2022 Production: 56 tackles, 20 TFLs, 4 sacks, 1 FF.

Anyone going up against the Burrs will have no choice but to gameplan for one of the best defensive linemen in the state. That being West Catholic’s Jayzen Flint Jayzen Flint 6'4" | 230 lbs | DL West Catholic | 2024 State PA . 1st-Team All-Catholic honors. Committed to Boston College. DE who can rush with his hand on or off the dirt. 4 sacks to his name, could have easily turned into 8. Smart football player with length and power, a great all-around athlete. Does a phenomenal job on tape forcing quarterbacks to escape or move in the pocket even if he isn’t recording TFLs or sacks. The same goes for RBs running outside of tackles. Upfield penetration made by Flint forces the football upfield where these stud LBs can clean up shop. Will be a lock to create pressure in the form of penetration, closing speed to the football when disengaging and/or unblocked is elite. Watch for more strip sacks, more PBUs leading to turnovers this Fall. Could see reps at TE/OLB too.

Jayzen Flint Jayzen Flint 6'4" | 230 lbs | DL West Catholic | 2024 State PA has bounced around the top 100 over the past years. Flint, now committed to Boston College, jumps back into the top 60. Flint is a kid that could easily jump back into the top five after his senior-year tape drops in November. We spoke about how loaded 50-80 is with pass-rushers, a ton of movement is expected after the next update. Flint is expected to separate himself from the pack. He, much like Slogik, has a real chance to play tight end this Fall and possibly even in the future at BC.

Flint is someone who is already beginning to see his recruitment take off with several Power Five offers but there should be plenty of more to come. This is mostly for those Group of Five and Power Five schools out there. Get this kid on campus this offseason, see how well he tests and you’re going to come away impressed with him.

Flint is another prospect that we’ve talked about quite a bit and someone who once we saw him at the Stock Up Showcase in January knew we had too low. There’s no doubt in our mind he’ll make a massive jump in our next update. He’s got the size and the physical skillset that will allow him to be a potential top of the line pass rusher at the next level.

Holds offers from Army, James Madison, UMass, Nebraska, and Temple. Plenty more should be on the way for Flint. We recently mentioned him in a players flying under the radar piece last month.

Here’s what we had to say.

“The 6-foot-3, 220+ pound defensive end out of West Catholic in Philadelphia was recently at our PrepRedzone Stock Up Showcase in Manheim and was super impressive. Overall, the size, athleticism, and talent is there. There’s no doubt about that.

As a defensive end, he’s still putting it all together but the potential payoff for him down the road could be huge.

He has good first step and burst, allowing him to either be quick to the punch or completely beat opposing offensvie lineman off the snap. Shows great closing speed on ball carriers as well, wrapping them up often in the backfield. Not only is he a good pass rusher but shows the ability to routinely get his hands up and use his 6-foot-3 frame to bat down passes at the line of scrimmage. Only going to continue to get better at defensive end has a high impact potential at the next level.”

Flint is someone who will see one of our biggest rises in the next rankings update.

He’s up to three D1 offers in UMass, Temple, and Monmouth with plenty of more to come.
