A Tier 2 Defensive Back in the New Jersey 2030 class, via Prep Redzone Next as of August 2026.

Was part of the same secondary as E’san Stokes-Rider E’san Stokes-Rider 6'0" | 160 lbs | DB St. Joseph Regional | 2030 State NJ and Jaylen Amos Jaylen Amos 5'8" | 144 lbs | DB/WR Seton Hall Prep | 2030 NJ on the Montclair Cobras 13U team in 2025. Enters high school with a nice build and should be on the Varsity field very early.

Yandel Baez Yandel Baez 5'8" | 145 lbs | WR/DB Belleville | 2030 NJ is a player I am just becoming familiar with but will now be paying attention to for the foreseeable future. An athlete and star on both sides of the ball, Yandel has shown that he has the twitchiness and speed to thrive on deep and shorter routes. I am thoroughly impress with his acceleration after the catch and ability to turn upfield quickly and leave the DBs stumbling behind. If Yandel has green in front of him, you can be sure he will be pulling away from the defenders on his way to the end zone.

Yandel also performed well last season from the linebacker position, and might even be a more impressive prospect on the defensive side of the ball. Yandel made a few picks last season and was able to show off his athleticism by high pointing the ball and changing direction quickly to reverse and run towards the opposing end zone. He even made his presence known in the opponent’s backfield often, as he was able to react quickly and close in on the ball carrier with a relentless effort.
