Rising Stars Bowl Preview: Team Long Island’s Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are just two days away from the Rising Stars Bowl. Long Island's top 2025 prospects go to battle against New York City's top 2025 prospects in a full-contact game Saturday night. Move The Chains Academy did an excellent job setting this game up. Take a look at Team Long Island's offense below</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">QB's</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There will be three quarterbacks playing for Team Long Island. [player_tooltip player_id='505383' first='Elijah' last='Outlaw'], one of the top multi-sport athletes in the state highlights the group. Outlaw is an elite dual-threat quarterback who led West Babylon to the Suffolk semi-finals. [player_tooltip player_id='606253' first='Brady' last='Nash'] from Islip will be featured as well. Nash has had a great offseason and is one of the top passers on the Island. Rounding out the group is [player_tooltip player_id='806359' first='Josiah' last='Patrick'] from Holy Trinity. Standing at 6 foot 3, Patrick is an intriguing quarterback prospect. Like Nash, he's put together a great start to the offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">RB's</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The two running backs for Team Long Island are [player_tooltip player_id='1142272' first='Tyler' last='Villalta'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1105260' first='Kendrick' last='Mohan']. Villalta out of Massapequa is one of Long Island's top players. He led the Cheifs to an undefeated season and a Long Island title. The Pequa product has breakaway speed and is one of the most explosive players in this game. Mohan from West Babylon did a great job on both sides of the ball last year. As a running back, he is very difficult to bring down and will bring a tough running style to Team Long Island</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">WR's </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group is downright loaded. [player_tooltip player_id='1213092' first='Nassir' last='Edwards'] was named Nassau County's top receiver as a junior. The Elmont native listed at 6'4 is a matchup nightmare. [player_tooltip player_id='837364' first='Aziz' last='Kamran'] out of Herricks is another big and athletic receiver. He had a statement junior season where he led Nassau County in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns. [player_tooltip player_id='505384' first='Jayden' last='Simpson'] from Holy Trinity is the ultimate speedster of the group. Look out for him to make some big plays downfield. His teammate [player_tooltip player_id='505537' first='Chase' last='Cruz'] is also in the bunch. Cruz performed extremely well at the Elite V Showcase earlier in the month with a dominant showing. Staying in the catholic league, [player_tooltip player_id='514952' first='Michael' last='Dietrich'] from Chaminade is also in the group. Dietrich has gotten off to an incredible start this offseason, as he tore up the Elite V Showcase and the Classic Camp Series. He's a must-watch player this summer. [player_tooltip player_id='618688' first='Kyle' last='Britton'] out of Seaford is another talented receiver from Nassau County. He's been great on the 7v7 circuit and will be a big threat in this game. [player_tooltip player_id='1174302' first='Christian' last='Aquino'] from Lindenhurst is another option for this offense. He had a successful junior season totaling over 500 yards receiving and is in for a breakout summer. Rounding out the receiving corps is Emberney Mateo from MacArthur. Undersized at 5'8 but Mateo is very quick. Look out for him to make plays after the catch in open space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">OL</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now it's time for the big guys up front. [player_tooltip player_id='1283939' first='AJ' last='Molenko'] out of Massapequa will start us off in this positional preview. He was an excellent run blocker last season. He helped pave holes for a Chiefs team that ran all over everyone. Another solid run blocker is Carlo Difazio out of Comsewogue. He helped guide their powerful run game from the center position. A name to know on this line is [player_tooltip player_id='515273' first='Colin' last='Maher'] from St Dominic's. He has great size at 6'6 and 300 pounds. Maher just picked up his first offer from St Anslem this week. Also from the catholic league will be [player_tooltip player_id='735859' first='Isaiah' last='Gittens'] from Kellenberg. He mainly played defense last year, but he has the strength and athleticism to perform well at tackle. Another West Babylon product will be playing in this game as well. Shabrece Fuller was a dominant two-way lineman last season. His power was eye-opening and I'm excited to see how he performs against New York City. [player_tooltip player_id='1284138' first='James' last='Loud'] will be another interior lineman to watch. Loud from South Side, was also an excellent lead blocker during his junior year when the Cyclones won a county title. And the final offensive lineman on the team is Saverio Barbera. The versatile lineman from Happauage is another exciting player to keep an eye on</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
