Lawrence Timmons is a legit cornerback who played very well last year for Pine-Richland. Timmons showed that he can cover in both zone defense and man-to-man. He has good ball skills as he can play the man and then make a play on that ball. The other part of his game that is good is Timmons can play both as a slot defender and as an outside corner. At both positions, he plays well at. As a slot defender, he can showcase more of his all-round game by making tackles in space and coming off the edge to blitz. Timmons is an all-around good cornerback and I am looking forward to seeing him play next year.
Troy Stimpson Troy Stimpson 5’10” | 170 lbs | DB Canon-McMillan | 2027 State PA played outside linebacker and some running back for Cannon McMillan. He started 4 games on defense at outside linebacker and did a good job playing as a linebacker as a Freshman. Stimpson is fundamentally sound. He does a great job of dropping into the zone and making the right read. He is a good tackler in the open field. Stimpson shows he knew how to read his keys, and then come upfield to make the play. Stimpson also ran the ball as a running back and had a physical running style. Stimpson should only improve going into next year and I expect he be a bigger part of the team.
Aaron Lawson Aaron Lawson 5’7″ | 170 lbs | DB Central Valley | 2026 State PA played cornerback last year for Central Valley. In his film, he played a ton of zone coverage as that appears to be Central Valley’s defensive system. Lawson does a good job playing team defense always dropping into his coverage and making a play when thrown his way. Lawson has good ball skills and uses them well when the ball is thrown his way. Lawson is also a good tackler and does a nice job of coming upfield to make a tackle in the open field. Lawson is a good cover corner.
William Ki Gorman William Ki Gorman 6’3″ | 225 lbs | LB Imani Christian Academy | 2026 State PA is a special athlete playing defensive end. He has a great combination of speed and strength for a defensive end. He gets off the ball extremely quickly. When he gets into the backfield he creates havoc for the offense by making plays against the run and pass. If the quarterback tries to scramble he is a good athlete to chase the down. Gorman recently picked up an offer from UNLV and recently visited with Kentucky. I think it is just the start of him blowing up in the recruiting world.
Highlights
I came away very impressed with Xavier Smith Xavier Smith 6’0″ | 210 lbs | DL Palmyra | 2027 State PA as a prospect after watching his film. For a Freshman playing Varsity for the 1st time he played at a high level. Smith is fundamentally sound and does a great job of using his hands to engage and get off blocks. In his film, I saw him several times use his hands well to get off a block go down the line of scrimmage and make a tackle. Smith also has a motor that never quits. I came away super impressed with his ability to play at a high level as a defensive lineman. Smith has a lot of potential as well.

Antonio Fernandez
Antonio Fernandez
Antonio Fernandez played quarterback for Allentown Central Catholic and played at a very high level. Fernandez is a classic pocket quarterback who knows exactly where he wants to go with the ball every time he throws it. He is good at processing information and then he knows where to put the ball. Fernandez has an excellent arm and shows good accuracy in throwing the ball. Fernandez had a strong Sophomore season, but I expect him to improve and get even better going forward.
