He ended the season with 4 wins and 2 losses as a starting quarterback. During his time, he had 121 attempts and completed 77 for a total of 1213 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The confidence and poise Carroll displays in his skill set is promising to is future recruitment interest. He has shown the willingness to come in and compete for a position no matter where he is placed on a depth chart. This is something he will have to do at the next level when all said and done. This is a major trait many college coaches love to see in a young recruit.
Highlights
Darnell Bronson Darnell Bronson 5’10” | 195 lbs | ATH Lawrence Academy | 2026 State New E is an athlete positioned at defensive back from New Milford High School in Connecticut. He is 5’10” 180lbs with good quickness and excellent athletic skills. He has a academic record 3.2 GPA. This season on offense, he completed 111 passes out of 177 attempts.

On defense, he had 32 tackles and two interceptions. rn”Bronson is dynamic in many ways on both offense and defense. His film shows him playing QB on offense where he is mainly executing RPO and taking the ball to the house untouched. His speed is excellent along with his ability to juke in open field to make defenders miss. On defense, he can play safety or the corner position. He is seen as a punishing defender that will come down and lay the boom with excellent coverage skills. He can bend while showing body control and balance.
Highlights
Lucas Candiotto Lucas Candiotto 6’5″ | 305 lbs | OL St. Sebastian’s School | 2025 State New E is a offensive lineman from St. Sebastians School in Massachusetts. He is 6’5″ 300lbs and has a academic GPA 3.78. Candiotto is coming off a season where he helped lead his team to a League Championship while being positioned at the right tackle. He has a massive frame that many will love to see at the next level.
The offensive line is all about feet, flexibility, using hands, strength, quickness, toughness, meanness and nastiness. When viewing his film, he checks many of these boxes. He has time and room for growth and develop. He has told me he has early interest from UMass but at the time of publication, he does not have any offers. I project he will see a slew of coaches showing interest has we head into to the spring season 2023.

Dylan Clifton is an offensive lineman who attends Choate Rosemary Hall In Connecticut. He is 6’3″ 290lbs with a 4.0 academic GPA. He is from Austin, Texas and used to play at Hays High School. He started as a Center his freshman year at 14 years old playing Texas 6A football. While at Choate, he was awarded 1st Team All-Founders honors for his performance at Center. He is also on the fall term Deans List. He has athletic numbers that include a 600lbs pound squat, 375lbs bench and 595lbs deadlift.He has a attitude and motor that some coaches say you cannot teach. You either have it or you don’t. This jumps off the tape, It jumps off the field too. Motor and effort are one thing but playing with real tenacity and anger as he appears to do, is usually what separates the men from the boys.
rnIn speaking with him, he alerted me that right now University of Texas, Stanford, Penn State, and Duke have all shown recruiting interest. He is interested in UT Austin, Stanford, University of Michigan, Princeton, Duke, Penn State and all the Ivys.
Brenden Berube Brenden Berube 6’1″ | 270 lbs | OL Xaverian Brothers | 2025 State New E is an offensive lineman who attends Xaverian Brothers H.S. in Massachusetts. He is 6’0″ 265lbs.
He has complete field awareness at pre-snap. His interior linemen’s traits are similar to the ones most interior linemen are already used to. Guards need to be able to move, both laterally and in space. Slow feet don’t eat. Communication skills need to be elevated, awareness needs to be evident before the snap and after. He has these abilities. He has time to develop and hope for potential growth in height to attracted higher level schools to take interest. His overall skill set is one that college coaches will want to know more about as I see him as a rising sensation.
