STANDOUT TRAIT ON TAPE: Two-Way Athleticism/Playmaking
It’s obvious Malvern Prep has a moldable athlete on their hands with Fett. The key to projecting Fett’s future position is likely found in the weight room, depending on how he grows vertically and horizontally. The book is still out on Fett, as the young ATH only has cut-ups on Twitter that I can evaluate. He’s on the JV/B-team over at Malvern, which is usually standard procedure, the program is stacked with sophomores and upperclassmen who have waited their turn. Fett will wait his turn. I’m excited to properly rank him after a season’s worth of tape on Hudl, the Twitter clips will have to suffice, only for now. I value that the coaching staff trusts Fett to carry the rock on offense. Fett looks more and more natural toting the rock as games progressed, heavily involved in LOS mis-direction/counter sets. Fett can align at OLB/DE/EDGE as well. I’ve gone on record in the past, stating I like Fett as a LB piece as the years progress. Last season, Fett proved he can make plays on both sides of the ball. Excited for his future.

STANDOUT TRAIT ON TAPE: Stature, Pass-Pro Reps at 340+ pounds
Only a mid-season tape on Hudl, said tape is four-minutes long, showcasing both DT/DE reps, as well as reps at left tackle. Varisty reps I might add, Rodney Gray Rodney Gray 6’3″ | 340 lbs | OL West Catholic | 2027 State PA was able to put forth substantial tape while gaining significant experience as a freshman. Rodney, who we hope can slim down 20-30 pounds, is powerful enough to bully smaller guards/centers in the trenches and occaionally make a play. Gray can also provide quality LT reps. The kick-slide needs work, Gray isn’t nimble on feet yet, far from it. That being said, the young man can get out of his stance, if he gets his hands on you, you’re going to have real trouble shedding his grip. The potential is through the roof, it’s a major reason we ranked him this high. What Gray could become as a sophomore/junior is where the intrigue lies. Promising future.

STANDOUT TRAIT ON TAPE: Athleticism, position versatility
One rep you find Southern Huntingdon’s Cohen Snyder Cohen Snyder 6’2″ | 185 lbs | QB Southern Huntingdon | 2027 State PA tucking and running for 60+ yards for a score. Next you can find him trucking a would-be tackler in open space. Next rep you can witness Snyder chucking a ball 45-yards through the air for a touchdown. If you haven’t received the hint, later in Snyder’s tape you can find him intercepting balls from his safety position. Of course we have to pump the breaks a bit, as I’m not positive this is varsity ball. I can’t help but be excited about a smart, multi-sport athlete who is making kids look silly on tape. Snyder is on our radar heading into the Fall. We hope he’s stayed in the weight room this offseason. A skillset this versatile will likely garner attention as some point in the future.
STANDOUT TRAIT ON TAPE: Fearlessnes, Brains/IQ
I could write an essay on this young man’s tape. On a list of kids whose potentials might be through the roof, I could make the case that there aren’t 30 freshman in Pennsylvania with better varsity tape. The first thing that cathes your eye on tape is the young man’s fearlessness. Primaries as a single-high safety, Sherman can test seams and TE targets crossing his face, making any target feel all 170-pounds of his body weight. A missile, this young man’s R&R skills are that of an upperclassmen. I don’t see freshmen reading passing concepts like this on the fly. Sherman’s ability to find the football through traffic is incredible, you’d think he has 3-4 years experience filling the alley and helping out in run support. Kid is in the right place at the right time, and attacks each play as if the coaching staff is in his ear. Awesome tackling form, will win open field 1v1s. It says enough that the Cumberland Valley coaching staff trusts him enough to play single-high at this stage in his career. His production on offense and special teams is icing on the cake. Sherman will likely place well among 2027 DBs moving forward. Exemplary secondary play, both against the run and pass.
STANDOUT TRAIT ON TAPE: NO TAPE
Gratz’s Hyneef Thomas Hyneef Thomas ATH Simon Gratz | 2027 State PA doesn’t have a season tape on Hudl, only three game cut-ups as well. A shame, this is one of the best 2027 ATHs I came across last Fall. The only reason I haven’t denied Thomas’s place on the rankings is because I saw him live. His live performance against a solid Germantown Academy defense still sticks to me this day. There’s no denying this is a special talent waiting in the reins. Here’s what I wrote about him after his game down the shore.rn

- Acceleration, play-making ability, alignment versatility, all plusses for Hyneef Thomas Hyneef Thomas ATH Simon Gratz | 2027 State PA . The young man is unleashed by the Gratz coaching staff each week, with full intention of Thomas wreaking havoc in all three phases of the game. I witnessed Thomas take an inside handoff that he took for a score, as well as a kick return for a score, one he had no business returning. The scores were great, yet I was more impressed with his casual reps on defense, as well as at wideout. A heavy producer, one who will be heavily relied on. Excited to see him again later in the year. Could be an FBS prospect down the line, I don’t say that often.
