Recruiting Around the State

Jones received his first offer from Howard University, showcasing his strong football instincts. With impressive awareness, he consistently demonstrates quick play recognition, allowing him to make key plays on the ball or against the ball carrier. In man-to-man coverage, he stays in phase and plays through his opponent's chest, maintaining strong positioning. Additionally, Jones excels in open-field tackling, never hesitating to come downhill and deliver a sound, fundamental tackle.       Ellis recently received his first offer from Howard University and was named to the second team All-WCAC. He showcases exceptional playmaking ability, demonstrating impressive ball skills and body control. With the ball in his hands, Ellis becomes a dynamic threat, effortlessly splitting defenders and making opponents miss in tight spaces.       Snell recently received offers from both Bryant and Stony Brook. He plays with a chip on his shoulder, consistently delivering powerful hits on ball carriers. As a hard-hitting defensive back, Snell flies around the line of scrimmage, showcasing his speed and aggression. He fights through blocks with both power and determination, often delivering the blow to the blocker. Despite a shortened six-game season, Snell finished with 23 tackles, one sack, and one interception.       Connelly recently received an offer from Hampshire, adding to his growing list of scholarships, which includes Pittsburgh, ECU, and Marshall, among others. Standing at 6'3", he is already an imposing physical specimen. Connelly plays with explosiveness, consistently coming downhill and delivering powerful hits. Despite his height, he possesses the athleticism to stay with receivers in coverage and even demonstrates versatility by playing receiver on offense.       Johnson received his first offer from the University of Maryland in February and earned another offer from Stony Brook this month. After serving as a veteran starter at Mt. Carmel, Johnson made the move to Good Counsel in the WCAC. He is a key addition to the defense, having recorded six interceptions—one of which was a pick-six—causing fumbles, and excelling as a dynamic return man. Expect to hear Johnson's name called frequently this season at Good Counsel, as he transitions from a program known for its "dog mentality."
