    Comments: “Thomas was a major part in helping the team win the state title last season. He was one of three backs to go over 1,000 yards on the season. He was the front-runner with nearly 1,600 yards and averaged over 11 yards per carry. He was also a major contributor catching passes out of the backfield. Hunter rarely goes down on first contact and has the ability to make defenders miss him. He’s also not afraid to run up the middle because he certainly doesn’t shy away from contact. He will be counted on as the offensive leader again this season.”

He has an opportunity to be an OL/DL at the next level if he continues to push himself and work hard.

    Coaches Comments: Phil is the only returning starter in the secondary from last years District 1 Championship team. We will ask a lot of Phil this summer/fall as he will likely move from FS to CB. Phil is technically sound in his DB skills and is capable of shutting down the opponents best receiver in man schemes. Phil also will have the ability to showcase more of his offensive skills this fall which I am excited to see play out.

    In terms of Alden’s skill at the linebacker position he is second to none. He works tirelessly on his read keys, spends inordinate time in the film room, and works diligently in practice. This resulted in becoming our most improved player last season.

    Alden’s strength and speed are worthy of collegiate consideration as he has worked incredibly hard in the weight room to join our 1000 lb club of combined weight with Bench, Squat, and Hang Clean. He has also shown great speed at numerous camps and clinics as well as on the field in pursuit.

This has made our team better because the younger players look up to him and see what it takes to be successful in the rugged Suburban One national conference. George and I both expect big things from a big time player this coming year.

    Comments: Luke Emge is just an all around athlete. Good things happen when the ball is in his hands. He’s maturing into a great signal caller and recognizing and understanding defenses better. On defense he is a ball hawking safety who doesn’t shy away from contact. Wether it be filling the alley on run support or playing deep center field he control our defense. We expect big things from Luke this year and look for him to lead us into Berks Section 1. Previously on Berks Section 2

    Receiving: 12 catches 158 yards 5 TDs

    Honors: 2015 Philadelphia All-Public

    Twitter: @basill_____

    Coaches comments: Due to the small roster of Strawberry Mansion, Basil has had many different roles for the Knights. He scored the school first ever varsity touchdown in 2015 as a wide receiver. Later in the season he switched to running back and led the team in rushing.

    In 2016 he started as running back, but was forced to switch to quarterback after starting quarterback left the team. In his third start as quarterback he led the knights to their first win of the season as he carried the ball 16 times for 198 yards and four touchdowns. He is a physical player on defense and is always around the ball. While he is undersized as a linebacker he regularly leads the team in tackles.

    He plays special teams as the kicker and occasional return man. He is one of the most committed members of the team and works hard everyday. Entering the 2017 season he is slated to remain the quarterback leading the team as both a passer and runner.

    He has the ability to take over games and is very versatile for his size. At times this previous year we would move him to fullback in certain packages. He is a very driven coachable student and player who has worked very hard over the past two off-seasons to improve his game at multiple camps and individual workouts on the field and in the weight-room.

    We are very excited as a staff to see him progress this upcoming season and future seasons.

He is a hard worker who has moved himself into another level as a punting prospect.

    Twitter: @bobby_Rb32

    Coaches comments: Bobby Shelly is not only an outstanding football player, but also an outstanding young man. A leader by example, Bobby works extremely hard both in the classroom and on the gridiron. During his senior season at Northern, we expect Bobby to be a key contributor in all phases of the game.

    Offensively, we will rely on Bobby to line up at both tailback and fullback, and to shoulder much of the load in our downhill rushing attack.

    Defensively, we will rely on Bobby to set the edge against the run and be solid in multiple pass coverage schemes from his outside linebacker position. Furthermore, we will rely on Bobby to wear many different hats on special teams, and to use his size, strength, and athleticism to make big plays.

    Currently being recruited by multiple NCAA FCS-level programs, we have every confidence that Bobby will continue his academic and football careers at the next level, and will do so with as much commitment, dedication, and success as he has during his career at Northern.

    Coaches comments: Ben is a competitor and feels that he has a chance to make a play on every snap. He has a very detailed skill set for a High School QB and Live arm. His work ethic has put him in a position to be one of the top QB’s in the mid-state.

    He reminds of throw back with the footwork of Fran Tarkenington and the mind set of Bret Farve. His teammates have confidence in him and know that anytime he touches the ball he has a chance to make a play. Some of the younger readers may have to google those to NFL Great.

    But bigger than that, Ben is a great kid of Character that was proven this spring when he committed to a promise that he made in 4th grade to take a special friend to her prom.

    I see him everyday and sometimes in practice he does something and you say, did he really do that?? Did that really just happen and sometimes its like watching a video game, it’s like how did he do that?

    Twitter: @LJ_Wesneski

    Coaches comments: LJ is an elite WR in a TE’s body. He presents a number of mismatch problems for opposing defenses because of his size, his ability to go up and get the ball, and his ability to catch the ball in traffic. He can stretch a defense vertically, make tough catches in the middle of the field, and is athletic enough to make quick receptions and turn them into long runs. In our offense he spends most of his time flexed out as a WR, but at the next level he will be a true TE/H Back. He has multiple FCS offers and how he performs at camps this summer will determine if he gets any FBS offers.

Last season Crae shined as a Linebacker for us as he recorded 127 tackles with 17 for a loss. Crae was a dominant player on both sides of the ball at times last season.

    With his tremendous gains in strength and size this past season, I am expecting Crae to outshine his performance last season by leaps and bounds. He should become a dominant force for us in multiple positions. Crae is a big time prospect who combines toughness, hard work, and physical gifts in his play.

    His footwork can definitely improve, but for his size and age it’s very good.  He plays with a nasty attitude, which is also unique for a 15 year old, kid.  Chris has the size, strength, and attitude to physically dominate anyone across from him.  I think in 2 years he will be one of the top recruits in the country.

    As a defensive back he has the uncanny knack of getting to the football and creating turnovers. Last season he led the state with 13 interceptions.

    His biggest improvement on defense during his junior year was his ability to come up and make tackles.

    He will most likely take his talents to the next level once his high school career is over.

