<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In-depth analysis of the top performing players from the IAC this past season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 6'5 230 DL - [player_tooltip player_id='321792' first='Nnamdi' last='Udeogu'] - Georgetown Prep - Princeton University </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Princeton Tiger's commit [player_tooltip player_id='321792' first='Nnamdi' last='Udeogu'] will graduate in 2023 as one of the top athletes in Maryland, and he will compete in both football and track and field during his time in New Jersey. Udeogu is also the #1 ranked discus thrower in all of Maryland. His athletic prowess is off the charts, and he truly has the opportunity to achieve greatness at Princeton. [player_tooltip player_id='321792' first='Nnamdi' last='Udeogu'] was an integral part of Georgetown Prep's phenomenal season in 2022, and there's no doubt in my mind that he will bring that same leadership and energy to the Ivey League. It will be very exciting to watch [player_tooltip player_id='321792' first='Nnamdi' last='Udeogu'] compete at the next level, and Princeton Tiger nation should be absolutely ecstatic with his commitment! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights:<a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13364015/6300df57bed805067c8f8318"> https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13364015/6300df57bed805067c8f8318</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 6'3 185 DB/LB - [player_tooltip player_id='192008' first='Christopher' last='Wells'] - Landon </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 1st Team All-IAC linebacker, Chris "The General" Wells, played at an elite level all year for the Landon Bears in 2022. Wells racked up 136 total tackles this season, along with 14 sacks and 4 forced fumbles, and he also led the defense in touchdowns with 2. Wells is a phenomenal defender, and he reads offenses better than most players at this level. He has really high level anticipation, which helps with his tackle count, and he also defends very well in coverage. There isn't much that Chris Wells cannot do, and he should absolutely see more offers. He already has a few from Wheeling and West Virginia State, but, after such a strong season, it would surprise me if more scouts don't reach out to him. He possesses a high ceiling, and, with proper development, I believe he can make an impact at the D1 level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://t.co/X6saMKVWK3">https://t.co/X6saMKVWK3</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 6'3 190 QB - Nicholas Behrens - Georgetown Prep - Trinity College </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trinity College commit Nicholas Behrens played a tremendous season in 2022. He led the Georgetown Prep Little Hoyas to a dominant 8-2 record, and he even earned 1st Team All-IAC honors as a specialist. There's zero doubt in my mind that Behrens will make a positive impact on the Trinity program during his time there, and his greatness at Georgetown Prep will absolutely extend to the next level. Banshee nation should be very excited about his commitment! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://t.co/t1RBwqmQFa">https://t.co/t1RBwqmQFa</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 5'11 190 LB - [player_tooltip player_id='507091' first='Kenny' last='Dilanian III'] - St. Alban's </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are very few Sophomore linebackers at this level that are as dominant on defense as [player_tooltip player_id='507091' first='Kenny' last='Dilanian III'], or KD3, of St. Alban's. Dilanian played lockdown defense all season long for the Bulldogs, and he already earned 1st Team All-IAC honors as just a Sophomore. He also earned 114 total tackles in 2022 alone. [player_tooltip player_id='507091' first='Kenny' last='Dilanian III'] is clearly a collegiate caliber defender with a ton of potential, and it's essential that linebacker scouts nationwide know his name. [player_tooltip player_id='507091' first='Kenny' last='Dilanian III'] is in a premier position to have a stellar high school football career both on and off the field at STA with the Bulldogs. He has a tremendously high ceiling as a recruit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://t.co/sFzReG60Dp">https://t.co/sFzReG60Dp</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 5'7 175 RB - [player_tooltip player_id='272270' first='DP' last='Pope'] - Landon </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='272270' first='DP' last='Pope'] is one of the most talented running backs in the 2025 class, and he must be recruited as such. Pope ran for nearly 5 total touchdowns this past season, and he showcased his elite level running talent and lateral quickness in only his second year of high school football. Pope truly had a tremendous season for the Landon Bears in 2022, and I wouldn't be surprised if collegiate scouts begin to express their interest in him soon. [player_tooltip player_id='272270' first='DP' last='Pope'] is a top 5 running back in Maryland's 2025 class, and he's only going to get better and better as his high school football career continues. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://twitter.com/jrbordley5/status/1591529183531802625?s=20&amp;t=UGea6ZqCPkeSSHCw-qb3Hw">https://twitter.com/jrbordley5/status/1591529183531802625?s=20&amp;t=UGea6ZqCPkeSSHCw-qb3Hw</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
