Known for their elite talent and team success, Bergen Catholic went 11-1 en route to another state championship this fall. One Crusader who led the way was Elijah Kinsler Elijah Kinsler 6'4" | 250 lbs | DL Bergen Catholic | 2024 State NJ . Playing both interior d-line and edge, the 6’4″ 250lb talent totaled 47 tackles, 11.5 TFL, 5.5 sacks, and 1 FF.

Kinsler accelerates very quickly. I think this all may start in his stance, which is a quintessential sprinter’s stance. This allows him to lunge forward with force and ferocity. From there, he plays lower than the o-lineman, getting under his pads and playing with winning leverage. Kinsler gets hands on the blocker and then strains, separates, and sheds to make plays look routine. What I enjoy the most about Kinsler is how excited he is to play the game. He is constantly clapping and expressing himself when either he or a teammate make a big play. This enthusiasm is contagious and often a rallying cry for his fellow Crusaders. An area to grow would be to keep working his hands and hips when he pass rushes. This will make him a bluechip prospecting in the fall of 2024.

Kinsler is exactly the type of player we are used to seeing play for Bergen Catholic: fast, twitchy, and explosive. The only question mark about him is where will he play college football?
