PSR Big Camp Series, New Jersey: Defensive Line, Volume I

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Saturday, May 10th, 2025 I was welcomed back for the third year in a row to cover Coach Nick Pennisi's&nbsp;<em>PSR Big Camp Series</em>&nbsp;hosted at Monroe High School in Monroe, New Jersey. As I have come to expect, this event was packed with participation, loaded with talent, and ran extremely well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Different than other events, Pennisi opted to have three different check-in times, based on position groupings. This afforded me the opportunity to get a closer look at many of the prospects in attendance. Below are just some of my notes on the position group mentioned in this article's title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If [player_tooltip player_id='1676452' first='Dante' last='Severiano'] is any indication, a resurgence from Fort Lee might be in play soon. When pass rushing Severiano showed that he throws his hips through as he looks to bend that tight corner. I do, however, want to see more snap and violence when he does so... [player_tooltip player_id='1215986' first='Jah'quan' last='Anderson'] from Plainfield looks like he took some offensive reps at the camp. From what I saw Anderson did a very good job of staying on front of his matchups, and does so due to the fact he maintains a great base. I do, however, want to see Anderson anchor when he gets bulled.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1283916' first='Anthony' last='Pryor'] is a name that I have heard of since his freshman year, where he broke the varsity lineup, yet I could not find any film. Fast-forward to seasons later and Pryor is not only ranked due to film, but I now had the opportunity to watch him live. Pryor wins due to a very good get off. In a forest of tall bodies and limbs, Pryor, who stands at 5'10", managed to get home by swimming a taller matchup - something I am not sure I had seen before... One thing I liked about [player_tooltip player_id='1676453' first='Jacob' last='Hill'] was that he had a true motor. Hill kept coming at you, working and grinding, until he was king of the kill. Adding to his motor, the Dickinson product also executed a great double swipe.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There might not have been a prospect with more potential for an explosive get off than [player_tooltip player_id='1676458' first='Daysun' last='Looby']. From Hillside, Looby had really good bend and power angles in his stance. This causes him to have a good looking loaded stance with tons of potential energy... There might not have been a more focused prospect on what he was doing in the moment than [player_tooltip player_id='1676457' first='Sami' last='Hage']. Making the short trip from Mercer County's Notre Dame, Hage really keyed in on finishing his moves. When doing so, he kept his eyes on his first test - the man in front of him - before worrying about the quarterback. There was emphasis and finish in everything he did. Hage also executed his moves tight to the body of his offensive matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In my coverage of the prospects out of Cherry Hill, I have come to expect productive, good looking prospects. [player_tooltip player_id='1676460' first='Onanefe' last='Pela'] adds to that list. I thought that Pela's build was ideal for a 'tweeter lineman who could play both inside and outside at the next level. With enough frame to add weight to, Pela also has solid hand use... Repping his home town and host school was Monroe Township's [player_tooltip player_id='1676462' first='Engjel' last='Imeri']. Imeri had a good get off that caused offensive linemen to immediately get on skates and retreat. It appears that Imeri's go-to is his speed move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marquis Purvis gets highlighted to conclude this article since he came all the way from Maryland to compete. From the start, Purvis has a good get off. This get off allows him to beat opponents off the edge with his speed. As the day went on, I was impressed with Purvis' hands - particularly how he kept them tight to control the offensive lineman's chest. In the same breath, Purvis delivered outstanding arm-over moves and got home on the pin &amp; spin. Purvis was offsides at moments, particularly in the finals where all eyes were on him, everyone became spectators, and we all crowded up, circling around him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PSR Big Camp Series, New Jersey Event Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/psr-big-camp-series-new-jersey-defensive-backs-volume-i">Defensive Backs, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/psr-big-camp-series-new-jersey-linebackers-volume-i">Linebackers, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/psr-big-camp-series-new-jersey-offensive-line-volume-i">Defensive Line, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/psr-big-camp-series-new-jersey-quarterbacks-volume-i">Quarterbacks, Volume 1</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
