Recruiting Update: June Edition, Volume IV

<p>Wedged between camp season and the non-contact period's conclusion, there have been several prospects that either recently announced their commitments to play college football or earned football scholarships. Here are a few noteworthy announcements made over the last month.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">A product of The Hun School, [player_tooltip player_id='648837' first='Seth' last='Clarke']'s recruitment has picked up steam as of late. Prior to getting what appears to be his first Power 5 offer from Rutgers, the rising junior also racked up a number of offers from programs including Maine, Wagner, Stony Brook, Fordham, and New Hampshire. An ascension imminent, fully expect more Power 5 offers to roll in. </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/Clarke_Seth56/status/1786807353985110353 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">While Clarke makes some noise on the defensive side of the ball in terms of recruiting, Hun teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1295981' first='Jack' last='Moran'] does the same for offense. Moran, who possesses ideal size for a quarterback at any level, earned a scholarship offer from UMass a short while back. In addition to the Minutemen, Charlotte, Old Dominion, Temple, Marshall, East Carolina, UConn, and Maryland are all clamoring for Moran's services.</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/Jackmoran_15/status/1786182414340874365 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Salute to this young man. As Coach Dominique Gaston continues to sculpt the shape of Pope John, the outstanding play and character of players like [player_tooltip player_id='1031721' first='Wes' last='Johnston'] seem like prime examples of type of men he Gaston wishes to build. With two seasons yet to play, Johnston, an outstanding defensive back, is has pledge his commitment to Army. </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/johnston_wes/status/1787250447348060354 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">As a defensive line coach myself, [player_tooltip player_id='402196' first='Brandon' last='Simmons Jr.'] is one of my favorite prospects in the state. If you follow my coverage, I think this probably radiates through. Simmons' recruitment saw a serious up-tick in May. UConn is the latest university to join the pursuit of this d-line prospect who can probably play anywhere in a front. The Huskies have joined Charlotte, West Virginia, Pitt, Akron, Miami, and Temple in hopes to court the 2026 graduate.</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/brandon7simmons/status/1787279850304057372 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">The months of April and May have been very kind to the Don Bosco Ironmen. Another quality prospect who made some noise this spring has been [player_tooltip player_id='1296011' first='Pedro' last='Valdes']. Valdes, a prospect I have not yet had the opportunity to watch film on yet, seems like a solid one. So much so that St. Anslem College popped his offer cherry, being the first collegiate institution formally extend an offer to Valdes. Congrats and many more to come!</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/Pedro_Valdes50/status/1787660777660318174 </div></figure>
