Josiah Wright Josiah Wright 6'2" | 265 lbs | TE Lebanon | 2024 State PA Lebanon. Wright played defensive end for Lebanon last year. Wright is a dominant defensive lineman who is a disruptive player. He is difficult to block one-on-one. He shows good strength and uses it well to push the offensive lineman back into the backfield. Wright shows good athleticism by chasing plays all over the field. Wright has a motor that never stops and he is constantly making plays all over the field. He recently picked up an offer from Misericordia University, and I expect more to come his way.
Amani Bones Amani Bones 5'10" | 190 lbs | ATH William Penn (York) | 2026 State PA York High. Bones is projected to be the starting running back this year for York High. Bones will have the benefit of running behind a very good offensive line. That should help him settle in and have a good year. He also has a good skill set and good quickness in the hole. He also has good speed and can run past defenders in the open field. I expect Bones will be a name everyone will know very soon.
Tommy Hunsicker Tommy Hunsicker QB Wilson | 2024 State PA Wilson. Hunsicker was Wilson’s starting quarterback last year. I was at his 1st start when he made three 3 interceptions against Roman Catholic. He rebounded after that game to have a solid season. He capped it off by playing his best game against Harrisburg in the playoffs even though it ended in a defeat. Hunsicker going into his 2nd year as a starter is a huge advantage for him. He has had an entire off-season to get better. I am expecting a big jump from him. His film is good as he can make all the throws. Several Colleges have talked to him about playing baseball and football in the future.
Edison Case Edison Case 6'3" | WR Wilson | 2024 State PA Wilson. Case played wide receiver last year. I flipped on his film and his 1st 2 routes were touchdown catches against Harrisburg. In the 1st touchdown, he ran a post route from his outside receiver position. He ran a good route and made a great contested catch against the Harrisburg safety. The second touchdown was equally impressive. He ran an inside release on a seam route. He caught the ball inside the 10-yard line and then broke a tackle to score a touchdown. Case has great size standing 6’3″ inches tall. I am expecting Case will have a strong year for Wilson this year. He recently picked up an offer from Hamilton College.
Highlights
Brandon Way Jr. Brandon Way Jr. 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Lancaster Catholic | 2026 State PA Lancaster Catholic. Way started at cornerback last year for Lancaster Catholic as a Freshman. This year he is projected to play cornerback and play running back and slot receiver for Catholic. Way should be a bigger contributor on offense for the Crusaders. He has the skill set to play both running back and slot receiver. He can catch the ball well and does a nice job of making people miss in the open field. I expect we will see Way stuff the stat sheet on both sides of the bill for Catholic this year.
