New Haven a top D2 program in the area finished 8-3 last season losing only one conference game and eventually losing in the first round of the D2 National Championship Tournament. New Haven features several New Yorkers on their roster but this group of prospects looks like their best addition of New York prospects in a couple of years.

He falls under a long list of very successful Dutchman linebackers who have or are currently playing college football. Martin Jr is a versatile player that can impact the game against the run, drop into coverage, and be an effective blitzer with his burst, bend, and finishing ability. Martin Jr can be effective lining up on the edge using quick and violent hands to shed blocks and get into the backfield. Martin Jr is physical at the point of attack and shows the versatility to be a very impactful OLB at the next level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66060aac606d2"} /--> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rest of the Class</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521446"],"_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='521446' first='Abdoul' last='Bah'], another top NYC LB was a leader on Catholic State Champion Cardinal Hayes defense. Bah lined up all over the field for Cardinal Hayes and was a big reason why there defense was so dominant through the long season. Bah is a really good tackler and finisher. He comes downhill with violence, takes good pursuit angles, and is efficient and consistent in his ability to wrap up and finish in space. Bah's best ability is his closing speed and trigger down hill. Another talented LB prospect headed to New Haven.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["528474"],"_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='528474' first='Fabian' last='Rhoden'], one of my favorite defensive line prospects has been a big contributor to Newburgh's success over the previous couple of seasons. Rhoden has a thick powerful lower half and he is explosive out of his stance. While he may not have the ideal height or length for an interior defensive line position he plays with very good pad level and is consistently winning with his hands and playing with leverage. Rhode is athletically impressive, and has skills to his game that not many other defensive lineman in New York can replicate.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["476866"],"_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='476866' first='Nick' last='Souffrin'], a talented two-way player for Monsignor Farrell was one of their top seniors from this past years squad. Souffrin who will play defensive back at New Haven is a phsycial tackler and can make plays defensively in open space. The ball skills he shows offensively will translate at the next level where his ability to track and high point the football will stand out. Souffrin plays with a high-motor and uses active hands to get off blocks showcasing the ability to set the edge from the cornerback position. Souffrin will be a versatile defensive back for New Haven for years to come.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["604470"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"One of the top Offensive Lineman prospects in the PSAL, [player_tooltip player_id='604470' first='Tamel' last='Morgan'] was a dominant mauling guard for James Madison. Morgan plays with really good fundamentals. His hand placement, consistency in mainting and finishing blocks stand out on tape. Morgan plays with a mauling attitude, always moving his feet, looking for work at the second level and finishing guys to the ground. As Morgan continues to add strength and get bigger his game will only continue to develop for New Haven.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["535759"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='535759' first='Issac' last='Glaudin'] out of Holy Cross was one of if not the best WRs in the PSAL this season. A consistent producer for multiple seasons, Glaudin is one of those players who just looks like he belongs playing at the next level when you watch his tape. New Haven are getting an extremely smooth route runner whose ability to catch and turn up field make him a dangerous YAC player. Glaudin is smooth and simple in the way he plays but is one of the most effective players in New York.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1209716"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1209716' first='Dwayne' last='Meadors'] out of Hempstead is a big physical back who was consistently one of the hardest guys to bring down in all of Long Island this past fall. Meadors is big at 200+ lbs and runs with good strength and power. Meadors may not be the fastest back but his lower half is so strong that defenders really struggle to bring him down when they go low, when they go high Meadors often ends up putting his shoulder through them. New Havens adds some size to their backfield with only 2 RBs on the roster over 200lbs.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1208647"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1208647' first='Jared' last='Navidad'] one of the most productive kickers in the state from Carmel will join New Haven.

Luzzi has a big arm and he is a tough QB to bring down with his size and elusiveness. His ability to escape and extend make him an intruiging prospect for New Haven. Luzzi's who had good tape at New Rochelle continued to develop his mechanics looking much smoother and more comfortbale in the pocket during his season at Salisbury.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66060aac60854"} /--> <!-- wp:heading {"textAlign":"left"} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-left">Check Out More Signing Class Content Below</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- 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 --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/03/2024-signing-class-overview-monmouth-hawks/">2024 Signing Class Overview: Monmouth Hawks</a></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 -->
