Gavin Crosson played center for Easton last year. He shows good strength and a good ability to move defensive lineman off their spots. He is a mauler in the run game by pushing defensive linemen off the ball. He also does a good job double-teaming defensive linemen and peeling off to block linebackers. He also does a good job moving his feet and staying in front of defenders in pass protection. Crosson is a good player in the 2026 class.

Alex Brown has limited film but showed good ability at running back. In the few clips I saw he showed a good burst and could make people miss in space. He also caught the ball well out of the backfield. He also showed a physical running style. Brown should be a bigger contributor next season for New Oxford.
Oliver Trump Oliver Trump 6’2″ | 210 lbs | DL Hanover | 2027 State PA is a good defensive lineman who makes a ton of plays in the backfield against opposing offensive linemen. He does a nice job of using his hands to engage with offensive linemen. Trump is also hard to move off his spot as he has good strength. Finally, he has a motor that never stops. Trump has a chance to be a difference-maker next season.
