Already a Colgate commit, linebacker Cole Toddings Cole Toddings 6'2" | 195 lbs | LB Barnegat | 2025 State NJ did everything he could for Barnegat last weekend. While the team did not walk away from Toms River East with a win, they were able to confirm that they have one of the best linebackers in the NJ 2025 class. Cole was all over the place for the Bengals last Thursday night. Cole is an intelligent defender that understands game situations and can close in on a ball carrier very quickly. I think Cole’s acceleration catches runners off guard, because they seem to misjudge his speed when he comes in for the hit. Cole made it very apparent that he was going to get involved in each and every play, as he racked up 15 tackles and 2 sacks. Cole did an exceptional job containing the QB in Week 0. Every time they tried to scramble out of the pocket Cole got out of his coverage quickly and B-lined it the edge to cut the quarterback off. They go up against Freehold Borough this weekend which should give the team an opportunity to bounce back.

The Barnegat Bengals had a menace of a LB roaring off the edge each and every play last fall. At 6’2″ 195lbs Cole Toddings Cole Toddings 6'2" | 195 lbs | LB Barnegat | 2025 State NJ , who also plays hoops for the Bengals, made 94 tackles (19 TFL), 2 sacks, 7 QB pressures, 1 Int, 2 FF, and 1 PBU while playing both edge LB and TE all season.
An edge rusher must be quick off the snap – Toddings is no exception to this. He is a speed demon when in pursuit from the backside, yet disciplined in both playing bootlegs and triple option coming both ways. I might attribute this to his week-to-week film study and buying into his team’s game plan. Toddings is physical when taking oncoming blockers, preferring to be the hammer and not the nail. He also has enough speed to slip inside blockers time-to-time. It appears that he is not often asked to play coverage, but is capable, and rallies to the the ball with ease on routes underneath him. As a TE, Toddings is a pretty smooth route runner and makes sure to catch with his hands. He is an adequate blocker, although he would benefit to take some of defensive tenacity and apply it to the other side of the ball.
Toddings is a really nice chess piece on the field for the Tigers. Believe it or not, this talent is only just completed his sophomore campaign. There is a lot of upside and promise to come for Toddings in the next two seasons.
