Don Bosco tight end JT Geraci JT Geraci 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE Don Bosco Prep | 2027 State NJ has been a standout this season, and watching him in action has been a pleasure. At 6’5” and 230 pounds, his size immediately jumps out. However, what sets JT apart is his versatility. He’s not just a big target but a tight end who can split out wide, get open, and make plays after the catch. His athleticism in the open field is impressive for his size, and he consistently gains yards after contact.

Equally impressive is his ability as an in-line blocker. JT plays with solid leverage, using his length and strength to dominate one-on-one battles in the trenches. He’s reliable in sealing the edge and winning his blocking assignments on running plays. JT Geraci JT Geraci 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE Don Bosco Prep | 2027 State NJ has shown consistency in both facets of the game, and I expect him to continue making an impact throughout the season.

Much of JT Geraci JT Geraci 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE Don Bosco Prep | 2027 State NJ ‘s climb in the rankings has to do with oh-so-many possibilities a daring and imaginative play caller has with him in the huddle. A mismatch nightmare at the high school level, Geraci has too much size and speed for your typical linebacker or safety to match up with him. When running routes he uses double-moves to create space and uses his hands to make catches, extending his arms to play keep away from defenders. Although I hate to compare high school players, let alone freshman, to NFL players, the way defenders have a difficult time bringing him down by the waist and thighs as he carries them for extra yardage reminds me of Gronk. Also a defensive end, Geraci has shown how he can dip & rip, also getting hands on consistently. Geraci was lined up in the slot often on offense and I am absolutely DYING to see him crack blocks someone into oblivion.

A really big, good-looking kid at almost 6-foot-5. Long arms and the ability to run routes like a wide receiver at this point are going to make him a tough mismatch. Also plays basketball and lacrosse at a high level.

-Living just over the New York border, Geraci is a very promising prospect that will be attending traditional New Jersey powerhouse Don Bosco Prep for high school

-Measured in at 6-foot-4 and 12, and tipped the scales at 187-pounds. His length and size were on display throughout the camp and was a tough matchup for some of the smaller Defensive Backs

-Moved significantly better than I thought he would. Has improved his speed and overall athleticism since I first saw him as a sixth-grader. Geraci ran the forty in 5.06 and was clocked at a 4.81 in the shuttle

A huge target at the Tight End position, Geraci stands just a hair short of 6-foot-5 and in the neighborhood of the 200-pound range. As a prospect that is stretching taller each day, he’ll have the next four years to add significant weight on to the long frame. Geraci played this season for the Bergen County Stars out of New Jersey and will stay in the Garden State, as heads to Don Bosco Prep for high school.

Already standing 6-foot-4 and showing no signs of his growth slowing down, Geraci is one of the most coveted 2027 prospects in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. Unlike the majority of athletes who play Tight End on the youth level, Geraci isn’t a slow Wide Receiver they bumped inside, he’s truly a Tight End. Can stretch the field vertically but is more dangerous in the redzone or in the intermediate passing game. Geraci is a two-sport athlete (lacrosse) and also has an older brother (Alex) that plays football at Dartmouth.
