Philyhny Picciotti Philyhny Picciotti 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Pennridge | 2023 PA | 6’3, 230 | LB | Pennridge
Philyhny Picciotti Philyhny Picciotti 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Pennridge | 2023 PA retains his status as the best player in District One and to be quite honest, it’s not even close. Picciotti, the 4-star linebacker who is coveted by the likes of Oklahoma, Michigan, Auburn, and many more, will head into his final campaign at Pennridge High School this Fall, leading a defense loaded with talent. The list of ranked Pennridge players will be high, none of which will surpass Picciotti, who recently wrapped up his official visit to Oklahoma. As the nation awaits to see where Picciotti will decide to play his college ball, we are just happy we get another year of dominant linebacker play out of this young man.
Thank you @CoachTedRoof and @CoachVenables and everyone @OUFootball for an amazing official visit this weekend 🔥🔥#OUDNA #Uncommon #BOOMER pic.twitter.com/ik15tFyAvk

Yazeed Haynes Yazeed Haynes 6'2" | 175 lbs | WR North Penn | 2023 State PA | 6’1, 170 | WR | North Penn
Not sure if there has been a larger leap in notoriety since our last update. Yazeed Haynes Yazeed Haynes 6'2" | 175 lbs | WR North Penn | 2023 State PA , formerly out of Neumann-Goretti, has had one hell of an offseason. Haynes has been dominating the camp circuit, all on his way to earning his four-star status. We had a hard time placing Haynes above consensus #1 ranked WR Kenny Johnson Kenny Johnson 6'1" | 190 lbs | WR Dallastown Area | 2023 State PA , the stud WR will have to settle for second. Haynes is now bringing his elite speed and athleticism to North Penn HS to pair it with QB Ryan Zeltt Ryan Zeltt 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB North Penn | 2023 State PA . Should be a fun watch.
Kion Wright Kion Wright 6'3" | 235 lbs | DL Cheltenham | 2023 State PA | 6’3, 235 | DL | Cheltenham
Back-to-back prospects who will be breaking in some new uniforms. After Haynes is Kion Wright Kion Wright 6'3" | 235 lbs | DL Cheltenham | 2023 State PA , formerly out of Northeast High School in Philadelphia, now rushing the passer for Cheltenham. Cheltenham will look a lot different this coming Fall, District One better be ready for an overhauled program with a top-20 prospect leading the defense. The star is holding multiple Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC offers.
Cooper Young Cooper Young 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Downingtown West | 2023 State PA | 6’5, 300 | OL | Downingtown West
It feels as though Cooper Young Cooper Young 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Downingtown West | 2023 State PA is often an after-thought when thinking of Pennsylvania prospects from a national perspective. He won’t be overshadowed here in District One, as Young might be the most dominant trench man in the entire conference, possibly even in the state itself. 300 pounds shouldn’t move like this! From what I hear his stock is about to go through the roof, in just under 6 weeks, Young has brought in offers from Kent State, Yale, Penn, Buffalo, and Bowling Green.
Harrison Susi Harrison Susi 5'11" | 190 lbs | QB Coatesville | 2023 State PA | 5’11, 195 | QB | Coatesville
Say what you want about Susi’s size. His production is prolific, which is honestly the best way to describe his game. We are happy to adjust his ranking accordingly and add him, along with Colin O’Sullivan Colin O’Sullivan 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Upper Dublin | 2023 State PA , into the top 100. Yes, we project players based on measurables all of the time, yet Susi’s game is undeniable. He will lead Coatesville on what we expect to be another great Fall campaign.
Colin O’Sullivan Colin O’Sullivan 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Upper Dublin | 2023 State PA | 6’0, 175 | QB | Upper Dublin
One of my personal favorite prospects, Colin O’Sullivan Colin O’Sullivan 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Upper Dublin | 2023 State PA also hears chatter about his potential size being an issue at the next level. Throw this take out of the window and bring him in to throw, he will wow you. His overall accuracy is just as elite as anyone in the state regardless of class. We are happy to see college begin to catch on, as O’Sullivan has recently begun to hear back from coaches in the area. FCS-floor for this Upper Dublin product.
Excited to win the @Elite11 Pro Day Challenge while competing with so many great QB's! @QBHitList @Stumpf_Brian @UpperDublinFB @PaFootballNews @SOLsports @RWrightRivals @seanfitz247 @RivalsRichie @RivalsFriedman @BrianDohn247 https://t.co/LrWARUfRNc

Brennan Fisher Brennan Fisher 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Pennridge | 2023 State PA | 5’11, 180 | RB/ATH | Pennridge
Running back / Athlete Brennan Fisher Brennan Fisher 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Pennridge | 2023 State PA makes a huge jump into the top ten. I love the way this young man works in the offseason, as well as the total spectrum he provides his football team. Athleticism and versatility are areas that Fisher excels in, so much so that Army of WP offered him a scholarship. On May 5th, Fisher made his intentions clear, committing to Army shortly after visiting. This marks two Pennridge players in the top ten.

Brandon Kelley Brandon Kelley 6'6" | 230 lbs | DL Owen J. Roberts | 2023 State PA | 6’5, 225 | DL | Owen J. Roberts
Jack Dunkley Jack Dunkley 6'4" | 240 lbs | DL Neshaminy | 2023 State PA | 6’4, 240 | DL | Neshaminy
Nick Buchys Nick Buchys 6'3" | 245 lbs | DL Neshaminy | 2023 State PA | 6’3, 245 | DL | Neshaminy
The following three prospects are all defensive linemen who are new to the site, all of which are debuting just outside the top 100. 6’5 Dual-Sport athlete Brandon Kelley Brandon Kelley 6'6" | 230 lbs | DL Owen J. Roberts | 2023 State PA may have finally broken through to the next level of recruitment, as he picked up an offer out of Jim Mora and the University of Connecticut, making it Kelley’s first official D1 offer.
Jack Dunkley Jack Dunkley 6'4" | 240 lbs | DL Neshaminy | 2023 State PA and Nick Buchys Nick Buchys 6'3" | 245 lbs | DL Neshaminy | 2023 State PA round out the top ten, both of which are teammates along the same defensive line. Any offense line gearing up to play against Neshaminy this Fall is going to have to gameplan against these two giant pass rushers who can also provide a little something on both sides of the ball. These two make attending a Neshaminy game a must this upcoming Fall. Dunkley and Buchys are each holding D1 offers.
