2024 Signing Class Overview: Monmouth Hawks

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Monmouth Hawks have been a longtime recruiter of New Jersey, the state they reside in. However, with 7 New Yorkers on their roster they have touched the state, especially NYC and Long Island. This year Monmouth will bring on four New Yorkers, the minimum amount to be a part of this series. Hopefully Monmouth continues to utilize New York and the multiple contributors on their roster from the state showcase the success they have had bringing in prospects from the area. This article will include both scholarship and walk-on players because not only are both integral to the success of college football programs but at the FCS level with a lower scholarship limit, walk-on prospects are recruited just as hard and often receive playing time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Highest Ranked Recruit</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["450491"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='450491' first='Jordan' last='Osbourne'] is an extremely talented RB prospect who has elite measurables to be a physical downhill runner in the CAA. Osbourne who will look to help fill the massive hole left by Jaden Shirden who is draft eligible and was one of the best RBs in Division 1 football. Osbourne missed a lot of his Senior season due to injury but still showcased development from his strong junior season. Osbourne is fast and is a threat to take the ball to the endzone every time he touches it. Osbourne is a direct runner using one-cut and hitting the hole hard. He shows really impressive vision finding open field easily. Osbourne is a factor in the passing game showing he can be involved in screens or run routes from a WR position. Osbourne is a D1 body with really impressive athleticism.rnrnCheck out Osbourne's Senior Season work u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16636764/655268ee32dc1100e442d1aeu0022u003eHEREu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66061d1ece410"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rest of the Class</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["404686"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='404686' first='Jake' last='Iacobaccio'] is one of the most dynamic two-way players in the entire state and his film and production during his second stint with CBA-Albany this season would make any school excited about his arrival. Iacobaccio is a dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands, he showcases the quickness and agility to make guys miss in space. Iacobaccio is a strong runner who can break through arm tackles with a strong lower half and quick choppy feet. Iacobaccio was also a very effective safety at Monmouth and although he committed as a running back I would expect him to be a big-time contributor on special teams throughout his career because of his two-way ability.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["806594"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='806594' first='Gabe' last='Blowes'] a two way linemen for Westhampton Beach was a really efffective RG on a powerful offense. Blowes has a lot of natural strength and showcases a really strong anchor and the ability to control defensive lineman with his upper half. As a defensive lineman, Blowes plays with leverage and his strength shows often on tape holding his ground on double teams. Blowes has the strength and size you look for in a lineman and his tape on both sides of the ball show enough potential that Blowes could play on either side at the next level.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["528716"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='528716' first='Luke' last='McAuliffe'] who has consistently been one of the most dominant players in Section II heads to Monmouth as a WR prospect who is a vertical threat who will bring size on the outside of the Hawks WR room. McAuliffe has good length and is a long strider. He shows a good release off the LOS and is a smooth route runner creating separation down the field. McAuliffe does a good job of tracking the ball down field and is effective attacking the ball in the air using his hands, not his body. McAuliffe is a talented WR prospect who will look to help stretch the field for Monmouth just like he did at Shenendehowa.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66061d1ece4e2"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check Out The Other New York Signing Day Overviews Below</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/03/2024-signing-class-overview-buffalo-bulls/">2024 Signing Class Overview: Buffalo Bulls</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/03/2024-signing-class-overview-colgate-raiders/">2024 Signing Class Overview: Colgate Raiders</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
