2023 Pass Rusher of the Year Watchlist

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Through 4 weeks of games there has already been tremendous output across the board by numerous players within the state. Below are a way-to-early list of pass rushers who are in contention for the state's pass rushers of the year. With so many to pick from, I only limited myself to select five to highlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["999499"],"_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":"One game can change the total impression of the season. This might be the case of Marlboro's Consalazio. Across three games played, Consalazio has accrued 22 tackles on the season, 15 of which are solo stops, 8 tackles for loss, and 7 sacks. This output is highlighted by a 10 tackle, 6 sack performance at Howell. Consalazio is also a rotational player on offense, having slashed 4/97/1 on the ground and 3/14/1 as a pass catcher.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650da31fe8c50"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["993119"],"_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":"A team that I knew little about going into the season was Rancocas Valley. However, after a hot start they are a team I think u003cemu003eeveryone u003c/emu003eis familar with. Defensively the Red Devils have been led by the standout play of Handberry. Handberry has recoreded at least one sack in each of this team's four games on the season; however, his underlying stats show that he is more than a one-dimensional, pass rushing player. Handberry has 36 tackles on the season, with 14 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and 6 total sacks.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650da31fe8cb6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["971272"],"_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":"Despite Ewing's 1-3 record Baker has had himself a tremendous start to the season.

Jackson is one Rambler who is taking the issue with last season personally. On a total warpath this season, Jackson, an edge-type linebacker, has made 28 tackles with 18 being of the solo variety. However, Jackson's impact is in his propensity to make big plays. Aside from sacking the quarterback 5 times, Jackson has 12 tackles for loss, forced a fumble, and recovered 3 fumbles.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650da31fe8d5c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1007785"],"_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":"With a one-up, one-down type of season, the defense of Parsippany Hills has been anchored by the play of Collins, their senior defensive lineman. From his defensive end spot, Collins has made 26 tackles with one tackle for loss. Big plays, however, have been his signature as he has made 5 sacks as well as forcing and recovering two fumbles each.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650da31fe8dac"} /-->
