<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The All Catholic Team comprised of 6 Schools (Canisius, St. Joe's, St. Francis, Timon, St. Mary's and Cardinal O'Hara) has just been released. Below are the following student-athletes that had remarkable seasons on the defensive side of the ball within the Monsignor Martin Athletic Association.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Defensive Line</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='505525' first='Mason' last='Alnutt'] (Canisius) - UNLV commit that had a monster senior season against opposing offenses. Alnutt has solid size at 6'4 250 lbs and is very quick off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gabe Farley (Bishop Timon) - A standup EDGE rusher with decent hands and can react well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will Hardy (Bishop Timon) - A quick footed DT that attacks with solid tenacity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='747229' first='Michael' last='Harris'] (St. Francis) - Harris had a solid season on both sides of the ball but his future lies on the defensive line with excellent size and has gained some Division 1 recognition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Amare Wallace (Canisius) - Wallace has had stellar junior and senior years at Canisius, registering over 100 tackles and 10 sacks. He attacks well and has sound read-and-reaction timing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1624527' first='Kayden' last='Wayne'] (Canisius) - Wayne had a breakout season in 2024 with 86 tackles at MLB. With excellent awareness and sound technique, Kayden will be a player to watch as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Linebackers</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1293300' first='David' last='Amuka'] (St. Joes) - After recording 93 tackles as a sophomore, Amuka exceeded expectations in his first season at Joe's. David uses his hands well and has great tackling form. Expect a repeat performance as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1577258' first='Peyton' last='Brock'] (St. Joe's) - A three year varsity starter, Brock has made a name for himself playing OL/DL and even FB in his junior year. Peyton is a big, physical player that will get a lot of collegiate looks after his remarkable senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>London Cobb (Bishop Timon) - A big framed ILB that is good at attacking blockers head on with aggressiveness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1283649' first='Jeremiah' last='Guerrero'] (St. Joe's) - Actually listed as a DL, Guerrero is an excellent prospect with great block shedding technique.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1345135' first='Amir' last='Hernandez'] (Canisius) - Hernandez is the only MMHSAA player to make the All Catholic team on both offense and defense. With good awareness and an outstanding junior performance, he was an unsung hero to the Crusaders 2024 championship run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='807867' first='Tavio' last='Hoose'] (St. Francis) - Hoose made noise as a sophomore as a small school product but his move to St. Francis proved to be fruitful as his talents translated with speed and quickness. His strength is noteworthy as well. He was second on the Red Raiders in tackles and sacks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='806442' first='Kamron' last='Lattimore'] (Bishop Timon) - This is Lattimore's 3rd time making the All Catholic team. He is a good tackler and has the ability to shed blocks well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='806776' first='Arno' last='Mbaiyo'] (Canisius) - Mbaiyo was a huge addition to the Canisius defense, leading the team with 94 tackles. Arno plays with ruthless aggression and has solid fundamentals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jacob Suffoletto (St. Francis) - Suffoletto is a name new to me but he showed some talent as the St. Francis Weakside EDGE rusher with good agility and quickness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Defensive Backs</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Joe Elkhoury (St. Mary's) - A quick FS with agility to match. Elkhoury also has a nose for the ball with 5 takeaways on the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1743148' first='Darnell' last='Galimore'] (Canisius) - A first year varsity player, Galimore was on a team full of studs but held his own with sounds athleticism and excellent body control. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='747245' first='Eli' last='Greenough'] (St. Francis) - Greenough is a solid DB that can line up at FS or cover the slot. He also led the Red Raiders in tackles with 71 and was a factor on special teams as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284019' first='Giorgio' last='Panepinto'] (St. Joe's) - Panepinto could have just as easily made the All Catholic team as a RB with over 1,000 all purpose yards but he is an effective Safety. Gio plays with a high football IQ and is an extraordinary athlete that college recruiters should take note of.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
