Prospect Deep Dive: Colonial-Schuylkill (Gold – Part 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We continue to look at prospects within the Colonial-Schuylkill conference trying to find hidden gems. Last time out, we took a look at Northwestern Lehigh, Southern Lehigh, Blue Mountain, and Bangor, all part of the Gold Division. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/02/prospect-deep-dive-colonial-schuylkill-gold-part-1/"><strong>Gold Part 1 (Northwestern Lehigh, Southern Lehigh, Blue Mountain, and Bangor)</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we move our attention to the second part of the Gold Division with Saucon Valley, Pottsville, Lehighton, and Wilson Area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>POSTING SCHEDULE</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Feb 17: </strong>Williams Valley, Marian Catholic, Mahanoy Area, Nativity BVM, Tri-Valley, Shenandoah Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Feb 19: </strong>Palmerton, North Schuylkill, Notre Dame-Green pond, Tamaqua</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Feb 21: </strong>Jim Thorpe, Northern High, Pine Grove, Salisbury Township</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Feb 23: </strong>Schuylkill Haven, Minersville, Pen Argyl, Catasaqua, Palisades, Panther Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Feb 25: </strong>Honorable Mentions</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Saucon Valley</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jared Rohn (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Saucon Valley athlete plays running back and linebacker for Saucon Valley. Also a wrestler, Rohn is a good athlete with quality speed and shows both strong upper and lower body strength as one would expect from a football/wrestler dual-sport athlete. Rohn performed well on both sides of the field in 2023 with 794 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on offense while also totaling 110 tackles on the defensive side of the ball including six tackles for loss. I personally think his best chance at the next level will be at linebacker even if he's a little bit smaller for the position at 5-foot-11.<br><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15423846/Jared-Rohn"><strong>HUDL</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jack Robertson (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robertson was Saucon Valley's top wide receiver this past season, totaling 40 receptions for 594 yards and nine touchdowns. The rising senior is listed at 6-foot-0 and 175-pounds and also lines up at cornerback and free safety for the Panthers. Another dual-sport athlete, Robertson is also a point guard for the Panthers, averaging 16.7 points per game as a junior. Overall, Robertson is a very good athlete who shows quite a bit of an upside as a wide receiver thanks to his athleticism and agility which you can also see in his basketball highlights. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15507499/6554f0b35b3caa0270ef941a"><strong>HUDL</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Andrew Gilbert (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior cornerback for Saucon Valley has good size at 6-foot-0 and 190-pounds while also being a three-sport athlete, also playing basketball and baseball. Gilbert plays defensive back for Saucon Valley and was one of the Panthers top defenders, recording 50 tackles as well as three interceptions and four pass deflections. Unfortunately, there's not a ton of tape available of Gilbert but the stats make him a name to at least put on the radar.<a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15507484/654c0d938cd4770438634855"> <strong>HUDL</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pottsville</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1325864' first='Tahlil' last='White'] (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>White plays defensive line and tight end for Pottsville but his future is likely on the defensive side of the ball. This past fall as a junior, White recorded 46 tackles including 15 tackles and four sacks. He also had six additional quarterback hurries. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound White has a decent first step off the line of scrimmage and a strong motor, willing to fight through multiple blockers to get to the quarterback. Once he gets going, White has quality speed and can get to the ball carrier or quarterback quickly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Terrell McFarland (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In six games for Pottsville this past season, McFarland rushed for 413 yards and six touchdowns across 63 carries. On the smaller side, McFarland stands at 5-foot-8 and 175-pounds but is a tough downhill runner who shows the ability to power through would-be tacklers. Has a nice burst to his game as well and shows quality athleticism and speed but doesn't necessarily have that additional gear just yet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lehighton</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1352811' first='Blake' last='Roberts'] (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The sophomore wide receiver / linebacker is a well built prospect at 6-foot-2 and 200-pounds who is a very good athlete, also playing basketball for Lehighton. His style as a wide receiver very much reminds me of a tight end which if he continues to grow, could be a spot he can play at the next level. Strong runner who's tough to bring down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wilson Area</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>J'Son Johnson (2027)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Unfortunately there are no highlights available for Johnson. That being said as a freshman, the undersized Wilson Area linebacker recorded 52 tackles as a freshman and one fumble recovery. A strong start to his high school career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
