[player_tooltip player_id='940305' first='Elijah' last='Burnley'], a Cheltenham defensive line prospect who recently ranked inside the top ten at his position, keeps up the heat on the recruiting trail. Burnley, who broke out earleir in the year with an offer out of Akron after their Philadelphia push. Kent State is understandably on a similar path as of right now. The Golden Flashes are making their presence known out East, making sure Burnley is buttered up via scholarship offer. For the soon-to-be junior, Power Four offers aren't out of the question. He's likely going to have to put forth dominant Fall tape to get calls from BIG10 programs, yet it isn't out of the question, especially if he hits the camp circuit hard.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6632d626a952d"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/EliBurnley99/status/1786170647489425888","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EliBurnley99/status/1786170647489425888 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["854354"],"_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":"We last checked in on top-three linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='854354' first='Charles' last='Belser'] out of Imhotep Charter after he recieved an offer out of Notre Dame on Pot of Gold Day. Since March 17th, things were relatively quiet, to no fault of Belser's own of course. Coaches have hit the road, Duke and Kent State both reached out to Belser, extending scholarship offers to the elite 2026 prospect. These both coming on May 2nd via Coach Infante and Coach Rymiszewski. Depending on Fall production/tape, I'd argue there is no real ceiling Belser can't break through.

Kent State serving as the young man's first offer, certainly won't be his last. Interested in finding out what Sondah's ceiling is in terms of recruitment. It's likely he'll be a lock for looks among FCS and G5 programs recruiting Philadelphia, yet his current and future measurable projections suggest he could meet the thresholds put in place by some of the best programs in the country. 6'2, 280 with tape like Sondah's, he's bound to hear from many in the coming weeks.

Look for the likes of Syracuse and Boston College to inquire immediately, the programs might've been present at SJP's showcase Thursday afternoon.
