Top Five Prospects, According to PRZPA Rankings
The 19th best two-way prospect in the state, the number one ATH is currently headed to play Division 2 football. Hamburg’s Mason Semmel Mason Semmel 6’3″ | 210 lbs | ATH Hamburg | 2024 State PA is close, the Hamburg senior serving as the second-highest-rated two-way player playing PSAC football. Perry is the crown of the recruiting class. A prospect who once received real Division One interest, as high as Group of Five. Likely to play DB, likely to have his hand somewhere on defense.
Below is a recent eval out of Pat Weiderrn
Arguably the steal of NSD among PSAC recruiting classes. A top ten linebacker in my book, Imhotep’s Raheem Reid Raheem Reid 6’2″ | 220 lbs | LB Imhotep Charter | 2024 State PA currently stands as the highest-ranking LB scheduled to play Division 2 football. Always viewed him as a lock for FCS football, yet he “falls” to a revamped group likely to make the most out of his talents. I’d bet on Reid becoming a real difference-maker two-three years down the line, maybe even earlier.rn
Evaluation
A young man who has dominated PRZPA camps for years. A young man who has flirted with top five wideout positioning in the past. Durrell Ceasar Durrell Ceasar 6’1″ | 180 lbs | WR Steelton-Highspire | 2024 State PA , a Steelton record-holder for years to come. A kid who earned a PWO out of Penn State, Ceasar has chosen to suit up for Lock Haven University in what might be one of the bigger steals after seeing all of the signees make their future intentions known yesterday. ESU’s Nymeir Appling Nymeir Appling 6’2″ | 185 lbs | WR Father Judge | 2024 State PA is the lone wideout to outrank him headed to play D2 football currently. The LHU staff has to be elated, smiles must be ear-to-ear after bringing this young man in.rn
Highlights
I’m sounding like a broken record at this point. Eugene Green Eugene Green 6’3″ | 200 lbs | DL Steelton-Highspire | 2024 State PA , the third Steelton High prospect on this list, stands as the highest-ranking DL to declare for Division 2 football. Green outpaces McKeesport’s Dunn by three spots, Dunn is headed to California UoPA. Highly sought after by many rivals in the PSAC, even garnered real FCS interest as well. Huge pull by LHU.
Last but not least is Cheltenham’s Zaire Williams Zaire Williams 5’9″ | 170 lbs | ATH Cheltenham | 2024 State PA . Pairing Williams with Ceasar is a nasty combo I’m excited to see work in the future. Like Ceasar, Williams to has flirted with Top 100 recognition. The speedster was once ranked inside the Top 100, dating back two years to the date. Zaire Williams Zaire Williams 5’9″ | 170 lbs | ATH Cheltenham | 2024 State PA currently stands as the third highest-ranking ATH scheduled to play D2 ball, behind previously mentioned Perry and Mason Semmel Mason Semmel 6’3″ | 210 lbs | ATH Hamburg | 2024 State PA .rn
