Zakai Murphy Zakai Murphy 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR Don Bosco Prep | 2027 State NJ stepped up in a big way for Don Bosco. While Isaiah Alvarez Isaiah Alvarez 6'0" | 150 lbs | WR Don Bosco Prep | 2027 State NJ usually provides the explosive plays, Murphy became the go-to target in this championship matchup. He burned St. Joe’s blitz with a 40-yard touchdown, then kept drives alive by consistently winning underneath.

Murphy showed physicality after the catch, breaking tackles and using strong contact balance to pick up extra yards. He finished with 5 receptions, 72 yards, and a touchdown, proving he can separate downfield and bully defenders after the catch.
