New York Recruiting Report Pt. IV

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The fourth installment of this series, where we do a rundown of who has been offered recently in the state of New York. It was a couple of weeks for guys who have already had a strong winter/spring, while a couple got their recruitment kickstarted again after a strong level of interest as freshmen/sophomores. We also have a couple of catholic league guys who pick up their first offer, so a big congratulations to those guys who both have some really solid potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["342711"],"_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='342711' first='Matthias' last='Lighten'], a top ATH in the entire state regardless of class had a strong past couple weeks with offers from Buffalo and Stony Brook to bring him to 7 DI offers.

Edwards, one of the top cover cornerbacks in New York picked up some offers from LIU and Monmouth.
