Summer Recruiting Heat: New Jersey’s July Recruiting Update #3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were a handful of additional prospects who have decided their college intentions since our recruiting updates earlier this month (<a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/early-bird-gets-the-worm-early-july-recruiting-update-part-ii/">here</a> and <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/summer-recruiting-heat-new-jerseys-july-recruiting-update-2/">here</a>). Today's update is a mixed bag - some 204 graduates, a few post-graduate updates, and a 2023 graduate we have not yet celebrated. See where these young men are continuing their academic and athletic careers below.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["375324"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Brown, who was recently ranked by Prep Redzone as the #6 linebacker in New Jersey's 2024 recruiting class, is a 'backer who gets in the action early and often.

Initially a recruitment I missed, back on June 23 Brown announced that he has decided he will be heading north of Rasmey to the Carrier Dome and playing for the Syracuse Orange.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b4b4609c296"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jay_brownnn","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jay_brownnn </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"BJ Covington","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"East Orange","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"In 2023 it should come as no surprise that a Jaguar can change their spots to stripes.
