No senior tape out of this 6’5, 265-pound lineman stationed at Neshaminy HS. Still waiting on what he’s looking like this year. That being said, he’s got a 2-minute tape highlighting capabilities dating back to last year. Right tackle capable prospect who has incredible lower body strength, all pancakes come from impressive drive. Very impressed with his ability to absorb speed and power as an anchor in pass protection. His stance, distribution of balance, and awesome hips make him a formidable matchup for kids attempting to rush the passer. Good finisher, great displacement once the whistle is blown, this kid gets off the ball. Hope to see him in person.
A young pass catcher out of State College who already holds an offer from Akron, somehow I missed identifying this young man up until the last couple of weeks. His freshman tape, posted this past November, showcases Coad dominating JV competition. A talent like this, you can’t not have him be involved in all three phases of the game, that he was on JV at SC. Coad does have a Week 0 tape on Hudl, from what I presume is Varsity football against Williamsport. IN said tape are reps at DB and WR. Nothing from what I’ve seen screams FBS yet, but I hear this kid is special.
Alvin Johnson Alvin Johnson OL State PA

Waynesburg has got a jump on this massive Perry lineman. 6’5, 300 pounds, combos as a two-way trench player. 3.0 GPA, Alvin Johnson Alvin Johnson OL State PA received an offer from Waynesburg after a visit back in April, we’ll see if other D3s pull the trigger on this senior. Plugging in the Trinity Area tape from two weeks ago, you can see some of the violence this kid plays with, especially late into reps. Good off the snap, better finisher. Reps against Wheeling Central Catholic show off some quality reps at NG, an obvious position for a kid this big. Excited to see a mid-season tape soon, it would bode well for a potential ranking after the season.
Maddox Bush Maddox Bush OL State PA
Maddox Bush Maddox Bush OL State PA
Another lineman I finally identified in the preseason, writing about him now two weeks into the 2023 Fall season. 6’6, 310 pounds, 4.0 GPA, out of Derry HS, a team that recently broke its long losing streak extending over 20 games. Maddox Bush Maddox Bush OL State PA has a 3-minute junior tape on Hudl, I chose to take a peek into his most recent tape against Greensburg Salem. Bish starts his reps on the right foot, good punch that knocks and displaces defenders. Would love to see him finish, maybe move a bit better, yet this is all from one game’s performance. I’ll have my eye on him moving forward.
Was supposed to see this kid in person, got caught up with outside things. His first game was a memorable one. Aaron Clark Aaron Clark 6’1″ | 180 lbs | ATH Springside Chestnut-Hill | 2026 State PA , the sophomore out of Springside Chestnut Hill recorded four receptions for 105 yards, with a pick tacked onto his offensive production. Love how this young wideout transitions from route-runner to playmaker once the ball gets in his hands. He’s thorough, attentive early, yet can explode out of his hips and churn up turf for YAC. He did so on a hitch that he ended up taking for 40+ yards. Clark got open on a Post, slant, and crosser later, each moving the chains for SCH. This could be a future producer and name to know moving forward.
6’3, 205-pound quarterback prospect out of Liberty HS with a last name I’m all too familiar with. Has a minute-long tape, posted after the Dieruff game, showcasing his skillset when working in a spread offense that incorporates a mesh between Parham and his back. Some highlights out of Parham conveyed an unorthodox style at QB, some throws on the run from awkward angles, some flips here and there. Liberty asked Parham to distribute the football via hand-offs, @TLOS screens, as well as the occasional slant or seam pattern. I’ll be watching him work with each posted Hudl moving forward.
Hunter Hohman Hunter Hohman ATH State PA

I spoke about Gavin Lutz Gavin Lutz 5’11” | 165 lbs | ATH Grove City | 2024 State PA in a previous post earlier today, mentioning his stock rising after a wonderful game against Northwestern. Hunter Hohman Hunter Hohman ATH State PA , a 5’10, 175-pound passer and promising wrestler, put up 400+ yards on the night, as well as a whopping seven scores to his name. 320+ throught the air, 80+ between the tackles. Hohman’s Northwestern tape doesn’t show off each touchdown, it doesn’t need to quite frankly. I do wish the tape held substance, as just one throw was displayed. All stats are from reports by local outlets.
I vowed to better represent State College through pieces and rankings, that’s what I’m doing now by finally identifying Junior quarterback Eddie Corkery Eddie Corkery 6’2″ | 190 lbs | QB State College | 2025 State PA . Corkery stands at 6’1, weighing just under 180 pounds. The kid is now the man behind center, looks like State College isn’t really missing a beat here. Although his second-week performance led to a SC defeat, against a talented DTown East squad I might add, Corkery should come away with positives from this matchup. 23 completions, tossed four scores, passing attempts led to 350+ yards. Incredible accuracy despite being forced out of the pocket on nearly every play on Hudl. Launch point moving doesn’t deter his mechanics, outstanding vision, and awareness. Love how Corkery can hit his targets early or late after reps, showing he can work in clean or sloppy situations. The best quarterbacks can work in both environments. Corkley gives you a taste of everything in this tape, really impressed overall.
Eion Snider Eion Snider QB State PA
Eion Snider Eion Snider QB State PA
Northern Bedford’s man under center is a new name I’d like to add to our ranks. He’s already on D3’s radar, that’ll only continue with performances like the one he put forth last weekend. Three touchdowns, 150 rushing yards, and 120 passing in what was a no-sweat win against Claysburg-Kimmel. The reps with a clean pocket were few and far between, Snider had to improvise a ton, something he clearly excels at. Looking at the film, it looks like Snider might’ve been the largest weapon at NBC’s disposal, with hardly any LBs or DBs to match his size, so Snider was often barrelling through kids who had no chance of slowing him 1v1. I like what I saw.
Cameron McClair Cameron McClair 6'1" | 160 lbs | QB Columbia | 2027 State PA
Cameron McClair Cameron McClair 6'1" | 160 lbs | QB Columbia | 2027 State PA
A freshman cracks this list. Hudl measurables say Cameron McClair Cameron McClair 6’1″ | 160 lbs | QB Columbia | 2027 State PA stands at 6’0, 160 pounds. His play becoming a decisive factor as to why Columbia bested Hanover this past weekend. 220 yards through the air, 40+ on the ground, tack on three scores. Highly productive evening for the Freshman, just the second start of his HS career. Designates himself as a Safety and kicker, impressive if true. Plugging in the tape, you can witness McClair working sets that require him to roll out pretty frequently. He can hit kids and move the chains in this fashion. Keep watching the tape and you’ll see McClair hit kids in stride 40+ yards downfield. The torque and accuracy downfield surprised me, especially considering he’s a freshman. Kicks are on tape as well, impressive prospect.
Caleb Williamson Caleb Williamson 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Williamsport | 2024 State PA
Caleb Williamson Caleb Williamson 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Williamsport | 2024 State PA
Another senior quarterback makes this list, that is Williamsport’s Caleb Williamson Caleb Williamson 6’3″ | 200 lbs | QB Williamsport | 2024 State PA . 6’3, a good-looking 200 pounds. Turning on the Pittston tape, Williamson shows off a nice base that keeps him balanced and tall in the pocket. The big-bodied quarterback will be a threat to power in QB keepers in goal-line situations, he was exactly that this past weekend. Williamson accounted for a score on the ground, one through the air too. Like how the senior takes what’s in front of him. Williamson’s tape shows him working his key defender, hitting his open man in stride while throwing a catachble ball. He may have not thrown for 500+ yards or 5+ TDs, yet his ability to work the offense impressed me just as much as any other QB performance mentioned in this piece.
