Expert Analysis
Cory Lemer | Prep Redzone Scout
Farhat will enter his second season with Cardinal Hayes after playing with both New Dorp and Monsignor Farrell. Standing at 6’6″ 275 pounds, he displays an excellent build for a lineman.
He is a tall leaner Tackle who has received playing time since his Freshman season which shows in his experience on film. He has a good motor and plays with elite physicality. he always finishes blocks and shows good footwork and hand placement.
He can work on using his leverage more given his frame but there is a lot to like from the big Cardinal Hayes lineman who should receive interest given his extensive skills.

Farhat has a lot of film out. I have seen him at camp, and the former Monsignor Farrell & New Dorp OT had a strong first season with Cardinal Hayes. Farhat is a long, lean tackle prospect who has a lot of playing time under his belt with film since Freshman year.
Farhat plays with a great motor. He is physical and consistently finishes his blocks with violence. He shows good movement skills, and it starts with his foot speed. There is a lot to like with his movements and motor. Getting that pad level in a better spot and playing with better leverage will be big for his senior year. He has the measurables and should be a guy that coaches will really take a look at in a camp setting.

Other than being the only New Yorker on today’s eval, what else was Farhat the only one of ? He was the only rising freshman to make today’s eval. The young Farhat is a great looking young prospect. He has the height, length, and frame to be a FBS-sized prospect. After four full years of Monsignor Farrell’s S&C program I am certain he will tone, bulk up, and bend a great deal – they do an awesome job with their talent there. Farhat did a nice job competing by never giving up on a play if he was beat, as well as being coachable. He took feedback from coaches and applied it immediately in his next rep. Further, he seemed to avoid reverting to bad habits as coaches’ feedback seemed to stick as the afternoon continued.

spent last season on JV but there is a clear path for the 6’6 tackle to play this season and even jump on the radar of colleges. With his measurables alone he will generate some interest but when you watch the tape you see why he is a top prospect in this class. Farhat is a lean 6’6 and there is room for muscle and weight. He has good strength in his upper body and keeps defenders at length with his wingspan. He has the tools and traits for your ideal tackle prospect. JV to CHSFL Varsity is a big jump especially considering the DL talent this year but Farhat is a name to watch through the fall.

already has elite tackle size and length at 6’6 and while he still is raw as a pass blocker he showed several extremely promising traits this season. First, Farhat knows how to use his length, keeping defenders at a distance and being able to use his length to prevent speed rushers from winning outside. Farhat also has good power in his hands and showed he can send guys to the ground using mostly his upper body. Farhat does need to engage his lower half into his blocks more often to generate more power and work on his footwork and foot speed. Farhat has the physical traits and shows the flashes of being a top player in the class of 2026. One of the highest ceilings in the state for sure.
