The 2026 prospect was recently committed to Virginia Tech, but opened his recruitment in November. Since then Peyton has picked up offers from Buffalo, West Virginia, Marshall, Rutgers, Utah, and Iowa. Rutgers Head Coach Greg Schiano took a trip to visit Falzone at school Jan. 23rd. He surprised Falzone by showing up in a helicopter onto the practice field. Peyton is one of the hottest players on the recruiting trail right now. It'll be fun to continue tracking his recruitment. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["919530"],"_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-6799aa142563b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='919530' first='Shacre' last='Colwell'] is one of the most intriguing players in the entire EPC. The 6'2' / 160lb (WR) prospect has the ability to go up and catch any ball thrown his way. Colwell picked up his first Division 1 offer from Toledo on April 2nd. He received interest from schools like Liberty and New Hampshire, but neither school pulled the trigger. As of January 27th Colwell has re-classed into the 2026 class. The talented WR prospect will attend St. Thomas More School next season. I was able to watch this prospect in person multiple times. He's extremely talented and I'm excited to see what he does with this opportunity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["281259"],"_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-6799aa1425683"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='281259' first='Carter' last='Troxell'] is a very underrated LB out of Whitehall HS. The first thing I want to mention is that this is a kid that broke Saquon Barkley's HS Power Clean record at 15 years old. Carter received lots of Division 1 interest. Taking visits to schools like Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Cornell, Penn, Monmouth, and Dartmouth. On December 15th Troxell picked up his first offer from Kutztown University. He would accept that offer and commit to the Golden Bears on January 20th. This is a solid pick up for the very talented Kutztown team. Lot's of upside with a prospect like Carter. Excited to watch his journey in the always competitive PSAC. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1433109"],"_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-6799aa14256c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1433109' first='Aaron' last='Beete'] was one of if not the most electric player in the EPC in 2024.

Aaron was named Northampton Division Most Valuable Player, East Penn Conference (EPC) 1st Team Running Back, East Penn Conference (EPC) 1st Team Safety, and All Northampton Division 1st Team Running Back. On Jan. 8th he picked up his first offer from Kutztown University. On Jan. 25th East Stroudsburg also offered the electric RB prospect. Beete would decide to commit to Kutztown on Jan. 27th.

On a 1-On-1 ball it's rare that you don't see him coming down with the football. This is a 6'3' | 190lb prospect that can jump through the ceiling. I was super high on JC after seeing him during 7v7's this past summer, so I'm extremely happy he proved the doubters wrong. During his recruitment Wilson received interest from ESU around mid-season. On Jan. 24th JC committed to IUP Football. I love seeing all of this EPC talent staying close to home. I'm extremely excited to watch JC and the rest of these PSAC prospects as their careers continue. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
