What's your biggest strength as a player, and how does it show up in games?
Versatility. At 6'4", 200 lbs, I play tight end and edge for Dumont and impact the game on both sides of the ball. It earned me North Jersey Football Player of the Week for our win over Ramsey, a northjersey.com "Mr. Versatility" feature, and Second Team All-Division on defense in 2025. I also hold a football offer from Kean University after my official visit on October 10.
What are you working to improve right now?
Raising my academic profile (my grades are improving this semester) and continuing to develop my game as a two-way player in the weight room and on film.
What are you looking for in a college program?
A program that will use my versatility at tight end and on the edge, gives real academic support, and competes for championships. I'm taking college visits through December and weighing every opportunity carefully. I'm also a baseball player and am being recruited in that sport as well.

Vasquez will be at Bergen Catholic next year for high school ball and is intriguing prospect in this 2027 class. He’s a three-sport athlete; In addition to football, he was also a member of the North Jersey Junior Basketball League-winning Dumont Huskies and his best sport, is probably baseball. There’s no questioning his athletic body type, or frame, at 6-foot-1 and 155 pounds. Though, it will be interesting to see how he develops on the football field. He’s a bit of a tweener at this point, with a wide receiver build but not the speed of one yet. Displays dependable hands and the length/flexibility to catch it off his shoelaces or go up and get it. I’m going to list him as a Tight End and we’ll see how development goes.
