Raytel Bryant Raytel Bryant 5'9" | 180 lbs | DB Harrisburg | 2024 State PA is a talented player who can move all over the field and he makes plays. This year he has had 92 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks as well. He is a hybrid player who plays an in-box safety/linebacker. He was named 1st team linebacker for the Mid-Penn Conference a nice accomplishment.

Here are three Junior standouts who are all ready to make themselves known in the state. All three are top 250 prospects amongst their class, an area I could see improve for each kid by November. I expect there to be junior names that aren’t currently on my radar, yet these three have been impact players for some time now.

We talked briefly about Harrisburg’s potentially dominant front-seven. The Cougars deploy Reynolds and Wilkerson, now add two top 25 2024 defensive linemen in Ryan Epps Ryan Epps 6'1" | 235 lbs | DL Harrisburg | 2024 State PA and Micah Chambers Micah Chambers 6'0" | 205 lbs | DL Harrisburg | 2024 State PA .

Any time Ryan Epps Ryan Epps 6'1" | 235 lbs | DL Harrisburg | 2024 State PA posts a weekly Hudl, I fully expect the unexpected. The young man has an athletic build that can easily be molded to help pretty much anywhere along the front seven. If he has to play defensive tackle, he can do so at a high level. He’s a bit on the thick side but if he had to play middle linebacker, I could see him doing so at a high level as well. Epps recorded a whopping 17 TFLs last Fall. Add that to Reynolds’s 18.5 sacks and you’ve got a defensive front that will live in opponents’ backfields.

Now add an additional 10.5 sacks and 26 TFLs. The stats are ridiculous. This line represents Micah Chambers Micah Chambers 6'0" | 205 lbs | DL Harrisburg | 2024 State PA , the pass rusher opposite FBS-talent Terrell Reynolds Terrell Reynolds 6'2" | 230 lbs | DL Harrisburg | 2023 State PA . There is no way an opposing offense and key in on any one player, because his counterpart, either Reynolds or Chambers, can break a game open by themselves. Fun group to watch.

A ton of attention is paid to the Cougar defensive front, which is understandable. Would like to show love to a possible name to know in Junior Raytel Bryant Raytel Bryant 5'9" | 180 lbs | DB Harrisburg | 2024 State PA . A former PRZ Camp standout, my eyes will be squarely focused on how far Bryant’s development has come since this past January.