    Collin has all the physical skills needed to succeed at quarterback: size, arm strength, accuracy, throwing and running ability, poise, leadership, and more.  His competitive nature, intelligence, and processing speeds are off the charts!  He holds nearly every record there is at Lampeter-Strasburg after his Junior season. 

    Collin is a great football player, but an even better person that the entire community can and has rallied around.  He is a great role model for the young players to follow.

    It’s been an honor to watch Collin mature into the man he is today!

    Coaches comments: Mike is an exceptional football player. He is the toughest player on our team and the heart of our defense. Mike has been a defensive starter for every game through his freshman, sophomore and junior seasons. He is the epitome of a player that has a nose for the ball. Mike is a pleasure to coach and if he stays healthy, he should have an exciting senior season.

    Coaches comments: Dox is a long, athletic player with a great frame. He is extremely fluid for his size, which really sets him apart at this level. He has a competitive drive in everything that he does on the field. He is a difficult match up on offense because of his length and athleticism.

    On defense, he sees the field well, can cover a lot of ground, and can match up one on one with larger offensive players because of his physicality.

    As a punter he is a weapon because of his DI leg and the threat to take off with the ball at any time.

    He has developed into a tremendous offensive and defensive lineman over the past years. Justin was always gifted with outstanding size and quickness, but his dedication to his craft this past offseason has really put him into a separate category.

    Coaches comments: Ryan is poised to follow-up his record setting junior season and anxious for the 2015 season to begin. Ryan showed the poise of a senior in his first full season as a starting QB in 2014.

    Ryan’s ability to read defenses and put us into the right play were instrumental in the success of our 2014 playoff run. Ryan’s decision making along with his big time arm and accuracy will be called upon again this season to lead the offensive attack.

    Ryan has spent many hours in the weight room this off-season and hours throwing getting ready for the 2015 season. With a strong returning cast  at Upper Dublin, the 2015 version of the Flying Cardinals will look to follow and exceed the success experienced by the 2014 Cardinals.

    Coach Commentary: Maurice had a breakout year in 2014. He was competing to play at the ILB position in his sophomore year and a minor injury set him back a bit. During the offseason, Maurice asked to move to OLB and he felt immediately at home in his new position.

    Maurice loves to practice, train, watch film, and anything else that will benefit the team. He is constantly referring to plays he’s seen on Hudl and has become a real student of the game.

    In the community and in the classroom, Maurice a role model for his teammates and an example of the type of person we want in our program. I’m really looking forward to what 2015 has to offer and beyond.

    He currently has offers from Bryant, Central Connecticut, Coastal Carolina, Lafayette, Fordham & Richmond.

    He has tremendous conditioning (wrestler) and he is a player that rarely comes off of the field for us. He has had a great off season so far and we are expecting big things from Cameron this year.

    He is currently being recruited by several Patriot League schools as a defensive tackle. Cameron is also an excellent wrestler that gives him an advantage when playing football.

    He understands hips, leverage, and lateral movement. Cameron, was also a team captain as a Junior. We feel his leadership is also one of his greatest strengths.

    Coaches comments: Matt Palubinksy will be a 4 year starter for us. He has played multiple offensive positions throughout his career, and will be returning at OLB on defense. Matt was a captain in his jr year, and is a leader on and off the field. Matt is a member of our 1250lb club and deadlifts 500lbs. Matt returns punts and kick offs and plays on every special team. We line Matt up every way possible to get him the football. He runs, blocks and catches the ball well. On Defensse, he  is a guy who can rush the passer, plays the run well, and can cover people. He is the first one to practice and the last one to leave, he is a coaches dream. Hopefully, Matt will draw interest from colleges as he is a terrific student athlete.

    Comments: Kevin is an outstanding leader of our football team. He was named a co-captain as a junior because of his intense work ethic that he displays on and off of the football field as well as his loyalty to his teammates. Kevin produces the intangibles necessary to be an outstanding linebacker. He displays a great knowledge for the game that allows him to be the leader of our defense. Offensively he has been a punishing blocker at the poit of attack for our running game. When given the opportunity to carry the ball Kevin is a very physical runner that always gains positive yards and gets big first downs or touchdowns in the red zone for our team. I look forward to Kevin’s on the field leadership during his senior campaign. In final, Kevin is an outstanding player on the field but he is even a better person off of it. He is a great role model within our school community for the younger student-athletes to emulate!

    Honors: 1st Team All-State Class 4A at DB

     

    Coaches Q&A with Gabe Infante:

    Q. What are his strengths on offense?

    A. When he lines up at running back, he’s an explosive and strong runner. He’s a great downhill runner. He’s a physical back.

    He’s a dynamic player and has really worked on his hands a lot over the last couple of years. He has really become an exceptional receiver.

    He has done a great job working on the things that he may not have been great at over the past couple of years. He has worked to eliminate those things.

    He has improved each year to become a great player. The bottom line is we have to find ways to get him the ball.

     

    Q. What are his strengths at corner back?

    A. He’s very good at adjusting to the football and making plays. Not many people can locate the football like he can. He has the combination of speed, strength and agility.

    His technical knowledge and professionalism and the way he goes about learning his skills, puts him in the top one percent.

    He was huge last year in the playoffs against Parkland and Central Catholic.

     

    Q. Final thoughts on John?

    A. We had a kid last year before the season transfer out who was a good receiver. He came to me and said, coach we’re going to miss the vertical threat and I think I can help us there.

    That was his unselfish way of saying I can help you there. That’s what he did and he committed to learning the wide receiver position. He did a great job and I argue he may be one of the best wide receivers in the state.

    You can look at some of the things he does on the offensive side of the ball. He’s pretty dangerous on that side of the ball and that’s a credit to him.

    He’s always trying to find a way to help our team. He will do about anything. It could be blocking a kick. He will return a kick and at times we may move him around on defense.

    He will do what ever it takes.

    When your best football player is your hardest working football player, he sets the culture for your program. He is the type of guy you build your program around.

    He runs with power and probably is the strongest running back I have ever had. He has very quick feet and makes a lot of jump cuts.

    He’s a good blocker and runs routes as good as any receiver in the state and has good hands.

