Nyko Monroe Nyko Monroe 5'9" | 170 lbs | DB/ATH/ATH St. Peter’s Prep | 2028 NJ has officially arrived as one of the state’s breakout defensive playmakers. Over the last two games, the young safety has shown the ability to impact every level of the defense — from blitzing off the edge to defending the deep ball. His performance against DePaul Catholic was a statement outing: one sack, two tackles for loss, and two crucial pass breakups, including one that saved a touchdown.

While Monroe may not have the prototypical size for the position, he more than makes up for it with instincts, toughness, and football IQ. He’s fearless in run support, wrapping up consistently in one-on-one situations and taking smart angles to the ball. His ability to diagnose plays quickly and deliver in space adds tremendous value to St. Peter’s Prep’s defense.
