One of the most dynamic players in Jersey no one knows about Jaxson Bowman Jaxson Bowman 6'5" | 225 lbs | TE Cherry Hill East | 2025 State NJ is a matchup nightmare. At 6’5 235 pounds Bowman is a do-it-all tight end who is a playmaker for Cherry Hill East. He mainly lines up at wideout and can consistently win by using his big frame to box out smaller players.
In addition, he also has the great ability to win above the rim meeting the football at its highest point. One trait, that stands on tape is he shows to find soft spots in zone coverage to get open and has reliable hands.
Jaxson finished last season with 13 recs and 4 touchdowns. I expect Jackson to shatter those marks and separate himself as one of the best at his position. As a result, Jackson recently received his first Power 5 offer from the University of West Virginia who has recruited tight ends before out Jersey also getting Blair Academy 2023 tight end Will Dixon Will Dixon 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE Blair Academy | 2023 State NJ . In addition, former Uconn Runningbacks coach EJ Berthal went to Nebraska and has strong Jersey ties and offered Jaxson when he was at Uconn. Wouldn’t be a surprise to see a Nebraska offer coming the pipe for Jaxson this summer.
You can’t help but notice what the Snyder coaching staff has done to help their players get recruited. Keyon Thorpe Keyon Thorpe 5'9" | 155 lbs | DB Snyder | 2025 State NJ is the latest Snyder Tiger who getting Division One looks, earning his first Divison One offer from Sacred Heart.
Thorpe is a 5’9 165 pound athlete. He plays running back and free safety and has some impressive movement skills. He has straight-line speed and lateral agility and makes plays with the ball in his hands.
Actually, he would do better to market himself as a do it all playmaker, but with the scarcity of top defensive players across the entire landscape of football. His development at safety is something I’m watching closely and would highly recommend he focus his efforts there to help him get the highly coveted Power 5 offer.
Rotilu will, be a name to know for this upcoming season. At 6’1 165 pound corner with tremendous speed, Omari is an athletic specimen on the field. He has plenty of tape where he is being challenged down the football field and he knows how to use his athletic traits to win those situations. In addition to having great speed, he has good length and leaping ability which allows him to be tough at the catch point. Also does an exceptional job getting his around and locating the football while it’s in the air.
Rotilu received his first Division One offer from Sacred Heart. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg for him, because as he develops his technique along with his physical gifts he will be a Power 5 cornerback come his senior year.
Francis has a chance to make a name for himself as one the top offensive lineman on this Don Bosco front. There’s a lot to like about Francis’ game who is solid in both facets. A do- it- all offensive lineman who’s a solid run blocker on gap and zone concepts with good power and strength. However, he plays a lot higher than he should, and if he corrected that he would make significant improvements as a run blocker.
As a pass blocker, he is simply ok. He has solid punch timing and can win the hands battle. And when he has hands on you the rep usually is over. In addition, as with his run blocking, I would like to him work on his feet and his leverage and continue to improve his blocking in space.
Francis received his first three offers from Sacred Heart, LIU, and Bethune Cookman. If he works on the list that I mentioned a Power 5 offer will be in his future.
This is a name that will be on a lot of Power 5 radars this upcoming season. A 6’5 275 pound versatile athlete who’s extremely raw at the position. He plays offensive line like an athlete so at the moment he blocks in space and on the second level well. And is a solid run blocker. We currently don’t have enough information about how can pass protect. One thing is for sure he has all the athletic traits to be effective and be one the top offensive lineman in his class.
Rodriguez currently has 14 Divison One offers but none that are Power 5 with the way he moves at the position I’m going to bet that will most likely change this upcoming year.
