The Bergen Catholic WR prospect was also named MVP at Michigan camp and looks to be a part of a really strong Bergen Catholic offense this season. He did not register a stat against IMG Academy, but Bergen Catholic's offense looks to have a lot more success as the season goes on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["827400"],"_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-66c4bb30ebc05"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Downes, who is from Long Island, originally moved to Florida and spent some time with IMG Academy.

In 2024, McNeil has picked up 6 D1 offers from UConn, JMU, Akron, Arkansas St, West Virginia, and his most recent, which came this month from Penn State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
