The two-way standout is a reported 6-foot-4 and 200-pounds but perhaps the most intriguing number for Criswell is a reported 4.62 forty-yard dash. A stand up rusher off the edge, Crisswell will need to play with more bend going forward, getting by with mostly his size and strength currently. He does show good athleticism with the ability to chase down ball carriers from behind and shows a strong motor. As a tight end, Crisswell presents a nice big target and has consistent hands. Shows good vision as a runner and is tough to bring down. Appears to be much more of a natural tight end than a defensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 LB Trevon Bair</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Height: 5'10</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Weight: 200</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/20733604/Trevon-Bair/highlights">HUDL</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/Trevonbair52">Twitter</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>GPA: 3.8</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 2027 linebacker is a fun watch on film for being such a young player. He's got a natural feel for the position and is a fundamentally sound and physical linebacker. He plays well above his grade level. He was super productive as well for playing varsity as a freshman, totaling 68 tackles including nine tackles for loss and two sacks in seven games. Really excited to learn more about Bair over the next few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Marian Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 OL [player_tooltip player_id='1325983' first='Aidan' last='Milkovits']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Height: 6'0</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Weight: 260</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16201641/Aidan-Milkovits/about">HUDL</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/aidanmilkovits">Twitter</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>GPA: 3.9</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Milkovits might be a bit undersized in terms of his height at 6-foot-0 but he's still a really good and solid football player for Marian Catholic on both sides of the ball. He plays center for Marian where his size is a really good fit and he's shows good football IQ as a center but is also a good run blocker for Marian Catholic, using his leverage well and able to move defenders backwards on a consistent basis. Shows overall good strength on the field and shows it off the field as well including a 500-pound squat.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Mahanoy Area</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 RB Kyler Quick</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Height: 5'11 </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Weight: 180</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15134373/kyler-quick/about">HUDL</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/kquick32">Twitter</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized running back, Quick is an upright runner who uses his size and strength to power through opposing defenders. That being said, the 5-foot-11 tailback also has a nice bit of speed and explosiveness in his game as well even if he doesn't get to show it off consistently. This season, he rushed for 633 yards and six touchdowns on 107 carries. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Nativity BVM</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 RB Samuel Spolski</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Height: 5'10</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Weight: 185</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16185361/65ab1ceed468ac179c981b25">HUDL</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/SamuelSpolski">Twitter</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>GPA: 4.2</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good sized running back who may project to a fullback more so at the next level. Spolski is a standout at both running back and linebacker for Nativity BVM. Shows quality athleticism as well as the ability to be a pass catcher out of the backfield. Good vision at identifying open holes to run through, can run both between the tackles and to the outside quite successfully. Good football IQ as a linebacker with good read-and-reaction skills and a high motor.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tri-Valley</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 RB [player_tooltip player_id='1352737' first='Cole' last='Gemberling']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Height: 5'10 </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Weight: 185</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17912975/6543b895ff01bd053c193d51">HUDL</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/gemberling_cole">Twitter</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>GPA: 4.0</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 tailback has nice size and if the number is accurate, very good speed to go along with it, with a reported 4.6 forty-yard dash.
