Although this article is focused on linemen, one skill player that is set to return for the Falcons that I failed to include on my piece covering the St. Joseph (Metuchen) Falcons’ Skills was Ashton Irving Ashton Irving 6'3" | 175 lbs | DB St. Joseph's (Metuchen) | 2025 State NJ (sorry, Ashton). The towering safety made 30 tackles along with 2 interceptions, 1 FF, and 1 Int, while being no slouch on offense with 15 receptions for 249 yards. Irving does an outstanding job on both sides of the ball extending his arms to catch the ball. For whatever reason, he also has a knack for making grabs as he is falling to the ground. On the opposite side of that spectrum, Irving has the capability to go up and win 5050 balls in double coverage. Defensively he does a nice job of breaking passes up; however, I implore Irving to include clips of form tackling on his highlights as there currently are not any – this makes me, and college coaches alike, question his tackling ability.
