Eight 2029 Football Prospects To Know Early In Massachusetts

As the calendar reaches the halfway point of August, the PRZ Next focus shifts to evaluating the class of 2029-2031. With that comes fresh faces mixed with some talent that has reclassed. The eight prospects below are some of the more-talented prospects in this 2029 class from Massachusetts, that I've gotten an opportunity to take a look at. There will be literally dozens, if not over 100 more kids covered, but this is a nice place to start in New England for the 2024-2025 cycle.    An Arlington, Mass. native with excellent size, he already stands a reported 6-foot-3 and 250-pounds as of August 2024. He's a wide load that has played both school ball and Pop Warner ball ahead of this year, his eighth-grade season. I like him on the interior of both the OL and DL right now, but depending on how his feet come along, I wouldn't rule out Offensive Tackle yet.     Kenney is the early leader in the club house when it comes to the top Offensive Line prospects in Massachusetts for the class of 2029. He, like nearly every player in this write up, is a reclass prospect--but would have made the 2028 New England watchlist regardless. He lives in the weight room and is the definition of versatility when it comes to line play, as he can literally line up at any spot on the O-Line and D-Line.     Baker has made a name for himself over the last few seasons by playing for some of the better-known programs (TenFold, Mattapan, Mass Elite Football, etc.) in The Bay State. While I don't have specifics on size right now, he has a wiry build with ball skills and above average speed being the differentiators. Prior to this upcoming 2024 season, Baker has taken snaps at every skill position on the offensive side of the ball. Defensively, he attacks the edge and darts into the backfield regularly.     Without mincing words, [player_tooltip player_id='889334' first='Jahir' last='Charles'] has a real shot to be the number one QB in Massachusetts for the class of 2029 when all is said and done. Another reclassed prospect that would have made the 2028 New England list if he decided to hit the HS ranks this year. Fundamentals are through the roof, football IQ is extremely advanced and he the dual-threat ability to make people pay. There's a ton to like here.     Nauyokas is a prospect that should hopefully make the most of his reclass year this upcoming season. He played Left Tackle last year for a very good Hingham team and reportedly did not give up a sack the entire season. On film he generates a lot of power once he gets his hands on a guy and takes what the defense gives him. He could really turn it up a notch this year with quicker hands and by staying lower to win those leverage battles.     A Wide Receiver/Defensive Back prospect that has already established himself as one of the best two-way athletes in Massachusetts, as of August 2024. He enters his reclassed eighth-grade season battle-tested after playing with TenFold, Mass Elite Football and of course his team at The Fessenden School. He's a great option as a Wide Receiver, but I really like him on the defensive side of the ball right now--can play Safety or Cornerback. Long limbs and reliable hands too.     Following the trend of super-talented reclassed kids, Muldoon is a Linebacker that would have made my 2028 New England list if he entered high school this year--so he clearly becomes a name to know in 2029. Possesses sideline to sideline ability as a Middle Linebacker. A year ago he was a huge part of the defense on a special Springfield Tigers AYF team, which was fittingly quarterbacked by [player_tooltip player_id='889334' first='Jahir' last='Charles'] (listed above).     Our head New England high school scout Roger Silva came back from the Mass Elite Football camp this past June and was absolutely raving about [player_tooltip player_id='1312921' first='Steven' last='Ciampoli']...and I can see why. The North Reading native checks every box when it comes to projecting the future of a pre-high school Defensive Lineman. At 6-foot-3 and 225-pounds he's well proportioned with a frame that would have any coach in America drooling. Can see him as a Defensive End or Defensive Tackle depending on how he continues to fill out, because he's already thick and powerful. All the talk about strength aside, his feet are also in sync with his upper body--a plus from his work on the basketball court. He was the unanimous MVP at the Mass Elite Football camp and is an obvious front-runner for being the top 2029 DL in Massachusetts.
