PRZ Next Combine Series: 5 Offensive Lineman I’m Excited to See

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although I do not delve into the middle school football scene at all, I will dabble in it when there is a Prep Redzone Next event coming to Jersey. After previewing the roster of attendees, here are a handful of prospects that I am excited to see what they bring to the table.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1475453"],"_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-67e6d6f024d88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With yet one more season to play at the middle school level, expect [player_tooltip player_id='1475453' first='Patrick' last='Walsh'] to be a prospect atop many recruiting lists for parochial schools when he is in 8th grade next year. Already at 6'2", the Sayreville youth product will have several options assuming he lives in-or-around Sayreville. Between the parkway, turnpike, and 440, Walsh will have options north, south, and in Staten Island. I am curious to know if he is the younger brother of Connor Walsh, a standout two-way lineman for the bombers a few years ago.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1642200"],"_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-67e6d6f024e0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Like Walsh, [player_tooltip player_id='1642200' first='Jeremiah' last='Ferron'] is only in 7th grade with another year of grooming to go; unlike Walsh, Ferron has already decided his high school commitment. As of now, the 6'2" lineman has decided that in just over a year he will be attending Don Bosco. In this case, the rich continue to get richer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1638732"],"_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-67e6d6f024e59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1638732' first='William' last='Lapp'] is a prospect that I am excited to see for the mere fact that, aside from being 6'2", he seems to have decided to stay and play ball with his hometown high school, Sparta. All the way up in the northwest corner of the state, many would look to Pope John as a destination, but there appears to be some hometown pride with Lapp.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1295971"],"_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-67e6d6f024ea5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Despite the Dark Knights being a program that is close to home for me, I have not made it out there to check on the talent. The program whose charter began with the now-defunct Edison Shamrocks, the Dark Knights have now imported out-of-state talent - if I had to guess, from nearby Staten Island. Justin Golden is that prospect. With an interesting story and the size to boot, I want to get a good look at this current 8th grader. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1646322"],"_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-67e6d6f024eee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect making one of the longer trips to attend deserves a shout out. [player_tooltip player_id='1646322' first='Vincent' last='Nalen'] is coming from the New England-area states to show up and show out this weekend. Being personally ignorant to New England football, I want to see how Nalen reps an entire region when he comes to Jersey. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Event Coverage: Prep Redzone Next Combine Series - New Jersey</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/prz-next-combine-series-5-offensive-lineman-im-excited-to-see">Event Preview: Offensive Linemen</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
