Kemontae moves up over 50 spots after multiple strong performances this spring. He moves into the top 50 overall and is the #7 overall edge prospect.
I saw Kemontae back in the spring and he stood out as an offer kid right away. A lean Edge Rusher, that is now starting to fill out with good bulk. He can play stand up edge or put his hand in the dirt. Displays nice burst off the snap, can bend the edge, fights through contact, and does a good job keeping his outside arm free. Kemontae brings good energy on the field, he plays fast and will lay a hit. He ws DCSAA Def. Player of the year this past season and finished with 20 sacks. Kemontae made his commitment to App State this past month and with his length/frame he still has tons of potential going forward.

is a rapidly rising prospect whose post-season momentum has matched his dominant production on the field. Since the conclusion of the season, Chaplin has added two notable offers from Morgan State and Syracuse, signaling that college programs are taking notice of his disruptive presence off the edge.
Chaplin’s game is built on lethal speed and explosion, consistently putting offenses in difficult situations when dropping back to pass. His ability to get off the ball and stress tackles forces hurried decisions and collapsed pockets. That pressure translated directly to production, as he finished the season with an eye-catching 20 sacks and 25+ tackles for loss, numbers that underscore his impact in the backfield.
With elite edge speed, proven production, and recruiting momentum trending upward, Chaplin is a name to track closely as evaluations continue and more programs look for a difference-making pass rusher.
