Continue ReadingColgan has some 2026 class members that are sure to be college bound, linebacker LJ Richards LJ Richards 6’1″ | 195 lbs | LB Colgan | 2026 State VA is one of them. He is all over the field and was all conference as just a sophomore for the Sharks here is what I said about him earlier in the season:
If you have been following my coverage this fall you should know I am very high up on the culture Head Coach Reggie Scott is building over at Colgan and another reason why is studs like LJ Richards LJ Richards 6’1″ | 195 lbs | LB Colgan | 2026 State VA returning next year. Richards has been on a terror at his linebacker position for the Sharks, notching double digits solo tackles the past two games, this young man has a chance to be special. Only a sophomore he is one of the team leaders in tackles and is still growing into his body at 6’1 and 200 lbs.. For the entire state of Virginia this is a name you will not forget for the class of 2026.https://x.com/LJRichards21/status/1718706365521129975?s=20
Highlights
Harris is a FBS level bound talent for the Flint Hill Huskies already picking up several division 1 offers. He is an electric game changer who should be in position for more opportunities offensively next fall with the graduation of many senior playmakers. Whether it is at running back, receiver, in the slot or on punt returns, the young man is dynamic with the football in his hands.

Highlights
The Stallions had another deep playoff run as it comes expected in Lorton at this point. To get back for a possible title run next year, the continued excellent play of guys like Hunter Malecki Hunter Malecki 6’3″ | 250 lbs | DL South County | 2025 State VA will certainly help. Malecki is a 6’3 defensive end with great speed off the edge when he tallied 9 sacks last fall. He is a pure pain to block as he not only has top notch speed but he is one of the stronger lineman in the county and if he gets his arms extended on you, look out.

Amir Baadani
Amir Baadani
Not a lot went right for the Oakton Cougars in 2023, but they may have found their quarterback in senior to be Amir Baadani. He is a good athlete back under center and is not afraid to stand tall in the pocket and take a hit. He is very good in the short and intermediate passing game and he reads the field quite well, he doesn’t lock down on one just one target. With a good off-season of development in his deep ball and learning the system, no reason not to believe he cant play at the next level.

Sahir Mantri
Sahir Mantri
Very impressed with Mantri’s tape and his overall performance during his sophomore campaign for the Chantilly Chargers. He is a speedy threat and runs the Chargers offense very crisp and thorough does not seem to make many bad reads. The way he reads the defense pre-snap you can see his ridiculous 4.2 GPA burst out onto the field, he is very detailed oriented. You have to feel good about Chantilly taking the next steps this coming year with Mantri under center, he looks like the real deal.
