PRZPA Team Preview, Spring-Ford Rams

<p class="text-gray-700">Media didn't necessarily frenzy to see [player_tooltip player_id='386093' first='Matt' last='Zollers'] perform as a junior passer at Spring-Ford, before all of the offers came through the door. Zollers suiting up behind center for a senior campaign will likely draw eyes from around the northeastern seaboard. Zollers was and still is worth the trip out. Zollers has made the well-deserved climb into the highest tier possible, ranking as the state's best QB prospect, with just one prospect ([player_tooltip player_id='142896' first='Zahir' last='Mathis'], Imhotep) currently out-pacing the senior passer by a minuscule margin. Spring-Ford will inevitably go as far as Zollers and his college-ready arm can take them. Zollers will lead a group filled to the brim with promise, many of which deserve their own time in the limelight. I do wonder if Zollers can take his game to another level, I'm unsure if there's a level above where he's sitting currently, but can SF, led by the Mizzou commit, reach a 6A title? Let's take a look at the supporting cast behind Zollers. </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/MattZollers/status/1813393874275979533 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Very little is known about [player_tooltip player_id='1181602' first='Trent' last='Yoder'], a 2027 prospect on Spring-Ford's Hudl. Lists at 6'3, 200 pounds. Lists that he could be a viable option at QB or OLB. Some lifting numbers, albeit unverified, are nonetheless impressive. If he's a true QB prospect in waiting, it makes sense why he doesn't have freshman tape with Zollers in front of him. This is a name I'll be stashing for the future. Others recruiting the air should do the same. </p>    <p></p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Mason Scott has reached the next level, many not in the know wonder if Zollers has a main option to throw too. I happened to watch Spring-Ford and Methacton live last Fall, with Marsilio catching my eye on more than one occasion. Marsilio is my pick to skyrocket in terms of production and recruiting interest. 6'1, 195 pounds, spent time behind Mase Scott and Belal Abdelrahman, two trust-worthy 2024 targets who are no longer options for Zollers. Thankfully, SF has Marsilio they can deploy, a young man who has blossomed and developed alongside 2025 classmate and quarterback. Unreal strength as a wideout, can come down with balls thrown to him despite being draped by defenders. Great tracking ability, is in tune with Zollers when plays break down. Ton of inside/outside slot alignments last Fall, yet Marsilio has the versatility to play as an X, or the one, or outside the numbers. Deceptive at the LOS when working his release, better after the catch than you'd imagine as well. When Marsilio breaks out this coming Fall, I won't be surprised. </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/MarsilioJordan/status/1806784111589126633 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='516299' first='Ryan' last='Kerchner'], the highest-ranking Ram outside of Zollers, will suit up for his junior campaign, being one of the sole returning pass-catchers Zollers gets to work with. Boy is he a good one. Kerchner is a personal favorite of mine, a prospect whose tape I have sent across the country, far and wide. I do so because I'm willing to stamp his current status as one of the more under-recruited prospects in all of Pennsylvania. I preface this by saying things could be much worse, Kerchner has recently heard back from an FCS school in the form of a scholarship offer, it being his first from Harvard. There are plenty of deserving juniors who don't have a lick to their name, yet I'd argue Kerchner is a group of five TE, I have experience seeing what that type of TE looks like, Ryan fits the mold. Maybe suitors are waiting for more production, more undeniable tape. Kerchner could help alleviate any questions with a dominant first month beside Zollers. If I were a betting man, I'd call on Kerchner sooner rather than later. Kerchner currently ranks as the third-best tight end among his 2026 classmates. </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/kerch_8/status/1811544434032673138 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='939671' first='AJ' last='Moyer'] will station in the Spring-Ford trenches, deploying as the glue that will hold this offensive line unit together. Moyer currently serves as the third Top100 prospect on this Ram offense, with Moyer and Kerchner being juniors to Zoller's senior. Moyer and Kerchner's voices will likely boom a bit higher in the huddle, production, experience, and validation can help boost confidence. I have no problem boosting prospects up in the validation department. A lock for FCS love in my opinion. Currently lists as 6'4, 260, measurables that are up and inch and ten pounds since last I checked. Moyer is likely to put forth phenomenal tape junior tape at either tackle spot, yet I wouldn't be surprised to find a potential collegiate suitor flirting with the idea of Moyer moving to IDL.Moyer's first soph rep on tape gives you an understanding of how he was moving as a pulling tackle at 250 pounds. The rest of Moyer's tape has him protecting Zoller's blindside and absolutely bullying kids who can't match his upper and lower body strength. The sole aspect potentially holding Moyer back from FBS looks could be his measurables, even though I'd call his build and physique suitable for IOL play at the highest level. The added eyes Zollers way should have eyes land on Kerchner and Moyer, hopefully providing future opportunities.