6’3, 230 pounds. Ranking suggests Roman Catholic’s Lazaryus Toombs Lazaryus Toombs 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Roman Catholic | 2025 State PA carries a Group of Five ceiling with an FCS floor. Current recruiting trends suggest the same thing.
Back in February, Toombs was one of the many Philly-based prospects to be offered by Coach Wartman out of Akron University. A major stamp that likely opened the eyes of the likes of Maine, LIU, and most recently, Central Connecticut State. Even if the FBS offers don’t turn up for Toombs, racking up serious love from FCS programs up North is obviously celebration-worthy. A top-20 defensive lineman prospect in my eyes.

still leads the pass-rushing unit over at Roman Catholic. That being said, LaZaryus Toombs is the current name that should be hot on the recruiting trail. 6’3, 235 pounds, is having a phenomenal season beside a star-studded defensive line deploying names like

More on Lazaryus Toombs Lazaryus Toombs 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Roman Catholic | 2025 State PA , the senior DE has three scholarship offers under his belt, yet it’s tough to know if any of the three scholarships are still on the table. I would imagine they are, that being offers out of Long Island University, Maine, and Akron. I come to that conclusion based on how Toombs has performed through four weeks of play. I have Toombs in this piece because I can make a case that the young man should have a couple more FCS opportunities under his belt. Toombs recorded a sack and two TFLs in a dominant victory over AP Randolph, a game I was in attendance for. Love the Malvern Prep tape, Roman has Toombs shade either side of the tackle in a four-man front, serving as a true EDGE rusher. A tough chest plate to get a hold of, Toombs attacks tackles with the intent of throwing them off balance. Holds a lot more lateral agility than you’d figure, this isn’t a chunky DE build. A motor that revs to stop the run too. Toombs gets off his initial block so well, his vision through traffic is phenomenal, the young man does a great job shocking out of his stance and seeking the BC. Toombs came away with at least ten tackles in this one, that’s saying something for a kid whose hand is in the dirt each play.

playing defensive line. Toombs is a fast and twitchy defensive lineman who explodes off the ball. He is a difference-maker at the defensive line. He has started to pick up steam in the recruiting world with an initial offer from Akron and more recently Long Island. Below is what my colleague

said about him earlier this year:
“Excited to see a young man given an FBS grade, while seeing said grade come to life in the form of a scholarship offer. Coach Nyeem Wartman, the DL Coach out of Akron, has done his part recruiting the right names out of Philadelphia. Lazaryus Toombs Lazaryus Toombs 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Roman Catholic | 2025 State PA is an ideal offer candidate, he recently spoke with Wartman just a week prior to writing, with Wartman extending the 6’3, 235-pound DE an scholly offer. Toombs missed the top 20 DL cut by one spot, yet he’s likely to see more G5s call his number soon. Expect Temple and the likes of Marshall/Charlotte to inquire before or during Spring”.
