Pennsylvania Stock-Risers, 7 Prospects Who Outplayed Their Rank

<ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>248 passing yards, 174 rushing yards, 4 TDs - Chartiers Valley</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>167 passing yards, 100 rushing, 3 TDs - Shaler</li> </ul>   <p>Seven touchdowns in two games, South Fayette's Welhorsky is epitomizing the "ATH" designation. His numbers over the past two weeks also prove that he should be ranked among the top 300, not 62 paces outside of that threshold. Welhorsky saw a considerable jump this offseason, yet the dual-threat athlete is showing his off-season leap might not have taken him far enough up our ranks. 100+ rushing yards in each game, 150+ passing yards in each as well. Tough prospect to gameplan against clearly. All t's should be crossed before lining up across this young man. 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/DWelhorsky/status/1827412670288429125 </div></figure>     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>325 passing yards, 74 rushing yards, 5 TDs - Union/ACV</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>222 passing yards, 21 rushing yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT </li> </ul>   <p>Nine touchdowns accounted for in two games. No, that interception in the above stat line wasn't thrown by Redbank Valley's [player_tooltip player_id='1054311' first='Braylon' last='Wagner'], he was the one doing the picking. Wagner will always predicate throwing the football versus tucking and running, yet it's encouraging to see the junior passer utilize his feet. Defensive reps prove he's a better-than-average athlete, rushing yards each week are icing on the cake. 500+ passing yards racked up already, I'm not surprised. Wagner is embedded in a historically talented junior quarterback class, yet I can't help but feel there aren't 24 better QBs out there after two weeks of PA football being played. We will see. Stock is rising.</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/RVBulldogs/status/1827329626646913331 </div></figure>     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>254 passing yards, 65 rushing yards, 3 TDs - Neshannock</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>157 rushing yards, 132 passing yards, 3 TDs - Laurel</li> </ul>   <p>No tape on Hudl yet, no way of contacting him via Twitter which is fine. The gaudy numbers are still being reported. Numbers like this usually aren't being spat out by a prospect ranked outside the Top 400 of his class, yet here we are. More games like this and Fadden is going to force my hand. A ranking lift is likely incoming. The Mohawk Area junior has accounted for six touchdowns in two games. Wish I could see the tape. Much like Welhorsky, Fadden was previously ranked as a two-way "ATH" on our lists. Fadden ability to churn out passing and rushing yards proves he'll likely be recruited away from the quarterback position. Excited to eventually see some tape.</p>     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>8 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 TFLs, 2 PBUs<br><br>Currently on our WL, more games like this out of DeLecce and he'll end up on our ranks in no time. Taking a peek at his Neumann-Goretti tape, Roman likes to keep an offense guessing in terms of pre-snap alignment. One rep you can find DeLecce manning the SCB position, next he's on the LOS with the task of blitzing off the edge, next he's doing something positive on special teams. Take a look at the stat line, you don't see too many 175-pound DB/LBs recording sacks, TFLs, and PBUs. DeLecce is doing that early into the year. He might prove to be much more valuable to the Roman defense than I had previously imagined. Although likely unneeded, I'm sure DeLecce's skillset could transfer over to the offensive side of the ball. Versatility is this kid's strong suit.<br><br></li> </ul>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JojoDeLecce21/status/1830261935184723971 </div></figure>     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>6 receptions, 144 yards, 2 TDs / 7 tackles - New Castle</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>6 receptions, 130 yards - Harbor Creek</li> </ul>   <p>12 receptions, 250+ receiving yards to start the season, tack on two scores. Doesn't look like a production line out of a prospect outside of the Top 500 in his class, yet it is one. If General McLane senior [player_tooltip player_id='1131285' first='Jacob' last='Zietz'] continues on the current tear he's on, he's going to boost his rank. More importantly, he's going to boost his stock among potential collegiate suitors. Better size than I had previously imagined. 6'1, 175 pounds, up a good 10-15 pounds since we last updated his measurables. Producing at this size, running track and playing basketball, Ziets is building a solid recruiting resume with each passing week. Not to mention he self-reports a 3.78 GPA. Check out an unreal highlight play out of Zietz 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/JacobZietz/status/1830413876208246907 </div></figure>     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>263 passing yards, 4 TDs - Bartram<br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='1054288' first='Jalen' last='Cintron'] is a relatively low-ranked quarterback who, to his credit, tore through a Bartram secondary in Week Zero. I will hold off to see more production against better competition before I announce he's deserving of a better grade. The McCaskey senior currently ranks outside of the Top 600 in his class, he's a likely candidate for Division Three football in his area, yet there are only so many spots to come by. 3.4 GPA, I'm a bit out of the loop as far knowing how he performed this past weekend, yet Cintron is in good favor currently after a four-touchdown performance on opening week. Staying on this tear might draw eyes of PSAC schools. </li> </ul>     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>182 rushing yards, 2 TDs</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>224 rushing yards, 4 TDs, 1 reception for 14 yards, 1 passing TD</li> </ul>   <p>I applaud [player_tooltip player_id='1122484' first='Raymond' last='Holman'] on numerous fronts. First, the gaudy numbers he's putting up with each passing Friday night. Second, Holman already has his Week 1/2 highlights up on Hudl as we speak. Accounted for seven total touchdowns in two games, with one of those touchdowns coming through the air, the Senior back showing off his complete skillset. Awesome size, size that has him sticking out like a sore thumb. Holman's ability to break into the open field and hit home runs will undoubtedly have him garnering attention to any and all media/coaches present at Morrisville games. Four spots away from the Top 200, this ranking updated in the off-season. Holman is proving he'll be a steal at the PSAC level. I'm one willing to say Holman grades out at the FCS level, whether D1 or D2, some program needs to pounce on this young man sooner rather than later. His overt athleticism could be experimented with at the next level too, he doesn't have to force into the running back mold. DB, wideout, back, you name it. 400+ rushing yards in two games. </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/raymond_holman4/status/1829589769736818761 </div></figure>
