Anton’s recruitment is really starting to take off like a rocket ship this spring so far. One of my top guys in the 2029 class that I got eyes on for his first varsity game this past fall, it is no surprise to me that so many P4 schools are coveting him as a prospect. Over just the last few days Anton has picked up offers from Marshall, WVU, Notre Dame and South Carolina. That brings his total to 8 offers, and five coming from Power 4 schools. Anton is set to be one to top players in the state going forward and easily him being a 20-30+ offer kid.

Manning put together a solid freshman-year season, making 39 total tackles (21 solo, 13 TFL’s) and sacking the quarterback eight times. His early offer list includes Maryland and Penn State.

The #1 Edge defender and #5 Overall prospect in the recent 2028 PRZ MD Rankings just picked up his first two offer recently. Both were Power 4 Offers from Univ. of Maryland and Penn State. A player I saw in the beginning of the year live in his first ever varsity game and Anton balled out from the first snap. Surprised it took this long for him to get his first offers as he is easily one of the top freshman prospects in the area. I expect plenty more to come Anton’s way as more schools get out in see him this winter & spring.

A player who I got to see in his first varsity game week 1 of the season and Anton made an immediate impact from the first series. Anton fought/ripped through the OTs block, flattened down the line and made the tackle on the RB in the backfield. He then proceeded to come off the edge pressure the QB with his hands up and in his face to affect the pass and end the drive. That’s 2 impact plays right off the bat of his HS career and was already making his presence felt.

Anton is a player who stood out even in warm-ups. Asking Coach Van Zile who the freshman was that he liked, him pointing Anton out and he passed the eye ball test right away. 6’2″ 220+ with a nice lean muscled frame, good lower half and solid length. Mainly playing as an Edge/OLB for Gilman currently I expect Anton to fill out well and could even see him growing into a 240-260lbs rush DE in time.

He plays with excellent burst off the snap and is a player who is constantly in the backfield. I was impressed with his physicality for a freshman. He would take on blockers, over power them to win at POA and fights through contact. Anton also showed good hand work for a freshman, flashed some swim moves and active hands. A good athlete as well, he is able to take angles to get skinny and get to the ball quick, can bend/flatten and runs on his toes with energy & urgency. Currently Anton holds no offers but I expect that to change soon. He is a player making his mark this year and I see big things for him in the future.
