Continue ReadingWeeks four and five of the Philadelphia Public League Spring Football season are in the books! A good amount of prospects have stood out in five weeks, many of which were not on our radar. It’s our pleasure to help provide some exposure and spotlight to those who may not receive it, yet are deserving. Let’s dive into who stood out, whose stock is rising, and what teams we expect to continue dominating.
We have combined results and stand-outs from each week four and five because of a lack of games. It’s best to combine what went down through the last two weeks. Quick evaluations of players who are new to the site will be given. Week Six recaps are on the way!
Week 4 *
West Philadelphia 18 Overbrook 12
- Zaire Brown
- Mujaheed Muhammad
These two continue to make their names known because of their stellar play week in and week out. They have both become staples on our site when discussing West Philadelphia. Muhammad recently decided on where he will be playing college ball as well! Congrats from us!

Bartram 28 Lincoln 26
- Jaquan Givens
- Markel Morgan
- Kevin Brookins
- Kasan Johnson-Townsend
Much like Zaire Brown and Mujaheed Muhammad for West Philly, Jaquan Givens and Markel Morgan have become premier names when highlighting Bartram. Brookins and Johnson-Townsend are newer names to the site. Kasan Johnson-Townsend recently committed to Lock Haven University, hope he represents the PPL well!

- Khavon Walker
- Ed Dualu
- Dan Gardee
Ed Dualu is a new name to look out for. He’s yet another weapon to look out for on this Lincoln offense.
Olney 22 Boys Latin 0
- Khaleef Jones
- Reggie McNeil
- Jabari Morgan
- Cyncere Hennix
Putting Cyncere Hennix aside, all Olney prospects listed above are new to the site. ATH Jabari Morgan has stood out in both weeks 4 and 5.
- Aaron McFadden
Kensington W Vaux – BP L

Imhotep 29 MLK 0
- Tim Lasmith
- Will Robinson Will Robinson 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA
- Maurice Beverly Maurice Beverly 6'1" | 220 lbs | LB Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA
- Keon Wylie Keon Wylie 6'3" | 220 lbs | DL Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA
- D’Shaun Seals D’Shaun Seals 5'7" | 155 lbs | WR Imhotep Charter | 2022 PA
- Kenny Woseley
This marks the first time we have been able to highlight and cover one of Philadelphia’s premier ball clubs. Imhotep boasts loads of talent at pretty much every position but for now, we will stick with these six players as to who stood out from week 4.
Class of 2022 running back Will Robinson Will Robinson 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA , as well as Penn State commit and West Chester commit Keon Wylie Keon Wylie 6'3" | 220 lbs | DL Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA and D’Shaun Seals D’Shaun Seals 5'7" | 155 lbs | WR Imhotep Charter | 2022 PA have looked as advertised thus far. Keon Wylie Keon Wylie 6'3" | 220 lbs | DL Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA has been a terror along the defensive line which was to be expected. An unknown to us is senior Quarterback Tim Lasmith. The kid has earned a deeper look from us as he has shown serious playmaking ability as well as carrying the ideal frame to play college ball if given a chance. Up-and-coming star defensive back Kenny Woseley Jr. has recently received an offer from Pitt! Pitt quick to offer yet another stand-out defensive back out of Tep.

