Team-by-Team Stock Risers: United Ten '21 Spring Season

With the United Ten Spring Season in the books, we will go team by team highlighting prospects who have either jumped onto our radar or outplayed their ranking on our site based on their much-too short Spring season! Ten teams played their hearts out, which has led to a stellar championship matchup culminating the season this Saturday @ 1 between Harry S. Truman (3-2) and Chester HS (4-1) All prospects have made it on our radar and I have watched all Hudl tapes that have been released. Every prospect listed deserves some recognition for their play. Interboro prospects are not on this list solely because of a lack of film and a lack of exposure as I did my best to find names and reach out but to no avail. Parents, coaches, and prospects of Interboro reach out! We would love to update this. List is in no particular order! <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-123601 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/03/ProspectSpotlight-1-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" /> Father Judge Eric Smith | 5'10" 190lbs | RB/DB | C/O 2024 Billy Whiteley | 5'9" 175lbs | RB/DB | C/O 2022 Jordan Rhinehart | 5'11" 170lbs | ATH | C/O 2022 Shane Hartman Jake Marquis Eric Smith is one of the bright young stars out of the Catholic League in Philadelphia. It's only a matter of time before this kid gets calls from coaches on the east coast. He's so raw as a prospect yet carries a chiseled, compact build of a senior that allows him to run with the tempo and attitude necessary to be productive. Whitely and Rhinehart are two players who turned up their game as the season progressed. Whiteley joins Smith in the backfield but I really like how he plays on defense, consistent playmaker. I love Rhinehart's change of direction ability as well as his subtleness when releasing off the line of scrimmage. Judge has got a young core that we hope to see continue to develop. Cheltenham Zachary Gaffin | LB/QB | C/O 2021 [player_tooltip player_id="27337" first="Sam" last="Sykes"] | 5'8" 175lbs | RB/DB | C/O 2021 Amani Ezell | 6'1" 175lbs | WR/DB | C/O 2021 [player_tooltip player_id="121144" first="Tyree" last="Townes"] | 6'0 | ATH | C/O 2022 Zaire Williams | 5'7" 145lbs | ATH | C/O 2024 Jordan Lilly | 5'8 175lbs | SS/RB | C/O 2023 Jamal Banks | 5'9" 180lbs | DB | C/O 2023 Cheltenham actually has the most prospects on this list with seven. They do a fantastic job getting film out there. We spoke highly of the three seniors atop the list. With Ezell, Gaffin, and star athlete [player_tooltip player_id="27337" first="Sam" last="Sykes"] moving on, Cheltenham is still in a position to succeed in the future with a secondary that has the potential to be the best in the UX. Led by junior [player_tooltip player_id="121144" first="Tyree" last="Townes"], Cheltenham has three players in their secondary that are on our watchlist to be ranked. We can't forget about standout freshman Zaire Williams, whose potential is through the roof. Penn Wood Joshua Hali | 5'8" 165 | WR/DB | C/O 2021 Auron Stevens | DB/ATH | C/O 2023 Michael Price | 6'0" 165lbs | WR/CB | C/O 2021 [player_tooltip player_id="132329" first="Jordin" last="Jones"] | 5'9" 180lbs | ATH | C/O 2022 Malik Brooks | 5'11" 186lbs | ATH | C/O 2021 An explosive offense that was somehow throttled against Chester two weeks ago. This team is full of speed and athleticism. The season didn't end how Penn Wood would have liked, yet many players showed off impressive ball skills and overall athleticism through five games. [player_tooltip player_id="132329" first="Jordin" last="Jones"] produced to the best of his abilities and showed his versatility game in and game out. Hali and Stevens came on late in the season to earn a spot. [player_tooltip player_id="27325" first="Mike" last="Price"] is a stud but that was known before the season, Reading Elijah Williams | 6'1" 210lbs | RB | C/O 2021 [player_tooltip player_id="27743" first="Amier" last="Burdine"] could also be featured, but his stock remains in place due to injury in what was a rough season for Reading. One bright spot is the emergence of running back Elijah Wiliams. We were made known of his talents this season where he and Burdine did their best to keep Reading in games. He's dynamic in and out the trenches and deserves some love.   