverage either. Some INT’s and PBU’s on display.   Top 300 [player_tooltip player_id="256238" first="Chris" last="Kohlbrenner"] | 5’10, 165 | Upper Dublin 10-minute tape that shows off everything Kohlbrenner can do on the field. A pleasure to watch this sophomore tape that displayed range and hands from the Upper Dublin safety prospect. Where many ATH’s may have a primary position that they excel at, I think Kohlbrenner is equally as reliable and productive at wideout as he is a defensive back. At safety, he shows the range to cover vertical shots thanks to his good ability to track the football. He can come down, square up and bring ball carriers down in the open field as well. I see solid route recognition from the 1st-Team All-SOL DB. He’s only going to develop more in time. Excited to see where his future will take him. https://twitter.com/Ckohlbrenner20/status/1477399285566165001?s=20&t=HLNuBuE5QKY3KgOR77JbEA [player_tooltip player_id="256239" first="Keon" last="Kenner"] | 6’0, 220 | Frankford Formerly out of Bishop McDevitt Wynvote, [player_tooltip player_id="256239" first="Keon" last="Kenner"] is an absolute brute in the trenches for Frankford. The first run on film really sets the tone for the type of player you’re getting in Kenner. Thick athlete who is looking for contact and exploiting that matchup, because he is more than likely bigger and stronger. Goal-line usage is expected which is obvious. From a scouting lens, I could see this young man be equally punishing on the defensive side of the ball but reps are limited as of right now. We will see if that changes this Fall. [player_tooltip player_id="256245" first="Paul" last="Helvy"] | 5’8, 165 | University Prep Here’s an under-rated RB prospect who has some serious bounce in his feet, along with serious lateral agility. His cuts are explosive and often catches defenders in the open field off guard. He contributes on special teams but may receive a RB designation next update as he primarily serves as U Prep’s scat back. A ton of reps were stopped just short of touchdowns. Had these reps scored, you may be hearing this young man’s name much more often. I expect those triples to turn into home runs in his junior season.
