Defensive Prospects Taking Massive Leaps This Upcoming Season

[player_tooltip player_id='1198324' first='Sincere' last='Charles'] out of Barringer brings a rare mix of size, leverage, and disruption. At 6'3”, 285, he's built to cause problems up front. He plays both sides of the line, but his upside pops on defense. His wrestling background shows—he knows how to generate power from his lower half and plays with consistent leverage.   Sincere flashes a quick get-off, active hands, and the ability to penetrate. He's a natural disruptor against the run and has pass-rush tools that continue to develop. He still needs to improve his ability to anchor and control gaps, but that'll come with reps and growth. As interior pass rushers gain more value at every level, Sincere fits the mold of a prospect who can rise fast. Expect a big camp season and some early offers to follow.   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">offical Junior SZN highlight reel CO2026 OL/DL 6'2 258<a href="https://t.co/IEUspGpKrH">https://t.co/IEUspGpKrH</a>— Sincere (@sincere_SFG) <a href="https://twitter.com/sincere_SFG/status/1867389633589653588?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 13, 2024</a></blockquote>     [player_tooltip player_id='1558123' first='Logan' last='Nagle'] from DePaul Catholic has quietly become one of the most complete edge prospects in New Jersey. At 6'3”, 270, he already looks the part of a college-ready defender. He's picked up strong Division I interest, and it's easy to see why on tape.   Logan brings power and size, but his improved pass-rush toolbox is what jumps out. He's added polish to his game—mixing moves, staying low, and finishing plays. He's also a high-motor defender who chases down plays from the backside and holds edge discipline. Logan doesn't always get the spotlight, but this season could change that. Expect a breakout campaign that firmly puts him in the conversation among the state's best defensive linemen.      Ryan Moyer is a true all-around football player. At 6'3”, 220, he lines up at tight end, running back, and linebacker—and makes an impact at every spot.   Offensively, he catches well, runs with power, and finishes blocks. Defensively, he's versatile enough to play on the line or drop back as an off-ball linebacker. He's instinctive, tough, and rarely out of position.   Gettysburg offered him as a defensive prospect, and it's easy to see why. He checks every box in terms of physicality and football IQ. As he continues to develop, Ryan has the tools to climb higher and surprise a lot of people at the next level.      Jason Hall out of St. Joe's Regional is one of the more balanced edge rushers in New Jersey's 2026 class. At 6'2”, 230, he's sturdy enough to hold the edge and quick enough to disrupt plays in the backfield.   What stands out most is his discipline. Jason doesn't over-pursue. He plays within himself and always seems to be in the correct position, whether it's setting the edge in the run game or collapsing the pocket. His hands are active, his footwork is clean, and his fluidity as a rusher makes him a tough assignment for tackles.   He first flashed at the PSR Combine and backed it up on film. Jason is the type of edge prospect who might not wow you right away, but the more you watch, the more you realize just how valuable he is. Expect his stock to keep rising.        Carter Stumpf plays with physicality and purpose. At 6'2”, 205, the Bordentown linebacker thrives when attacking downhill. He takes on blocks with force and consistently finds a way to disrupt plays in the backfield.   Whether he's blitzing through gaps or coming off the edge, Carter shows a knack for pressuring the quarterback. His tape even flashes intense athleticism, highlighted by an impressive interception in coverage.   He's a reliable tackler with great instincts and upside as a true playmaker. With more exposure, Carter has the tools to rise fast in the linebacker ranks this fall.