Academy Park Kabba Kamara | 6'3" 210lbs | DE | C/O 2021 Fouad Mansaray | 6'0 150lbs | ATH | C/O 2024 Eric Willis | WR/DB | C/O 2022 Ibrahim Sanogo | 6'2" 210lbs | LB/DE/RB | C/O 2022 Anis Hunter Jr. | 6'0 155lbs | DB | C/O 2023 Ashton Clarkson | CB/DB | C/O 2022 We would have loved to see a rematch of Chester and Academy Park. AP's defense was stellar against an elite team in Chester this past weekend, and although Academy Park isn't in the championship, we came away with multiple prospects all of which impact said defense. I can argue no one in the United X has done more for their stock than junior Ibrahim Sanogo. We have spoken of his stellar play on the site on numerous occasions. Kabba Kamara is another stud along the same defensive line, both players weighing in at 210 and both exceeding 6'2". Consider a secondary of Clarkson, Hunter Jr., and Willis. This trio shapes up just as well as Cheltenham's secondary does. Exciting team to watch in the future for sure! Norristown Nick DiNolfi | 6'1" 170lbs | QB | C/O 2021 Julian Arthur | 6'0" | WR/DB | C/O 2023 We know of Nick DiNolfi's production but haven't necessarily seen it ourselves yet. Lack of film has made it difficult to evaluate the senior quarterback but we know he's producing on both sides of the ball. He and Julian Arthur have chemistry building, too bad this season was cut short or these two would have had a ball lighting up defenses. Arthur makes plays on defense too. Two highly underrated prospects who scouts invested in the UX know plenty about. Chichester [player_tooltip player_id="91712" first="Staring" last="Reaves"] | 5'9" 175lbs | ATH | C/O 2023 Eddie Swinton | 6'0 165lbs | WR/OLB | C/O 2022 Bryen Akil Hamm | 5'9" 166lbs | RB/SS | C/O 2021 [player_tooltip player_id="91712" first="Staring" last="Reaves"] is one of the best overall prospects the United Ten has to offer. That would still be the case anywhere he plays. He's ahead of schedule as a prospect and displays consistent technique, effort, and discipline. The kid is only a sophomore. Shout out to Swinton and Hamm for giving this season their all. Their play stood out to us, especially Hamm's film as a whole. Chester Anton Sterling | RB | C/O 2021 Colin Ferrell | 5'10" 171 | FS/LB | C/O 2023 Isaiah Freeeman | 6'3" 195lbs | QB | C/O 2022 LaFennis Mays [player_tooltip player_id="94858" first="Darron" last="Miller"] | 6'2" 170lbs | SS/OLB | C/O 2022 Jahir Palmer | 6'0 180lbs | CB/ATH | C/O 2021 The best team throughout the Spring. The Clippers were absolutely dominant before their loss to Academy Park. That may have been the worst possible outcome for HST, as we can expect Chester to clean up mistakes and play their best game yet this Saturday. Anton Sterling is also in consideration for the highest of stock-risers this Spring. He went off on numerous occasions. We aren't sure if the senior is holding any offers, but if he isn't coaches need to get on this kid fast! Ferrell, Miller, and Palmer all continued to elevate their stocks the past two weeks. Ferrell deserves to be ranked as one of the best '23 LB/FS in all of PA, his film doesn't lie. We are intrigued by QB Isaiah Freeman, more so as the season progressed. His size is ideal and he's got raw talent. Strong arm and size to match. Harry S. Truman Sincere Thomas | 5'9" 160lbs | ATH | C/O 2021 Terrell Delp | 6'3" 200 | QB | C/O 2022 Jordan Fant | 6'0 185lbs | ATH | C/O 2021 Makai Jackson | 6'0 170lbs | DB | C/O 2022 The other team in the championship that isn't to be messed with. Harry S. Truman is led by electric senior athlete Sincere Thomas on offense and stud defensive back Makai Jackson on defense. Chester gave up some points to Academy last week, their main objective is to slow Thomas down enough to keep this game in hand. It's going to take every name listed and some to stop the combination of Delp-Thomas. One of the more productive QB-WR tandems in the United X. These four have solidified their stocks and could elevate even further with a championship win against Chester this Saturday!
