is probably my favorite player on this list. The Second Team All-Catholic selection is flying under radars. You want to talk about someone who does it all, while listed at OLB for Cardinal O’hara, standing at 6’2” 215 pounds Dantonka does it all. He flies around matches up well with anyone from slot receivers to tight ends to running backs. What stuck out to me was the athletic ability paired with the long dangly arms. Dantonka has vines for arms pairing well when he’s rushing off the edge or is swatting balls out of the air in coverage. How Dantonka has no offers yet blows my mind, as this is at a minimum a G5 Player.

Another incoming Freshman that could surprise in the PCL. 6’2 already, 190 pounds, and carries it well from what I can tell. Self lists at RB/DL, I can see him playing OLB too if the coaching staff deems it the right fit. He’s a track and field contributor too. I’ve got a feeling he’ll be a known local name in due time.

-Intriguing athlete from the greater Philadelphia area that I think is sitting on a ton of untapped potential at this point
-A very good looking athlete that looks like a future standout at Linebacker if he continues to grow. If not at Linebacker, I could see him being a nice Safety and/or Running Back as well
-On top of his ability on offense and defense, I’m told he’s a former soccer player and watching him kick the ball without any formal coaching, is something to surely take in
