Pennsylvania football has kicked off in parts around the state and we are happy to deliver our fourth game balls of the season to players who stepped up to the plate and overachieved.
Hunter Wolfley – RB/FS, 5’10”, 170lbs, C/O 2021, Midd-West HS
Stat Line: 27 att, 452yds, 5 TDs, 2 rec, 44 yds,

We lead off with Wolfey who had a night to remember as he turned in a top 10 single-game yards-from-scrimmage performance in PIAA history! This kid was nearly unstoppable all night long, busting runs of 40, 54, 57, 63, and 82 yards for touchdowns! His build isn’t remarkable but he runs with a low center of gravity which helps him stay balanced and tight in and out of holes. What was obvious and on display throughout the game was his outside-zone running ability, his ability to set up outside lane blocking, and his good home-run straught-line speed. Those traits when combined with solid vision can lead to massive chunks of yards, which was the case Friday night.
Kaden Lucko – OLB/RB, 5’8″, 185lbs, C/O 2021, Tussey Mountain HS
Stat Line: 229 rushing yards, 3TDs

Lucko’s performance wasn’t PIAA record-breaking but hell was it impressive. His recent outing against North Star was a fun one to watch. Lucko, who also takes reps at linebacker for Tussey Mtn., isn’t going to impress scouts with speed, athleticism, or agility, it’s his tough, north-south running style that shines on film. This kid runs with an attitude and with purpose. Tussey Mtn’s offense is designed to run the ball, at times having multiple players in the backfield, tons of misdirection, and tons of I-formation downhill running which suits Lucko well. He’s a tough kid to bring down and had himself a night against North Star.
AJ Corrado – WR/DB, C/O 2021, Burrell HS
Stat Line: 11 rec, 172yds, 2 TDs
Hudl Link – https://www.hudl.com/profile/14635030/AJ-Corrado
AJ Corrado, a wideout, defensive back and stellar wrestling prospect out of Burrell HS hauled in 11 passes Friday night, which in of itself is a solid outing. Two of those went for touchdowns and he racked up 170+ yards to go with those scores. No film was available on the night, however, the film on his Hudl profile shows a well put together outside-lane receiver who understands how to utilize leverage and speed to be deemed a deep threat.
Micah Brubaker – QB/DB, 6’2″, 185lbs, C/O 2021, Mechanicsburg HS
Stat Line: 268 scrimmage yards (239 rushing, 29 passing), 3 TDs
Hudl Link – https://www.hudl.com/profile/11476222/Micah-Brubaker
Don’t let this stat line fool you, the Mechanicsburg quarterback is more than capable of throwing the ball downfield. He is a dual-threat QB who loves to take what the defense gives him and can be trusted to make the correct choice of taking off or hitting teammates downfield. I like his height but he has a ton of room to grow and fill out his frame. No film on his most recent outing where he torched the Greencastle defense for 230+ yards on the ground. However, some study on his previous game film shows an intriguing prospect who is more than just an athlete at the quarterback position. Brubaker has a talented arm and he likes to push the ball downfield. The consistency in his mechanics isn’t there and to be honest, a lot of work needs to be done to jump onto our rankings, nonetheless, the kid has potential. He’s productive on the run and defenses must gameplan to contain Brubaker.
Jaeden Zuzak – RB/FS, 5’9″, 205lbs, C/O 2021, California HS
Stat Line: 440 rushing yards, 7 TDs, 1 Int

Last but not least is a running back out of California High School who put up SEVEN scores this past outing. I don’t care where you’re from or what position you play, scoring seven touchdowns puts you on every local scout’s radar for at least the weekend. Zuzak might force scout’s hands if he continues to produce like this week in and week out. Much like Tussey Mtn’s offense, Cal likes to have multiple men on the line of scrimmage and in the backfield to really hammer the ball through the trenches. A North-and-south running style is ideal in this offense and Zuzak brings that and more to the table. Absolutely love his ability to change speed, he shows the ability to burst through initial gaps and show patience to let things develop at the second level. This trait is an advanced trait not seen often amongst PA backs. Zuzak’s game relies on the awesome power he has behind his legs. His ability to run past, around, and through you was on full display in what was a highly enjoyable film study. This kid was too much to handle this past weekend. Five of his seven touchdowns were 50+ yard runs! He even brought in an interception of defense. Zuzak will most certainly see more mention on this site.
