Continue ReadingUpper Darby’s Kamar Perlote Kamar Perlote 6’2″ | 190 lbs | LB Upper Darby | 2024 State PA is stacking the camp invites. Saint Francis, Monmouth, Temple, UConn, you might catch Perlote at any or all of these camps this Spring/Summer. He’s a name you’re going to want to circle.
6’2, 200-pound pass rusher with OLB capabilities. A bar of soap off the edge, scheme versatile prospect whose game is still very moldable. Not sure if many outside the area are familiar with his game. Should be a lock for FCS interest at the very least. I have a feeling he’s going to mature into his body soon. High chance he could put on great weight or even gain an inch or two in height.
Another year of tape at SJP and Taj Dyches Taj Dyches 5’8″ | 180 lbs | RB St. Joseph’s Prep | 2024 State PA should secure the FBS/FCS interest I believe he deserves. Fordham had the junior back in for a visit this past month. I’m sure he’s got a camp schedule loaded up but has kept things tight amongst his circle, as many at SJP do, and for good reason. Taj Dyches Taj Dyches 5’8″ | 180 lbs | RB St. Joseph’s Prep | 2024 State PA will have no shortage of looks considering the talent around him, he himself should garner attention. I expect the young man to have a phenomenal Fall, so I’m leaning toward being confident that everything will play itself out. Watch for him at your camps this summer.
I can’t say enough about the young man. I’ve been around the La Salle College linemen more than most, so he’s a personal no-brainer for whichever program inevitably lands him in the future. Lukas Donahue Lukas Donahue 6’3″ | 300 lbs | OL La Salle College | 2024 State PA reminds me a ton of 2023 prospect out of Wyomissing Pacen Zeigler. Similar in stature, both were in similar situations this time last year. Ziegler blew up eventually, keeping his head down and letting things play out. I think the same path is in front of Lukas Donahue Lukas Donahue 6’3″ | 300 lbs | OL La Salle College | 2024 State PA . I know the young man is an impeccable worker off the field, that work will come to light. Keep an eye out for the lineman if you see him on your camp roster.
Highlights
Andrew Kirlin Andrew Kirlin 6’6″ | 290 lbs | OL Marple Newtown | 2024 State PA is relatively quiet on Twitter, so I’m not sure if he’ll be making his rounds this Spring/Summer. If he does, he’ll stick out at your camps like a sore thumb. 6’6, 290, strange how he hasn’t developed more traction, at least from my perspective. I know how hard it is to find 6’6 prospects with legitimate tape. I know how valuable a prospect Kirlin could be to a D1 program. Coaches might be slow to getting out to the Marple Newtown area thus far. He could very well blow up in coming months. I imagine this kid’s name will get circled easily at camps, with or without my help.
Top 100 prospect, Ethen Knox Ethen Knox 6’1″ | 190 lbs | RB Oil City | 2024 State PA is going to get circled on roster sheets before coaches even step onto the field. If you follow PA football, you’ll know how ridiculous the young back was last Fall. The insane production will bring forth questions. I expect coaches to put Knox under a heavy lens to make sure his measurables check out. You can’t ignore 3,700+ rushing yards in a season, 42 TDs to boot. Coaches will want to see how he carries his weight, what’s his work ethic like. No prospect will be dissected harder than Knox, the upside and potential are through the roof.
Another example of a prospect who will stick out like a sore thumb, both in terms of physique and in play. I’m unsure of his off-season camp schedule, I sure hope colleges are inviting this 6’5 pass-catcher out to camps. I do know how active and special a lacrosse prospect he is, that might get in the way of some camping. Nonetheless, any and all coaches reading this have to keep an eye on this young man. If he falls to a lesser conference, it’ll be at the expense of a G5 program not listening to me. Happens all the time.
Xander Toland Xander Toland 5’10” | 200 lbs | LB Central Dauphin | 2024 State PA has received a ton of love from programs this Fall. Visits to Ithaca, UConn, and Saint Francis just to name a few. Xander Toland Xander Toland 5’10” | 200 lbs | LB Central Dauphin | 2024 State PA is hardly a physical specimen out there at camps. His tape is what is going to draw coaches in more than anything. I’m glad to see some schools recognizing his talent, enough to actually invite him to visits and camps. Some might think Toland is in for an uphill battle when attempting to look good at his less-than-ideal frame. I for one would still circle his name, especially after doing some prior research. Great coaches won’t let him go unnoticed.
