No.21 OL Brian Moore Brian Moore 6'3" | 265 lbs | OL Imhotep Charter | 2026 State PA | Imhotep Charter | 6-foot-3, 260-pounds
Very good size already for a 2026 prospect and shows quality athleticism as well. Shows a powerful upper body as well as good lower body strength as well. Fundamental are solid as well. Projects very well to a Power Five offensive lineman.
No.22 ATH Samir Crosby Samir Crosby 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Greensburg Central Catholic | 2026 State PA | Greensburg Central Catholic | 5-foot-10, 150-pounds
Very good athlete that does a little bit of everything for Greensburg Central Catholic. Obviously will need to add more weight but as a 2026 prospect, we’re not concerned about that on any level right now. From an on-the-field aspect, he shows very good speed and athleticism, and strong vision as a ball carrier as well. Was a very good wide receiver for Greensburg Central Catholic as a freshman. Recorded 27 receptions for 464 yards and five touchdowns. Power Five upside with an offer from UNLV already. The great upside here thanks to his frame, strong hands, and athleticism.
No.23 ATH John-Patrick Oates John-Patrick Oates 6'3" | 200 lbs | WR LaSalle College | 2026 State PA | LaSalle College | 6-foot-3, 190-pounds
I personally haven’t been able to see a ton of Oates so I unfortunately won’t be able to offer much. But what I’ve been told here is that Oates is a plus athlete with good vision and athleticism. Tough to bring down the ball carrier. At 6-foot-3, he’s already got great size and has a chance to be an elite-sized wide receiver at the next level if he continues to grow.
No.24 ATH Da’Ron Barksdale Da’Ron Barksdale 5'10" | 175 lbs | ATH Steel Valley | 2026 State PA | Steel Valley | 5-foot-11, 175-pounds
Barksdale has already great size and his speed is top-notch as well. His freshman tape is also one of the better ones in the entire class so far. He’s got a real chance to rise quite a bit up our rankings over the next several years.
No.25 DB Daron Harris Daron Harris 6'3" | DB Chester | 2026 State PA | Chester | 6-foot-0
In a post last month, here’s what our own Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA had to say about Harris;
“I project elite athlete Daron Harris Daron Harris 6'3" | DB Chester | 2026 State PA will wow coaches in camp settings this Summer. I feel more confident in that evaluation than any other on this list. We can debate whether Harris should be recruited at DB, or WR, that’s not a concern for me this early on. I know coaches are wanting to see what kind of athlete Daron Harris Daron Harris 6'3" | DB Chester | 2026 State PA is, luckily, I’ve been able to see him work in person on multiple occasions. I can vouch for the overt athleticism this kid possesses. You can expect Harris to provide the flare, the ohs-and-ahs at camps this Summer. Don’t be surprised to hear his name all summer long.”
No.26 OL Zakee Wiggins Zakee Wiggins 6'2" | 270 lbs | OL Imhotep Charter | 2026 State PA | Northeast | 6-foot-2, 270-pounds
Don’t mind Wiggins being slightly undersized height-wise, he should gain a much-needed extra inch or two over the next few years. The fundamentals are there for Wiggins, the quick feet are there and so is his lower body strength. He showed the ability to be a wrecking ball in the middle of the offensive line for Northeast as a freshman.
No.27 WR Yalik Carter Yalik Carter 6'0" | 175 lbs | WR Eagles Landing | 2026 GA | Eagles Landing* | 6-foot-0, 175-pounds
Carter isn’t technically in Pennsylvania just yet, hence the asterisk but will be before the start of next season. A good-sized wide receiver who already has an offer from Boston College. Showed the ability to produce against great talent down in Georgia.
No.28 QB Gavin Sidwar Gavin Sidwar 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB LaSalle College | 2026 State PA | LaSalle College | 6-foot-3, 170-pounds
Sidwar is a quarterback prospect who is probably going to vault his way up by quite a bit next rankings update. He’s having a great 7-on-7 season to build off a very good freshman season for LaSalle. He shows an accurate and strong arm with the ability to thread the needle. Also has elite size already.
No.29 QB Matt Sieg Matt Sieg 6'0" | 175 lbs | ATH Fort Cherry | 2026 State PA | Fort Cherry |
The do-it-all quarterback for Fort Cherry is one of my favorite prospects in the entire 2026 recruiting class. He’s a top-end athlete who also plays baseball where you can find him in center field or short step – where you usually put your best athletes at the high school level. The dual-threat quarterback showed quality accuracy (57.3%) last season as well as the speed and athleticism to get it done on the ground.
No.30 ATH Colsen Gatten | Pittsburgh Central Catholic | 6-foot-1, 170-pounds
Good athlete who showed potential at both tight-end and linebacker. High football IQ and quick read-and-reaction skills. Projects right now to be
a linebacker at the next level.
