– Played for Cedar Grove
– Also plays baseball
– Film
Russo is going to be an extremely good high school football player and beyond. Can play inside backer out in the boundary right now, with Mike being the spot I see him spending the most time at going forward. Absolutely love his fundamentals. Plays on his toes, doesn’t over react to pre-snap movement or play action. Stays low during his read steps and attacks quickly. Russo also has no problem going out into the flat and making tackles in space. I’m a big fan of his ability.

As a Northern New Jersey guy, who played against Cedar Grove High School back in the day, I loved coming across the film of Vincent Russo. Russo played middle linebacker and running back for the Cedar Grove Panthers this season, the same program that produced 2017 NFL first round pick, David Njoku. When it comes to Russo, he’s a 5-foot-9 and 145-pound kid who simply folds kids up when he tackles them. While I’m not too Jersey Proud to realize he’s not playing against the toughest competition in the world, the kid can play. In comparison to some of the big boys in the state, many of which are coming to the Northeast PRZ Next Middle School Camp in January, there appears to be some room for improvement on lateral quickness and overall athleticism. With that said, I think he has the potential to be playing on Saturday afternoons in the future, if he continues to grow and continues to play like he does. Russo, a lefty, is also a talented baseball player.
