, an elite Edge rusher who already holds offers from Akron and Syracuse, will be headed to Roman Catholic in Philadelphia this fall. A native of Blackwood, New Jersey in Camden County, the reigning Defensive Line MVP of the Prep Redzone Next Middle School Camp will be taking his talents across the Delaware River. Following a tremendous youth career with the Deptford Spartans, he had a number of potential suitors but ultimately ended up joining the Sons of Cahill.

His performance can be summed up with one word: Woah.
Santiago was one of several member off the Deptford Spartans 14U team this past season, a team that was one of the best on the youth level that I’ve seen in quite some years. Speaking of his teammates, Santiago was neck-and-neck with

for the Overall Defensive MVP throughout the entire camp. Already claiming an offer from Syracuse, it became evident very quickly that it wasn’t hype — it’s for real. He used some ungodly strength coming off the edge to push over and through would-be blockers on the Offensive Line.

perform live, his size and overall dimensions immediately stand out and suggest he is far advanced for his age group. He already possesses a high school–level build, with the frame of a true edge rusher who looks capable of translating his physical tools into production. Anthony is built to bend off the edge, engage in effective hand fighting, and use his speed to stress offensive tackles. His combination of length and athleticism projects well to collapsing the pocket and forcing quarterbacks into rushed throws and poor decisions. Based on his profile alone, he is a highly intriguing edge presence with significant upside as he continues to develop.

You want to know of a beast in the trenches out of the 2030 class in the state of New Jersey?! Well, I have your guy right here and his name is

! Santiago is a complete beast at the defensive end position and the tight end position. The young man is already standing at 6’3 and weighing in at 185 LBS. He is going to be a complete monster on the field at the high school level and become a force of a mismatch on both ends of the field. He is a stud and is a name to follow not just in New Jersey but in all of the 2030 class!

Impressive skill guy on the outside that has, and can, line up as a WR or a TE depending on scheme and play. Has the speed of a WR but the size of a TE. Picked up his first verbal offer from Syracuse in the summer of 2024.
