About Myles
Expert Analysis
Marquisse Silva | Prep Redzone Scout
Film Analysis: Figueroa is a physically imposing freshman who immediately stands out on special teams and defense. His 2025 season film showcases a competitor who thrives on contact.
- Strengths: He is a tough, physical player whose willingness to tackle “pops” on film. Functioning primarily from a 2-high safety look, he excels in outside run support, triggering downhill aggressively to get his nose to the ball. He shows fluidity in navigating traffic to avoid blockers and make the play. He also contributes on special teams as a punter and a high-effort gunner making solo open-field tackles.
- Areas for Improvement: There is noticeable tightness in his hips and a lack of knee bend, which occasionally causes him to play too high in pursuit. The current film lacks significant coverage reps, making it difficult to evaluate his pass defense skills fully.
- Scout’s Take: Myles is a solid “rising prospect” with a frame that suggests he could grow into an Outside Linebacker (OLB) at the next level if the hip fluidity doesn’t improve for safety play.
Next Level Development:
Prioritize Verified Testing: Needs official numbers to validate his size and speed.
Skill Work: An off-season DB position coach is recommended to improve hip mobility and pad level.

, a rising freshman athlete from Phillips Exeter Academy, who has earned his place on the prestigious Prep Redzone New England Class of 2029 Ranking List! Standing at 6’1″ and weighing 175 pounds, Myles is making waves as an Athletic (ATH) dual-threat player, excelling both on defense as a Free Safety and on offense as a Wide Receiver.
In the early evaluation of the 2025 season, Myles showcased his impressive skills with a tenacity that rivals seasoned players. On defense, his tackling is purposeful, and he takes excellent pursuit angles to ensure he closes in on ball carriers effectively. Offensively, he exhibits remarkable hands and employs a solid stiff arm to keep defenders at bay, demonstrating why he’s already viewed as one of the top prospects at his level.
We’re excited to announce that Myles is currently ranked as the #12 prospect in the New England region for the class of 2029, and his potential is sky-high! Stay tuned for his athletic testing numbers, which promise to elevate his college projection even further! 🎉🏈

Line him up at either Wide Receiver or at Safety and there’s a good chance

is going to make a play. The 2024 season began with him being named a Team Captain and it concluded with him winning the Coaches Award at The Fessenden School. Up to a legitimate 6-foot and a muscular 170-pounds, Figueroa should have any and all NEPSAC schools looking to have him come in next year. When looking at this age group, often times a prospect will get an ATH (Athlete) designation if they’re playing one position currently but project to another. In Figueroa’s case, he gets the ATH designation because he’s equally as talented at WR and DB.

A Wide Receiver/Defensive Back prospect that has already established himself as one of the best two-way athletes in Massachusetts, as of August 2024. He enters his reclassed eighth-grade season battle-tested after playing with TenFold, Mass Elite Football and of course his team at The Fessenden School. He’s a great option as a Wide Receiver, but I really like him on the defensive side of the ball right now–can play Safety or Cornerback. Long limbs and reliable hands too.

Rounding out the list of 2029s and 2030s that impressed me at the PRZ Next Middle School Camp in New Jersey, was wide receiver Myles Figueroa out of Massachusetts. Figueroa is a reclassed prospect due to his younger age, but talent is talent. He did a very good job of getting open deep and using his length and ball skills to haul in some passes. At this point Figueroa is significantly quicker, than he is faster. For example, his 4.56 in the shuttle was a top-4 time amongst all wide receivers but his forty time (5.5) was in the bottom third of times. For what it’s worth, all times were recorded with a stopwatch. Nonetheless, next year he looks to become the man at one of the most dominant middle school-aged programs in The Bay State, The Fessenden School.
