This kid will be a steal for which ever program brings him in, firmly believe that. I have written and praised his on field abilities for what feels like years now, was a pleasure to watch him develop and progress from a kid with potential to a young leader on his loaded football team. Currently leads the CEC Eagles with 55+ tackles to his name, 15 TFLs too. Numbers are never going to illustrate what Pond brings to the table, however. Here’s to hoping coaches recruiting him can attend a CEC game before the year ends, he and his teammates are worth the trip. Shippensburg and West Chester have shown interest recently, both programs do a great job scouting eastern PA.

• love seeing these two work through two weeks. Colin Walker Colin Walker 6'1" | 210 lbs | LB Conwell-Egan | 2025 State PA has been flying to the football from his OLB/ILB position, getting involved in as many plays as he can. I spoke about wanting to see Walker grow into the position and produce, he’s doing just that so far, presumably leading the team in tackles so far. Stuffing runs between the tackles, a sack registered as well. Walker will fly hash to hash to clean up tackles, hoping he keeps up this tempo.
• Gavin Pond had himself a half against Kensington, absolutely wrecking screens at the LOS, making his presence felt as a drifting LB who can defend against the run or pass. Not sure if I ever remember seeing Pond on offense, but the kid scored from a couple yards out via handoff in this one too. A scoop and score, all carried out by Pond cemented this game for CEC. I know Pond will look back at this one fondly.

5’11, 205, 4.35 GPA, 1st-Team All-Catholic OLB honors, led the program in total tackles.

One of my favorite linebackers in the state, one that any team in the state could win with or because of. Well-coached, a linebacker who actually translates his technique onto the field, Gavin Pond Gavin Pond 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Conwell Egan Catholic | 2024 State PA is back to live in opposing backfields. That’s not hyperbole, a ridiculous number of TFLs are recorded on tape. Pond will likely be back at his OLB / Thief role where he can optimally serve as a slot-defending DB, or blitz and create havoc in the trenches. The Egan defense now has three top 300 prospects stationed, two in the secondary and a senior Pond who is ready to cash in on a career filled with hard work. Timely blitzer, can ward off low-effort blocks from WRs/TEs/RBs, he’s even a nuisance on special teams. Pond’s an overall tough defender to game plan for considering the various skills he brings to the table. Multiple sacks to his name, multiple picks. Here’s to another productive senior campaign for the young man.

Another prospect who was present at our camp last month.

Pond is a player we’ve been keeping our close eye on and he continues to impress and build his stock. Solid foundational linebacker who tested well which included a 4.46 forty-yard dash. Perhaps a bit “undersized” at 5-foot-10 but we don’t believe that should take away from the player that Pond is.

He’s fundamentally sound but his athleticism allows him to be a valuable part of any defense. He was sticking with each and every running back he was matched up against during our camp and was one of our top standouts.

He’ll likely see a nice bump in our next rankings update thanks to the performance. He’s also very productive on the field, recoridng 84 tackles including five sacks and 43 tackles for a loss this past season for Conwell-Egan.
