Some of these guys pick up their first D1 offer, while some continue to add to in some cases a very deep repertoire of offers. Either way these guys are getting some recognition from schools and in some cases is just the beginning of their recruiting journey.
Ja’Meer Thomas Ja’Meer Thomas 5’10” | 170 lbs | WR Bennett | 2024 State NY , one of the most underrated athletes in New York picked up his second division one offer from Maine this past week. Thomas now has offers from Maine and Akron and I would expect that to be just the start for one of the fastest playmakers in the state.
Highlights
Blake Belin Blake Belin 6’2″ | 270 lbs | DL Cardinal Hayes | 2025 State NY keeps his FBS offers up with another opportunity from West Virginia. Belin now has offers from Syracuse, Minnesota, Jackson State, West Virginia, UConn, and Temple. Several D1 opportunities so far for Belin, a top DL in New York regardless of class.
Alex Chrostowski Alex Chrostowski 6’6″ | 270 lbs | OL Bronxville | 2024 State NY picked up his second offer from New Hampshire, Chrostowski is one of the top tackle prospects in New York and standing 6’6 there is no surprise colleges are interested. Chrostowski has an offer from UConn from last May and has visited several programs over the past few months.
Deonté Douglas Deonté Douglas 6’0″ | 185 lbs | DB Archbishop Stepinac | 2024 State NY continues to add to his FCS arsenal of offers, New Hampshire is the latest to jump in offering the top safety prospect in 2023. Douglas now has offers from Rhode Island, LIU, Sacred Heart, and New Hampshire and I think that list will continue to grow before the fall season starts.
Highlights
Bowling Green was the first to jump in and offer Jayden Wright Jayden Wright 6’0″ | 165 lbs | WR Curtis | 2024 State NY who is one of the top returning playmakers to the PSAL. Wright has elite speed and is a game changer with the ball so this offer comes to no surprise to those who know about the talent in the PSAL. Bowling Green kicks off the recruiting journey for Wright.
Matthias Lighten Matthias Lighten 6’0″ | 180 lbs | ATH Moore Catholic | 2024 State NY picked up a couple offers this past week from two programs already doing work in New York this week. Lighten picked up two more offers from Maine and Bowling Green to add to a deep collection of offers that continues to grow through the spring.
Highlights
Rowan Byrne Rowan Byrne 6’5″ | 290 lbs | OL Iona Prep | 2025 State NY , the #1 player in the class of 2025 landed an offer from Temple then a huge offer from Wisconsin which is one of the most sought after offers for offensive lineman around the country. Byrne continues to build a strong FBS profile of offers and is quickly becoming a top national recruit.
Highlights
Jordan Osbourne Jordan Osbourne 6’1″ | 205 lbs | RB Archbishop Stepinac | 2024 State NY picked up his first two offers not very long ago but he just got his third offer from Wagner, giving him both multiple offers from NYC FCS schools. Osbourne has been one of the hottest names in New York over the past couple weeks.
Highlights
Aqil Meredith-Smith Aqil Meredith-Smith 6’4″ | 285 lbs | OL Moore Catholic | 2024 State NY who is one of Moore Catholics best returning players had a really strong performance at the Elite V showcase and continues his offseason success with an offer from Bowling Green. Meredith-Smith is a powerful blocker with really solid athleticism and will easily become one of the top interior lineman in New York.
Highlights
Syair Torrence Syair Torrence 5’11” | 195 lbs | ATH CBA-Syracue | 2024 State NY who recently just opened up his commitment picked up an offer from Rutgers which now adds to his D1 collection of Memphis, Syracuse, Rutgers, Michigan State, and Buffalo. One of the top playmakers from the state is receiving some solid Big 10, ACC interest.
