Based on some research, I believe you’ll see some changes after the next rankings update by Prep Redzone. For now, let’s look at where things stand in the 2022 New Jersey Football Prospect Rankings.
Today we look at New Jersey’s top players in the 2022 recruiting class from No. 45 to No. 36.
No. 45 Parker Williamson Parker Williamson 5'11" | LB Sparta | 2022 NJ Ι 5-11 Ι 165 Ι Linebacker Ι Sparta
Williamson is the No. 5 linebacker in the state. Williamson finished with 33 total tackles and four sacks in 7 games last season. He plays outside linebacker for his high school but is best suited to play middle linebacker in college.
No. 44 Jack Young Jack Young 5'10" | QB Newton | 2022 NJ Ι 5-10 Ι Quarterback Ι 170 Ι Newton
Young is a strong candidate to rise in these rankings during the next update. He completed 48-out-of-77 passes for 943 yards, eight touchdowns, and one interception in six games last season. Young also ran the football 30 times for 291 yards and one touchdown. His team won all six games that it played last season.
No. 43 Esquire Boyce Esquire Boyce 6'0" | LB Bergen Catholic | 2022 NJ Ι 6-1 Ι 225 Ι Linebacker Ι Bergen Catholic
Boyce is a hard-hitting, sideline-to-sideline, tackling machine. He’s very good at both outside and inside linebacker spots. I think he’ll excel in the middle at the next level.
No. 42 Steven Demboski Steven Demboski 6'4" | 270 lbs | DL Pascack Valley | 2022 NJ Ι 6-4 Ι 255 Ι Defensive Lineman Ι Pascack Valley
Demboski plays both offensive tackle and defensive tackle for his high school team. He made 24 tackles (eight solo) and sacked the quarterback three times last season. I like the odds of him staying on the defensive side of the football at the next level.
No. 41 Devion Sheppard Devion Sheppard 6'3" | QB West Side | 2022 State NJ Ι 6-5 Ι 225 Ι Quarterback Ι West Side
Sheppard completed 48-out-of-72 passes for 1,062 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions in six games last season. Don’t sleep on his ability to run the football. Sheppard has an offer from Buffalo and is getting a lot of interest from other Division I schools.
No. 40 Nick Petrillo Nick Petrillo 6'3" | TE Delbarton | 2022 NJ Ι 6-3 Ι 220 Ι Defensive Lineman Ι Delbarton
Petrillo caught 15 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns in six games last season. We have him listed as a lineman, but he’s blossomed more on the offensive side of the football.
No. 39 Charlie Barth Charlie Barth 5'11" | RB New Providence | 2022 State NJ Ι 6-0 Ι 215 Ι Running Back Ι New Providence
I’ll be the first to admit, it currently ranks Barth too low in these ratings. He had a monster junior year season this past fall. He carried the football 186 times for 1,702 yards and 25 touchdowns on the ground in nine games last season.
No. 38 Jackson Collins Jackson Collins 6'0" | LB Seton Hall Prep | 2022 NJ Ι 6-0 Ι 205 Ι Linebacker Ι Seton Hall Prep
Collins was all over the field for SHP last season. He made 73 total tackles (11 solo) in six games last season. Collins had 10 or more tackles in five contests.
No. 37 Iziah Belgrave Iziah Belgrave 6'0" | DB Don Bosco | 2022 NJ Ι 6-0 Ι Defensive Back Ι Don Bosco (N/A – not enough film)
No. 36 Bryce Cobb Bryce Cobb 6'2" | 210 lbs | RB Bound Brook | 2022 NJ Ι 6-2 Ι 190 Ι Running Back Ι Bound Brook
Cobb carried the football 73 times for 545 yards and two touchdowns last season.
