Amori McNeil Amori McNeil 6'1" | 185 lbs | DB Don Bosco Prep | 2026 State NJ , a 6’1”, 192-pound standout from Hudson Catholic, has the tools to become a household name. His frame—featuring a 75-inch wingspan and 9.5-inch hands—immediately stands out. On offense, McNeil’s physicality is his calling card. As a wide receiver, he thrives in contested situations, using his body to create space and catch through contact. While not the most explosive athlete, his smooth movements and ability to read coverage downfield make him effective.

However, McNeil’s long-term potential shines brightest on defense. His physicality and instincts stand out whether at deep safety or box linebacker. He reads plays well, tackles with authority, and fights off blocks in space. While he already shows flashes of ball skills with interceptions on tape, taking his impact in pass coverage to the next level—through more pass breakups and turnovers—could cement him as a defensive force.

With offers from programs like Penn State, Pitt, and UConn, McNeil is already on radars. His ability to dominate on defense, particularly at safety, positions him as a difference-maker heading into next season. Expect McNeil to elevate his game and make his presence felt on both sides.

McNeil, who was part of the Hudson Catholic squad last season but could not finish the year because of injuries and roster size, has seen the early returns on new Head Coach Lamar McKnight’s taking over the program. In 2024, McNeil has picked up 6 D1 offers from UConn, JMU, Akron, Arkansas St, West Virginia, and his most recent, which came this month from Penn State.
