Ethan Cohall’s exceptional impact on Bergen Catholic’s defense earns him the title of the hardest hitter. Standing out as a safety, his ability to not only play the run effectively but deliver forceful tackles in the box sets him apart. Cohall’s low and explosive playing style, coupled with coverage skills and ball production, solidifies his reputation as a defensive force. As he enters his senior year, his continued growth is anticipated. Despite holding only one offer from LIU, Cohal’s hard-hitting prowess is gaining recognition.
BEST ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL
DJ McClary’s versatility shines as he claims the title of the best on both sides of the football. Excelling as a linebacker and safety at 6’2 210, he displays aggression, explosiveness, and coverage skills. McClary’s additional talent as a wildcat quarterback, characterized by his physical running style, agility, and explosiveness, adds to his overall prowess and his unquestioned commitment to being whatever the Snyder Tigers need for them to win. As a standout defensive prospect in the 2025 class, his trajectory is promising, with the potential for further impact as he adds weight to his already robust frame. Committed to Penn State, McClary is poised to become one of their future great linebackers.
MOST SPECIAL MOVER
Kamar Archie stands out as the most special mover in the 2025 class, showcasing exceptional speed, acceleration, explosiveness, and sideline-to-sideline movement. His unique ability to move differently on the field sets him apart, and this special quality is evident not only in his overall athleticism but also when he carries the ball as a running back and he carries in the open field. Out of all the player in the 2025 class only Lotzeir Brooks Lotzeir Brooks 5’11” | 170 lbs | WR Millville | 2025 State NJ compares to him when it comes to special movement ability At 6’2” and 200 pounds, Archie has garnered Division 1 offers from esteemed programs like Tennessee, Alabama, and USC, highlighting his impact and recognition in the football landscape. His outstanding character further solidifies him as a standout prospect in the 2025 class.
Most Likely To Come Out Of Nowhere
Camryn Thomas emerges as the most likely to come out of nowhere in the upcoming season. While not widely recognized at the moment, those familiar with Tom’s River North express high expectations for him. Standing at 5’11” and weighing 160 pounds, Thomas has shown glimpses of his potential with notable plays, particularly a spectacular catch against Red Bank Catholic. As he continues his development, hitting the weights hard during the offseason, Thomas could become a player to watch, making a significant impact and garnering attention in the football scene.
BEST PLAYER YOU NEVER HEARD OF
Al’khabir Bethune stands out as one of the most complete wide receivers in New Jersey’s 2025 class, possessing impressive skills at 6’3” and 190 pounds. Despite once being recognized as a top 30 national prospect, a lack of exposure at national camps has somewhat dimmed his spotlight. Bethune’s versatility allows him to line up both outside and in the slot, excelling in contested catch situations. To further elevate his game, improvement in route running and elusiveness after the catch is crucial. Notably, his proficiency extends to playing cornerback, showcasing solid ball production and the ability to break on the football. Bethune earns the title of the best player you’ve never heard of, emphasizing his impactful potential on both sides of the ball as a wide receiver and cornerback.