    He’s pretty much the total package. He runs well outside.

    A. He’s our best player and the hardest worker on the team. He’s a quiet kid. He has a great work ethic and leads by example.

    Coaches Q&A with Gabe Infante:

    Q. What are his strengths on Offense?

    A. His sophomore year he started at right tackle and last year he was the only returning lineman. We had to ask him to anchor the line. We graduated four of the five kids. We wanted him to be the leader and he did a great job last year with the other four guys.

    The credit on how the line played all season goes to Jon. He stepped up and got the job done.

    He’s technically one of the best I have ever seen at this age. He’s very athletic and probably can play tight end for us. He’s one of the strongest kids on the team and has great feet.

     

    Q. What are his strengths on defense?

    A. He has great instincts and is very strong. He’s tough to block and makes plays.

    You can see what he did in the championship game. We asked him to play another position in that game and he did a tremendous job.

    He has such a long stride that people think they have an angle on him and they don’t. He’s deceptively fast and he’s a very strong kid.

    He has no problem lowering his shoulder and driving his leg forward. He’s the whole package.

    He can run fast and can catch the ball. This year he will play some receiver and look for some mismatches.

    Starting experience: He started last year on defense and played tight end.

     

    Coaches Q&A with Matt Ortega:

    Q. What are his strengths at tight end?

    A. His strength is his athleticism. He’s quick. He can run and jump. Another asset is he’s a great blocker. He has good hands.

    This year he’s going to be a big part of the passing game. With his size he’s a big target, especially near the goal line.

     

    Q. What are his strengths on defense?

    A. He will be a starter on the line unless we move a couple guys around and we may put him at outside linebacker? That’s one of the questions we have about our defense this year.

    When he plays defensive end, pass rushing is his strength. He’s a good run stopper too. He’s very strong player.

    We have no doubt that he can play outside linebacker. For us as a team that may be the best thing for us if he can play outside linebacker and Jay can play safety.

    We’re excited to see what he can do this year after being in our system for a full year now.

    2013 Stats: On defense he had 70 total tackles and 10 sacks.

    Honors: 1st team All-Ches Mont League American Conference at DL

     

    Coaches Q&A with Dan Ellis:

    Q. What are his strengths on offense?

    A. He’s our tight end and at times we will move him to wide receiver. He’s a big kid, but he’s athletic enough that we can move him around on both sides of the ball.

    Last year, we were a triple option offense and he wasn’t really used that much offensively. We’re going to use him as a weapon and look for match-ups and spots on the field and really try to take advantage of his skill set.

    We may hand the ball at times and get him some carries. He’s a very good blocker and can catch the ball. He’s going to be a matchup nightmare for defenses this fall.

     

    Q. What are his strengths on defense?

    A. His main position is defensive end, but we will move him down to tackle. His best asset is the combination of things he does that make him so talented. He has the size, speed and athleticism.

    He’s strong enough to take on double teams and he commands double teams. He’s very good at chasing down players at the backside of a play.

    He’s a great pass rusher.

    He had 10 sacks last year on a defense that wasn’t overly aggressive. This year we’re going to play a much more aggressive style of defense.

    So, he’s really going to cause a lot of problems for teams. We’re going to move him around and do a lot of different things with him. I expect he’s going to have an outstanding year.

     

    Q. Final thoughts on Ryan?

    A. I am new here and in a short period of time I am very impressed with his leadership. He’s a great example to the young kids.

    He’s a very humble kid and is a great young man.

    His other asset is his natural ability to go to the ball. Last year he had four picks and all four picks led to touchdowns.

    He has amazing speed and has good technique tackling.

    He has great technique in all our zone coverage’s and that’s where he will play most of the time. But if our opponent has a great receiver, we want to make sure that will rotate him to that position so he can cover their best receiver.

     

     

    Q. What are his strengths at wide receiver?

    A. He has good speed and it’s not just the straightforward speed. It’s the speed after the catch. When he catches the ball watch out, he has great moves.

    He has great hands and runs crisp routes and he cuts on a dime.

    He’s usually our inside slot receiver. But at times depending on the situation we may put him out there as an outside receiver.

    He’s the total package at receiver. He has good footwork, breaking ability, is a good blocker and the hands that go with it.

    This year we’re going to get him the ball a lot of different ways.

     

     

    Q. How’s he as a kick and punt returner?

    A. He’s going to do both again this year. When you get the ball to your best players hands, he can do incredible things with it.

    He has a tremendous ability to read blocks and knows when to cut off those blocks and has the ability to make big plays.

     

     

    Q. Final thoughts on Nyiem?

    A. He has great character and leadership qualities. He’s a kid that not only is working hard on football, but also working hard to get better in the classroom.

    I would take my shirt off my back for the kid and I know he would too. If I am in a street fight in a back alley, I know I want him behind me.

    We’re not a team that he’s chasing numbers or records. It’s about taking care of the football and making the right throws and he has done that. He did a good job for us last year making the correct reads and running the team the way its supposed to be run.

    A. His biggest asset is his speed off the ball. He had 28 sacks for us last year. He just does things you can’t coach.

    His first two or three steps off the ball are faster than any body they have seen last year, said some college coaches.

    Coaches Q&A with Chris Eiswerth:

    Q. What are his strengths on defense?

    A. On defense he’s so technical. He comes off his blocks fast and uses his hands very well. He’s a tremendous pass rusher. He has the ability to run guys down and make plays. He really showed it last year against some really good quarterbacks we played against.

    When you have a guy with his size and length, he knocked down a good many passes last year and teams last year either double-teamed him or just run away from him.

    He has that ability to shut down a side. He has power and finesse.

    Each year he has gotten bigger and stronger. He’s one of two players that have started since his freshman year for me.

     

    Q. What are his strengths at tight end?

    A. He has great hands and is very athletic. He may be a tight end but he’s our best blocking lineman we have out there. Last year we threw screens to him and he did a good job for us.

    We like to run to his side because he’s such a good blocker.

    His is very versatile and we move him around on the line.

     

    Q. Final thoughts on Tyler?

    A. He’s a tremendous young man. He works hard not only in football but also in the classroom. He’s an excellent student. He has the total package. I am very proud of him.

