#113: Jonathan Okolo Jonathan Okolo 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB Bridgewater-Raritan | 2027 State NJ , RB, Ridgewater-Raritan
- Capable of beating LBs to the sideline; finds second gear running when open field is ahead of him; plays LB and bumps out vs twins; disengages from blcoks well; protects ball when as a carrier; instinct is to bounce outside and trust speed rather than run his track

- Long legs and uses them well; utilizes check down when nothing is there, taking what defensive is giving; as his spiral on his ball improves, so will his on-target accuracy, allowing athletes to catch-and-run more
#110: Travis Benton Travis Benton ATH Eastern Regional | 2027 State NJ , ATH, Eastern Regional

#108: Jamelle Jones Jamelle Jones 6'0" | 175 lbs | DL Bridgewater-Raritan | 2027 State NJ , DL, Bridgewater-Raritan
- Seemed bigger than most he competed with on film; despite rushing relatively upright, possesses balance as a back; serving as a FB, he looks to pick up first possible threat when lead blocking; occassionally lined up in slot where he was able to out-jump defenders on key downs; alternated between DE and MLB; knows to attack the ball when he gets to the quarterback; hustles his butt off and also works as a bender well; too fast for freshman level football; look for improved pursuit angles

- Good weight transfer with a quick release; used a lot in play action pass; willing to take a hit for his teammates in order to deliver a good ball; likes to get ball to playmakers early; running style reminds me of a rugby player for some reason; willing to cut back into the middle of the field when scrambling; drives on the ball when at safety; questioning how his current speed with translate to varsity ball
#105: Colby Gunter Colby Gunter 5'9" | ATH Rancocas Valley | 2027 State NJ , ATH, Rancocas Valley
- CB who breaks on short, now game well; RB who runs with a forward lean and uses this as a way to lower his pad level; as a WR, comes back to the ball in short game and cuts off his route appropriately when scramble drill is in effect; tends to slow down when in open space, making easier for QB to locate; returner who extends arms, reaches upward to receive the kick off
