#129: Kayden Phillips Kayden Phillips 5'5" | ATH Newton | 2027 State NJ , ATH, Newton
- CB who in run support gets hands on receivers and separates to avoid getting blocked, fights like hell to do so; at WR has a decent burst, capable of beating comparable defenders; catches with hands; must improve tackling target, does so too high
#128: Cameron Santos Cameron Santos 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR Bridgewater-Raritan | 2027 State NJ , WR, Bridgewater-Raritan
- CB who rises to play/effort of his match up; serves as a good tackler on kickoff, wrapping returners waist

#126: Rocco Scialla Rocco Scialla 5'7" | 155 lbs | DB Don Bosco Prep | 2027 State NJ , DB, Don Bosco Prep
- A good tackler who will smack someone running along the sideline, as well as make a sure take down in the open field/space; elusive with ball in his hands; will lay out to break up passes and knows, at a minimum, to get hands on the ball; must look to improve hip mobility
#125: Zach Miceli Zach Miceli 5'9" | 145 lbs | QB Old Tappan | 2027 State NJ , QB, Old Tappan
- Best attribute to his game is that ball can get delivered with touch on it; solid decision maker when dropping back, unafraid to tuck it and run when he needs to; must improve arm strength
#124: Colin Moore Colin Moore 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Seton Hall Prep | 2027 State NJ , RB, Seton Hall Prep

#122: Rocco Sosa Rocco Sosa 5'8" | 210 lbs | LB St. John Vianney | 2027 State NJ , LB, St. John Vianney
- Diagnoses run, flows accordingly over top to point of attack nicely; solid tackler who does not let many break; must improve speed and agility this offseason to crack varsity
#121: Andrew Wright Andrew Wright 5'10" | 150 lbs | QB Newark Central | 2027 State NJ , QB, Newark Central
- No issues with release; likes to throw the deep fade ball; runs well in the open field but first steps up, keeping eyes downfield to throw; needs to get more in rhythm when throwing – lower body torque and timing will put ball in spot for targets to accrue YAC

- Can lull defenders to sleep by jogging and then turning up past them; adjust to poorly thrown balls; shows desire to make big blocks in run game, seals with his head too; hand catcher; better receiver than CB at this point; must improve back pedal and “athletic position” when defending
#118: De’Aire Simpson De’Aire Simpson 5'8" | 155 lbs | TE Williamstown | 2027 State NJ , TE, Williamstown
- Good hands and can high point ball consistently; questionable balance as he extends, tumbles, and falls – yet all the while prioritizing possession of the ball consistently; somewhat difficult to take down; need clips of him blocking as an in-line TE
#117: Jonah Carbon Jonah Carbon 5'10" | 160 lbs | DB DePaul Catholic | 2027 State NJ , DB, DePaul Catholic
