The top ten District 12 prospect list is dominated by Philadelphia Catholic League prospects, a reality most of us have come to grips with.

Imhotep Institute and Archbishop Wood each add two to the top ten list. Archbishop Wood might be losing a ton of their talent to other programs because of a head coaching change, yet they still hold DL Eric Gardner Eric Gardner 6'1" | 250 lbs | DL Archbishop Wood | 2023 State PA as well as nationally recognized tight-end Markus Dixon Markus Dixon 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE Archbishop Wood | 2023 State PA . Two elite prospects on both sides of the ball still makes you a formidable opponent in the PCL. Imhotep might have only had one prospect on this list if not for said head coaching change at AB Wood.
Arguably the best linebacker in the entire state, Semaj Bridgeman Semaj Bridgeman 6'2" | 235 lbs | LB Imhotep Charter | 2023 State PA decided to finish his senior year and high school career at Imhotep Institute this Fall. Bridgeman’s ferocious mentality will fit like a glove in this defense led by Rahmir Stewart Rahmir Stewart 6'0" | 205 lbs | DB Imhotep Charter | 2023 State PA , Mysir Mayo Mysir Mayo 6'1" | 255 lbs | DL Imhotep Charter | 2023 State PA and many other underclassmen talents. We were big fans of many in the 2022 Imhotep class, the Bridgeman addition will help the program stay locked and loaded this Fall.
The sole public league player in the top ten is Northeast’s Naquil Betrand Naquil Betrand 6'6" | 320 lbs | OL Northeast | 2023 MD , who’s stock has soared like none other since our last update. The Colorado commit has since garnered offers out of multiple SEC programs, including Texas A&M, Georgia, Kentucky, and Auburn University. Teammates Ronel Nukah Ronel Nukah 6'3" | 235 lbs | DL Northeast | 2023 State PA and Tyrese Whitaker Tyrese Whitaker 6'2" | 235 lbs | DL Northeast | 2023 State PA just barely missed this cut, all of which will suit up as Vikings this Fall.
The last two on the list are both national prospects out of premier programs in District 12. Josiah Trotter Josiah Trotter 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB St. Joseph's Prep | 2023 State PA jumped into the top five this update, leaping Pennridge’s Phil Picciotti Phil Picciotti 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Pennridge | 2023 FL by one spot to secure his spot as the best 2023 prospect in the Catholic League. Shawn Battle Shawn Battle 5'11" | 175 lbs | DB Neumann-Goretti | 2023 State PA is also recognized inside, a defensive back who is both a top ten District 12 player and a top ten defensive back overall.
