Checking in on Six Ranked Uncommitted Senior Prospects

<p class="text-gray-700">A top 150 prospect, ranked by New England lead Roger Silva. Two-way player who acquired a scholarship offer from the University of Maine back in May. Unsure if this offer still holds, as Rivera is still uncommitted at this point. </p>   <p>6'3, a basketball player at Milford. Twitter has been quiet since June. Despite a quiet social, Rivera's Hudl is popping off. Single-game cut-ups from five different games, a three-minute mid-season tape also available. Milford does a great job freeing up Rivera to blitz from the slot, Rivera takes good pursuit angles and can close the gap between he and the ball carrier in a flash. Offensively, Rivera can serve as the primary option in an offense. Has about 3-4 touchdowns recorded on tape, a big-body who serves a big target to throw to downfield. A bit more of a vertical threat than his build suggests. Will keep an eye on recruitment moving forward. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Andrewriivera/status/1789040158974624127 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Ranked a top 15 linebacker by NE lead Roger Silva. Self reports a 3.1 GPA. Temple and Campbell University extended offers to [player_tooltip player_id='1224525' first='Aedan' last='Gonzalez'] this past June, unsure if either still stand at the moment. What's guaranteed is that programs, FBS and FCS alike, still have their eye on Gonzalez at the moment. UMass and UNLV have sent "love" via DM, take this information for what it's worth. Stony Brook has also provided Gonzalez with a game-day invite. </p>   <p>Unsure how this past weekend went, yet Gonzalez has a Week One = scrimmage tape available for all to see on Hudl. Against Grafton Memorial, Gonzalez was flying to the football as usual. Moved laterally with traffic for a couple of run stops. Gonzalez recovered a fumble too, this the cherry on top of a game in which Gonzalez had about 5-6 tackles. We'll keep our eyes peeled on all things Gonzalez in relation to recruiting. </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/AedanGonzalez/status/1838037887868158325 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Former 1st-Team All-State and All-Leaguer. Has one a state title too. Was very fond of the young man back when I was heading the rankings. Still ranked as a top 120 prospect among many talented seniors from all around New England. 6'3, 285 pounds, can double as an interior guard or center. Was heavy on the radar of FCS programs out North. Villanova, Monmouth, both were among a solid crop of schools watching over all things Antonucci Jr. this past offseason. On top of frequent visits via camp and junior days, Antonucci worked hard to earn offers out of Bryant and Rhode Island each coming before mid-July</p>   <p>Hopefully, the two programs have held out for Antonucci, who still hasn't committed to my knowledge. Antonucci posted a first-three that we'll dive into briefly below. </p>   <p>Left guard reps, first rep on tape has Antonucci Jr. 25+ yards downfield finding a DB to steamroll. That he does. Phenomenal grip strength, does a great job using leverage against his opponents. Nasty attitude, looks to drive his matchups into the dirt and does so often. Pulling reps showcased, pass-pro reps showcased. An awesome leg drive capable of negating opposing hand-moves/fighting. Antonucci can shock and drive kids before they have an idea of what's going on. Like the first-three tape a lot. </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/StephenAntonuc5/status/1811888898747805764 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Deemed a top ten linebacker by Roger Silva, high praise. Likely a defensive lineman however, since 2024 tape shows him aligned at NG/IDL, he also weighs 285 pounds. Back-to-back 1st-Team All-Division offensive lineman, this while at St. Raphael Academy in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. A 2024 who has reclassed to 2025 after the move to Cheshire Academy. </p>   <p>Before the transfer and re-class announcement was made, [player_tooltip player_id='404356' first='Khamari' last='Brown'] held early-2024 offers out of Bryant and Rhode Island. Unsure if these offers still stand, however. Since Brown's reclassification, the senior DL and former SRA basketball player has picked up an offer out of Sacred Heart University. Love the effort witnessed against the Brunswick School in Week One. The Brunswick school deploys a stout OL unit, so nothing comes easy. Brown was able to create substantial pushback, occupy his gap, shed laterally, and clog up adjacent holes. Brown recorded a TFL on tape too. An obvious prospect to recruit, especially now at Cheshire Academy. </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/KhamariB_66/status/1835322454425903315 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='405635' first='Jayden' last='Bright'], a name that rings a bell to most covering and recruiting New England. Holds many accolades, some like the POY in New Hampshire, as well as being named to an all-state team three times in a row. Spent majority of his time at Souhegan HS in Amherst, New Hampshire. Bright has since relocated to Phillips Exeter where he will be pursuing a grad year. 3.5 GPA. Before the move to PEA, Bright held offers out of Rochester, Trinity, Catholic, and St. Anselm. These all came in 2023. This past July, Bright would receive an offer to Merrimack, this school is where he is currently favored to land. </p>   <p>Bright has lent a helping hand to Phillip Exeter early into the 2024 season. Four touchdowns accounted for in two games, 2 sacks and 3 TFLs to boot. Bright, who is currently ranked as a top ten back on our lists, has always provided quality two-way reps, this hasn't changed with the change of scenery. Bright left his mark on two quality programs, those being against Cheshire Academy and Suffield Academy. His stock is up. </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/JJBright0/status/1837867340026822856 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">One of the better New England prospects currently unoffered. I remember liking [player_tooltip player_id='1294547' first='Ben' last='Howard']'s tape years back, so much so that I ranked him inside the Top100. Howard is still close to that ranking now, proving that I'm not the only one intrigued by the 6'4, 225-pound DE/EDGE prospect. A Malden Catholic basketball player, worth mentioning. </p>   <p>Was hoping to see a first-three out of Howard on Hudl, that hasn't come out quite yet. Howard has what looks like a couple of scrimmages posted on Hudl over a month ago. Howard also has a clip from this past weekend showcasing his prowess off the edge. Three sacks to his name, a PBU, some TFLs, I'll be sure to post that clip below. </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/CoachPompilus/status/1836832651963228328 </div></figure>
