    Bergen Catholic senior quarterback

    DePaul junior quarterback

    Zammit is a three-year starter who piloted the Passaic County school to back-to-back Non-Public B state finals, winning in 2022.

    Nolan James

    DePaul senior running back

    James, a Boston College commit, is North Jersey’s premier dual-threat running back. The 5-foot-10, 205-pounder can power inside and sprint outside, and last season rushed for 1,422 yards and eight TDs, caught 23 passes for 193 yards and a score, and earned All-New Jersey honorable mention.

    Kenny Smith

    Glassboro senior running back

    After running wild for three seasons at Hammonton, the 5-foot-11, 185-pounder has transferred to Group 1 state finalist Glassboro. Smith, a two-time all-state selection and South Jersey Offensive Player of the Year in 2022, has rushed for more than 3,500 yards and 40 touchdowns his career.

    Julian Turney

    St. Augustine senior running back

    Blessed with speed, size and strength, Turney ran over the competition to become the eighth 1,000-yard rusher in Hermits history last fall. The 6-foot, 220-pounder found the end zone in each of his final seven games last fall (15 total for the stretch) and finished with 19 TDs for the season.

    Lotzeir Brooks

    Millville senior wide receiver

    One of the country's most electrifying players, the 5-foot-9, 180-pound senior is a three-time All-South Jersey and All-New Jersey selection. The Alabama-bound Brooks owns the South Jersey records for career receiving yards (3,355) and career touchdowns (55), and tied the single-season touchdown receiving record (22).

    Sah'nye Degraffenreidt

    Atlantic City senior wide receiver

    Known as "Ice Cup," the 6-foot, 185-pounder has put the chill on opposing defensive backs with his speed and skill. A highlight-reel pass catcher, the Rutgers-bound senior posted school records with 1,009 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns last fall.

    Cam Miller

    Winslow senior wide receiver

    A game changer on both sides of the ball, the 5-foot-11, 180-pounder has established himself as one of the premier pass catchers in the Garden State. The Wisconsin-bound senior hauled in 57 passes for 1,334 yards and 15 touchdowns. His 28 career touchdown catches rank eighth in South Jersey history.

    Quincy Porter

    Bergen Catholic senior wide receiver

    Porter is as good at his position as any skill player in New Jersey and he’s committed to Ohio State. The 6-foot-4, 198-pounder has the size to out-jump defenders and the speed to outrun them, and he earned first-team All-New Jersey last season after catching 53 passes for 1,107 yards and 19 TDs.

    Malachi Goodman

    Paramus Catholic senior offensive lineman

    Goodman spearheads the Bergen County program’s quest to compete with the state’s non-public powers. At 6-foot-5, 310 pounds, he earned first-team All-New Jersey last season for the Paladins (3-8). His offers include USC, Penn State and Auburn, and 247Sports ranks him as the state’s top senior offensive lineman.

    Dylan Grau

    Cherokee senior offensive lineman

    The 6-foot-5, 330-pounder was a big reason Cherokee posted more than 3,300 yards of total offense, including close to 2,500 on the ground, last year on its way to a sectional title.

    Jack Harris

    Bergen Catholic junior offensive lineman

    Harris is among New Jersey’s biggest high-profile transfers. He has surprising speed for a 6-foot-3, 295-pounder, and the two-way lineman last season helped Rumson-Fair Haven (8-5) reach a second consecutive Group 2 state final and earned All-New Jersey honorable mention.

    Toms River North senior offensive lineman

    The 6-foot-5, 305-pounder is a two-time All-New Jersey first-team selection. He has helped lead Toms River North to consecutive Group 5 state championships, and made a non-binding oral commitment to Rutgers in June after sifting through more than 30 scholarship offers.

    Kai Pritchard

    Donovan Catholic junior offensive lineman

    The 6-foot-5, 275-pounder has risen up the recruiting charts. He is ranked as the No. 2 New Jersey recruit by 247Sports in the Class of 2026. Pritchard currently has 14 scholarship offers.

    Ethan Schock

    Mainland senior offensive lineman

    The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder was in the center of the action during the Mustangs' undefeated run to the state championship last fall. He helped create space for Mainland's running game, which produced more than 3,700 yards.

    Phillip Folmar

    Delbarton senior athlete

    Folmar was a dynamic part of the Green Wave offense that reached the Non-Public A state final last year. He rushed for 349 yards and eight touchdowns, and caught 47 passes for 579 yards and four more scores. A Morristown native, Folmar is committed to the University of Buffalo.

    Guytano Bartolomeo

    Bergen Catholic senior kicker

    Bartolomeo is incredibly consistent and enters his third season as the starter. Last season, the 5-10, 170-pounder made all 44 of his extra-point attempts, converted all six field-goal attempts with a long of 37 yards, and had 27 touchbacks. For his career, he is 92 for 93 on extra points and 8 for 9 on field goals.
