Underrated Prospect Deep Dive

[player_tooltip player_id='1300160' first='Daniel' last='Lewis'] from Orange High School is a name to keep tabs on. The 5'11”, 160-pound dual-threat quarterback earned his first Division I offer from Wofford, and it's easy to see why. He's an explosive athlete with quick acceleration and real vision when the ball is in his hands. As a runner, he consistently creates yards beyond what's there—his mobility is a real weapon and sets the tone for Orange's offense.   As a passer, Lewis flashes with his deep ball. He's not a polished thrower just yet—his mechanics can look a bit unorthodox—but he's capable of delivering strikes downfield, especially when flushed from the pocket. What stands out most on tape is how comfortable he looks throwing on the move. These aren't designed bootlegs—these are pressure situations where he escapes and makes something happen.   While he still has room to grow in areas like throwing under pressure from the pocket, there were moments on tape where he stood in, took a hit, and delivered accurately. As a member of the 2027 class, he has time on his side. If he continues to develop his fundamentals and settles into the quarterback position, there's no question he'll continue attracting Division I interest.      [player_tooltip player_id='1205835' first='Justin' last='Simpson'], out of Bridgewater-Raritan, is one of the more underrated offensive linemen in New Jersey—and he just made a significant statement at the PSR Combine. The 6'2”, 285-pound tackle earned his first Division I offer from Bucknell after a strong showing, and it's clear why schools are beginning to take notice.   Simpson stands out for his ability to anchor. His pad level is consistently low, and that's where he wins most of his reps. He plays with natural leverage, which allows him to neutralize defenders effectively. What sets him apart, though, is his lower-body athleticism. He's fluid and mobile, pulling across the line, cracking down on defensive ends, or getting to the second level with ease. He's even athletic enough to catch a pass and move the chains—rare for a lineman his size.   Currently lining up at tackle, Simpson's future projects are likely on the interior—at guard or center—where his traits could shine. His size, technique, and mobility give him real upside, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him emerge as a transfer portal target for a higher-level program down the road. He also shows flashes of advanced hand usage, particularly his ability to snatch and reset against edge rushers. Simpson is a high-upside interior line prospect whose best football is still ahead.      [player_tooltip player_id='1670615' first='Adonay' last='Navas'] is a name to keep on your radar. The 6'3”, 250-pound lineman has the frame, length, and natural traits that immediately catch your attention. While he's still raw and developing, the upside is undeniable.   Navas looks like a player just beginning to unlock his potential right now. His size and athletic profile are solid, but his technique—especially pad level—needs refinement. You can see flashes early in reps where he starts strong, but there's a noticeable drop-off as the play continues. That's something that will improve with reps, coaching, and experience.   Physically, he still needs to add strength to match his frame. At his size, he should eventually be able to impose his will on defenders, and once he develops that physical edge, his ceiling will rise significantly. He's not technical yet, but he has tools—tools that coaches love to mold.   As a member of the 2027 class, time is firmly on his side. With continued growth and a stronger foundation in the fundamentals, Navas could blossom into a high-level Division I offensive lineman.      [player_tooltip player_id='1654657' first='Grant' last='Van Raaphorst'] is a name that will gain serious traction this fall. The 5'10”, 167-pound sophomore wideout from Delbarton has elite-level hips and suddenness that you don't often see in young receivers.   His ability to change direction, especially at the top of routes, makes him a nightmare for defenders in one-on-one situations. That kind of short-area quickness gives him instant separation, and it's already earning him buzz after a strong Prep Redzone camp performance.   With Philip Fomar off to Buffalo, Van Raaphorst is entering a prime opportunity. Delbarton's offense will need a new go-to guy, and Grant looks ready to seize that role. He'll be a key weapon in an already talented receiver room and should quickly establish himself as one of the top young route runners in New Jersey.      [player_tooltip player_id='1267592' first='Daulton' last='Phalines'] is one of South Jersey's more intriguing quarterbacks heading into the fall. The 6'4”, 190-pound signal caller from Paul VI strongly showed at the PSR Combine and carries a frame that screams long-term potential. He's a lean 190 right now, but there's plenty of room for him to grow physically and withstand the rigors of the position.   What stands out most is his calm demeanor in the pocket. Phalines has a solid presence, a smooth deep ball, and understands how to attack the sideline and middle of the field with touch. He consistently puts his receivers in position to rack up yards after the catch and doesn't shy away from being aggressive when the opportunity presents itself.   He's developing into that steady field, generally making smart reads, knowing when to take the checkdown, and when to let it rip. With a pair of capable receivers on the outside and momentum coming out of the offseason, Phalines will be a name to track as he chases his first Division I offer this year.
