Expert Analysis
Alan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
The kid affectionately called “Big Joe” certainly fits the nickname, as he measured in at a whopping 6-foot-5 and 265 pounds at the PRZ Next Middle School Showcase–that’s up an inch and 20 pounds from the last measurements I had for him in the early fall. The big man took all of his reps as an offensive tackle, as that’s where he projects to play when he takes the field for St. Augustine Prep in the fall. Dipaola was clocked at a 6.04 in the forty, which may not seem like a good time, but for a prospect at his size and age, that was moving pretty well. The South Jersey native made the trip back up to North Jersey (fittingly enough, where his dad grew up) and had nearly every coach there asking about who he was. He did pretty well in 1-on-1’s, especially when he’s able to get his long arms locked out. Dipaola needs to improve lower body strength and explosion, while keeping a lower base at the point of contact; Once he inevitably gets more power in his glutes, hamstrings and hips, this will take care of it self. There is so much potential here, it’s scary. He proportionally carries his weight and looks like he will easily be north of 300 pounds in a year or two. Get very familiar here.

is a two-way lineman that is already getting a ton of attention from private schools in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Affectionately going by “Big Joe”, he’s listed as 6-foot-3 and 245-pounds and has the makings of a big time prospect. Playing this year for the Brigatine Rams, he’s lining up at right guard and defensive tackle. Defensively, I watched clips from three games and he was double-teamed on every play. Offensively, does a nice job of setting his base and not over extending. I like him a lot–on both sides of the ball.
