Rising Stars: 2025 Defensive Backs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Would it surprise you to hear another Bergen Catholic and St. Joseph's player has made it on the Rising Stars' list? Not one bit. To go with those two players, we also have three players representing other great programs from the state. A mixture of shut down corners and hard hitting safeties, the 2025 class of defensive backs have a little bit of everything. Read on to see what these players have to offer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["475348"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"St. Joseph's [player_tooltip player_id='475348' first='Jahmir' last='Joseph'] is a cornerback you need to keep your eye on. This man is a true shut down corner that already has senior level size. He breaks on the ball extremely quickly, doing a great job reading the receiver's movement so he can beat them to the ball. When he meets the receiver there, you can be sure Jahmir is going to fight for the ball.rnrnJahmir is the type of corner you want a jump ball or fade thrown his direction. He's either coming down with the ball or swatting it out of the hands of the receiver. Jahmir is a special talent, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we see him in the College Football Playoffs in the future.rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6424d75d9dabf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16601689/63288cef9a91420898b47ee5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6424d75d9db1f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["475349"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another stud coming out of Bergen Catholic's 2025 class, [player_tooltip player_id='475349' first='Naiim' last='Parrish'] is another young shut down cornerback. He seems to have mastered so many aspects of his game very early in his career. Whether it's breaking down to wrap up the runner, or baiting a QB to throw into his territory, there are few holes in Naiim's game. With great anticipation and quickness, Naiim can change direction the moment the ball leaves the QB's hand and make a play on it.rnrnNaiim is another player with great size as a sophomore, and it will be interesting to see how big of an impact he will have these next two falls. He is a very well rounded cornerback, really going neck and neck with Jahmir for the best CB coming out of NJ in 2025.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6424d75d9db7e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16207268/638f52265ca97f0de03429a8' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6424d75d9db9f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["389775"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Renick Doralis may be the fastest defensive back on this list. You will not find many players that can outrun him. He is so quick he could seriously play slot receiver at the next level if he wanted to. I imagine he could also be used as a secret weapon on special teams in the return game as well. The Union product is a lockdown corner in man to man. The QB better be on point when throwing Renick's direction, because there's a good chance he'll regret it.

Dominic looks like he's shot out of cannon when he gets into the backfield. He has a hound mentality, pursuing the runner relentlessly until their in his grasp. Dominic played a somewhat hybrid position in 2022. He played up close to the line for the majority of his highlights, so it will be great to see him get more involved in the pass coverage in 2023.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6424d75d9dccd"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16467779/63557f523df5110f70e7ec7e' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6424d75d9dce9"} /-->
