Joel Amegatcher Joel Amegatcher 5'10" | 240 lbs | DL Camden Catholic | 2025 State NJ is an interior defender who deserves his props. Equipped with an arsenal of moves that he achieves success with (rips, bull rush, and swim), he has the ability to pass rush with a plan and give offensive linemen different looks during each snap. Something someone his size should not be able to do, when Amegatcher rips he is able to dip his shoulder low to the ground so offenders cannot touch him. Once in the backfield, we see him breakdown at no more than 2 yards deep to force bounces and eventually corral ball carriers. Should Amegatcher get his shoulders turned, he does a solid job of fighting back into the gap he is responsible for. Right now, Amegatcher does an exceptional job of coming off the ball and penetrating into the backfield. Although he does not get driven off the ball, for Amegatcher to make the jump into the next strata of interior defensive linemen in his class, I need to see instances of him controlling the line of scrimmage. To me, this looks like hands-on, half-man, and walking linemen into their own backfield.

A player that can lineup on the edge and as a defensive tackle, Camden Catholic’s Joel Amegatcher Joel Amegatcher 5'10" | 240 lbs | DL Camden Catholic | 2025 State NJ was a nightmare for offensive coordinators in 2022. Joel is the best of both worlds; powerful and quick. He’s in the backfield as soon as the ball moves an itch and the offensive linemen are still in their pre-snap stance. When he does work against a lineman, his athleticism really shines with spin moves and hard punches.

The quarterbacks had a hard getting away from Joel in 2022. You could say the same for the backs and receivers. Joel is one of the few defensive linemen in the state that could run down every skill position. Joel will only gain more and more attention as he continues to perfect his craft.
