Read EvaluationCaleb Holfoth | Prep Redzone Scout
The only “Big” athlete here is Cocozzo. He played offensive line and linebacker for Stillwater, and at 255 pounds, he is probably the biggest linebacker in New York. Cocozzo moves so well in space that you would think he is 220lbs max, and when he blocks, he is consistently violent. He is a player whose best position is probably TBD until he is an upperclassman and you see how he continues to grow. If he can get big enough, there is no doubt he is one of the most effective IOL prospects in New York, but there is potentially a future at defensive end or he could even stick at LB. There are some unknowns about positioning from a recruiting standpoint, but one of the most intriguing overall players in New York.
