I am including Ryan Murphy in this article even though he is technically coming from St. Thomas More in Connecticut. Before his Post-Grad year, Murphy was a dominant OT for St. Anthony’s and helped lead them to a Catholic league state championship as a Senior. While I had a FCS grade on Murphy coming out of High School Murphy decided to do a Post-Grad year to help his recruiting and it paid off as he showed the dominant strength and power for St. Thomas More against a plethora of tough opponents. The St. Anthony’s Tackle finds his home back in New York and will be a versatile OL piece for the Raiders.

Ryan Murphy makes a big move to St. Thomas More and a reclass to 2024. Murphy was a top prospect in New York in the 2023 class and at 6’6 300lbs has elite measurables for the next level. The NY -> St. Thomas More pipeline has been strong this summer and Murphy looks to build off a strong career at St. Anthony’s with a top program in New England.

Ryan Murphy Ryan Murphy 6'6" | 290 lbs | OL St. Thomas More | 2024 State New E was a really big part of St. Anthony’s success this season. Murphy is really solid as a pass protector whose length gives him a strong advantage. Murphy’s 6-6 frame give him the type of length that is sought after at the next level. A little thin and lanky Murphy does lack elite strength but this was a huge area for improvement this year. Murphy did a great job moving defenders as a run blocker and even having some finishing blocks in pass protection. Murphy also was a solid long snapper for St. Anthony’s who had one of the most dominant special teams units in the NYCHSFL. Great season for Murphy who picked up some offers from Merrimack, Monmouth, and Stony Brook (PWO).
