Continue ReadingThe Garden State has plenty of tremendous athletes at multiple positions in the class of 2028. Theres no shortage of talent on the offensive side and defensive side of the ball on this list. Here are some New Jersey prospects to look out for in the 2028 class.
Leading us off is Dillon Adams the 6’0” Wide receiver who plays for ASG (Air Sports Group). The North Plainfield native plays all over the field for ASG and is a big threat for jump balls as he’s a lengthy receiver that can run routes and is great at getting separation. Dillon also plays safety and is not afraid of contact and can come down and make plays on the ball. Being a multi-sport athlete Dillon runs a 11.00 100 meter dash time in track as a 14 year old and it shows on the football field.
Highlights
The next prospect on my list is another multi-sport athlete in Linebacker Johnny Chirico Johnny Chirico 5’6″ | 155 lbs | RB NJ out of Washington Township. Johnny is a hard hitting Linebacker but is seen playing running back in some of the clips I watched. This prospect shows power, strength, and speed on both sides of the ball whether it’s tracking down a running back for a tackle in the backfield or punching it in for a score in the red zone. His ability to get yards after contact in the most recent film I watched vs the Marlton Chiefs, shows his ability to break tackles and shows just how strong he is compared to his opponents. Chirico is also a stud wrestler which shows in his physicality on the field.
Highlights
Cusimano is a tough nose safety who isn’t afraid to come down and make a big hit on a ball carrier. The height advantage shows for him on the offensive side of the ball when in jump ball situations and it doesn’t matter if he’s doubled covered he’ll go up and get it. I was impressed with plays he made lining up in the camp and 7v7 circuit a year ago. Not only does he make big plays versus local competition but he excels when playing against top players in the state and country. Cusimano is not afraid of competition and can be a big threat on both sides of the ball at the high school level in the next few years.
Highlights
Now onto Zack Karelis a Quarterback and 3 sport athlete from Summit with a great arm in deep pass scenarios. The 5’8′ Pro Style Quarterback impressed me a lot with his ability to lead his receivers downfield while throwing the deep ball as well as throwing on the run in tight windows on out routes. His film shows his ability to throw both inside and out of the pocket very well for a 2028 Quarterback. Karelis has great vision and is poised in the pocket and in pressured situations. He can get it done by doing the little things right but isn’t afraid to make big plays when he has to. He also plays with the ASG, making the connection with Dillon Adams Dillon Adams 6’0″ | 140 lbs | WR NJ , a dangerous one.
Highlights
The next prospect on my list is a lengthy receiver from West Orange in Evian Mishoe Evian Mishoe 6’1″ | 155 lbs | WR NJ . The 6’1 receiver uses his size to his advantage in every clip I’ve watched of him. In a clip I watched Mishoe is seen breaking four plus tackles. Mishoe’s physicality at receiver sets him up to turn the quick game into big plays. Another multi sport athlete Mishoe competes in basketball, wrestling and track making him a well rounded athlete. He also spends a lot of time training and perfecting his craft as seen on his twitter page to better prepare him for the long run. Definitely going to be a big threat to defenses as he continues to put in the work and perfect his craft.
Being a playmaker is something coaches at any level love to have on their team. In every highlight I’ve watched of Hakim Theresa Jr. Hakim Theresa Jr. 5’7″ | 140 lbs | RB NJ he’s shown me just that. Whether it’s taking it to the house or picking the ball off this prospect makes plays all over the field. His ability to make defenders miss and find holes and use his speed to have a big run impressed me a lot when watching his film. Another prospect that can be a threat on both sides of the ball at the next level.
