Quarterbacks:
Highlights
Jyaire Walls Pittsburgh Central Catholic. The quarterback MVP of the camp is a natural selection as a 1st-team QB. Walls was consistently the best QB all day at the prospect camp. He is an impressive prospect that I cannot wait to see how he does in the next two years. Walls has good mechanics and can make all the throws needed to be successful.
Colt Sprankle Colt Sprankle 6'0" | 155 lbs | QB Armstrong | 2026 State PA Armstrong. Sprankle was very impressive all day at the prospect camp. He pushed Walls all day at the prospect camp and you could make an argument he was the better QB at the prospect camp. Sprankle is an impressive player who just finished his Freshman year. I expect big things from Spanrkle going forward. Sprankle and I had a great conversation after the camp and I came away impressed with his maturity and his drive to push his teammates.
Running Backs:
Amahj Gowans Amahj Gowans 5'8" | 170 lbs | RB Neumann Goretti | 2026 State PA Neuman Goretti. The MVP of the running backs really showed off his skills all day at camp. He was the most consistent player in all the drills, competitions, and activities at the camp for running backs. He was super impressive in the one on one drills against other linebackers. Gowans was only a Freshman last year, so the sky is the limit for him. He should only improve and get better going forward.
Highlights
Elijah Johnson Elijah Johnson 5'11" | 180 lbs | RB Milton Hershey | 2024 State PA Milton Hershey. Johnson pushed Gowans all day at running back. He was super impressive in the one on one drills when he used his athleticism to shine over the linebackers. Johnson really earned his spot by consistently performing at the Prospect Camp. I am excited to see how his Senior Year should go. A 1st team selection was well earned for Johnson.
Wide Receivers:
Highlights
Michael Scott Michael Scott 5'9" | 155 lbs | WR Dallastown | 2025 State PA Dallastown. Scott was a super impressive athlete and was named the MVP of the wide receiver group. He really earned this destination because the talent in the wide receiver group was unbelievable. Scott ran a 4.35 40, and then backed it up with good routes and dominated the one on one matchups with the defensive backs. Scott is an impressive player who should get plenty of College Football offers in the future.
Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA had this to say about Scott:
No one prospect dominated each and every rep the way Michael Scott Michael Scott 5'9" | 155 lbs | WR Dallastown | 2025 State PA did. I told those beforehand that he would do exactly that. I’m an advocator of this young man on and off the field, so I’m familiar with the complete skillset he brings to the table. I’m happy the coaches in attendance got a taste of it too. Incredible release off the LOS that no DB at the camp could keep up with. Scott has the speed to burn coupled with incredible tracking ability. All of this makes for one of the toughest matchups any DB has had to go up against in our camp’s history.
Highlights
Elias Coke Elias Coke 6'2" | 195 lbs | ATH Harrisburg | 2026 State PA Harrisburg. Coke was a super impressive prospect and it was striking to see him do so well and he just finished his Freshman Year of High School. Coke has great size and uses it well when he is in tight coverage. He ran a 4.53, which is a great time for someone as big as Coke. I was also blown away by his competitiveness. At one point he jumped in and played some defensive back. Coke is a competitor and a good prospect that deserves all the attention he is getting from College Football Coaches.
Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA had this to say about Coke:
6’2, 202 pounds (official). Registered a 4.53 40 at his build, 9’5 broad to show off the explosion in his legs. A true X, Elias Coke Elias Coke 6'2" | 195 lbs | ATH Harrisburg | 2026 State PA is building a complete game by blending power and speed. Blazing feet and balance at the LOS will surprise DBs and keep them on their toes. If not, Coke can win against physical DBs looking to get into his chest early. Every time I see the kid his shoulders are getting broader, stride becoming longer.
Tanie Young Tanie Young 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Trinity | 2025 State PA Trinity. Young put his name on the map with an outstanding showing at the camp. He is a good athlete that does a nice job catching the ball and running good routes. Young was super impressive all day and he showed why he deserves a higher ranking. Young is an explosive player I cannot wait to see him play in the future. The competition was tight, but he earned a 1st team selection.
Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA had this to say about Young:
Much of the rankings above are justified, maybe with some tweaks here and there. This one on Tanie Young Tanie Young 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Trinity | 2025 State PA has to change ASAP. I have a hard time believing there are 21 wideouts better than Trinity’s Tanie Young Tanie Young 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Trinity | 2025 State PA . One of the more pleasant surprises of the camp, Tanie was practically laughing at the competition trying to keep up with his blazing speed and acceleration.
Offensive Line:
Highlights
Fynn Mcdonald Fynn Mcdonald 6'8" | 325 lbs | OL Allentown Central Catholic | 2024 State PA Allentown Central Catholic. One thing I was told a long time ago was is you cannot teach size and McDonald has great size. Standing 6’8″ inches tall he is a mammoth of a human being. He is also super talented and moves well for his size. He was the MVP of the offensive lineman, a distinction that was well earned. He also deserved 1st team selection.
Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA had this to say about McDonald:
Fynn Mcdonald Fynn Mcdonald 6'8" | 325 lbs | OL Allentown Central Catholic | 2024 State PA put on the most complete performance of any at the camp, that’s saying something considering Charles English and Carter Stallard hardly lost reps. McDonald put forth the same effort, although a tad more assertive. An incredible reach, McDonald doesn’t have an excuse for letting defensive linemen in his chest. There was no steering or maneuvering this young man at tackle. You either tried your best to win with speed, if McDonald got his hands in your chest, the rep was over.
Highlights
Carter Stallard Christiansburg, VA. Stallard is from Virginia. He is another player with great size. For someone was big as Stallard he showed good athletic ability at the prospect camp. Stallard can really move and has excellent feet. I was very impressed with his skills set.

RB

had this to say about Stallard:
The tree can move. Sub-6-second 40, 7’8 broad to show off the flexibility and explosion in his trunks. Had the chance to see his knee drive and feet balance in mirror drills, and all came back clean. A smooth overall performance was capped off with multiple dominant wins that showed off his violent temperament.
Highlights
Charles English Jr Charles English Jr 6'4" | 280 lbs | OL William Penn Charter | 2024 State PA . William Penn Charter. Another impressive player who was in the running for MVP of the camp. What stood out for him was his strength. He showed good strength and dominated much of the camp. Another player with good size standing 6’4″ inches tall. English showed he belong to the best players at this position and earned the 1st team camp selection.
Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA had this to say about English:
Fabulous hips along with some springy knees allowed English to easily absorb and distribute power. Again, speed off the edge might be the only trick, which is easy to do in a shorts and t-shirt. I jog my memory and rewatch the tape and I can’t muster up any lost reps outside of some speed rushes. Very pleased the young man came to the camp. He’s got me in his corner from here on out.
Jon Smith Jon Smith 6'1" | 265 lbs | OL Pine-Richland | 2024 State PA Pine-Richland. Another offensive lineman who did a nice job at camp and earned 1st team honors. He uses good leverage and has excellent technique to control defensive lineman. Smith is also powerful and moves very well. He is truly an good offensive prospect. He earned the 1st team offensive lineman selection.
Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA had this to say about Smith:
livered to defensive linemen, enough power to startle and throttle many of the bigger IDL matched up with him. A true 6’0 guard/center, wonderful stature in his stance. Powerful, heavy limbs made him an early winner, wearing down weaker, younger prospects. Not too many losses in memory when thinking back to 1v1s. A ranking boost is in line and I’ll certainly pipe his names to coaches a bit more. All deserved. Champion lineman.
Highlights
Colby Reph Colby Reph 6'1" | 295 lbs | OL Northampton Area | 2024 State PA Northampton Area. The last member of our 1st-team offensive line. Reph did a nice job all camp at performing in the drill and held up against some talented offensive and defensive lineman. Reph should get some College Football if he has a strong Senior year.