</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/moyer_aj71/status/1805105545520525347 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">I usually don't watch a prospect unless they have a full seasonal tape out. Spring-Ford's [player_tooltip player_id='1325801' first='Connor' last='Hudak'], an additional IOL piece beside [player_tooltip player_id='939671' first='AJ' last='Moyer'], was an exception to that rule. Hudak has a seven-week tape out, that would have to suffice in terms of an evaluation. Said tape had Hudak move into the Top 300 of a 2025 class filled with over 1,100 fantastic prospects, high praise. Hudak also places as a top 50 senior offensive lineman as well, he's going to be a name I throw to D2s across the Northeast, his tape makes it easy. Will play a major role in the run game, as Hudak can likely serve at guard at either side of the center. Countless reps with both Moyer and Hudak kicking out the entire left side of a front-four, I can't help but laugh at how incredibly powerful Hudak and Moyer's drive capabilities are. Hudak is likely a monster in the weight room, the shock and punch he can deliver, I had no choice but to give him the highest D2 rating I could give. I can't go without mentioning Hudak the IDL. The senior will likely make things difficult for opposing guards as well, he provides quality reps between the tackles on both sides of the football. A prospect you can win because of. </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/moyer_aj71/status/1799591701490901192 </div></figure>    <p></p>    <p class="text-gray-700">We transition to the defensive side of the football where [player_tooltip player_id='1325797' first='Gyasi' last='Romu'] stands as the highest-ranking front-line defender. Barely missing out on Top 300 honors, barely missing out on top 50 positional honors as well, but rest assured, this kid has some juice to his name. 6'2, 205 pounds, can be called an OLB as opposed to DE, but can provide both aligments for Spring-Ford if needed. Carries an athletic profile that suggests he should bend the corner on tackles. Active hands have Romu around turnovers, great motor too. I think Romu, a senior now, can be looked at to provide energy to a front seven that can win the Rams football games. Sack numbers could trend up, I wouldn't be surprised.</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/GyasiRomu/status/1796377398889607665 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Beside Romu is senior Bryce Roberts, who much like Romu, received a high Division 2 grade out of myself. 6'1, 240 pounds, a bit of a beefier presence inside opposed to Romu's athletic profile off the edge. A fantastic finisher. There's some serious attitude brought forth once Roberts gets a hold of you. One of the better IDL one-on-one tacklers you can find, Roberts can blend power and balance well, he isn't just a shot out of a cannon. Fantastic closing speed to the football, looking back at his tape, I find it hard to believe there are 60 DE/EDGE/IDLs better than this kid. An interior disruptor who has his fair share of QB pressure between the B-gaps I might add, this isn't just a beefy run stopper. Spring-Ford will provide a blend of speed and power to opposing offensive fronts. </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/kaiimezzy/status/1724492344760635729 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">A middle linebacker who can sift out plays freely with Romu and Roberts working in front of him. A kid who can work close to the LOS, a kid who can cover a flat or curl zone, a prospect who can run hash to hash to make his presence felt. 6'2, 200 pounds, [player_tooltip player_id='1325930' first='Nick' last='Garzarella'] might be a fit for PSAC schools considering his size and production. His tape might lack "wow" plays, yet Garzarella does more than just get the job done, he's witnessed making up for gap integrity mistakes made by teammates in front of him. Garzarella's instincts more than makeup for poor play in front of him, colleges might like this about the senior backer. Combo Garzarella with Romu and Roberts, you've got a tough front-seven to crack. </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/GarzarellaNick/status/1726413150738677835 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">One of my favorite defensive backs in all of Pennsylvania, I think the young man is vastly under-recruited. Spring-Ford's [player_tooltip player_id='855290' first='Shane' last='Lewis'] will be deployed in the Ram's secondary. Lewis's presence outside the numbers, serving as a true number-one corner option, should have opposing quarterbacks second-guessing themselves when looking his way. Can't name 20 better senior DBs in the state. 5'9, 160 pounds, Lewis's stature might have FCS and D2 schools a bit weary in terms of potential early offers. One look at him live, as well as on tape, I would pushback the notion that Lewis is too small for the next level. Physical and annoying defender who likes to get into the chest and facemask of opposing wideouts. Has experience playing press, can bump and run with eyes on the QB. Comes down from the flat to make tackles with little hesitation, this isn't a pass-first DB, you can get Lewis to be a factor in the run game if need be. Great break on balls coming inside, Lewis uses his hands well to turn and deflect digs, slants, ins, and other in-breaking routes. Excels when he can see the football. Nearly a top 200 senior. </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/ShaneLewis_11/status/1782122743900549328 </div></figure>    <p></p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Here's a sleeper who could help alleviate the loss of Belal Abdelrahman at safety. 6'2, 170 pounds, [player_tooltip player_id='854392' first='Blake' last='Turner']'s tape is a bit limited, with only a minute and a half's worth of quality reps. Turner has shown off good range as a sophomore beside prospects with experience. You can witness Turner help on Lewis's side and come away with interceptions 30+ yards downfield. Size, age, and production have me feeling Turner could be a future star among his 2026 classmates. I ranked Turner as an ATH for a couple of reasons. With some serious names moving on to the next level, SF might want to explore the 6'2 safety at wideout to help alleviate potential chemistry issues. Turner also has the athletic profile to serve as a quality red-zone target for Zollers. Ranked inside the Top 150, just spots below Moyer and Kerchner.</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/Bturner_7/status/1803119502680617005 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1156086' first='Keith' last='Grant'], along with other 2027 prospects [player_tooltip player_id='941177' first='Brandon' last='Bendowski'] and [player_tooltip player_id='953084' first='Dailyn' last='Palmer'], might see a boost in role now that they are no longer freshman. There aren't any seasonal tapes out on either of the three young men I just mentioned, yet I will keep an eye out for any new names that may arise with newfound opportunities. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700"></p>     <p class="text-gray-700"></p>    <p></p>
