has remained in our top ten for the past year and deservedly so. Manchester’s first team all region defensive end, Chalkley has over 10 division 1 offers and counting. We predicted his rise before the his sophomore campaign and he’s paid it off. Chalkley is coming off a state playoff run that was perhaps cut shortly with Manchester’s last second loss against Thomas Dale. He for sure looks motivated this off-season and will be a high priority target for many Power 4 schools this offseason.

Good height and frame, with room to add mass. Defensive End prospect who could be used across the line as he adds mass to his frame. Good athletic ability with very good foot quickness, lateral agility, acceleration, balance, good explosiveness, and foot speed. Good upfield burst with very good use of hands to engage offensive linemen and set himself up to shed the block keeping his eyes in the backfield to make a run/pass read. Has the strength to stalemate the initial block of the offensive linemen and wins his rep with his very good processing and block shed in the second half of the play with relentless pursuit. Very good pass rush, using his speed, flexibility, and quickness to get past the offensive linemen with a very good finish to the Quarterback to disrupt the pass. Good run defender showing good range with his lateral agility and speed to defend the edge of the formation and inside. Overall, a good prospect who currently holds an offer from Liberty University, and more will come for him as he continues to develop his game.

stands out on almost every snap, I broke down his play last month but it has to be mentioned he is a prime stock riser candidate when our next rankings come out.
Scary to think about it because he is already ranked 7th overall.

is a force at defensive end for the Lancers. Four division 1 offers and counting, the young man gets after the opposing linemen low and great arm extension. He will be a terror for offenses everywhere in Virginia.

Camden is a player to watch over the next few years. He aligns as a down 30 front end and plays with relentlessness every play, pursuing the ball carrier until the whistle blows. He has good initial quickness off the snap and very good use of hands. He has already developed a good swim and rip move and has the processing to swat offensive linemen’s hands away during their punch. He has good flexibility and bend to dip past an offensive lineman and has good gap discipline when defending the run. Good lower body strength to hold a double team and shows the ability to split it. Good range defending to the sideline and able to track down ball carriers who gain the edge. He is disciplined in his pass rush lane, conscious to not over rush the QB in the pocket, and often used to set the depth of the pocket to catch the QB as he steps up. He has already received a Division 1 offer from Appalachian State, and I expect more will come for him.
