He is already committed to playing football at Navy, which is a perfect fit for him. Bonnet is a mauler in the run game. He just destroys defensive linemen when he run blocks. He is excellent on combo blocks by driving defenders off the ball and helping on double-team blocks. He has good feet and moves well, especially for someone of his size (6'5"). Bonnet is a talented offensive lineman who has one year left to continue to play at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Very excited to announce that after discussing with my family I have decided on committing to the U.S Naval Academy!<a href="https://twitter.com/NavyFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NavyFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Jay_Guillermo57?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Jay_Guillermo57</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NavyCoachYo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NavyCoachYo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a><a href="https://twitter.com/BrianDohn247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrianDohn247</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/wpialsportsnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wpialsportsnews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PaFootballNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PaFootballNews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Blitz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Blitz</a> @PRZPAvic <a href="https://twitter.com/AvonworthFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AvonworthFB</a> <a href="https://t.co/ngj0PxIlCK">pic.twitter.com/ngj0PxIlCK</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1155897' first='Peter' last='Bonnet'] (@peterthebonnet) <a href="https://twitter.com/peterthebonnet/status/1940128341492732197?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 1, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["647668"],"_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-688f7ff527d26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='647668' first='Carson' last='Bellinger'] is an underrated athlete who plays quarterback for Avonworth. He has good footwork and mechanics in the pocket. He delivers a good football from the pocket. He shows excellent touch on the ball, especially on deep balls. The biggest area in which he excels is when he has to make plays with his feet. His ability to scramble around and find open receivers is excellent. He also shows good speed, and if he takes off to run, he can run for big plays. Bellinger is the ultimate gun slinger at quarterback and is a talented athlete who plays as a quarterback. I am excited to see how he plays as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Junior Year Highlights <br>Class of 2026 QB / 4.54 GPA<br>24-5 record as a 2 year starter <br>2x WPIAL 3A runner up 22-23<br>2023 1st Team All Conference QB<br>2024 WPIAL 3A Champions<br>2024 3A PIAA State Runner Up<a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/wpialsportsnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wpialsportsnews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/kubdog5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kubdog5</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/drossman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@drossman</a> <a href="https://t.co/CKXr9gvqey">https://t.co/CKXr9gvqey</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='647668' first='Carson' last='Bellinger'] (@CarsonBellinger) <a href="https://twitter.com/CarsonBellinger/status/1867732554343743610?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 14, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1591107"],"_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-688f7ff527d74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1591107' first='Luca' last='Neal'] is an outstanding football player in the 2026 class.

As a runner, he does a good job of making defenders miss. He is also a physical running back who is hard to bring down. Then he also lined up as a slot receiver and caught the ball. Then, on defense, he is the ultimate defensive match-up piece. He played as both an outside linebacker and a safety. At both positions, he is good as a run defender by making tackles in the open field. Neal is a good player in the 2026 class and should have an excellent chance at getting recruited to play football. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a great time competing at <a href="https://twitter.com/Towson_FB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Towson_FB</a> camp yesterday!
