Some are division one guys right now, while others are talented youngsters that are still developing. Each one should be on college coaches’ radars back in the United States. I will most certainly be keeping an eye on them this season and beyond as they continue their high school careers. The best is yet to come from these big boys.
As always, If you have someone you think I need to see, please DM them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout!
DT: Royce Adeniken Royce Adeniken 6'2" | 290 lbs | DL Williston Northhampton | 2025 New E , 6’3″ 280, Alberta
A three-technique with well-trained hands, outstanding body control, and an aggressive demeanor. Royce plays with a wide base, he has an effective push-pull move that catches offensive linemen lunging and he displayed impressive quickness off the snap. He’ll finish his high school ball at Immaculata LaSalle in Florida.
EDGE: Matisse Brosseau, 6’3″ 225, Quebec
A highly productive prospect that totaled 10 sacks and 20 TFLs as a sophomore. This young man fires off the ball like a banshee, he strikes on a rise and has a knack for swatting at the football & forcing fumbles. His speed gives opposing tackles problems on twists, he plays with compact hands and he can unlock his hips & run the hoop. I think he’s a division one type kid at the next level as a stand-up edge and I’d be shocked if the offers didn’t come soon.
DE: Jayden Arenas Michel, 6’4″ 240, N/A
Jayden’s strength overwhelms blockers at the point of attack, he batters pass blockers using a club technique and he’s got a fiery motor that’s always running. He can dip & rip out of his stance, he can corral ball carriers out of awkward body positions and he’s got a raw, but potent bull rush. He runs a 4.96 40-yard dash time and already holds an offer to Boston College.
OL: Jonah Edghill, 6’2″ 240, Quebec
I love the attitude and effort that this young man plays with on film. Jonah looks to finish every block he makes, he can vertically displace down linemen on his own and he’s got a ton of raw upper-body strength to work with. He needs to continue to develop his technique as a pass protector, but there’s a lot to like about this young man at an early age.
