Continue ReadingWe are headed into the mid-season of the fall 2023 season. This is a great time to preview recruits brought to our attention from our last rankings update and early fall breakout consistent performances that should be noted. We project these recruits will see an increase of recruitment activity during or following their 2023 fall season and likely into the spring 2024 evaluation period. These recruits have all been recently ranked in our class of 2025 in the top 100 in the New England Region.

C/O 25′ TE 6’6 240lb @ St. Thomas More HC: @Coach_Ander5on #860-960-7818
He is known for the length he displays in his frame. Standing 6’6′ at 245lbs with an 80-inch wing span is why. He also has a very physical presence and knows how to get YAC while unloading power in any defender who attempts to tackle him. We have ranked him as our # 2 Tight-end in the New England region.

He is ranked as our #3 Tight end in the class of 2025 in New England. He is another tight-end known for his above-average length in his frame. He runs fluidly, productive, and efficient routes. Has a high level of balance and body control that gives him qualities that simulate a wide receiver’s skill set in running routes. His size alone is a mismatch nightmare for many defensive backs. He announced an offer from Columbia University in Sept 2023. HUDL PROFILE

He has had a busy fall, attending a few college games he has been invited to attend. A few of those schools we know are Harvard and Umass. We are projecting that a strong junior season will increase his college interest. His measurables align him with fitting the profile of an FBS Group of 5/and or High FCS Offensive lineman. He should have a solid grip on what schools are interested in his skill set before spring 2024. HUDL PROFILE

He attended a camp we held in Boston, Ma, back in April 2023. I observed him move fairly well during individual drills at the camp. His performance easily caught my attention. Flashing up to September 2023, he visited the Boston College campus to take in a game back on Sept 1, 2023. This was an invite to a game opportunity for him. Based on scout observations from spring and summer, he was ranked in September 2023 as our #14 offensive lineman in the class of 2025 in New England. His measurables currently align with an FBS Group of 5 and /or High FCS Offensive Line projection at the next level. Should see recruiting activity increase by spring 2024. HUDL PROFILE
