Continue ReadingVanburen is one of the most talented QB’s in the nation and lives up to caliber every week. SFA played a nationally ranked schedule, testing Michael week in and week out. He has the ability of a scrambling QB but instead sits in the pocket and delivers dimes all over the field. His arm talent is through the roof, he shows that he can make about any type of throw, back shoulder, splitting the zone, outside shoulder, you name it. His footwork and composure in the pocket are efficient allowing him to scan the field and make good decisions on the fly. Earlier this month he released his top 8 schools including Penn State, Miami, Oklahoma, Oregon & Maryland to name a few.
Highlights
Washington absolutely exploded onto the scene in MD this season, finishing his season with 2,979 passing yards, averaging 248 yards per game, and 29 touchdowns. To cap it off he led Archbishop Spalding to a MIAA Championship. Malik is a very accurate and decisive young gun slinger; he puts the ball in the best spot possible for his receivers to make big plays. He continuously shows off his arm strength with his deep ball but also shows that he can put touch on the ball to drop it right into the breadbasket. Malik currently holds just a handful of offers including JMU, Maryland, and Virginia Tech. After a season like this one expect his recruitment to take a leap over the next few weeks.
RB
Robinson is a do it all back who uses an arsenal of skills and running styles to get into the endzone. He has size and runs behind his pads while also having the second gear and explosiveness to take it the distance. Durell can turn the smallest crease into a ten-yard gain with his impressive footwork. He cuts through the defense while maintaining speed all while running with aggression to finish runs. Robinson recently decommitted from Boston College, opening his recruitment to all schools. His top 3 schools before committing were Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and Boston College.
Highlights
Jones was named this year’s WCAC Player of the Year for his dominant performance on the field. He possesses a second gear that allows him to clearly pull away from defenders. Not only is his breakaway speed dangerous, but he also has a physicality to beware of. He throws would be tacklers with his stiff arm and runs right through poor tackling. Jones has a boat load of offers from some of the top programs in the nation like Michigan, Penn State, and Notre Dame.
Highlights
WR
Moss caused havoc in the MIAA this past season, leading the state with 1,416 yards and 21 touchdowns. Moss is a big play threat with game breaking speed and ball skills. He sprints straight down the middle of the field, out running all angles multiple times on his film. If he can’t outrun his defender, he can go up and catch the ball over them. He has strong hands and attacks the ball in the air, while also having the focus and body control to make catches in tight windows. Moss is verbally committed to JMU with offers such as Army, Navy, Kent State and Old Dominion still on the table.
Highlights
Green is an electric playmaker out of PG, he is a weapon anywhere on the field. Deep passes, screens, punt return and even at safety on defense, he is a threat whenever he has the ball in his hands. Green has next level size and dominates his opponents. He shows breakaway speed with the strength to muscle smaller DB’s. When the ball is in the air, he is capable of making acrobatic catches that make you double take. So far Green holds three offers from Towson, Sacred Heart, and Wheeling University.
Highlights
Moore is a dynamic athlete with great height advantage over his opposing DB’s. He dominates one on one coverage; his route running is crisp and sudden while his ball skills are top tier. After the catch he uses his size to his advantage, putting his powerful stiff arm on display. Moore currently holds offers from Ohio State, and Michigan among others.

OL
Chimdy Onoh
Chimdy Onoh
Onoh shows what dominance on the offensive line looks like if you’ve never seen it. He is powerful and explosive off the ball and blocks defenders through the whistle. He shows his strength with a handful of pancakes and a few more explosive plays. One play that stands out from Onoh is a 1 hand pancake, showing the amount of strength and power he possesses. He man handled his opponents all season and is just starting to receive recognition. He is currently being recruited by a few power five schools such as Penn State, Colorado and Ole Miss.
Crounse is a beast in the trenches, he doesn’t waste much time on his blocks, he pancakes them or removes them from the play. His explosiveness on contact is impressive, he delivers the blow to defenders and is the aggressor making contact. He can move really well for his size making him that much more valuable as a prospect. Crounse is currently verbally committed to Boston College.
Highlights
The other side of Dematha’s championship O-line, Babalade was an important asset for the Dematha offense. He plays with violent hands and aggression, once his hands are extended into the defender good luck fighting free. He drives defenders off the ball with ease, showing why he’s such a highly recruited prospect. Babalde recently decommit from South Carolina, opening the door to new and old programs. His previous top 8 includes schools such as Ohio State, Michigan and Maryland.
Highlights
Ian is a bulldozer in the center of the line for SJC. He’s a bruiser always looking for contact between the whistles. Ian shows some versatility shifting between Guard and Center but still playing with the same intensity. The 6’4 310 athlete helped lead St. Johns to a back-to-back WCAC title.
Highlights
Link is a big athletic playmaker, yes, a playmaker on the offensive line. He’s really quick in short yardage and he does a great job sealing off defenders and opening up holes in the run game. He shows countless plays where he washes his opponent right down the line of scrimmage, sometimes taking out another defender in the same action. Link is currently committed to Michigan; he should be a good fit for the wolverines with his aggressive run blocking style.
Highlights
Middleton is the most dynamic TE in the state with receiver like ball skills and TE size at 6’6 200lbs. He can stretch the field vertically while providing a physical mismatch up against safeties and linebackers. With the ball in his hands, he has the speed and agility to make defenders miss and gain chunk yardage.
