Robert Rossano Robert Rossano 5'11" | 245 lbs | OL Toms River North | 2028 State NJ attended the PRZ Next Middle School event this past January and performed well; This past weekend at the PRZ Next Middle School Combine, the future Toms River North Mariner matched that effort with another strong showing. Up 10 pounds from the winter, Rossano measured in at a stout 5-foot-11 and 245-pounds. If it wasn’t clear before, Rossano certainly confirmed that he’s an interior Offensive Lineman at the combine this past weekend. He did well with the opposing bigs on the inside and was strong/physical at the point of attack. His feet got heavy at times and the more athletic rushers gave him a bit of a hard time once they started revving their engines, but if he was able to get inside hands and sit, he more than held his own.

I was very proud of the way Rossano handled his business at the New Jersey Prep Redzone Next Middle School Camp this past Sunday. Rossano was arguably the top offensive lineman I saw during tryouts for the 14U New Jersey AYF National All-Star this past September and I felt good about him. Then, I saw him again this past December at AYF Nationals in Florida and he was playing with a huge cast on his hand and forearm, due to a fracture in practice leading up to the tournament–meaning he obviously wasn’t 100%. Without more to go off of, I left him off the initial New Jersey 2028 Watchlist for offensive linemen. His performance at camp, erased any doubt and he earned a spot on that list. Is starting to fill out nicely, as I had him at 215 pounds in September and he is now up to 235. He moved very well and was clearly one of the more athletic and versatile Hog Molly’s.

As dominate as Roth was on the defensive line, Robert Rossano Robert Rossano 5'11" | 245 lbs | OL Toms River North | 2028 State NJ was his counterpart on the offensive line. The Toms River prospect looked to be atop the list of offensive linemen at the tryout and at 5-foot-11 and a proportioned 220 pounds (size not verified), he has the versatility to play anywhere across the front. Played with an attitude the whole tryout and didn’t stop until the guy across from him was on his back or bulldozed out of the hole. Rossano also did a good job on his defensive reps and was one of the few true interior defensive tackles in the group. Look for him to be one of the leaders on the line for this 14U All-Star team.
