He is also a good athlete who moves around well. Beals is a talented quarterback and should improve even more in the next few years.
Off-Season Update: Beals recruitment has picked up over the summer. He has traveled around to different college campuses and has been competing at their various camps and 7 on 7 tournaments. In the last month, he has been at Colorado, Duke, Penn State, and Rutgers. He should continue to garner a ton of attention in the fall.

LaSalle College | 2026
State
PA
is one impressive quarterback prospect. He has great size standing (6’3 inches tall) and excellent footwork in the pocket. He is also like a machine in the pocket. He does a great job of scanning the field and finding open receivers. Sidwar has all the tools to play at the next level.
Off-Season Update: Gavin’s recruitment has started to heat up over the last few months. He also has played on the Level 82 7 on 7 team. He has recently visited Rutgers and Syracuse. Sidwar will have some good choices to pick from to play College Football.

Xavier Stearn
Xavier
Stearn
6'5" | 200 lbs | QB
Germantown Academy | 2026
State
PA
has one of the strongest arms in the 2026 class. He also has pinpoint accuracy and knows exactly where he wants to go with the ball almost every time. He also has excellent mechanics and footwork. He is completely comfortable in the pocket picking a part of a defense. Stearn has the potential to be the best quarterback in this group.
Off-Season Update: Stearn played on the Level 82 7 on 7 Team. He also recently competed at the Elite 11 camp. He was also at Penn State’s Junior Day. Stearn should get plenty of attention in the fall and I expect many CFB offers coming his way.

Jalen Harris
Jalen
Harris
6'1" | 170 lbs | QB
Chester | 2026
State
PA
is an absolute stud at quarterback. He is equally as good inside the pocket as he is outside the pocket. Inside the pocket, he has excellent fundamentals and he has pinpoint accuracy. Outside the pocket, he is an elite athlete. He does a good job of scrambling around and finding open receivers down the field. Harris is an elite quarterback.
Off-Season Update: Harris competed at the Elite 11 camp recently. He also competed at the Under Armour Camp. He recently picked up his 3rd offer from Kent State. He also has offers from Robert Morris and Uconn. I expect more offers to come his way.
Film Review: Dante Carr Dante Carr 6'4" | 200 lbs | QB Minersville | 2026 State PA is a true dual-threat quarterback. He is a good athlete who is a dynamic runner. He has elite speed and when he gets into the open field he is gone. As a thrower of the football he has good mechanics and throws an excellent football. Carr is a good athlete who is playing quarterback.
Off-Season Update: Carr was a long jumper in track and also competed at various football camps in the off-season. He recently visited Maryland. Carr recruitment should pick up in the fall and next winter. He is someone I expect Carr to eventually get offers.

Film Review: Peyton Falzone Peyton Falzone 6'5" | 200 lbs | QB Nazareth Area | 2026 State PA is a dynamic athlete who is playing quarterback. He has elite speed and runs well. He also throws a good football. His arm might be one of the strongest in the class. You see his arm strength when he throws deep balls. Falzone has all the tools to play at the next level.
Off-Season Update: Falzone has picked up a ton of steam on the recruiting trail. He currently has offers from Kent State, Bucknell, Lehigh, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse. He just recently picked up that offer from Syracuse. I expect more offers to come his way.
Film Review: Marques Council has a chance to skyrocket up this list. In limited playing time, Council has shown that he has all the tools to play at a high level. He has a good arm and throws a good football. His mechanics are excellent. He also is a good athlete who moves well. I am excited to see his progress next season.
Off-Season Update: Marques Council recently picked up his 1st offer from Robert Morris. He also has been busy with the Aliquippa football team and attending the 7 on-7 circuit. Council has a chance to improve his stock this season.
Highlights
Film Review: Tom McGlinchey Tom McGlinchey 6'6" | 205 lbs | QB William Penn Charter | 2026 State PA is a good athlete who plays quarterback at a high level. He has good tools inside and outside the pocket. He is excellent at sitting in the pocket and throwing the ball. He is also good on designed sprint-out passing plays where he has to run and throw the ball. McGlinchey is a good prospect as both an athlete and a quarterback. The other thing is with his size (6’6 inches tall) he could project as a tight end at the next level.
Off-Season Update: The debate with McGlinchey seems to be is he is a good enough athlete that he could play as a tight end at the next level. He currently has been on the radar of several schools and visited Notre Dame, but as of now, his only offer is Duke. If he continues to develop as a quarterback I could see him playing that at the next level. Regardless, McGlinchey has all the tools to play at the next level.
