Jaleel Brown, Ath, 2024 – Jaleel is a great defensive football player at Strong Safety. He plays down over #2 and deep; equally well. His athleticism is off the charts with good quickness and twitch. He is patient in his backpedal and reads plays well. He takes on blocks with good lockout and leverage. He makes tough tackles look easy with aggression. He plays the ball well in the air and competes. He has the ability to score once he gets his hands on the ball. I am excited to see his season.
Max Lyall, QB, 2025 – Max is poised to breakout this season. He has a really live arm to go along with the size and strength to be a big time player. This past season’s stats were off the charts. He throws the ball with great zip and accuracy. His RPO reads are sound and he makes the correct throws. He can push the ball down the field to the correct shoulder. He can throw from the opposite hash deep down the field. He is a good runner with elusiveness. Looking forward to seeing his progress.
Chris Gargasz Chris Gargasz 6'2" | 230 lbs | DL Tri Valley | 2025 State OH , OL/DL, 2025 – Chris is a rising star in the trenches. He stands 6’2 and weighs 230 already. He is very coiled in his stance and gets after it once the ball is snapped. His motor never stops and is relentless in the run and pass game. He gets to lockout quickly with a flat back. He maintains great gap integrity ripping off the ball. He is quick on ball away down the LOS. He has a developed pass rush with great bend back to the QB. Keep a good eye on him.
Bishop Hartley
Donovan Davis, OL/DL, 2024 – Donovan is a great football player with the entire IVY League after him. He carries a 3.8 GPA and is a leader. At DL he reminds me of Aaron Donald. He comes off the snap really fast and gets to lockout with a really powerful punch. He is very strong and rips off quickly. He hammers ball carriers in his gaps. He can run sideline to sideline on outside run. His pass rush is relentless and he dominates the Guards and Centers he faces. He isn’t afraid to make hard hits and makes his presence known at the QB. At OL he plays Guard and dominates there as well. He has great technique, a powerful punch and lift, and always keeps his feet moving through the whistle. Looking forward to seeing him play this season.
Rory Ralston, LB, 2024 – Rory is fun to watch on film. He is a ball hawk and had some great interceptions and caused fumbles this year. He is patient inside the box and runs over the top with speed on outside run. He escapes blocks with good lockout and knock off. He is a great tackler and drives his feet and hips through the ball carriers. He is a good blitzer and can read on the run. He is a relentless pass rusher and gets to the QB quickly. His drops are quick and he has great eye discipline. Looking forward to seeing his development this off season.
