Today’s update is made up of recruits from the class of 2024 – and highly intelligent recruits at that, as many held offers or committed to Ivy League Schools. See below where these young men are continuing their academic and athletic careers below.
Martin, a powerful bulldozing-like interior lineman from Delbarton, has decided as to where he will continue his athletic and academic career. After picking up several offers from institutions such as New Hampshire, Bucknell, Bryant, Holy Cross, Fordham, and Lafayette, Martin decided on a school that offered him relatively earl in the process – UPenn. This another great get for UPenn talent wise, but an even better get for Martin as he gets the chance to play for, learn, and grow at an Ivy League school.
Perhaps the single most celebrated and viral commitments of the month belongs to Parks. A standout receiver that I have already covered a multiple times, the Cedar Creek Pirate has declared where he will be attending college after his days tormenting teams in the West Jersey Football League is complete. Heading up to Easton, MA Parks will call Stonehill College home for the next several years as he looks to continue is prodigious success for the Skyhawks.
Reagan is a do-a-little-bit-of-everything type of prospect that excels in the high school game and coaches at the college level salivate over how they can picture utilizing his talents. After he calls it a career for the Herd up in Woodbury, the standout will be heading down south to play college football. Aside from location, not much will change for Reagan. He will still be part of a Herd, however, his new herd is made up of Bison – Bison that happen to call Howard University home.
When your top college football offers are from Harvard, Princeton, Army, and Brown I think you can say you made your mama proud. Deprima, a Ramapo Raider, apparently is way more than just your typical jock. The list of schools above is simply the short list of universities that liked his tape and his transcripts. Really though, could Deprima go wrong with whichever school he picked? Turns out that it was Harvard University that stood out above all the rest, as Deprima recently announced his commitment to play for the Crimson.
For some reason I get fired up when true centers announce their commitment. My bias leads me to think that they have a chance to start sooner-rather-than-later since they do not have to be “converted” to center. I truly hope this is the case for Ocean’s Caruso. After hitting the summer camp circuit hard, showcasing his abilities to schools such as Villanova, Monmouth, Holy Cross, Colgate, Sacred Heart, and Old Dominion, it was one of the final schools he visited that jumped all over him and he jumped to them with open arms. After graduating in the spring of 2024, Caruso intends to head up to Massachusetts to attend Merrimack and play ball for the Warriors.
Highlights
Rossetti is the only prospect to represent New Jersey’s Big Central Conference on today’s list. Hailing from one of the most well ran programs in the state at Westfield, the linebacker prospect has found a new home upon graduating in 2024. Announcing his commitment shortly after competing at the B.O.N.E. camp up in New England, perhaps he drew the attention of this school as he competed at that event. Rossetti will be heading to Providence, RI to play for the Brown Bears. The current Blue Devil also held offers from Marist and Sacred Heart.