    Honors: 2nd Team SOL National Conference All-League at DL

     

    Coaches Q&A with Adam Collachi:

    Q. What are his strengths as a defensive end?

    A. He’s very explosive. His initial burst off the line is very very good. He’s a good athlete for his size and is able to do things that other kids can’t do.

    He really gets after the pass rush and causes a lot of havoc in the backfield at times. He draws a lot of penalties which is as good as or better than a sac. So, I will say his quickness is one of his best assets.

    In key spots, he’s a guy that makes big impact plays for us.

     

    Q, Do teams try and double-team him a lot?

    A. Yes, they do double-team him a lot and teams started running away from him a lot last year. So, we’re going to do something with him this year so teams won’t have that luxury to run away from him this year. He will be all over the place for us.

     

    Q. This year on offense he will be playing the H-Back position. What are your thoughts?

    A. He has really great hands. He’s a great athlete for a kid his size and has wide receiver type catching ability. He has soft hands.

    We’re going to get him out in open space this year and throw to him a little bit and get his big body moving and make plays. He will be a tough kid to tackle.

    When we’re not throwing to him, he’s like another lineman out there and is a good blocker.

     

    Q. What’s he doing in the offseason?

    A. He has lived in the weight room and his numbers and his strength have shot up. He has added 20-pounds of solid muscle this offseason.

    He has been working since the day after we lost our playoff game to Garnet Valley.

    He’s the first guy to be there and last to leave and has worked really hard and it shows.

     

    Q. Final thoughts on Connor?

    A. He’s a quiet kid. He leads by example and shows it in his workouts. He’s a guy that does the extra things.

    It has been great seeing him mature the last three years. That’s one of the true rewards of coaching, seeing a young kid mature into an exceptional young man and that’s what it is all about.

    I am very proud of him.

    We like to put him in the slot and he’s a very good route runner. He’s a nightmare for a safety to cover and is great in open space. He makes plays.

    He’s very explosive and has great body control. His ability to separate from people underneath is exceptional. He can get away from you quickly.

     

    Q. What are his strengths on defense?

    A. We play him in certain situations because of his athleticism. When he’s out there it is to lock up a receiver and is a physical corner.

     

    Q. How’s he as a kick returner?

    A. He’s a threat to score every time he gets the ball. He had that big return his sophomore year against LaSalle in the championship game.

    We have three great players back there that most teams really don’t kick to us and most poach the ball.

    Starting experience: He played his freshman year at Catasauqua before moving to Allentown. He has started since his sophomore year at running back and mid-way through the season I started him both ways. Last year he started on both sides of the ball.

    2013 Stats: Lester rushed for 1,194 yards and 15 touchdowns. He caught 25 passes for 437 yards and five touchdowns. He was also one-for-one passing and a touchdown.

    He was fourth on our team in tackles last year. He had 48 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and one sack.

    2013 Highlights: Against William Allen he rushed for 232 yards.

    Honors: 1 st Team Morning Call All-Area at RB

     

    Coaches Q&A with Kyle Beller:

    Q. What are his strengths at running back?

    A. He has great vision and is very fast and shifty. He doesn’t take hard hits. He has very good lower body control and when he sees the hole he hits it and goes, he has great burst.

    I’ll give you example of one of my favorite runs from last year. It was the second game against Pleasant Valley and he goes to the right and right around the hash mark he gets kind of boxed in. He almost stops and looks the kid dead in the eye, makes a move to his right and went for a touchdown. It was completely stop on a dime, make a move and accelerate. It was an absolutely amazing run and that is the stuff this young man can do.

    We like to move him around and he will be lined up at the running back position, slot receiver, outside receiver and at quarterback.

    We like to throw to him and he has good hands.

     

    Q. What are his strengths on defense?

    A. His speed helps him out and he has natural instincts. He always seems to be around where the ball is. The thing is, he covers so much ground for us at weak safety, and it allows us to do so much on defense that I know he’s there to make things happen.

    He makes plays back there and is a great tackler.

     

    Q. How’s he as a returner?

    A. No one kicks to him. We look at kickoffs as another offensive play and having him back there we know they have to kick away. We usually end up with good field position.

    Q. What are his strengths at running back?

    A. He runs with a lot of desire and has very good balance. He’s a physical kid for his size. He runs hard and is good at breaking a lot of tackles.

    I attribute his skills in football to his experience in wrestling. It’s so much about body control. Sometimes he makes runs and does things and we just stand there and shake our heads, because of some of the things he’s capable of doing. He’s a very determined runner and a very good blocker.

    We try and play most of our kids one way even though we’re a small school we have been able to do that. I think he may be the first kid that I have said we have to have him on the field on both sides of the ball. He has such a motor and he can go hard on both sides of the ball. He will be out there on both sides of the ball this year.

    He has great hands and is an excellent receiver.

    Coaches Q&A with Frank Gay:

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. He has great leadership skills. He leads by example.

     

    Q. What are his strengths at quarterback?

    A. He’s the smartest quarterback in my 26 years of high school football that I ever coached. The best way to explain it is, when you can give the keys to the car to a freshman the first day and say run with it and the offense is yours. He got it.

    He can make any audible he wanted to, from day one.

    He’s your typical drop back pro style quarterback. He’s an exceptional runner, but we couldn’t afford to run him his first two years of varsity. We didn’t have a backup for him. So, he was the guy and we couldn’t afford to run him the way we wanted to.

    But now we have a backup that is going to be a freshman who is very good. This year we’re going to open up the offense and let him carry the ball more.

    He’s very accurate throwing the ball either in the pocket or when he’s on the run.

    He’s very good at throwing the short passes and his best asset is throwing a deep ball.

     

    Q. When he does play defense, what are his strengths?

    A. He started last year on defense. But this year we have more depth and will play in spots. When it comes down to it, he’s our best man-to-man cover guy. So, if we need him on the field, he’s going to be on the field.

    He has good coverage skills and a good tackler.

