Another stud coming out of Bergen Catholic’s 2025 class, Naiim Parrish Naiim Parrish 5'11" | 185 lbs | DB Bergen Catholic | 2025 State NJ is another young shut down cornerback. He seems to have mastered so many aspects of his game very early in his career. Whether it’s breaking down to wrap up the runner, or baiting a QB to throw into his territory, there are few holes in Naiim’s game. With great anticipation and quickness, Naiim can change direction the moment the ball leaves the QB’s hand and make a play on it.

Naiim is another player with great size as a sophomore, and it will be interesting to see how big of an impact he will have these next two falls. He is a very well rounded cornerback, really going neck and neck with Jahmir for the best CB coming out of NJ in 2025.
