<p>[player_tooltip player_id="254885" first="Matt" last="Meacham"] - <strong>QB (Honeoye Falls - Lima) 6’2” 165lbs</strong></p>
<p>Meacham is sort of a late bloomer on the recruiting scene, but has all the measurables now and intangibles that you look for in a high school quarterback. Does a good job keeping his eyes downfield on unscripted scrambles to allow WRs to work their routes further downfield. Can make all the throws necessary to be a D1 QB. Throws a nice deep corner ball, that falls into WRs arms like teardrops. Played JV and Varsity last year for Honeoye Falls - Lima (HFL). Will take over the starting reigns this year for HFL and Section V teams in Class B better get ready to face a D1 caliber QB all fall 2022. Meacham was invited to NXGN The Show in Atlanta in late June after a stellar performance at NXGN Cleveland Regional in early April. Just recently camped at UCONN’s Mega Camp on 5/29/22. Also sports a 3.96 GPA college coaches.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="351231" first="Dyrell" last="Howard-Dolson"] - <strong>RB/LB (Canisius) 6’0” 210lbs</strong></p>
<p>Big body high school running back and linebacker for Canisius (Buffalo, NY). Very shifty for a back of his size and makes defenders miss tackles on him. Has a mean dead leg and jump cut in his arsenal. Dyrell also plays OLB and DE for Canisius and does a good job shedding blockers to make tackles. Sports a 3.6 GPA and a 4.4 short shuttle and 7.07 3-cone. Just recently took in a unofficial visit to SU on 5/25/22 and expect his recruitment to pick up steam has we get closer to fall and the first month of the season. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="351238" first="Dallas" last="Harris"] -<strong> OL/DL (UPREP) 6’2” 285lbs</strong></p>
<p>What’s not to like about a 2 year Varsity starter who’s only heading into his junior year. Holds down the middle of the offensive line for Rochester, NY powerhouse University Prep Charter School for Young Men aka UPREP or better known as The U. And When you start at Center for top caliber program since your freshman year you have a high FBIQ (Football IQ). Has a good get off after his snap and gets into defenders quick and does a good job rolling his hips and keeping leverage on defenders and does a good job moving his feet. Definite D1 prospect and recently competed in Prospect NYS All-NY Showcase back in May. Took a unofficial visit to SU back in April and has a 3.64 GPA. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="351234" first="Jamier" last="Handford"] -<strong> RB (CBA-Syracuse) 5’11” 175lbs</strong></p>
<p>Handford played a important role for the reigning NYSPHAA State Class A Champion CBA-Syracuse. Started at RB and plays with a swiss army knife playmaking style slashing his way thru defenses and scoring touchdowns. Can line up in the backfield or split out tight or wide which is perfect for today’s spread offenses. Racked up 740 total yards 11 Touchdowns on 101 touches. Should see an even greater production with defenses cued in to stop CBA’s high powered passing attack. Can’t wait to see this young man ball this fall. Really thinks he’s an under the radar recruit but hopefully not for too long.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="351232" first="Kevon" last="Walker"] - <strong>TE/LB (Burgard Vocational) 6’3” 226lbs</strong></p>
<p>Walker plays out in WNY in Buffalo for Burgard and plays all over the field for Burgard. On offense he can line up in tight as a TE or split out as a Y receiver. Big body kid who’s a load to tackle for smaller DBs and LBs. Three sport athlete who hauled in 33 receptions for 298 yards and 7 Touchdowns for Burgard in 2021. Has the measurables needed to be a D1 prospect at a few positions (TE, OLB, DE). Recently had an unofficial visit to SU on 5/25/22 and should hear from more colleges as we get into the June/July College Camp season.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="351235" first="Juelz" last="Russell"] - <strong>WR (UPREP) 5’9” 155lbs</strong></p>
<p>Big time athlete who has elite speed and just proved it at UCONN’s Mega Camps on 5/29/22 by running a 4.54 electronic 40. And literally cooked a multiple offer DB whom some at the UCONN mega camp could cover.....guess again coaches</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> and offer Russell like NOW. Plays at Rochester powerhouse UPREP and played behind 1 D1 WR and 2 D2 WRs. Russell is an absolute weapon anywhere on the field and is in store to have a stellar junior season which could see his recruitment soar. Also a track star who has PRs of 10.94 in the 100m, 22.28 in the 200m, and 6.57 in the 55m to name a few. Placed 4th in the Adidas Indoor Track & Field Nationals in the 60m. Expect Russell’s star to continue to soar over the summer and into the fall. </p>
