<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every year different prospects decide to make a move on where they will play their high school football leaving their original schools for new opportunities. In some cases we see players who run out of eligibility reclassify and transfer to help boost recruitment or get another year of ball under their belt. We also see players move while still in high school for better coaching opportunities, recruiting, or even play-time and on-the-field role changes. Either way, we have seen plenty of prospects move out of the state and plenty of prospects come in the state this spring just like we did last year. Check out some of the most notable recent names below. <br><br>Just like previous transfer updates these players are all in the process of being transferred to their new state sites. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out the three previous parts to this series to see all the post-grads and transfers in New York this spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/03/new-york-post-grad-transfer-update/">New York Post-Grad/Transfer Update Pt. 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/03/new-york-post-grad-transfer-update-pt-ii/">New York Post-Grad/Transfer Update Pt. 2</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/04/new-york-transfer-reclass-update-pt-3/">New York Post-Grad/Transfer Update Pt. 3</a><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["939950"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The biggest name to leave New York Keegan Croucher out of Fonda-Fultonville was set to be one of if not the highest-ranked 2027 prospects in New York when those rankings are updated in the spring.
