Coaches Comments: “Pacen had an unfortunate injury to start off the season, which slowed him down. But he kept battling and working his way back from that injury and started the back half of the season. What makes Pacen a special player is his smarts and versatility. On offense last year he played both guard spots plus center, on defense he can play all 3 spots up front as well. With his smarts, increased size, and strength we will be shifting Pacen over to tackle this season. He has gotten much bigger and stronger, as you can see with his now 6’4, 275-pound frame. He is expected to be one of the leaders up front. He just recieved his first offer from Davidson and is getting lots of interest from Ivy/Patriot league teams.”

Coaches Comments: Jeremiah had an OUTSTANDING sophomore campaign. He was our best wide receiver, cornerback, and kick returner. Jeremiah was always the guy that would create a big play in all three phases of the game. Often times he would Score a TD, hold for the extra point, run down and make the tackle on Kick-Off, and then play defense. He NEVER came off the field. Additionally, he is the epitome of being a STUDENT-ATHLETE.

Coaches Comments: “Danny is very dedicated to our program and he has worked hard to become better at his position each year. He is benefitting from playing in our offensive system since he was in 7th grade through the middle school program. He is an outstanding student in the classroom but he also picks things up extremely well on the football field. His brother Andrew (now at Muhlenberg College) was an outstanding player & leader for us and Danny is looking to follow in those footsteps. Danny did a great job stepping in for Sr., Collin Quintano when he was out with injury last season, and he won both games as a starter. He has room to grow within our offense and I feel that his work ethic and ability will carry him as he prepares for the 2022 season.”

Coach’s Comments:  “Riley played the perimeter extremely well while on defense in 2021 performing at a hybrid DE/OLB position for the Falcons.   Riley is also an integral part of Pottsgrove’s success on offense, lining up as both an attached TE and detached TE! Riley excels at blocking in the run game and is an extremely skilled receiver. Riley looks to build on his success in his junior season in 2022.”