     

    Q. What’s he doing in the offseason?

    A. He has been working out with Jim Cantafio and goes their every week. He works on his strength and speed agility.

     

    Q. Final thoughts on Michael?

    A. The coolest thing about him is, he’s a gifted athlete and one of the most humble kids you have ever met in your life. He works with younger kids and is a good role model in our community. He treats everybody the same. He’s a first class kid.

    When he was a sophomore he was more of a pass rusher and last year he developed into a very good run stopper. He’s really well rounded and has discipline.

     

     

    Q. He’s going to play offensive guard this year. What are your thoughts?

    A. Our guards have to be athletic, because we pull a lot. They not only have to be physical, but they have to have good feet and move. He’s that guy.

    He’s such a good athlete and can move well.

    Coaches Q&A with John Truby:

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. He’s showing me in the offseason that he’s a leader on our team. This year you can see he’s more confident in everything.

    The other kids have noticed a difference in him this offseason. I’ll give you an example. When your quarterback is benching 265 and he let’s everyone know he’s benching 265, it’s a nice little poke at some of the larger guys to say, I have to get at it.

    The other players see he’s putting the work in and is ready to go. So everyone is doing it.

     

     

    Q. What are his strengths at quarterback?

    A. One strengths is his footwork. He has nice foot work inside the pocket and is dangerous when he runs the ball.

    He’s really starting to come in to his own this offseason. This year he has really taken ownership of the offense. He feels more comfortable with what we are trying to do.

    One thing that stands out is that it doesn’t matter if he has pressure in his face or he’s moving around, he can put the ball where it needs to be.

    With our zone read offense I think he’s reading it better. He has a better understanding of when to give or when to keep. With him adding more muscle I think you are going to see him initiate the contact more when he runs the ball.

     

     

    Q. What is he doing in the offseason?

    A. He has been working out hard and putting on good muscle over the summer. He’s working on the little things to get better.

    He’s working on his short game. The long passes have always been there and he’s good at it. He has a great touch and that is something you can’t teach.

    Coaches Q&A with Mike McKay:

    Q. What are his strengths at running back?

    A. His biggest asset is his speed. He’s a pure down hill physical runner. He’s not there to finesse you and has power and will run you over.

    He will look and make that one move and take off. He doesn’t shy away from contact.

     

    Q. Are you going to move him around?

    A. At times we will line him up in the slot or outside receiver. He has good hands and we are working on that in the summer and on his route running.

    He’s a coachable young man. What is special about him is he likes to be in the other positions. He knows it’s an opportunity for him other than running back to do something special.

     

    Q. What are his strengths on defense?

    A. His biggest strength is as a downhill tackler in the run game. Also, if we blitz him off the edge, he’s so fast at getting at the player.

     

    Q. What is he doing in the offseason?

    A. He’s going to a ton of clinics and combines and is working on the little things to get better. He has gotten bigger, stronger and faster this year.

    He’s working at all our 7-on-7s in the coverage schemes. He’s learning different positions. At times we may move him over to corner or free safety.

    He’s competing against other kids at camps and it’s a good way to show colleges what you can do.

    Coaches Q&A with Justin VanFleet:

    Q. What are his strengths as an offensive lineman?

    A. He’s a big, aggressive and very strong young man. He has great technique and works very hard at it. He’s very gifted and smart.

    His best quality at this point is his run blocking. He’s a devastating run blocker who really takes pride in getting the lower pad level and driving forward.

    His pass blocking is excellent and is working every day to get better.

    When he was a freshman he picked up our system really fast. He’s a smart kid and is the one that the other linemen look to make the hard calls on the line in a game.

    Last year he stepped in and played center for us when we needed him too. He will do what ever it takes to help the team. He’s a great kid!

     

    Q. He’s playing defensive tackle this year for you. What are your thoughts?

    A. We’re looking for him to be a strong run stopper. Being able to stop the run is going to win you games on defense, especially in our league. The teams that beat us last year ran the ball and controlled the clock.

    So we are counting on Jake and a couple of other kids to do a good job at stopping the run and the long drives this year.

    I think he will be a good player on defense for us and get the job done.

     

    Q. What is he doing in the offseason?

    Coaches Q&A with Jim Roth:

    Q. What kind of leadership did he show as a young player?

    A. At the quarterback position, it is that tougher and you have to have a certain level of leadership at that position. He handled it really well his first year as a starter.

    His intangibles make him special.

     

    Q. What are his strengths at quarterback?

    A. The way he handled things as a first year starter as a sophomore was impressive. Running the offense is number one and providing leadership is number two. He has a very strong arm.

    I thought he did a good job with all different throws last year. One of the things that was most impressive was how he threw the ball down the field for a young quarterback.

    It’s important to throw the ball deep, especially in our offense. We have always been a strong run oriented offense that plays action. The deep ball is a big part of our offense and for him to do so well as a sophomore was great.

    He has good vision, especially since he is 6-foot-3. The one thing we didn’t do much with him last year was run the ball more. This year we will run him more and also do some sprint out passing with him.

     

    Q. What is he working on in the offseason?

    A. His short passing game. He is working on that part of his game and all of the little things. He wants to be the best at his position.

    He has a big frame and being a young guy he’s starting to grow into his body. I have noticed already a difference in the way he is executing with a lot of throws and his overall accuracy.

    He’s such a proactive young man in helping his teammates. He always wants to help people. He’s a special young man.

    He wants to go to college for Biochemical Engineering.

     

    Q. What is his strength as a defensive lineman?

    A. He’s a student of the game and really knows the defense schemes. He’s a really smart young man and that is his biggest asset.

    We can move him around anywhere on the field and what a huge asset that is. It doesn’t matter where we put him on the field. He knows what everybody does on every call.

    Traditionally we play him at the strong side at defensive end because most teams in high school run the ball off tackle at the strong side. So we like to put our best player there.

     

    Q. How much will he play on offense and what are his strengths at tight end?

    A. He’s on the field playing tight end about half of the game and is a very good blocker.

     

    Q. What is he doing in the offseason?

    A. Jake was a sophomore with Jon Daniel. We used to start practice with one-on-ones and we put them together every day. They have been doing this for three years and I think that’s why they both are great players today. Both guys get after each other like nobody’s business. That is a perfect example of two guys who have made each other better.

