Expert Analysis

- Future High School: Red Bank Catholic
Brennan was neck and neck with Pelzer for the MVP of the Linebacker group throughout the afternoon. Standing out in a Linebacker group that was deep with numbers, and in skill, Brennan took care of business as we expected to him to.

resembles that of a young man more than a child. Brennan is a prospect who I believe I saw at a previous camp, but I cannot exactly recall. Either way, the Red Bank Catholic-bound prospect stands nearly at 6 feet tall, has broad shoulders, and a frame many coaches can work with. Expect to see him as a top performer for linebackers.

Read EvaluationJonathan Davalos | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the top linebackers from the December Combine, Shay stood out by overshadowing the competition with his impressive size, measuring in at 5’11” and 194lbs, and likely adding even more muscle over the last few months. He demonstrated impressive elusiveness and reactivity, excelling in change-of-direction drills and when facing running backs in the open field. His ability to generate power was evident in an impressive broad jump, showcasing his explosiveness. With his athleticism and power, he’s definitely one of the top defenders to keep an eye on at the upcoming combine.

Read EvaluationAlan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
Absolutely fell in love with this kids last December (2023) when I saw him help the Jersey Shore 12U All-Stars win the AYF National All-Star Tournament. One of those kids that looked physically different than the other All-Stars on the field. Great size and strength at 5-foot-11 and 185-pounds. I haven’t seen him play since December, but the three-sport athlete left a lasting impression on me.
