previously debuted inside the Top 50 and remains firmly inside the Top 100 at No. 98 despite movement around him. At 6’3, 240 pounds with a 76-inch wingspan and a 3.1 GPA, the physical profile continues to point toward a high-level defensive end projection. He recently attended Rutgers and Temple camps, and I would not be surprised if Temple eventually decides to extend an offer. Stokes-Chism has undergone tremendous physical growth over the last several years, which remains one of the biggest reasons I continue to believe in his long-term upside. My grade on him has not changed, as I still view him as an FBS-level prospect. The floor remains strong because of the frame and athletic tools, while the ceiling rises if recruiting traction continues. His drop in the rankings is more about others rising than any decline in his evaluation. More Hudl tape and updated reps should significantly strengthen his recruiting profile and could easily push him back toward the upper portion of these rankings.

looked every bit like a player who belongs where he’s currently slotted. Already ranked well, a top 50 PA 2028. After watching him work, test, and dominate 1v1s, I have every right to elevate

‘s rank even further than he already has risen throughout the last year. At the worst, he’ll stay put in his current range.

, he too had a nice outing. Chism had some impressive times in the Shuttle Run and L Drill which shows you why he is one of the most versatile linemen in the state.

– Stokes put an exclamation point on his youth career, by helping the Brick City Lions 13U team–which is based out of New Jersey–to a strong finish at AYF Nationals
– Have seen him several times and he looks like he’s starting to hit his stride as prospect. Has gotten noticeably taller in the last calendar year, listing himself as a 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds now
– It was a busy 2023 football season for Stokes-Chism, to say the least. He played both center and defensive tackle for Brick City, the SHSB Saints and Pennsylvania Little Quakers this fall

Read EvaluationAlan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
Out of the limited sample size of middle school offensive and defensive linemen, Stokes-Chism looked to have the biggest amount of potential at the camp. Really like the Pennsylvania native’s build, with longer legs and arms for a prospect standing 5-foot-7 and 180-pounds. Took reps on both the offensive and defensive line.
