Continue ReadingYesterday, we released our preseason first-team all-state offense. The team was headlined by a trio of prospects from St. Joes Prep in Philadelphia. Today, we move to the defensive side of the ball, where once again the Philadelphia Powerhouse has a strong showing.
DL: Elliot Donald Elliot Donald 6'2" | 225 lbs | DL Central Catholic | 2021 State PA – Pittsburgh Central Catholic: The state’s top defensive lineman in the 2021 recruiting class is an easy preseason first-team all-state selection. Donald has the ability to take the game over defensively and is a true game wrecker. He’s going to be double-teamed a lot but that shouldn’t stop him from dominating.
DL: Enai White Enai White 6'6" | 230 lbs | DL Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA – Imhotep: The top defensive lineman regardless of class in the sate in my mind is White. He was scary good as just a sophomore and I think I speak for the entire PrepRedzone Pennsylvania team when I say, we’re excited to see his growth heading into this season.
DL: Elijah Jeudy Elijah Jeudy 6'1" | 208 lbs | DL Northeast | 2021 State PA – Northeast: The Georgia commitment is a high-potential prospect who may end up being the most impact defensive lineman at the next level in the 2021 recruiting class.
DL: Nahki Johnson Nahki Johnson 6'3" | 219 lbs | DL West Mifflin | 2021 State PA – West Mifflin: Johnson is quite the high-potential defensive end himself thanks to great size but also great burst and athleticism that allows him to get into opposing backfields quickly. It’s going to be hard for anyone to stop him.
LB: Jeremiah Trotter Jr Jeremiah Trotter Jr 6'0" | 215 lbs | LB St Joes Prep | 2021 State PA – St. Joes Prep: Elliot Donald Elliot Donald 6'2" | 225 lbs | DL Central Catholic | 2021 State PA isn’t the only player on the list with NFL ties as Jeremiah Trotter Jr Jeremiah Trotter Jr 6'0" | 215 lbs | LB St Joes Prep | 2021 State PA is the son of former NFL star linebacker Jeremiah Trotter (obviously). Trotter is as almost as complete as they come when it comes to being a high school linebacker. Unfortunately, St. Joes Prep of course will not be playing this fall due to COVID.
LB: Donovan McMillian – Peters Township: McMillian has the ability to play both linebacker and safety and truly could be a first-team selection at either position. He’s a special talent to say the least.
LB: Abdul Carter Abdul Carter 6'3" | 225 lbs | LB Lasalle College | 2022 State PA – La Salle: Carter has everything you look for in a future Power 5 linebacker when it comes to speed, athleticism, and skillset. A class of 2022 prospect, Carter is going to have the chance to be a high impact player for years to come.

– St. Joes Prep: Our no.2 overall player in the class of 2022 was in for what would’ve been a huge junior season after showing his abilities last year. We will have to wait until the spring to see his growth from last season.
DB: Derrick Davis Derrick Davis 6'1" | 194 lbs | DB Gateway | 2021 State PA – Gateway: A special talent, Davis is highly physical safety and in all ways is an ELITE talent that could make an impact from day one at the next level. He’s going to be incredibly fun to watch this season and wherever he plays his college ball.
DB: Tyreek Chappell Tyreek Chappell 5'11" | 165 lbs | DB Northeast | 2021 State PA – Northeast: The Texas A&M commitment is pretty good in his own right and is a shutdown corner for Northeast.
DB: Javon McIntyre Javon McIntyre 6'0" | 188 lbs | DB Imhotep Charter | 2021 State PA – Imhotep Charter: McIntyre is a physical safety who’s able to make plays on the ball both on the ground and through the air. He’s good at also getting into opposing backfields and has a knack for finding himself around the ball and making big plays.
