2029 (8th grade) Commitment Tracker: Seton Hall Prep

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Seton Hall Prep football program has seen a number of significant changes throughout it's existence, including numerous conference and group changes. Their football history is rich, with 12 NJSIAA Parochial “A” North Championships, seven Iron Hills Conference-Iron Division Titles and three Super Essex Conference-American Division Titles. That said, the 2025 season will mark a decade-long dry spell since the last championship for the The Prep and this group of 2029 prospects will try to quench that thirst. Take a look at who's committed as of February 18th, 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1455168"],"_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-67b4aae826963"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Union County native.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Part of a talented and crowded backfield that helped the Dark Knights make a nice run in the UYFL National Championship Tournament in 2024.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Quickly became a fan of the rocked up Running Back/Linebacker.
