A Tier 1 Defensive Back in the New Jersey 2030 class, via Prep Redzone Next as of August 2026.

While he may ultimately end making more of an impact as a WR, Harvey is one of the top DBs entering high school this year. Played on the same Deptford 14U team in 2025 as Haiden Redman Haiden Redman 5'10" | 176 lbs | DB Deptford | 2030 State NJ and Jaylen Davis Jaylen Davis 5'9" | 160 lbs | DB St. Peter’s Prep | 2030 State NJ .

Ja’zi was a splash target for Youngshinerz. He’s lengthy and has excellent body control. He is a true deep threat with his speed and ability to adjust to the ball. He made several splash plays and had some unreal highlights over the weekend.

Right off the bat, I have to say—I am blown away by how impressive Ja’zi Harvey Ja’zi Harvey 5'9" | 145 lbs | DB/WR Camden Eastside | 2030 NJ looked in 2024. His highlights from this past season suggest that Ja’zi may be one of the most talented players in New Jersey’s 2030 class.

With the majority of his tape highlighting his offensive snaps, Ja’zi proved he can be just as productive whether taking handoffs in the backfield or running routes downfield. As a receiver, Ja’zi demonstrated explosive leaping ability, consistently outcompeting defenders for the ball throughout the fall. With phenomenal body control, spatial awareness, and elite hand-eye coordination, Ja’zi is always the favorite in 50/50 situations.

If his receiving skills weren’t enough to impress, then his ability to carry the rock should convince you that he’s a special talent. Extremely agile with the ball in his hands, there were multiple instances of Ja’zi planting his foot, completely changing direction, and accelerating away as he found daylight. Ja’zi is the type of athlete that will attract early offers.
