Dante Lamonica will be a rising sophomore in the fall of 2024. He stands 6’0, 156 lbs, and has a lean frame. Lamonica flashed a burst into the route and showed his one-step cuts to be an effective skill to use to get separation from defenders. His performance on the day identified him as a prospect to keep an eye on as he goes through his high school career. He is in the class of 2027 and has plenty of time to continue to grow and develop his skill set. His performance earned him honorable mention recognition.

Dante Lamonica
Dorchester, MA / Roxbury Latin C/O 2027
National Middle School Scout Director Al Pops Notes: March 2023 –rn– Earned a spot on the PRZ Next National Watchlist with his performance at the camp this past weekend
– A long, lean Wide Receiver/Defensive Back prospect. Can best describe him as wiry, because while he is on the thinner side, it’s obvious there’s a good amount of strength in that frame
– Older brother Tony was an All-New England selection at Buckingham Browne & Nichols in 2016-2017, before a stop at The University of New Hampshire and is now at FCS Stonehill College.
May 2023 – In the intro I mentioned the tough weather, LaMonica and others made the trip down from Massachusetts and certainly made the trip worth it. I got a look at LaMonica this past March and again this past weekend. Both times I liked what I saw out of the 5-foot-11 and 145-pounder. Not the fastest or most polished, but was consistently good. He’ll be at Roxbury Latin next year.
My Scout Analysis – He has quick feet and loose hips. Appears very wirey and lean with good athletic ability. Could become a top player in New England by senior season if he continues to develop with additional body weight and height.
