Must Know Defensive Players Attending PRZ NJ Combine

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The <strong>PRZ NJ Exposure Series</strong> is guaranteed to impress with the talent set to step onto the field. Loaded in the secondary in particular, this event gives scouts and coaches the chance to see if all of these player's offseason work has paid off. It being the last PRZ NJ event before the season kicks off, there is a lot on the line and a lot to prove from these players. Here are the defenders that are setting the standard entering Saturday's event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1367178"],"_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-6a02ffe476552"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scouts and coaches are very familiar with Darren Garrett at this point. the number 2 DB in NY and the 16th ranked overall prospect, Darren is prepared to solidify his position in the state with a big performance down in NJ this weekend. Darren has received a lot of coverage from the PRZ team in the past, and for good reason. Darren impresses at every event he attends, separating himself from the pack with secondary skill you don't see that often. Darren has been grinding all offseason, so I am excited to see what he does on the turf Saturday morning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1691089"],"_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-6a02ffe4765c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1691089' first='Jaxon' last='Pacheco'] has been impressing at every combine and event he has attended this offseason, and I don't expect that momentum to end any time soon. Jaxon is a strong, built up interior defender with more quickness than you would anticipate. Ranked as the #100 prospect in NJ, Jaxon has the chance this weekend to break into the top 100 and elevate his status with a strong performance in Jackson, NJ. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1690044"],"_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-6a02ffe47660b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another 2027 prospect that has the chance to climb in the rankings after this weekend, Paramus Catholic's [player_tooltip player_id='1690044' first='Nysir' last='Golden'] will be showing off his secondary skills at the PRZ Exposure Series. Nysir finished 2025 with big performances from both sides of the ball. However, he really shined as a DB, accumulating 58 total tackles and picking the ball off 5 times, with one returned for a touchdown. With 3 D1 offers thus far, Nysir is primed to get a few more before the season begins. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2205789"],"_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-6a02ffe47664c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the younger DBs that will be in attendance this weekend, [player_tooltip player_id='2205791' first='Alexander' last='Whelan'] has a chance to build a lot of buzz at the event. St. Peter's Prep has been getting better and better every year, pushing it all the way to the semifinals last season before falling to St. Josephs. Alexander is one of those players that has the potential to elevate St. Peter's Prep to the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/26919063/69351c01ea0d31db03936384' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a0662089d72c"} /-->
