Post-New England Showdays, Names that Impressed up North

<p class="text-gray-700">An unranked soon-to-be senior out of Avon Old Farms, surprised we don't have him on our lists, yet makes sense considering he doesn't have tape on Hudl. Watched him navigate bag drills well, attentive to coaching, looks natural moving laterally as any backer prospect with years under his belt should. Hit 500x5 on Box Squats just over a week ago. Interested in learning who will be stationed beside [player_tooltip player_id='849350' first='Owen' last='Moreland'] and others. We'll have Streich on the radar moving forward. Member of the Outdoor club, wrestling team, is a peer tutor too. Sounds like a fantastic young man off the field.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/streich2025/status/1791870989497766190 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Had the opportunity to see a top-ranked defensive back work under my microscope. 6'1, 185, pure cover corner. Boasts an unverified 4.59 40, a 3,45 GPA. A returning starter who made the AOF pro day look like a breeze, as he should. Participates on the VB Hockey team. Bit surprised the corner is unoffered currently. Many programs are clamoring for bigger DBs, here is one with experience at a prestigious program. 74" wingspan. Took JDV's to Holy Cross, Marist, and Fordham University. Hoping he hears back from interested FCS programs. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">A new name, happy to see Carter, a freshman DB at Avon Old Farms, have a spot on our Watchlist. In time, he's going to come off that list and place on our ranks, probably well considering his early skillset. I didn't get to see Carter work 1v1s, didn't get to see him operate against the likes of Hnat and/or Andrews, yet this kid navigated drills with a purpose. He caught my eye numerous times, worked his 45-degree cut drills well. 5'11, 165, a long way from seeing substantial time, he still has to carve out a role for himself in this program. Workouts like the one put forth two weeks ago likely go a long way in terms of building trust. A name we will stash.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MylesCarter0/status/1791215383271125441 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Rashon Andrews led the wideout group, yet I still came away pleased after watching 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='521437' first='Rafferty' last='McSweeney'] work drills at the AOF pro day. Ranked well among current juniors, my colleague Roger Silva hit on his analysis of McSweeney, with the pass-catcher receiving his first FCS offer out of Lehigh University. Recently hit some PRs on the track, those numbers had to help solidify things for Lehigh, other FCS programs too. 3.8 GPA, HS Jon Wholley raves about his upcoming usage in the offense. I could see McSweeney crack our top 100 after his senior season. Is a real candidate for a 1st-Team All-Founders nomination next Fall.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Brunswick School's Ty Lloyd impressing in a Pro-Day style setting shouldn't impress many. That doesn't mean we can't show the top-ten 2025 wideout some love. A bit overshadowed in this one, [player_tooltip player_id='385240' first='Blake' last='Hebert'] was doing his thing, [player_tooltip player_id='851085' first='Will' last='Graves'] drew warranted attention as he was the unknown coming into the event. [player_tooltip player_id='1079424' first='Kieran' last='Edwards'] and [player_tooltip player_id='404298' first='Ethan' last='Long'] drew a ton of deserved eyes their way, yet Ty Lloyd's skills deserve equal spotlight. 4.6 40, 10'1” hands, a name I'd throw to coaches in need of a wideout who can separate. Surprised Lloyd came away from the event without a scholarship opportunity, this hardly means he's not on many of the attending college boards, he undoubtedly is. Lloyd is my pick to reap the benefits sowed by a new-look offense with [player_tooltip player_id='385240' first='Blake' last='Hebert'] at the helm. Noisette and Graves will surely get their looks, I like Lloyd to be the pass-catcher that makes Hebert the most comfortable.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TyLloyd02/status/1728912423325999506 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">If my recollection serves me right, I believe [player_tooltip player_id='1287450' first='Zay' last='Smith'] was the lone back working out at the Brunswick Pro-Day. I carved out a few minutes to make sure I watched him run through bags. Smith boasted a compact build, solid conditioning too. Per Brunswick, Smith transitioned to running back after primarying as a DB in the past. The coaching brass at BS have high hopes that Smith might've taken some tips from former all-conference back [player_tooltip player_id='614520' first='Bryce' last='Davis']. Likely a five-year Brunswick prospect. Expect Smith to land on our ranks so long as he produces behind this fantastic line. