Continue ReadingShocked that I hadn’t known about this young man up until this event. I’m usually on top of freak athletes, especially ones attending powerhouse programs like Bishop McDevitt. Excited to get this young man on our lists. A sophomore who lit up our event, especially on Day Two. Was named a Top 30 overall performer. Skillset is an obvious one, a huge asset inside of twenty yards. A kid you throw fades to in this setting, Ruth was showing off. Excited to show him more love moving forward.
Easily a Top Ten QB performance put on by Manheim Township’s Jack Kenneff Jack Kenneff 6’1″ | 175 lbs | QB Manheim Township | 2026 PA , had he participated on Day One. The young sophomore created a bit of a buzz early Sunday morning, I got flashes of Hayden Johnson Hayden Johnson 5’10” | 190 lbs | LB Trinity | 2027 PA repping the Camboyz jersey from years past. 6’1, 175, fantastic accuracy all around. Hit his hot reads quickly, hit in-breaking routes 15+ yards downfield with anticipation. Flexed an effortless deep ball in terms of mechanics, not too much of a hitch needed to get the ball downfield. Very excited to see Kenneff work on Friday nights.
Highlights
Dylan Drumheller Dylan Drumheller 6'1" | 170 lbs | WR Owen J Roberts | 2025 PA
Dylan Drumheller Dylan Drumheller 6'1" | 170 lbs | WR Owen J Roberts | 2025 PA
Dylan Drumheller Dylan Drumheller 6’1″ | 170 lbs | WR Owen J Roberts | 2025 PA narrowly missed the cut for Top 30 overall performances. An honorable mention, repping PASWAG, Drumheller put on a show throughout Day One of our event. Multiple interceptions, multiple scores too, Drumheller provided a tangible presence on both sides of the ball, this against some serious talent. Awesome to see a relative unknown perform well in front of my eyes, I’ll do what I can moving forward to spread his name a bit.
Amare DuBoise
Amare DuBoise
Three-sport athlete, a soon-to-be senior who somehow slipped through my cracks. He and his younger brother Braylen DuBoise leaped onto my radar after watching both work at our event this past weekend. His younger brother is a current 7th-grader, so I won’t hold my head too low on not knowing his name. I am a bit shocked Amare isn’t on our rankings yet. I pride myself in showcasing talent out of District 11, I clearly have to do a better job. DuBoise did a well enough job for me to take a look into his tape this coming update.
Daymar Dickerson
Daymar Dickerson
McDowell’s Daymar Dickerson reeled in some nasty catches throughout this tournament. I wish I had recorded more of his highlights, he was a top performer in hindsight. Dickerson carried a defender build out there, yet consistently reeled in catches you’d figure were outside of his athletic spectrum. Looked like a backer or DE, yet Dickerson was doing what he could offensively to help ESC win ball games. Taking a peek at his Twitter, I learned the junior has plenty of experience on the defensive side of the ball. Excited to dive into his tape in the future.
Zameere Thomas
Zameere Thomas
I admittedly didn’t get to see much of Prospect Elite out of Farrell, PA. Love what I saw out of Aaron Pegues Aaron Pegues 5’11” | 160 lbs | QB Farrell | 2027 State PA and Julius Phillips, yet one name continued to be brought up to me by coaches and scouts alike. That being Farrell’s Zameere Thomas. My colleague Caleb Holfoth repeatedly mentioned how impressed he was with Thomas’s overall performance throughout the two-day event. Thomas narrowly missed being mentioned inside our Top 30 Performances article. I will keep my eye on him moving forward.
Robert Novotny Robert Novotny TE St. Joe's Prep | 2026 PA
Robert Novotny Robert Novotny TE St. Joe's Prep | 2026 PA
First time laying eyes on St. Joseph’s Prep’s Robert Novotny Robert Novotny TE St. Joe’s Prep | 2026 PA , a bit surprised I hadn’t identified the young TE prospect before this. A 6’4, 220-pound TE prospect who worked with Tre Henning Tre Henning 6’0″ | 180 lbs | QB St. Joseph’s Prep | 2025 State PA and Kendall Jackson Kendall Jackson QB St. Joseph’s Prep | 2027 PA on Wingmen Crimson. The TE duo of 2026 Novotny and 2027 Wilson should help whoever is behind center moving forward for Prep. Novotny was an easy target to hit when working the middle of the field. Seam benders, curls, out routes. Usually aligned just outside of the tackle box in these settings. Interested in his potential at EDGE/DE as well. Will be ranked next update.
Have to show love to 2027 SJP DB Brandon Ross Brandon Ross 5’10” | 160 lbs | ATH St. Joseph’s Prep | 2027 PA . Could be a quality starter sooner rather than later. I didn’t see much of Ross outside of a nasty one-hand interception he came down with against NOS Elite. SJP is reloading with exceptional talent leaving to play next-level football, guys like Brandon Ross Brandon Ross 5’10” | 160 lbs | ATH St. Joseph’s Prep | 2027 PA are going to have to step up. He’s a name I’m going to stash for the future.
Elijah Hampton
Elijah Hampton
The best and most exciting new name coming out of this event. Based on what I saw, this kid is likely to rank well among his 2026 classmates. Here’s what I had to say about his two-day performance last weekend.rn
Can’t believe I hadn’t heard about this young man’s game prior to this event. Practically unguardable, a step above competition in terms of separation skills. Elijah Hampton sits squarely among some prominent names in the northeast, that’s huge praise coming from myself. Originally a Coatesville kid, now turned Soudy prospect, Elijah Hampton left DBs in the dust throughout both days of the 7v7 tournament. Even though I created this list, I find it hard to imagine 13 other players played better than the Tribe two-way stud. I bring up his acceleration and separating skills again. I’d love to see this young man run track, based on what I saw, I’d figure he’d succeed and perform well on the oval. Likely the best new name on radar post-event.
Mason Young
Mason Young
This isn’t the first time seeing Wilson’s Mason Young work in shorts and a t-shirt. I saw him work among QBs at a camp last Summer ran by Coach Brady in a similar area. When talking about ranking, Young will make an appearance in due time, simply waiting for film to be put on Hudl. Young left a great impression after two different events, he’s going to end up placing well on our ranks when the time comes. I was able to record great reps out of the sophomore passer, wish I got to see more out of him on Day Two.