    Q. What are his strengths at running back?

    A. He’s a very explosive and physical running back. He has good hips and great speed. He’s a threat to go the distance every snap.

    He can either run you over or run around you and it doesn’t matter if we run him inside or outside, he can make plays. He has good vision and I think playing basketball helps him on the football field.

    We’re going to move him around and try to get that one-on-one matchup with a linebacker. We feel if we have that matchup, good things could happen.

    A. He’s a hit and run guy. What I mean is, he’s able to tackle in space and close down quickly. He’s very physical at the point of tackle and has great speed and vision.

    He has a good understanding on how to cover man-to-man defense and having a basketball background helps him on defense.

    He has worked hard in the offseason on defense and 7-on-7 has helped.

     

     

    Q. He’s doing special teams this year. What do you expect?

    Q. What has he done in the offseason to prepare for his senior season?

    A. He has really worked hard in the weight room. He’s working on getting stronger and faster. This year he’s going to be a more explosive player.

    He may not have great speed, but he is good to get out in play action and stretch the defense.

    He’s a tough kid and is good at getting yardage after the catch. He’s really able to make some nice runs when we can get him the ball. He really showed it last season in some games.

     

     

    Q. How did he do last year on defense and what are his strengths on defense?

    A. I thought he was one of the best defensive linemen in our conference. He was exceptional last year for us.

    He’s a good run stopper and pass rusher. He has fantastic hands and good power. He can shed you and make a move to the quarterback.

    Q. What are his strengths at linebacker?

    A. He’s a very smart player. He has that knowledge of the game. He knows to fill holes, doesn’t over commit and makes good decisions.

    He has instincts and you don’t have to teach him that part of the game. He gets it.

    He’s a good run stopper and is quick. But, his best asset is that he’s able to matchup against slot receivers or tight ends and get physical with them. We ask a lot of him in covering those speedy slot receivers, tight ends and the backs coming out of the backfield.

     

     

    Q. What are his strengths at tight end?

    Honors: 1st team All-Inter-Ac at QB

     

    Coaches Q&A with Rich Knox:

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. Kids on the team want to look up to somebody that is really putting the time in and has a lot of success and kids look up to him.

    He leads by example. Here’s an example of what I mean. One of the things that kids look up to him for is his toughness. So for example, we played Father Judge last year and the first offensive play of the year his entire fingernail on his throwing hand got torn off. They taped it up and it was bleeding through the bandage and he didn’t miss a snap on offense or defense. So I think it’s that kind of toughness that other kids respect.

     

    Q. What are his strengths at quarterback?

    A. He has good size and is strong. He has a strong arm and can make all the throws. He’s a playmaker and can run the ball really well. He can throw the ball with accuracy either in the pocket or on the run. When the play breaks down he’s just as dangerous as when he is in the pocket or on the run.

    During the offseason he has been working hard on everything.

     

    Q. What are his strengths on defense?

    A. He’s a tough kid and very intuitive. He can read plays as they are developing and sometimes it might not be in the scheme of the defense, but he understands what the quarterback is doing. He’s a very good tackler.

    A. Last year we used him at wide receiver and this year he will play tight end. His role is going to be very similar in what we did with Tyler Kroft. We’re going to move him around a lot this year.

    His best attribute is, he works hard. He has a lot of natural God given ability. He’s a very humble kid and likes to compete. He wants to be the best at everything. There are a lot of kids that don’t want to work on things they aren’t good at. He isn’t that kid. It’s hard to be great at lifting when you are 6-foot-7 and your body is so long. He works really hard at it and tries to get bigger and stronger.

    He has good hands and the basketball experience teaches him that. He has great body control and we can throw the ball up and let him make plays.

    He can block and he’s a big physical kid.

     

    Q. How much time will he see on defense this year?

    A. We’re going to use him in certain times as a defensive end. As a pass rusher he’s so big and he has a big wingspan and has a great jumping ability.

    Honors: HM Daily News All-League at DB

     

    Coaches Q&A with Phil Gormley:

    Q. What are his strengths on offense?

    A. He was our top running back last year and this year we’re moving him to quarterback position. He can run the ball and being 6-foot-1, 190-pounds he runs with authority.

    We run Oregon’s inside/outside zone. The key is making the correct decisions in an option offense.

    His biggest strength is, he’s been playing football since he was six years old. He played a lot of different positions. That is why we’re comfortable moving him to quarterback. When he was a young kid, he was a lineman.

    He really has a strong arm and doesn’t have a problem throwing the ball 45 or 50 yards in the air and he’s comfortable throwing the short passes too.

     

    Q. What are his strengths on defensive side?

    A. He’s a very good open field tackler and a tough kid. The last two years he’s had nine interceptions.

     

    Q. Is he playing special teams this year?

    A. He did kickoff and punt returns last year and this year he’s going to punt for us again. I think he’s the best punter in the public league. He punted the ball consistently over 40 yards. He also held for extra points.

    Q. What are his strengths at quarterback?

    A. He’s a tall kid and has good vision and a strong arm. He has been working hard to be a better quarterback and is very coachable and intelligent. He doesn’t make bad decisions.

    He’s a dual threat quarterback who can run or pass. We can get him out on the perimeter and run/pass option. He can make plays with his leg or arm.

    We’re looking forward to seeing him grow the next couple of years. As a sophomore last year, the game was very fast. He needed to learn how to slow it down and see things and once he did that he had the ability to go through progression a lot better.

    Now, in his second year, he’s a returning guy with a lot of confidence and I think the game should slow down for him.

     

    Q. Will he play any defense for you this year?

    A. He does not have a defensive position and probably won’t see anytime there, unless it’s a special situation or we need him too.

    A. He’s physical and relentless. You can put him anywhere, because he can catch the ball. Within 10-yards he is probably the best running back I have ever coached. He never goes down on the first hit and is a physical kid and loves contact. He’s a guy we can give the ball 30 to 35 carries a game.

    He’s not a slasher, he’s a kid that is going to break tackles and if you need two-yards to make a first down, he’s going to get them for you no matter what.