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect who has slipped through our cracks, talking placement on our rankings. Doesn't have full tape posted on Hudl, yet is likely a name that is landing on more FCS boards up North than we expected. A lot to like, especially after watching him work at the Cheshire Academy Pro-Day. My eyes were on the QBs and skill guys for the most part, yet I spent the early minutes paying close attention to the two prospects leading the linemen pack. Frazier was one of those prospects. 6'3, 226, picked up his first offer out of Howard ten days post camp. Interest is certainly heating up, Frazier can double as an EDGE/TE two-way player, one who boasts a 3.9 GPA. Group of Five ceiling, especially if he puts forth fantastic tape.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/M4TTFR4ZIER_/status/1794917827402756544 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Feeling some deja vu here, with my first trip to Cheshire Academy this time last year having myself two twin brothers to evaluate. The Kentucky commits have moved on to the next level, with the Frazier brothers now in their place. </p>   <p>Noah, a 2026, 6'2, 235, 3.8 GPA, track and field participant. Has a Twitter clip of him dunking, impressive at his weight and age. Formerly out of Bishop McLaughling Catholic, played basketball in his past. Noah also doesn't have seasonal tape on Hudl, tough to rank him currently no matter the hype. He's a name we will keep our eyes on moving forward. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Awesome to see another Reno suit up for Cheshire Academy. This year, my colleague Roger Silva and I got a chance to watch [player_tooltip player_id='944022' first='Vince' last='Reno'] work at linebacker for CA, last year witnessing [player_tooltip player_id='399294' first='Dante' last='Reno'], who will be leveling up to South Carolina. [player_tooltip player_id='944022' first='Vince' last='Reno'] is ranked well, currently places as a PRZNE Top 25 2027 prospect. More than watching Reno work through bags, or working SCF reads (seam/curl/flat) from his backer spot during routes on air, I was interested in seeing what his body looked like as he heads into his sophomore year at CA. Body checks out, a real 205, a real 6'2. Had to remind myself several times that Reno still has two and a half more offseasons of development left to attack. Likely to be a household name for those recruiting New England this time next year.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Vreno13/status/1754591272629678426 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">4.66 40 laser time posted at the Hamden Hall Pro-Day. Was even more impressed during routes on air. Soft hands, reeled in some throws he had no business getting hands on let alone catching. Great physique, great conditioning. Was beside [player_tooltip player_id='732837' first='Qeanu' last='Johnson'], a future FBS prospect, yet Strauser didn't look too far apart in terms of talent. Apparently a smart kid and a joy to coach. Had a busy April visiting Brown, UNH, and Marist Universities. Ranked relatively well, wouldn't be shocked to see him rank inside his class's top 250.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Arguably the biggest winner post-New England Showdays (Day One), in my opinion. Syombathy hasn't heard back from schools in the form of offers since his performance at Hamden Hall, yet I'd argue he placed himself on 10+ collegiate boards post-workout, considering the amount of schools waiting to speak to him afterwards. Syombathy showed off a chiseled physique, one that wasn't prevalent this time last year. Ran a 4.6 40 in front of coaches, weighing in at 225. Jumped a 10'6", boasts a 3.2 GPA. Worked at TE, caught passes during routes on air, spent the next half of the workout working against FBS prospect Valdamir Acosta and winning his fair share of reps. I wouldn't worry about anything else but putting great tape on Hudl as soon as possible, if I were Syombathy and his camp. Don't look elsewhere, don't compare, good things will come so long as he stays on course and continues to turn heads. Currently on our Watchlist, will easily land high on our ranks with a full season under his belt at Hamden Hall. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic/status/1790066486045749558 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Eyes were on [player_tooltip player_id='734379' first='Kevin' last='Roche'] and [player_tooltip player_id='733093' first='Jackson' last='Davenport'] upon arriving at the Darien Pro Day. Along side the massive FBS tackle prospect was [player_tooltip player_id='405817' first='Dylan' last='Geddes'], who has a high recruiting ceiling in his own right. 80" wingspan, is a Rugby participant, stands at a verified 6'5, 280. Working beside Davenport helped Geddes stock I imagine, as both were making the ground shake during warm-ups. Geddes is still unoffered which is likely to change so long as he stays on the current course. Geddes visited Stony Brook, Fordham, and Bryant Universities through the month of April, locking in relationships with coaching staffs who are likely to recruit the Dairen product. Junior Day and Spring Game visits were also paid to UMass and Marist earlier this past Spring. I wouldn't hold my breath too long if I'm Geddes and Family, good things are likely coming his way sooner rather than later. </p>
