NY Recruiting Report Pt. XXIV

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NY Football Start Week! Catholic schools in NYC got a head start while the rest of the state began their operations this weekend and practice on Monday. This week, we saw the continuation of a lot of Division III offers going out as most of those schools started up camps and even have started to send out invites. With FBS and FCS games creeping up, those programs have turned their focus from offers to gameday invites and focusing on their season, but one special prospect in New York was able to add to his strong list of FBS offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out last week's recruiting report <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/08/ny-recruiting-report-pt-xxiii/">HERE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Offers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["806911"],"_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-66c4ba41b4e40"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Earnst is a part of a very strong group of RBs coming out of Section VI and he has a great build to be a workhorse both this season and at the next level at 200+ pounds.

Still, he has shown through his game tape in the fall and several camp performances, both stuff I have seen live and through what he has posted on Twitter, that he has a solid base and is consistent in his ability to anchor. Below, Catoggio has some clips from the 2023 Downstate Classic against some FBS and FCS level D-Line prospects from New York, and you can see how well he uses his hands in conjunction with his lower body in pass protection.<br><br><a href="https://x.com/catoggio_lucas/status/1663735142433583106">https://x.com/catoggio_lucas/status/1663735142433583106</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the next level Catoggio still will have to continue to add some weight and strength as do most lineman overall, and with his quickness and ability to snap out of his stance I think there is some potential for him to play both guard and center for Holy Cross in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
