is making a big move—from St. Joe’s to Malcolm Shabazz—as the program enters a new era under head coach Nasir Gaines. The 6’3”, 260-pound edge rusher brings rare explosiveness and athleticism for his size. He’s a wide-bodied defender who can rush off the edge or kick inside. His highlight reel opens with a pick-six, showing how disruptive he can be. Clark already holds offers from Delaware State and Wofford, and whether he’s a full-time varsity contributor this fall or not, he’s a name that needs to be on every watch list heading into the season.

is only entering his freshman season. A physical, gritty D-lineman with a ton of upside, Melvin is one of those prospects that has the untapped potential to be as well recognized as any other D-lineman in his class. Getting Melvin into St. Josephs system is going to pay off dividends as they help him master his craft and continue to utilize his size, strength, and natural born ability. This is a name we should hear more and more about as each season passes by.

has should be enough to get every private school in New Jersey excited for what could be coming their way. At 6-foot and 220-pounds, he was one of the kids I was most excited about getting to see bump live. I watched him very closely throughout the day and my biggest takeaway is just how raw he was. From combine testing drills to one-on-one battles, there is so much untapped potential in him at this point, it’s scary. He won a lot of reps during 1-on-1 by simply being more physical and unrelenting than some of the offensive linemen he worked against. At this point, doesn’t have much of a pass-rusher move arsenal nor does he have his upper body and lower body working in tandem—and he still won reps. His two broad jumps were the worst two of the group, but I promise you he was likely a top-five kid in terms of overall athletic ability, he has just (assumingely) never been taught how to do the drills. Once he gets some serious coaching, I think there’s a bright future for Clark if and when he puts it all together.
