This young man is truly the walking personification of versatility. From being a standout off-ball linebacker to being a blazing fast running back, there is nothing DJ McClary DJ McClary 6'1" | 185 lbs | ATH Henry Snyder | 2025 State NJ cant do on a football field. On defense, he is a standout linebacker standing at 6’1 190lbs as only a FRESHMAN. He has good instincts and even better closing speed. Able to make plays at or around the line scrimmage, has solid footspeed, able to use his hands and arm length to defeat blocks. He also has excellent play strength and excels in one on one tackling situations.
His coaching staff does a great job of utilizing him all over the football field. They use him similarly to how the Dallas Cowboys utilized LB Micah Parsons this past season. McClary has snaps at edge and does a pretty decent job of getting after the quarterback, considering that isn’t his full-time position. The next wrinkle that should be added to his resume is playing snaps at outside cornerback. With the length, movement skills, foot speed, and physicality he possesses after finishing his freshman season. It may bode well to put him in a position to guard talented wide receivers. Based on his tape, he’ll probably be a top-flight cornerback also.

Tylik Hill Tylik Hill 5'9" | 180 lbs | RB Pope John | 2025 State NJ is one of the most dynamic players in this class. Whether it’s at running back or wide receiver, getting the ball in his hands is all he needs to make an impact. He’s a thicker back at 5’9 185 and for a back, with a thicker frame, he is very elusive. Doesn’t have breakaway speed but has enough to where if he’s in the open field, good luck trying to catch him. He does well with his vision and seeing holes before they develop. One thing that is a red flag is he lacks patience and will bounce the football outside in a heartbeat. Being only a freshman, rawness comes with being that young. With another year under his belt and constant training, all evidence points to him having a breakout sophomore campaign.

Delaney Fludd Delaney Fludd 6'3" | 290 lbs | DL Bergen Catholic | 2025 State NJ stands at 6’3 280 and looks every bit of it. A disruptive one tech who uses his hands really well for a freshman and has some refreshing technicality to his game. Is a bear in run defense and opposing offensive linemen have a tough time trying to block him one on one. With his solid hand usage for a guy his size, he is effective at getting after the quarterback. He has an array of moves that can go to and execute effectively. Has to work on his get-off and initial burst, but we have no doubts that will develop with time.
