International recruit, played for the U14 OSFL Myers Riders. Played JV ball two Falls ago, his first season of football. Put together a fantastic season at LB with the Nepean Eagles, MVP as well as other accolades were awarded. Tape eventually landed on Coach Moore’s doorstep, was likely a hot name among many New England NEPSAC programs. Backer in a 12-man league, I’m not accustomed to alignments and assignments on 12-man defenses so I’ll likely focus on the young man’s physical skillset. A maniac to the football, seen barreling through blockers to make his presence felt at the ball carrier. Head-on-fire style of play, Farhat sees and reacts without much thought. Will likely have to fine-tune this trait, although a plus at his previous school. Good production, great blitzer. A missile who is likely to win matchups head-up with incoming backs running in gaps between the tackles. This is an underrated acquisition. Announced as a 2026.

Unfamiliar with leagues and programs up in Canada. A grade 11 DB who made 2nd-Team All-Ontario honors representing St. Benedict-Sudbury. No Hudl, no activity between June of last year and February of this current year. I usually don’t venture into tape not placed on Hudl, yet Grossi has substantial tape on Youtube currently. Played a Safety/Backer hybrid position that allowed him to play freely, less thinking, more playing based on instincts. Love that idea, this kid moves, reads and reacts, better than most on the field, you can pick him out without knowing his number, he flies to the football and displays real awareness of his surroundings. Equally a proficient run defender as he is a cover man. Experience toting the rock, experience as a return man as well. An evaluation of Canadian ball won’t serve him much right now. What’s exciting is thinking about the potential role Grossi could serve at Tabor Academy. There will be an adjustment period, yet Grossi could have his hands everywhere this coming Fall. An underrated perspective, a player like this infused into the program will elevate practice quality. The young man is expected to compete and earn everything potentially coming his way, excited to see him work in May. Announced as a 2026.

Formerly out of Saltfleet District HS (Hamilton, Ontario). Was a 2025 up North in Canada, now announced as a 2026 with two years left under his belt at Tabor Academy. No Hudl, no real Twitter presence, although Carter announced after his move to Tabor Academy, that he received an offer from UMass after speaking with Coach Don Brown. A specimen, Gooden played his 2023 ball at a playing weight of 235, now listed at 250 and still managing to two-hand dunk. Will draw many eyes during the New England showdays TA portion. Was a consistent source of pressure off the edge, hand in the dirt, numerous sacks registered through just three minutes of tape. I can’t dissect much off tape yet, but I don’t want to undersell what acquiring an FBS-level pass-rusher can do to uplift a program. Look for more FBS/FCS programs to key in on Gooden the prospect.

Back-to-back state champion as the top 2026 quarterback in New England. Formerly at Catholic Memorial, Peter Bourque Peter Bourque 6’4″ | 195 lbs | QB Tabor Academy | 2027 New E broke huge news in March, announcing his reclassification and transfer to the Tabor Academy (2027). An obvious choice among many talents as the prime acquisition of the reclass period, Bourque’s move will likely shake up future W/L projections. I am no longer ranking in New England, yet I can’t imagine Boruque places outside the top 10 as an FBS-level quarterback prospect with three years left under his belt. Holds an offer out of Maryland, many scouts including myself have put Bourque’s sophomore tape under the microscope. Expect the likes of Rutgers, Syracuse, as well as the UVA’s and Duke’s of the world to express interest soon. One of my favorite prospects.

Formerly a 2026 out of Marshfield HS (Marshfield, MA), now a 2027 at Tabor Academy. Spent two years anchoring the left tackle position, a huge future acquisition. Pair this puzzle piece next to the monster addition of Peter Bourque Peter Bourque 6’4″ | 195 lbs | QB Tabor Academy | 2027 New E , you can’t help but get excited about what Tabor Academy has cooking. You could call the pair of Holmes and Bourque foundation-setting moves, with Tabor Academy both bringing in immediate help, while also investing in it’s future, acquiring both local and international talents alike. Holmes’ tape showcases a blend of quality run-blocking and pass-pro reps. I think there’s room for growth in terms of flexibility, footwork, and hand usage from a pass-pro perspective, yet considering Holmes gets an extra year to develop/hone his skills, I can’t help but imagine Holmes makes great strides on all things pass-pro. His size is an obvious plus, 6’8, 280, up an inch, and five pounds from his Fall playing weight. Don’t be surprised to see Holmes morph into a Division One prospect with additional resources at his disposal.
