, had an elite season for the Gaels, and is seeing his recruitment build following an impressive year. Standing at 6’2″ 250-Pounds, he displays an elite frame for the Defensive Lineman position.
Farrell’s hands are elite, and his ability to utilize his speed and strength while rushing the pocket, sets him apart from a ton of other Defensive Lineman. He is excellent in the run game, and can stuff holes with ease. Farrell is a rising impressive defensive prospect, who should make noise this season.

Farrell was another unstoppable force for the Gaels D-Line on Friday Night. The Junior had multiple plays where he reached the backfield.
Farrell found himself double teamed on a few rushes throughout the game. I like his motor, and he attacks the line with anger and strength. He has a good blend of strength and hands, but needs to develop his pass rushing tool bag more. He is a raw upcoming DL.

is a strong DE and DT. In similar fashion, he has the ability to rush the passer with multiple techniques. Rushing from over the center, the edge position flashed. This is a player that plays to win the leverage battle hence the uprise. That ability to power drive linemen backwards was visible. Undoubtedly, his ability to maintain his lower body leverage when attacking both the run and pass showed.

– New York City is not exactly known for turning out football players, like it is for basketball. However, kids like Farrell and some of the other 2027 prospects, make it a necessity to always check on the Big Apple
– Good size for a defensive lineman that can play outside as a defensive end on the interior at this point, standing 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds. Like Cassamajor above, there has been a noticeable transformation in appearance and body composition over the last six months
– A product of the Boogie Down Bronx, there are several years to go before we find out if Farrell blossoms in to a viable prospect but there’s a little bit of a pipeline there. Names like Saquon Barkley (New York Giants), Chris Canty (Super Bowl Champion with the New York Giants), Willie Colon (Super Bowl Champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers) and Ricky Proehl (17-year NFL career and two-time Super Bowl Champion) were all born in the Bronx
