He's due for a ranking boost, especially if he's had a stellar season on the ground weeks 5-8. 4.2 GPA. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19491633/Momodu-Rogers">[player_tooltip player_id='1180765' first='Momodu' last='Rogers'] - Hudl</a> I bet he's churning through defenses. </td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='819712' first='Anthony' last='Aquila'] - ATH/DB - 5'11, 180 pounds - Bishop Shanahan</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Lacrosse and Basketball participant at Bishop Shanahan. Outstanding student athlete, multi-sport and a 5.01 GPA, 1340 SAT score. A former PRZ camper who always impressed in person. An incredible two-way force who has racked up production to help Shanahan to six wins this Fall. Great player, must gameplan against. </td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='1110955' first='Michael' last='Cleary'] - OL/DL - 6'2, 260 pounds - Bishop Shanahan</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">No senior tape out yet from what I can tell but a ton of single-game production to tap into. Legit baseball prospect, is on the basketball team, too. Great to see the overall athleticism from a 6'2, 270-pound DL. Currently un-offered, will spread his name a bit more. Has a future at DL. </td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='854391' first='Zahaid' last='Edwards'] - DB/WR - Pope John Paul II</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Week 1-7 tape was phenomenal. A Power Four talent Springfield will have to account for, this on both sides of the ball. 6'2, 170 pounds. Elite senior corner who can change the game any time he's targeted. A name to watch on special teams, too. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/22700092/Zahaid-EdwardsBoone">[player_tooltip player_id='854391' first='Zahaid' last='Edwards']-Boone - Hudl</a></td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='1180781' first='Gabe' last='Duda'] - RB/LB - 5'10, 180 pounds - Honesdale</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">A two-way junior whose presence will be felt both as a LB/DB as well as an offensive weapon on the ground. Coming off a ridiculous five-score night on 380+ yards. It's clear who Wallenpaupack will have to stop if they want to win this game. </td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='1878015' first='Jake' last='Rafferty'] - 6'2, 180 pounds - QB/ATH - Wallenpaupack</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">A new name that I want to learn more about. I'm familiar with District 2 ball in the area, Rafferty's early usage combined with his size/athleticism package is intriguing to say the least. Is behind center for Wallenpaupack, apparently wrestles, and participates in track and field at the school as well. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/22483281/Jake-Rafferty">[player_tooltip player_id='1878015' first='Jake' last='Rafferty'] - Hudl</a></td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='1714969' first='Mason' last='Marshall-Speights'] - RB/LB - 5'9, 170 pounds - Interboro</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">A sophomore at Interboro I'm interested in. Posted a regular-season highlight tape on the same day of writing. Nice to see an underclassman contribute on a quarterfinal team. A back in tandem with the above-mentioned Rogers. Excited to re-evaluate him for the ranking update incoming.</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='1575565' first='Dylan' last='Caster'] - OL/DL - 6'7, 320 pounds - North Pocono</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">A massive human being, ranked well among senior OL. Flirted with an FBS grade at one point, I know of FBS coaches who inquired about the young man. Will set the tone for North Pocono—82.5-inch wingspan. </td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='323637' first='Nate' last='Walsh'] - ATH - 5'6, 170 pounds - Crestwood</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Coming off a 120-yard performance on the ground, this kid needs to be accounted for or he could break loose in the coming playoff game against North Pocono. 3.6 GPA. Great lifter for his age, track sprinter, too. In line for a ranking update. </td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='1714986' first='Julian' last='Betts'] - DE - 6'3, 215 pounds - Pope John Paul II</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">A sophomore who I was excited about in the off-season. Happy to see he's had the opportunity to put quality reps on Hudl. Likely going to be a name to watch next year, i'll be sure to plug his name. 4.0 GPA. Me plugging him a bit will shed light on his potential. </td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='1180707' first='Cole' last='West'] - DB - 6'1, 190 pounds - North Pocono</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">An underrated talent at North Pocono. Track and basketball participant. Self-reports an impressive 4.6 40 time at 6'2, 190. 3.9 GPA and a NHS kid. Gaining serious Ivy League interest. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19555734/Cole-West">[player_tooltip player_id='1180707' first='Cole' last='West'] - Hudl</a></td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='1693070' first='Jeffrey' last='Wasilchak'] - LB/RB - 6'0, 215 pounds - Valley View</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4.8 self-reported 40. 3.9 GPA. Coming off a fantastic sophomore season, one that landed him on our rankings. Checking back in on the Valley View junior to see he's only improving. Nearly 100 tackles on the year and 6 YPC to boot. </td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='1263038' first='Brandon' last='DeAngelo'] - WR - 5'10, 170 pounds - Pope John Paul II</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">A PJP2 senior whose last tape I checked out back in September. A WR who has ample experience at DB. Tough to handle two skill players like Edwards and DeAngelo, both of which need to be identified pre-snap on either side of the ball IMO. Still un-offered to my knowledge. </td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='940302' first='Aidan' last='Civitella'] - WR - 6'0, 180 pounds - Bishop Shanahan</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">A senior without enough fanfare to his name IMO. Recorded seven receiving touchdowns this Fall, with plans to add to that total. He and Aquilla are a nasty duo to stop. Surprised to see slow recruitment for this kid. Want to see a senior tape out of him ASAP, I know he's producing but want ammo to provide coaches when piping him up. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17736997/Aidan-Civitella">[player_tooltip player_id='940302' first='Aidan' last='Civitella'] - Hudl</a></td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table -->
