What differentiates this set of prospects from the rest is that from the ashes of the watchlist, they rose and are here to stay. Below are a handful of prospects that were watchlisted and, immediately upon film review, shot toward the top of our rankings for the class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["823165"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66cf4af02fb9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The more and more I see of the Cherry Hill area football, the more I am impressed. West's [player_tooltip player_id='823165' first='Dominic' last='Canzano'] is another very good defensive linemen in a deep class of them. Canzano has a good get off and hugs the line in order to gain that advantage. Both rip and swim moves are available to him. As he keeps his feet moving, Canzano keeps working and is able to cross face on plays away. Often getting through unblocked, he makes plays in the backfield by getting in the hip pocket of pulling guards when he is at his best. Playing straight gap responsibility, he can separate, get his head into his gap, and then make plays into the adjacent gap. Hustling and pursuing plays, Canzano is a great gap-penetrating interior lineman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17800137/6543c9eb664bdb13b810bbda' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66cf4af02ff36"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dcanzano99/status/1734213991398871061","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/dcanzano99/status/1734213991398871061 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["606208"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66cf4af02ffd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There might be a school change necessary here, as it appears [player_tooltip player_id='606208' first='Dorian' last='Kelsey'] has added to the embarrassment of riches in Glassboro. What Coach Breaker is getting in Kelsey is an edge defender who can gain the corner with speed. Not shabby in the run either, he can get hands on and win up top. Kelsey has two very good first steps out of his stance as well. Fundamentally sound, we see Kelsey get his long arms on men stepping down, as he steps and squeezes appropriately. With a sturdy base and strong upper body he sheds blocks well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18340154/650e69a15ca90f1274eebcc8' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66cf4af030011"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dorian_kelsey/status/1805102556919607449","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/dorian_kelsey/status/1805102556919607449 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1043531"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66cf4af030099"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rancocas Valley had some standout defenders last year. Lost in the hype of it all was an outstanding running back who looks to run it back for more in [player_tooltip player_id='1043531' first='Jameer' last='Bellamy']. Bellamy has both the ability to make good jump cuts or stick it and get upfield off of one cut. To gain additional yardage we see him cut upfield with his shoulders nearly parallel to the sideline and even back cut at times. With forward lean while he runs, Bellamy certainly falls forward for extra yardage. He has the ability to beat most to the sideline and is apt at creating space for himself. Lastly, Bellamy really gets going in the open field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18631714/65767aabb0191c08f0a1dc97' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66cf4af0300cf"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JameerBellamy/status/1802047654550974798","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/JameerBellamy/status/1802047654550974798 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["995371"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66cf4af030154"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cedar Creek looks to establish and claim the line of scrimmage as their own with edge player [player_tooltip player_id='995371' first='Justus' last='Peyton']. Peyton has the ability to be a chasing bender from the backside. Getting hands on the main in front of him, he feels pressure and can rip off to keep contain when playing the pass or against reach blocks - something he does very, very well. Well coached, Peyton will bend and get low for tackles and do so with his shoulder. Additionally, we see him utilize the arm over very well. Instincts, or maybe it is film study, are on display as he plays the running back flare to his side well. Lastly, Peyton will match the hand if he cannot get home on drop backs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19533147/6563a44f4797c708ac95e7f5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66cf4af03018a"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/juskiis/status/1803593359405072814","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/juskiis/status/1803593359405072814 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
