Thomas Frazier
Thomas Frazier
Thomas Frazier was St. Joe’s starting Freshmen QB in 2023, guiding the team to a 7-0 record. Frazier displayed a quick release and can improvise when a play breaks down. As a Defensive Back, Tommy showed impeccable instincts and great ball skills. He is a phenomenal tackler and has great awareness on the field. He will compete for the starting QB job as a sophomore but even if he isn’t the signal caller, he will be a dominant force on defense.
Owen Kicinski Owen Kicinski 5’8″ | 170 lbs | RB St Joseph Collegiate Institute | 2027 NY is a jack-of-all-trades; As a RB, he is incredibly fast with excellent vision. As a slot receiver, he has very good hands and is a crisp route runner. On defense, he is a solid coverage corner that read and reacts very well. St. Joe’s varsity team has a lot of talent at the RB position so they will be able to move Owen around in a variety of packages.
Highlights
Acari Brown
Acari Brown
Acari Brown is a dual threat at WR and DB. He has soft hands and is a good route runner. Brown exhibits good concentration and is a legitimate Free Safety that plays the middle of the field very well and will win most jump balls. Standing at 6’1 as a Freshman, his future looks bright. But Bennett’s varsity is loaded with top notch upperclassmen so one more year of JV may be advantageous to Acari Brown’s future success
Karee Daley
Karee Daley
Karee Daley is an aggressive tackler that loves physicality as he shined as an OLB. He contributes on all three phases of the game. He is a ballhawk, always looking to make a play. Maryvale is predominantly a run first team but that doesn’t stop Daley from contributing as a fantastic blocker. From what I saw on film, this young man is Varsity ready
Kamron Minter
Kamron Minter
There wasn’t much film I found on Kamron Minter but through talking with some of his coaches, he is primed to make a huge impact for McKinley as a sophomore. From what I did see, Minter is fast with good vision. He is a big, strong and physical playmaker with superior hands. He is expected to to shine as a Tight End and Defensive End for the Macks.