    He’s a good communicator. We ask him to do a lot on offense, but he’s our quarterback in the secondary on defense.

    A. His leadership is off the charts. He is the first junior captain that I have been around. He leads by example and this year he’s taking the next step and being more vocal. He’s really taking the team over and put it on his back in this offseason.

     

    Q. When he does play defense for you this year, what are his strengths?

    A. He is a smart player and takes really good angles. He’s a very good hitter and tackler. He can go up and grab the ball from a player. He can play sideline-to-sideline.

     

    Q. What are his strengths as a quarterback?

    A. He really has a strong arm and can make all the throws. He is more mobile than people give him credit. He rushed for 10 touchdowns last year. He has really good feet and very good lower body strength. He is very balanced with his throws and he is good at finding the open player.

    We run the no huddle offense and he will be making the audible. Every play we do has a read competent. It could be a run or pass option.

     

    Q. Do you use him on special teams?

    A. Yes, he is our punter and kicker. He’s got a strong leg and is a very good punter. No one has ever returned a touchdown on us, because he is such a good tackler.

    Coaches Q&A with George Curry:

    Q. What are his strengths as a defensive player?

    A. He played on pass situations last year, because of his height. He is a good press defensive back. He’s hard to get away from.

    This year he is going to start at safety for us. The other day we went with a 7-on-7 and it was a play down at the goal line. They tried an out pass and Andrew came up and read it and caught it one-handed and went the distance. That is the type of plays this young man can make.

     

    Q. What are his strengths as a receiver?

    A. He’s so athletic. He has the best vertical jump that I have ever seen. He’s a playmaker and has great hands and runs great routes. We can throw to him deep or underneath passes and he’s a threat to take it all the way from anywhere on the field.

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. The younger players look up to him. He leads by example on and off the field. Everyone likes him, his very smart and is a good role model in our community.

     

    Q. How important is he to your offense?

    A. He’s critical to our offense, we run the option and he is our triggerman. Last year people took him away more which created a big year for our running back.

    This year teams will have to contain three or four of our guys. What I mean by that is, you have to try and stop our fullback and stop Jan, and then you have to stop the pitchman. I expect us to be pretty effective this year.

    This year we are excepting him to have a big year for us. He’s very good at looking what a defender does and if they do one thing, he gives it. If a defender does another thing, he keeps it.

     

    Q. What are his strengths as a defensive player?

    A. His best attribute is he has an excellent feel for the game. It’s amazing when the ball is on the ground he is always around. He’s a tough kid, a hard hitter and good tackler.

    He is on the field on defense 70% of the time.

    Coaches Q&A with Chris Walkowiak:

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. He is a team player. I doesn’t matter if he is getting the ball or if he’s blocking. His attitude is, “What ever you need coach.” That’s his attitude.

    He is a hard worker and wants to get better. He spends extra time in practice and in the weight room. He has a great work ethic.

    He showed us his leadership ability early on. As a freshman, he held a team meeting.

    He has only missed one game in his career. He doesn’t like to come off the field, even on special teams. He wants to play every down.

    Last year he was a captain on the team and he’s a great role model for our younger players.

     

    Q. What are his strengths as a linebacker?

    A. The first thing I say about him is, he is explosive. He’s very strong and a tremendous tackler. He plays sideline-to-sideline.

    He is a student of the game. He uses his hands very well at shedding blockers and getting to the ball carry.

    He is the complete package. He’s good at communicating and giving direction.

     

    Q. What are his strengths as a tailback and fullback?

    A. He’s a physical runner. He’s very strong and he will run over you if you are in his way. But he can make a move if he has too.

    He is versatilite player. We can line him up at the fullback position and he can make a great block to free one of our runners or we can line him up at the tailback position and use him there.

    He can get us the short yardage if we need it in a game. If we need two, he get’s us three. He is a competitor.

    Sometimes we put him out as a receiver. We also line him up as a quarterback in the wild cat. He has good hands.

    Coaches Q&A with Gabe Infante:

    Q. Talk about his first year of varsity as a running back?

    A. He can accelerate and change direction and he can run through you.

    He gets stronger as the game goes and if you are tired at the end of the half, he is impossible to tackle. His lower body is so big.

    I see him everyday and sometimes in practice he does something and you say, did he really do that?? Did that really just happen and sometimes its like watching a video game, it’s like how did he do that?

    Then it hits you that he’s very young. But don’t let that fool you. When he gets on the field he’s a different person.

    Q. He plays all over the field for you. Talk about his strengths?

    A. I think his best position is outside. He is not a big kid, but has good speed and instincts. He understands what he is doing out there whether it is at receiver, quarterback or safety. He is a student of the game. One of the things I like about him is even in practice he will lineup against our best player so he can get better.

    Coaches Q&A with Steve Shiffert:

    Q. What are his strengths as a running back?

    A. He has two things going for him. He has excellent vision and deceptive strength. He will run into a pack and bounce out of it and he can go coast to coast. His biggest asset is the way he sees the hole, hits it and gets through it.

    He sees things really well out there. He is a guy that we like to get in open space and you may see him at receiver more this year.

     

    Q. When you move him out to receiver what are his strengths?

    A. His strength is his hands. He really has soft hands and when he gets in space he is hard to bring down. He is more of an outside guy. When we put him out there I don’t think people expect him to be a good route runner and he is. He is pretty much a mismatch with most high school corners.

     

    Q. Do you want to move Shane around more this year?

    A. I think one of our goals this year is to get him more touches, but in different spots. We feel every time he touches the ball there is a potential for him to put six points up on the board and it doesn’t matter where he is on the field. He has that knack at finding the end zone.

He has a long stride and when he gets into his stride you don’t realize he’s going as fast as he is. He is very strong and he’s tough to bring down when he catches the ball.

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. Kyle is our field general. On the offensive side of the ball there are many times we go no huddle and the ball is really in his hands to make the call and checks at that point.

    He has been captain on his baseball and basketball teams. He brings a lot of leadership from those two sports to our team. Our captains are usually seniors on the football team.

