His 15 hurries are particularly notable because they demonstrate that Quinn is consistently creating pressure even when he does not finish the play with a sack. He is averaging 1.5 sacks per game, putting him among the state's most productive edge defenders statistically. His ability to contribute as both a defensive end and fullback also provides an interesting two-way evaluation for scouts. If Quinn maintains this level of disruption through the second half of the season, his production should continue to draw attention from evaluators.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out Wilmington Area High School by Tyler Quinn on @hudl https://t.co/0skogT3oy9 #hudl</p>&mdash; Coach Josey (@Coach_Josey) <a href="https://x.com/Coach_Josey/status/2106805577984917527?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 4, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2200369"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac29d5a9644c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2200369' first='Billy' last='Slattery'] has been one of the hottest edge defenders in Pennsylvania over the past several weeks, currently sitting at 7.0 sacks through five games. He is also averaging 8.8 tackles per game, showing that his impact is not limited to rushing the passer. His most recent performance was particularly impressive, producing 11 tackles, five tackles for loss and four sacks against Salisbury Township. That performance gave Slattery back-to-back games with at least 10 tackles and extended his streak to three consecutive games with a sack. The combination of production and recent momentum makes Slattery an intriguing edge prospect to monitor as Northern Lehigh enters the second half of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out [player_tooltip player_id='2200369' first='Billy' last='Slattery']'s Junior Year Defensive highlights on @Hudl https://t.co/fZnfNP8GTg #hudl</p>&mdash; Coach Josey (@Coach_Josey) <a href="https://x.com/Coach_Josey/status/2106807096909947264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 4, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gavin Lovell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"198","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"5926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Moshannon Valley","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac29d5a9658e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lovell is putting together one of the most productive defensive seasons in Pennsylvania, with 10.0 sacks, 12 quarterback hurries and 79 total tackles through five games. His 10 sacks currently lead the state, while his 12 hurries show that his impact extends well beyond simply finishing plays. Moshannon Valley is also getting tremendous production from Lovell against the run, as he is averaging roughly 15.8 tackles per game. From an evaluation standpoint, his combination of pursuit, physicality and consistent backfield disruption makes him a player who is difficult to keep away from the football. Lovell's midseason numbers make him one of the state's most productive edge-type defenders and a prospect whose production deserves serious attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out Southern Huntingdon County High School by Gavin Lovell on @hudl https://t.co/DvQBrSg2P2 #hudl</p>&mdash; Coach Josey (@Coach_Josey) <a href="https://x.com/Coach_Josey/status/2106809685630153095?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 4, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2239963"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac29d5a96632"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">York County's [player_tooltip player_id='2239963' first='Logan' last='Boyer'] has been a consistent presence off the edge for West York, recording 6.0 sacks through five games. The junior is averaging 1.2 sacks per game and currently leads the Bulldogs in sacks. Boyer's production has helped anchor a West York defense that has been particularly effective during its current stretch, including a 55-3 victory over Kennard-Dale. At the midpoint of the season, his six sacks demonstrate the ability to consistently generate pressure and finish plays behind the line of scrimmage. For PRZ evaluators in the York-Adams area, Boyer's continued production makes him an edge prospect worth tracking closely during the second half of the 2026 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out Dover High School by [player_tooltip player_id='2239963' first='Logan' last='Boyer'] on @hudl https://t.co/Ek9Facmpm5 #hudl</p>&mdash; Coach Josey (@Coach_Josey) <a href="https://x.com/Coach_Josey/status/2106812079558500697?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 4, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Elijah Oswald","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"185","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"5926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Southern Huntingdon ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac29d5a9677b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elijah Oswald has been one of Southern Huntingdon's most disruptive defenders, recording 4.0 sacks and eight quarterback hurries through the available 2026 statistics. His production is particularly impressive because he has also contributed heavily to the turnover battle with two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. Oswald is averaging 10.6 tackles per game, giving him the type of all-around defensive production that stands out beyond the traditional sack numbers. His ability to affect the quarterback while also making plays against the run makes him a legitimate two-way threat from the edge. With his combination of sacks, pressures, tackles and takeaways, Oswald gives you a strong statistical profile for a PRZ midseason feature.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out Elijah Oswald's 8-yard Touchdown Reception vs Juniata Valley on @Hudl https://t.co/2GhqVcvibe #hudl</p>&mdash; Coach Josey (@Coach_Josey) <a href="https://x.com/Coach_Josey/status/2106813771385618643?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 4, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
