Expert Analysis

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

A fantastic performance put forth by sophomore DE/EDGE prospect Jayson Nitz Jayson Nitz 6'1" | 230 lbs | DL/EDGE St. Joseph's Prep | 2027 State PA . Awesome to see him grow up in a flash. Worked opposite Alexander Haskell Alexander Haskell 6'4" | 255 lbs | EDGE St. Joseph's Prep | 2026 State PA . Worked mainly with his hand in the dirt, occasionally with it off. Recorded two sacks and two TFLs if my memory serves me right. Worked relentlessly off the edge. Nitz was a huge reason Walls couldn’t get comfortable in the pocket.

Jayson Nitz Jayson Nitz 6'1" | 230 lbs | DL/EDGE St. Joseph's Prep | 2027 State PA flashed some legit skills last year in spot duty for St. Joseph’s Prep. He does a great job of getting off the ball quickly. Several times in film he beat offensive lineman off the ball. Nitz shows good technique by engaging and using his hands against the offensive lineman. Nitz also shows a motor that never stops. Nitz should get more playing time next year and I expect him to flash more.

Nitz was easily the top, most consistent performer of the offensive line/defensive line group. The South Jersey prospect dominated INDY’s and stood out amongst the defensive lineman, for a second PRZ Next camp in a row. His lower body strength is really impressive also has very violent fast hands. Showed the best reactions and timing in his drills. Smooth athlete. In 1v1s Nitz was quick, violent, and in control. Incredible body flexibility helped him win on the outside with speed. Was able to win inside with really solid strength from his base and great hand work. He’ll be joining Cayden Ohler at St. Joe’s Prep in Philadelphia next year for high school ball. Not a bad start to the next generation of Defensive Linemen, for Head Coach Tim Roken and the defending state champs.

Nitz attended our spring camp in May of 2022 as a seventh-grader and was named a top performer. He followed it up with an MVP performance this past Saturday after a relentless showing on the front.
