An exciting time for these prospects, and you will see some of this increased recruiting attention reflected in my 2026 Rankings coming out shortly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Committed:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401338"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1599164,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6782c3030e1c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Just yesterday BJ made his commitment to Syracuse, giving Coach Brown his verbal over offers from the likes of Rutgers, Maryland, WVU, VT, Pitt and more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>BJ is one of the top DE prospects in the 2026 class and one of the top WRs overall in MD/DC/DE 2026 rankings. He is a big X receiver who can get vertical and go up and get the ball.&nbsp;With strong reliable hands he will come down with tough catches. A nice athlete as well, he is a leaper with can get YAC with a smooth long stride and solid straight line speed/acceleration. BJ is a strong get for Cuse going forward and see him having plenty of future success in their offensive scheme. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Offers:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314866"],"_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-6782c3030e24d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alex is a player I saw live earlier this year and his athleticism cannot be ignored. Now as of this week it hasn't been as he picked up his first offer from Cornell. With his 3.8 GPA it is no surprise that an IVY school would be after him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a sophomore he mainly played WR but took over the QB duties this year. Dynamic with the ball in his hands, Alex can scramble &amp; run for big chunks of yards. He possesses a long stride with shifty hips and good wiggle making him tough to get a clean hit on in open field. Throwing the ball Alex is capable of uncorking the ball down the field with good velocity and arm strength. Overall he is a high end athlete ( basketball player as well) and could see him playing multiple positions at the next level depending on scheme and how teams want to use his skill set. I expect plenty more offers to come Alex's way this winter &amp; spring from D1 schools. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1599168"],"_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-6782c3030e2dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaden is a prospect who will be on the rise this offseason and he just picked up his first offer a few days ago from Georgetown Univ. I got to get eyes on Jaden earlier this season in South River's game against Arundel; and even though is was a tough day for South River Jaden was still able to make an impression.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaden finished the season with over 1,200 yards receiving, which set a school record and had 17 TDs on the year. He is a tall long big WR, standing 6'3" and with a frame that will fill out well with strength. A basketball player as well he show the ability to go up and high point the ball with nice body control &amp; ball skills, finding it in the air and beating the defender to come down with the catch. A dangerous deep ball threat, Jaden is quick to accelerate past DBs and has shown some impressive route running as well. With Jaden's combination of size &amp; athleticism, many more schools will be coming out to see him and with intentions to offer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1599170"],"_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-6782c3030e322"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden is an OT with plenty of size and potential, and that was noticed by Syracuse this past week as they gave him his first offer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good body kid, Jayden carries 290 well and is a not a sloppy body OL. He plays with nice power to go with good bend and pop off the snap. Jayden possesses nice feet, can get out and go wether pulling or rising up to the LB at the second level. A player who will only get more dominate as he continues to get stronger and coached up. Jayden has a very high ceiling that will catch the attention of many more D1 programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["377619"],"_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-6782c3030e383"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Edward continues to show why he is one of the top OL for the MD/DC/DE area in the 2026 class. He picked up two more offers this past week from Pittsburgh &amp; Virginia, putting his total at 15 D1 offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A mauler of an offensive lineman who can play OT or OG, Edward is physical and dominate in the trenches. He can also get up to the second level showing nice athleticism for his size, with quick choppy active feet. Edward shows he can keep a strong solid base, not getting off balance. staying in the defenders chest before proceeding to bury them in the dirt. I like his strength, aggressiveness and motor as an lineman, finishing every play. Don't be surprised if he is a 20+ offer prospect by the end of this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314850"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1599438,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67830162a934f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brittin picked up his second D1 offer this past week, adding Cornell to go along with a Delaware offer he received earlier this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Putting together an exception junior season, Leading Middletown to a the 2A/1A state semi-finals. On the year Brittin put up 30 total TDs, 20 passing and 10 rushing. With a strong arm, he can get off a long deep ball to receivers down the field. Can also throw with touch and accuracy, able to get it up&amp;down over defenders into windows. Brittin is also a strong runner, able to scramble for big gains or extend the play with smart pocket mobility and throw well on the run. An impressive all around athlete who comes from an athletic family, and a high 3.8 GPA, Brittin has shown he can be a do it all QB that plenty of college coaches will want to get eyes on this off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