     

    Q. What are his strengths as a quarterback?

    A. He has a strong arm and great visionand his biggest strength is his ability to interrupt and execute. He’s able to pickup things very quickly. He’s very coachable and he knows the offense. When we watch game tape he is always writing down notes on improving his game. He’s like a coach on the field. When you combine his knowledge of the game with his athletic talent that is what makes him stand out from other quarterbacks.

     

    Q. How is he as a runner?

    A. He is a physical runner and is good at extended the play. He can tuck it and run or find an open receiver. We used him more last year as a runner.

    Coaches Q&A with Matt Hildebrand:

    Q. What are his strengths as a quarterback?

    A. One of his strengths is decision making. He doesn’t force a lot of balls in there. Last season he had 39 touchdowns and only six interceptions.

    He has great arm strength and he has the ability to make plays with his arm and can make all the throws. Sometimes in practice he’s throwing it too hard for certain receivers we have to tell him to bring it down a little bit.

    He does a great job finding the open receiver. Last year we had three receivers over 20 catches.

     

     

    Q. How is he as a runner?

    A. He does a good job running and you may see him run more this year. Last year he didn’t have to run a lot for us. But he does have the ability to run if he has to. He is a big strong kid possibly the strongest kid on our team.

     

     

    Q. Talk about his record setting year last year?

    A. He has a good work ethic both on and off the field. He is the hardest worker I have ever had as a coach and he has a relentless drive to win. So, he leads the team that way and never settles for anything less. He puts countless hours in during the offseason. So, all these things have contributed to his record setting year.

     

     

    Q. What type of defensive player is he?

    A. He’s a physical player on defense and likes to play man-to-man. Sometimes he goes up against a quicker kid and uses his strength to slow that kid down. He has football smarts and natural instincts out there. Also, playing quarterback helps him on defense reading the other quarterback.

    Coaches Q&A with Chris Eiswerth:

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. When he goes to the weight room, the others look for him. He is an extremly hard worker and humble guy and is just learning his craft. All his players look up to him and follow his lead.

     

     

    Q. What are his strengths as a running back?

    A. He’s not a dancer when he runs. He is a down hill runner. He’s the strongest kid on our team. He can bench press 400 pounds. You add his speed with his power and he’s a special player. When he hits the hole and gets through, he’s gone.

    He can carry the ball 30 times for us if we need him to and as the game gets deeper he wears people down and gets stronger. He may get two yards, then three yards and all of the sudden he goes 50.

    He hasn’t played much football in his career. So, he is still learning. He has gone to a lot of camps this year and we are excited about what he has learned.

    Coaches Q&A with Greg Myers:

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. He’s a kid that everyone looks up to like our quarterback, Jay Popson. When we need a vocal leader he’s there. But, he leads by example with his work ethic, focus and drive and his commitment to the game.

     

    Q. What are his strengths as a running back?

    A. He is a very physical runner and can put a move on and run away from you. We like to motion him out of the backfield. We have some packages for him and we try and get him into space. He has great hands and is able to catch the ball in space.

     

    Q. Do you use him in the wildcat formation?

    A. Yes, in our offense that is all we do. We direct snap to Frank 40% of the time. If we aren’t direct snapping to him we are to our quarterback. You never know whom we are snapping too.

     

    Q. What are his strengths as a linebacker?

    A. He has great lateral movement and he is a very powerful and explosive kid. He can play inside the box and does a very great job sideline to sideline.

    I think his lateral movement separates him from other kids.

    Coaches Q&A with John Toman:

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. He shows it on the field, but he isn’t afraid to voice his opinion if someone isn’t giving a full effort on the field. The younger kids look up to him. He has a good relationship with all his players. He would rather get the job done with out talking, but if he needs to be vocal, he will.

     

     

    Q. What type of quarterback is he?

    A. He’s very football savvy and he knows the game. He has a great arm and good feet. He can make all the throws and is mobile.

    There will be times in the game where he will call his own plays and has a certain list of plays to go to.

    He is very competitive and he has that “it” factor. He has been very successful and wants to win. He brings out the best in all our players.

    In the big games he shined with his arm and feet and especially in the playoffs he came of age in those games.

    Coaches Q&A with Phil Stambaugh:

    Q. What kind of leader is he?

    A. He’s a good leader on both sides of the ball. He has a lot of varsity experience playing basketball and football. We have been young the last two years and it was a guy like him as a sophomore that stepped in immediately and had to be a leader for us. Overall the team didn’t have a lot of experience and he was one of the guys that had a little because of basketball.

    He had moved around for us and played a lot of different spots and he is a kid that makes the people around him better. He’s excited about going out for practice and that really helps us. He sets the tempo for us in practice.

     

    Q. What are his strengths on defense?

    A. He’s a natural athlete. A lot of stuff comes pretty easy to him, but he is also able to pickup what the offense is doing. He follows the ball well, has great awareness on the field and at times we try and move him up to play strong safety.

    His best position is free safety and with him in the middle of the field he can see a lot more. He was great at breaking up passes and making a lot of tackles for us.

    He is a point guard in basketball and he sees the game the same way on the football field.

     

    Q. Are you going to move him around on offense this year?

    He is a talented guy for us offensively. He’s a guy we need to get the ball into his hands because he makes plays. He had good numbers for us last year and we are excited to see what he does this year as a senior.

    Coaches Q&A with Carm DeFrancesco:

    Q. What are his strengths at the tight end position?

    A. We use him as an h-back. We like to put him in the slot. What is unique about him is, we run him on those jet sweeps. He has top end speed, but doesn’t have that great burst off the line. If you watch him run track at 20 meters he starts to hit his stride.

    We like to use him on crossing routes and get him into open space. The reason we like to use him in the slot a lot is, because we will get a matchup with him on a linebacker and that is a good matchup for us.

     

    Q. What are his strengths at the linebacker position?

    A. He’s more of a blitzing guy. We put him in that grey area and send him off the edge. He does a good job in coverage. He’s more of our strongside/outside linebacker.

     

    Q. Is he playing any other position for you this year?

    A. He may see sometime at the fullback position and from that position we can motion him from that spot. A lot of schools are recruiting him at the h-back position. He also plays some special teams.
