was one of the bright spots for Central York in the loss. He was outstanding as a linebacker, as he made several good tackles against an elite running back and offensive lineman. He also made one of the best catches from his tight end position when he caught the ball with one hand to catch the ball. It was a great catch by him. The Villanova football commit made a huge impact in this game.

is a good edge defender who is hard to block one-on-one. His ability to fire off the ball and be disruptive against opposing offenses makes him tough to deal with. He also has a motor that never quits as he chases plays all over the field. Harrisburg has a lethal run game, and they will need Gurley to play at his best to have a chance to upset a talented Harrisburg team.

Collin Gurley is a difference maker as an edge player for Central York. He gets off the ball quicker than most edge defenders, and that allows him to get into the offensive backfield. He also has great strength, and that allows him to rip through offensive linemen trying to block him. He is also a good athlete who moves well, and that allows him to chase down plays all over the field. Gurley is committed to Villanova; this is a perfect landing spot for him.

is a dynamic defensive lineman, linebacker, and tight end. He has the skill to play all 3 at the college level, so it was not surprising to see him commit to play for Villanova. Villanova is a great program, and they saw the value in Gurley.

6’2, 230 pounds. Self-reported 3.7 GPA. 10.5 sacks registered on his way to earning 1st-Team DL in the YAIAA this past Fall.
Two-way production yet I can’t see a program recruiting him to play anywhere but defensive end. This not a knock on his capabilities as a TE at Central York,

reeled in 20+ catches for more than 200+ receiving yards and two scores to boot. Gurley is as advanced a pass-rusher as we have in the state, putting aside maybe one or two names. 23 hurries to his name, 45+ tackles, eight of which went for TFLs. Received a rare D2 early offer out of Shippensburg a while back, yet I’m under the impression Gurley has outgrown the projection to the Division II level. Game Day visits to UConn and Maryland, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Gurley is close to being offered by FCS schools recruiting Central PA, even G5s like Temple, UConn, or similar programs.

is a prospect who will continue to rise in the recruiting circles. Gurley can do it all from the tight-end position. He catches the ball extremely well, in limited opportunities. He shows he understands route concepts well and how to find the opening in the zone. As a blocker, he shows that he can block in a variety of ways. He is a big physical blocker who locks down on defenders who he blocks. Gurley recently picked up his 1st offer from St. Francis, I expect more to come his way.

, for Saint Francis to pull the trigger post-camp. A no-brainer here, good on SFU to make an early impact on a young man who will likely blow up this time next year. Identifying a kid early could pay dividends.

is a dynamic tight end who can catch the ball and block at a high level. As a pass catcher, he runs good routes and catches the ball well. I like the diversity of his pass routes. He caught passes on screens, shorter routes like out routes, and then deep routes over the middle. Gurley also catches the ball well in traffic. As a blocker he is excellent. He can block on the perimeter and as he is moving. In both of these types, Gurley does a good job moving his feet to block defenders. He also has the strength to block defenders. Gurley has a good combination of both catching the ball and blocking as a tight end. Gurley is a talented tight end and I can’t wait to see his progress next year.
