LB David Charles II Class of 2022 St.Paul's Prep (NH) 6'0",220 Player notes - Top 2022 MLB recruit David Charles II is a tenacious force in the middle of the defense and is able to take on blocks with outstanding technique, leverage and brute force. Charles II is able to disengage quickly to find the ball carrier and is a very sure tackler when he arrives at the football. David possesses uncanny agility and reads plays instinctively, while being able to use his God given abilities beautifully when keeping his legs driving to finish off tackles. He is a fullback or lead blockers worst nightmare and plays with an extremely high motor at the MLB position. Charles II has been added to our Top 2022 LB recruit rankings at College Football Today and we expect a big season for David in the State of Massachusetts. |

DE/OLB Elijah Fields Class of 2023 Spring HS (TX) 6'1", 260 Player Notes - Fields is an explosive edge rusher out of Legacy School of Sports & Science (TX) and was able to crack our 2023 Top 100 at College Football Today with his excellent play in the trenches. Elijah is one of the quickest D-linemen I have seen in the 9th grade at his size and weight, which is a major reason why he was able to wreak havoc in opponents backfields on Varsity as a Freshmen. Update: Elijah Fields has been dominant in the trenches since being ranked as a 2023 Top 1000+ FB recruit & has been nominated for Texas HS Football's Week Two Player of The Week, as he has been one of the key contributors to the North Shore HS football defense. Fields reminds me of a young Aaron Donald with his ability to gain instant leverage on his opponents while knocking them into the backfield and quickly detach by utilizing his brute strength or his excellent collection of finesse and power moves. After a dominating start to the 2022 Texas HS football season Fields will be sky-rocketing up the 2023 Top 1000+ at College Football Now & ESPN Plus! |
