Another New Jersey name is up next, this time we head to Bergen County for Don Bosco Prep Prospect . The talented DB wore #7 this past weekend.

Stokes-Rider is a taller and lengthier prospect which gave him an advantage over taller WR’s. He showed good hands, and was quick with his direction changes. I liked the skillset he brought, and he has the potential to be a future star.

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Esan Stokes-Rider is a stud out of Don Bosco Prep who will be representing the 2030 class and the state of New Jersey at the “RIZE” in Jackson, New Jersey. He has a great chance to really make an impact as this camp as he usually does in competition. He is one name to watch for certain and someone who will be a standout in his position group. Watch out for this one!

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

With some impressive film, bursts off the line with explosive speed, creating separation from the snap and making life difficult for any defender in front of him. He consistently high-points the ball, using his length and timing to win battles in the air. With a physical edge, E’san fights for every ball in traffic, turning so-called 50/50 balls into near guarantees when thrown his way. Once the ball is in E’san’s hands, he accelerates quickly—capable of turning a short slant across the middle into a game-breaking gain.

Standing out with long arms and legs, E’san is already showing flashes of the prototypical frame college scouts dream of. As he continues to grow and develop, that upside will only become more apparent. On defense, he’s just as dangerous—an instinctive, lockdown defensive back who tracks the ball with precision and knows how to snatch it out of the air. Whether he’s on offense or defense, this two-way standout is a name to watch as he racks up reps and big-time plays.
