Many offensive and defensive lineman can play both sides of the ball. I will keep each prospect on one side of the ball strictly for this article, positions are fluid.
Cameron Chmura Cameron Chmura 6'3" | 290 lbs | DL North Allegheny | 2024 State PA / Declan Aikens Declan Aikens 6'2" | 250 lbs | OL Danville | 2023 State PA
Cameron Chmura Cameron Chmura 6'3" | 290 lbs | DL North Allegheny | 2024 State PA , a top 100 player amongst our 2024 rankings and frequent camper, the North Allegheny sophomore is up for any challenge presented to him. There’s no doubt in my mind that Chmura can win any rep against anyone at this camp. He’s got great hand-fighting technique and a real combination of power and speed. Declan Aikens Declan Aikens 6'2" | 250 lbs | OL Danville | 2023 State PA , who is back for his second Prep Redzone camp of the year, is set to claim his spot as the best offensive linemen at this camp. He’s going to face great competition amongst his position group, I would love to see how the Danville junior matches up against this beast underclassmen. Two studs.
Josh Angelo Josh Angelo 6'0" | 235 lbs | DL East Pennsboro | 2024 State PA / Sean Kinney Sean Kinney 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Nazareth | 2024 State PA
Would love to see this matchup. Josh Angelo Josh Angelo 6'0" | 235 lbs | DL East Pennsboro | 2024 State PA , an East Pennsboro sophomore, is an underrated prospect that is willing to earn his respect. His production should warrant it, coming up with 17 TFL’s last season, along with 6 sacks. This workout warrior has to be one of the stronger prospects at this event. Would love to gauge his ability against Sean Kinney Sean Kinney 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Nazareth | 2024 State PA of Nazareth HS. Happy to see Kinney’s stock begin to rise. The young man has secured two D1 offers just this Month. More on the way. Kinney can play both sides of the ball but I like his ability on offense. Kinney is an awesome finisher at guard who can identify his assignment in space easily. Lot of attitude and motor in this pairing.
Colin Riley Colin Riley 6'0" | 250 lbs | DL Rustin | 2024 State PA / Cooper Lauersen
Here are two raw prospects who are taking this offseason as serious as anyone I can find. Each have been working their tails off to refine their games, grow in the weight room and work against real competition at camp settings, much like this one. I have seen first-hand Colin Riley Colin Riley 6'0" | 250 lbs | DL Rustin | 2024 State PA ‘s growth in both height and weight. There is no questioning this kids work ethic. He’s going to provide legit leg power and balance with each rep. Cooper Lauersen has the size advantage over someone but Riley but I wouldn’t underestimate Riley’s ability to move laterally. Lauersen’s development is coming along smoothly based on what I see on Twitter. Won’t know how far along he’s come for sure until the event.
Irvin Briggs IV / Kevin Towns Kevin Towns 6'4" | 290 lbs | OL St. Joseph's Prep | 2024 State PA
Will be a blessing to see these two D1 prospects go at it live. Briggs IV is a new name to me, the out-of-state stud has excellent film on both sides of the football. The same can be said of Archbishop Wood’s Kevin Towns Kevin Towns 6'4" | 290 lbs | OL St. Joseph's Prep | 2024 State PA . Both players have FCS floors in my opinion, a matchup like this is well-worth the travel for any college coach in attendance. Towns edge’s Briggs in the size department by 30 pounds, but Briggs is much too athletic to count out against anyone at this camp. Intrigued to see where both decide to play.
Koren Robinson / Jacob Begansky Jacob Begansky 6'3" | 265 lbs | OL Pottsville Area | 2023 State PA
Bengansky wins the size matchup, but size has never stopped Koren Robinson from producing. I have witnessed Koren Robinson stack up well against some of the best offensive linemen NJ, MD and PA had to offer this past March. Recruitment has been slow but Robinson might be on track to see some traction soon. Begansky is a relatively new name to me but love his game at tackle. Best part of his offseason was gaining what we hope will be 20 pounds of muscle. Excited to see his frame go to work.
Conlan Greene Conlan Greene 6'4" | 265 lbs | DL Penn-Trafford | 2023 State PA / Richard Pohorilenko Richard Pohorilenko 6'3" | 280 lbs | OL Council Rock South | 2023 State PA
Conlan Greene Conlan Greene 6'4" | 265 lbs | DL Penn-Trafford | 2023 State PA might be my pick to win best pass-rusher / DL at this event. That’s how highly I think of this young man. Happy to finally see his recruitment heat up, with Maine, Central Michigan, Saint Francis and numerous D2’s offering within the last two weeks. It’s deserved. The hype train on Conlan Greene Conlan Greene 6'4" | 265 lbs | DL Penn-Trafford | 2023 State PA won’t stop anytime soon. Anyone matching up with this kid is going to be greeted with a 6’4 brick wall that oozes athleticism. A tank in Richard Pohorilenko Richard Pohorilenko 6'3" | 280 lbs | OL Council Rock South | 2023 State PA will be waiting. The engine on this kid is through the roof, it shows on the field and in the weight room. Tackle and defensive tackle capabilities. Pohorilenko will be a tough kid to win reps against due to his sheer power.
Anthony Petrulo Anthony Petrulo 6'1" | 215 lbs | DL Norwin | 2023 State PA / Soren Stoltzfus Soren Stoltzfus 6'2" | 285 lbs | OL Conestoga Valley | 2024 State PA
This pairing is a fun one. Petrulo is an under-rated prospect whose name I don’t hear enough when talking to coaches in the state. Understandable, the kid only has one tape to his name heading into his senior year, one tape that shows he’s got solid shedding ability. Great build and athleticism, looks like he could play tight end if need be. Quick off the ball, wreaks havoc in running lanes. I like what Petrulo provides the Norwin the defense. Soren Stoltzfus Soren Stoltzfus 6'2" | 285 lbs | OL Conestoga Valley | 2024 State PA is relatively the same height while packing 40+ pounds compared to Petrulo. Don’t get it twisted. Stoltzfus can eat up speed and power and plans on doing so at the event. I already saw him do it before, awesome offseason out of the former Prep Redzone StockUp Standout.
