Top 25 Players in New York

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a fun one; regardless of their graduating class, who are the top 25 players in New York? Well, I put together a list of the top players and just a little acknowledgment that this is my list is important. This is my opinion on the top 25, and anyone is more than welcome to debate it or release their own. However, there has not been a time when there is this much talent in New York, and I think it is fair to showcase how well the state is doing in terms of building its reputation for having quality recruits, which takes years to do. <br><br>What are there criteria? Well, its equal parts film evaluation and recruiting offers and interest with a little bit of natural advantage to the 2024s, who have more film and more opportunity to get recruited with their age. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I do not want this to drag on so only some players will get their own analysis and others will be grouped. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["284082"],"_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":"#1 is probably the most difficult spot for some to judge.

Formerly listed as a DB, he is one of those S/LB hybrids and does a lot of work around the LOS. Because colleges are so good at adding weight to kids, I think he is the 5th DB on the field for most teams where he plays in the box or even could play LB in a 3-3-5 or 3-4/4-3 base system if any college out there still runs it. Vanterpool has a nose for the ball and when I saw him play was one of the best players on the field amongst a talented group when Moore Catholic played Holy Trinity in the CHSFL AA1 Final this past fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">BONUS 30 (Including the C/O 2023)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1 [player_tooltip player_id='284082' first='Preston' last='Carey'], St. Anthony's 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2 [player_tooltip player_id='120010' first='Korey' last='Duff Jr'], St. Anthony's 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>3 [player_tooltip player_id='241147' first='Caden' last='Brown'], Erasmus Hall 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>4 [player_tooltip player_id='521455' first='Marcus' last='Harrison'], St. Francis 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5 [player_tooltip player_id='286675' first='Rowan' last='Byrne'], Iona Prep 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6 [player_tooltip player_id='241877' first='Dante' last='Torres'], St. Anthony's 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>7 [player_tooltip player_id='229890' first='Dillan' last='Fontus'], Canarsie 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>8 [player_tooltip player_id='233599' first='Ajani' last='Sheppard'], Iona Prep 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9 [player_tooltip player_id='231157' first='Ian' last='Strong'], St. Anthony's 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10 [player_tooltip player_id='241127' first='Josiah' last='Brown'], Holy Trinity 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>11 [player_tooltip player_id='229895' first='Tayvon' last='Nelson'], Canarsie 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>12 [player_tooltip player_id='277897' first='Samuel' last='Madu'], Archbishop Stepinac 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>13 [player_tooltip player_id='241143' first='Aaris' last='Bethea'], Erasmus Hall 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>14 [player_tooltip player_id='444366' first='Colin' last='Cubberly'], Arlington 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>15 [player_tooltip player_id='232912' first='Zyian' last='Moultrie-Goddard'], Iona Prep 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>16 [player_tooltip player_id='450487' first='Jaylin' last='Hicks'], Iona Prep 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>17 [player_tooltip player_id='410677' first='De'Mari' last='Clemons'], Bennett 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>18 [player_tooltip player_id='366607' first='Rashard' last='Perry'], Bennett 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>19 [player_tooltip player_id='434415' first='Blake' last='Belin'], Cardinal Hayes 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>20 [player_tooltip player_id='505386' first='Lyrick' last='Samuel'], Erasmus Hall 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>21 [player_tooltip player_id='303870' first='Syair' last='Torrence'], CBA-Syracuse 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>22 [player_tooltip player_id='451483' first='Ja'Meer' last='Thomas'], Bennett 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>23 [player_tooltip player_id='343476' first='David' last='Clement'], CBA-Albany 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>24 [player_tooltip player_id='436159' first='Deondre' last='Johnson'], Newburgh 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>25 [player_tooltip player_id='402273' first='Tyshawn' last='Bent'], Tottenville 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>26 [player_tooltip player_id='505856' first='Messiah' last='Hampton'], Monroe 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>27 [player_tooltip player_id='390762' first='Jahyden' last='Clark'], Canisius 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>28 [player_tooltip player_id='606298' first='Rich' last='Belin'], Cardinal Hayes 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>29 [player_tooltip player_id='367395' first='Jayden' last='Lewis'], Bennett 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>30 [player_tooltip player_id='233606' first='Jean' last='Louis III'], Canarsie 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
