With our newly ranked update for the 2023 class, we have 12 players as athletes. We take a look at the athletes ranked 10 through 6. 10. [player_tooltip player_id="91664" first="Haden" last="Sierocky"] (SOPH) 6’0 170 – Ligonier Valley HS Haden plays quarterback. He had 559 yards passing with 676 yards rushing and 19 total touchdowns. He plays safety on defense and had 30 tackles with 4 interceptions. Haden shows some quickness with good speed. He doesn’t have a ton of film, with most of it being at QB. On defense, he lacks closing burst. Shows average ball skills. Think he will be better suited as a duel-threat QB. He shows a high, tight quick release. Does make some impressive throws outside the pocket. Based on sophomore film, he is a D-3 player. Need to see more of him as a passer and as he continues to grow and develop could be a guy to look out for in the future. 9. [player_tooltip player_id="91719" first="Sam" last="Penna"] (SOPH) 5’9 155 – Richland HS Sam plays wide receiver and cornerback. He has some quickness but lacks speed for his size. He is better suited as a wide receiver. He has a good release but lacks burst off the line of scrimmage. He is an average route runner, can sink hips on curls. Limited in the route running tree. Lacks to create separation vs man coverage. He does show good ball skills and able to track and adjust. Based on sophomore film, believe Sam is a D-3 player.   8. [player_tooltip player_id="91714" first="Terry" last="Booth"] (SOPH) 5’7 160 – Sto-Rox HS Terry plays defensive back. He is undersized right now. He shows quickness and speed. He also shows physicality. He has good hip movement. Seems to lack ball skills, misses some easy interceptions. Seems like his tackling needs to improve as well. Terry is an athletic kid, who has the ability to be a good player. He is a kid to keep an eye on in the future as he continues to grow and develop. 7. [player_tooltip player_id="91657" first="Connor" last="Goehring"] (SOPH) 6’2 200 – Schuylkill Haven Connor is our 90th overall ranked player. Connor plays wide receiver. He has good size that shows to be quicker than fast. He is used more in the jet sweep game. Show a good release with a burst off the line of scrimmage. He shows to have average ball skills. Connor does not have much film, need to see more of him as a true wide receiver.   6. [player_tooltip player_id="91660" first="Ben" last="Lane"] (SOPH) 5’10 155 – Freeport HS Ben is our 77th overall ranked player. Ben plays quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and defensive back. I see him more as a running back. He has quickness with good speed and can be elusive. He shows good vision and stays pad level through the hole. He shows he can catch out of the backfield. Not afraid of contact, can run you over. Ben is a good player, has potential of being an FBS player.
