Today’s Spotlight: Jalen Morris

Rivers RB Jalen Morris is an explosive playmaker with elite quickness and exceptional change-of-direction ability. He makes defenders miss in the open field and consistently breaks tackles with ease.

Marist got a gem.

[Griffin Donato @GriffinDonato]

Today’s Spotlight: WR Alex McCormack

Alex is a polished route runner with sharp breaks and suddenness. Legitimate deep threat who stresses vertical coverage. Creates consistent separation and presents a serious matchup problem in man coverage. Ascending prospect to watch.

Dexter takes the win in a close battle with a game-winning TD from QB @FunkeRory, moving to 7-1 on the season while Choate falls to 6-2. Defensively, @daniel_hanafin3 led the way with a dominant performance, including two interceptions! @DXSF_FB

[Griffin Donato @GriffinDonato]

Brunswick improves to 8-0 after a hard-fought battle against Deerfield! BC commit @ben_rolapp led the way, finding the end zone multiple times on the ground.

@DayvianSullivan @coach_celiscar @Coach_Osumah @coachharasymiak @UMassCaleb @NateTorres2022 @UMassFootball @NE6FB_Recruits @AlexAgrellaRB @StJohnsPrepFB Congratulations!

[Griffin Donato @GriffinDonato]

UMass lands a gem! Dayvian has excellent coverage ability and the speed to keep up with opposing receivers. He tracks the ball well, makes plays, and isn’t afraid to come downhill and make a tackle. A well-rounded defensive playmaker with the speed, instincts, and physicality.

[Dayvian Sullivan @DayvianSullivan]

1000% commmited! Thank you for everyone who has believed in me and supported me along the way. LETS WORK‼️ @coach_celiscar @Coach_Osumah @coachharasymiak @UMassCaleb @NateTorres2022 @UMassFootball @NE6FB_Recruits @AlexAgrellaRB @StJohnsPrepFB

[Griffin Donato @GriffinDonato]

@tmcgrath66 @xzavier_chafin @Coach_Willey_FB @newftbj Totally agree. Xzavier being out there as a lead blocker opens up so many gaps for an explosive running back like Owen. Owen is also a dominant player on both sides of the ball. Definitely will be doing some coverage on Owen coming up soon! BB&N is in good hands with these two.

[Griffin Donato @GriffinDonato]

Today’s Spotlight: Xzavier Chafin

Xzavier is a true talent and elite off the edge. He has the perfect combination of speed and strength. He’s humble & lets his performance speak for itself. He’s only a junior and has been dominant all year. Virtually unstoppable in 1on1 matchups

[Griffin Donato @GriffinDonato]

Prep schools, how are we feeling? That first regular-season game is right around the corner!!!

[Daniel Onyemakonor @d_onyemakonor]

Another milestone achieved for @TASeawolfFB, Dominic Maser. The 6'7", 280 lb OL/LS in the class of 2027. He’s tall, lengthy, and has good strength, who has received 7 D1 offers, continues to accomplish significant feats and is poised for a big season this year!

@CoachJeffMoore

[3⭐️ OL Dominic Maser @DominicMaser76]

Blessed to be ranked a 3 ⭐️ recruit by 247! More work to do!

@TASeawolfFB @CoachJeffMoore

[Griffin Donato @GriffinDonato]

Colgate has secured a commitment from @DABigGreenFB Chuck Haight, a 6'5", lengthy, and very athletic wide receiver in the class of 2026. The rising senior chose Colgate over Cornell and is expected to have a big season at Deerfield.

Congratulations, Chuck.

[Chuck Haight @chuckhaight1]

I’m very grateful to announce that I will be continuing my athletic and academic career at Colgate University!

A sincere thank you to all of the coaches, teammates, and especially my family who helped me throughout this journey. #gogate @brucewill15 @DABigGreenFB @bbarbato53 @HaightAlex @haight_owen @TajamirTorres @CoachGerbino @_CoachFitz @ColgateFB

@Isaiah_Rogers08

[Griffin Donato @GriffinDonato]

Best RB in MA?

@CentralFB413 Isaiah Rogers, The 4 star running back in the Class of 2027, recently received another big offer from Wisconsin. Standing at 5'11", Isaiah is a speedy and agile RB, who bounces off defenders. Also dangerous when receiving passes out of the backfield.
