Fordham expressed interest in the form of letters and graphics, as have Duquesne, Maine, and Howard University. Fordham has seen enough to pull the trigger on the 6'4, two-way linemen prospect out of Penn Hills, being the first offer under Hundley's belt. [player_tooltip player_id='399276' first='Kelsey' last='Hundley'] placed as a top 50-overall prospect back in January, so it's nice to see the ball moving a bit in terms of recruiting. I imagine Hundley's name will grow hotter after coaches see his size and skill set up close for themselves. His tape checks out, I expect the FCS to be all over this kid, even G5 programs down the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["164529"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6438ccc6cf164"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>linemanAnother Penn Hills trench prospect that ranks near teammate [player_tooltip player_id='399276' first='Kelsey' last='Hundley'], also places as a top ten defensive linemen in his class. That being former PRZ camp standout [player_tooltip player_id='164529' first='Carter' last='Lance']. Lance knows how baffled I was for sometime as to why he hasn't gained the attention he deserves. I was under the impression that Lance was an early candidate to receive MAC offers about a year ago to the date. We haven't seen that come to fruition yet, but we have seen [player_tooltip player_id='164529' first='Carter' last='Lance'] pick up two separate FCS offers just under a month ago. Lance now has offers out of Duquesne and Maine under his belt.

I wasn't hesitant to move him down the ranks despite his projection not meeting reality for some time. Thankfully, the Mt. Lebanon lineman has racked up opportunities this offseason. Here is a list of said opportunities. It's worth noting, Young also has offers out of academies like Navy and Army.

The Group of Five offer solidified what we thought of [player_tooltip player_id='259541' first='Beckham' last='Dee'] in terms of potential ceiling. MAC schools need to be in on this kid. After this breakthrough, Dee received FCS offers out of Princeton, UPenn, Columbia, Duqesne, Holy Cross, and Lafayette. Again, I fully expect MAC schools to have Dee on their boards, I'd bet they agree with me when saying he's a top linebacker target in the state.

The team there has identified Zandier in the same light as I have, that's being one of the best TEs you can find in PA right now, certainly among his 2024 classmates. I think the young man has Power Five capabilities, yet you can see he's begun the offseason garnering impressive attention out of multiple FCS programs. I'm expecting the young man to hit 20+ offers sooner rather than later. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ZackZandier/status/1646639194234658817?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ZackZandier/status/1646639194234658817?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["377188"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='377188' first='Jack' last='Dendall'] is another kid I've been clamoring for programs to take a look at, specifically FCS and G5s.