Week 5 *
Lincoln W Belmont L
- Khavon Walker
- Khani Knight
- Saahir Strong-Teagle
The dominant player we saw at the Pylon 7v7 in Delaware this past February was on go against Belmont. Khavon “Duke” Walker showed out, securing three touchdowns in the win. This kid is still unsigned. Khani Knight continues to impress. A young quarterback who continues to produce at a high level.
Edison/Fels 12 Vaux 6
- Matthew Salas
- Tymir Williams
- Shyear Fletcher
Edison and Fels combined teams due to a lack of total players willing to play this Spring. This is the first we are hearing of them. Not too much film to uncover from any of these prospects yet we still want to highlight their names. Hopefully, they can string together a couple of good performances to catch our eyes further.
Kensington 24 Roxborough 12
- Maurice Walker
- Jason Clark
It’s a shame I have just uncovered Maurice Walker’s name. He has made his name impossible to miss now with nothing short of a stellar mid-season performance. The 6’4, 240-pound defensive lineman has produced for Kensington week in and week out but was hidden due to weak overall performances from his squad. Our eye is on this kid from here on out.
- Sameer Holmes
Overbrook 42 South Philadelphia 0
- Mehki Gordon
- Raheem Seamon
- Jarren Alexander
- Anthony Talley
- Dechaune Jackson
- Jermaine Small-Johnson
- Darrell Chapman
- Rasool Dover
Overbrook was on one against South Philly in Week 5. A multitude of names stood out from this game. Great play out of Dechaune Jackson has been expected at this point but shout out to quarterback Raheem Seamon and the rest of the cast for putting up big numbers in a 42-0 win.
- Michael Fayemi
South Philadelphia HS has had a rough Spring Season. Yet senior and Shippensburg commit Michael Fayemi has been a consistent playmaker for his squad. His overall season has been a bright spot.
Northeast 22 Neumann & Goretti 20
- Di’Andre Green Di’Andre Green 5'10" | 160 lbs | QB HS of the Future | 2021 PA
- Ken Talley Ken Talley 6'2" | 220 lbs | DL Northeast | 2022 State PA
- Amir Valentine
- Terail Greene
- Tiar Young Tiar Young 6'1" | 179 lbs | WR School of the Future | 2021 PA
The usual suspects stood out for the Vikings in what was one of the best games to watch this Spring. Talented prospects everywhere on both teams. We like what we saw out of Amir Valentine. Valentine, Robinson, and Greene all share the rock in the backfield for NE. It’s tough making yourself known alongside Robinson and Greene, Valentine did just that.
- Marqui Adams Marqui Adams 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Neumann-Goretti | 2022 State PA
- Jayden Sumpter
- Solo Bambara
- Sam Hobbs
Congrats to Solo Bambara who recently received an offer from Old Dominion University!
https://twitter.com/BambaraSolo/status/1385367868192219142?s=20
New names out of Neumann-Goretti are Jayden Sumpter and Samuel Hobbs. We love uncovering more talent and it’s a travesty to not know about Hobbs yet. No film has been found on Sumpter but the same can’t be said for Hobbs. The kid is a potential star in the making, standing at 6’1 and 200 pounds. Looking forward to seeing more out of this kid.
Olney 6 MLK 0
- Khalik Barrett
- Jabari Morgan
- Cyncere Hennix
- Dylan Heath
Jabari Morgan and Cyncere Hennix lead the way again for Olney, as both are putting together solid second-half performances. We also liked what we saw out of Dylan Heath’s mid-season tape. Hopefully, we can continue to feature him on the site.
Bartram 20 Gratz 6
- Jaquan Givens
- Kevin Brookins
- Titus David
This game ended up derailing both teams’ seasons as a Gratz player ended up testing positive for COVID-19. We wish that player a speedy recovery and hope all affected are able to bounce back. Bartram was on a roll and looking like one of Philly’s best teams this Spring. Sad to say their season is more than likely over. That being said, we at PRZPA have seen multiple standout prospects put together some quality tape this past month. Their work hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Imhotep 27 West Catholic 0
- D’Shaun Seals D’Shaun Seals 5'7" | 155 lbs | WR Imhotep Charter | 2022 PA
- Jahsear Whittington
- Will Robinson Will Robinson 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA
- Shafeek Smith Shafeek Smith 5'8" | 156 lbs | DB Imhotep Institute Charter | 2021 State PA
- Keon Wylie Keon Wylie 6'3" | 220 lbs | DL Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA
- Maurice Beverly Maurice Beverly 6'1" | 220 lbs | LB Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA
- Tim Lasmith
- Emir Stinette Emir Stinette 6'5" | 330 lbs | OL Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA
- Jamir Reyes Jamir Reyes 6'1" | 180 lbs | DB Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA
- Gio Graham
Imhotep dominates for a second straight week as many ranked prospects show they deserve said ranking. Giovonni Graham Giovonni Graham 6'2" | 300 lbs | DL Imhotep Institute Charter | 2022 State PA , Jamir Reyes Jamir Reyes 6'1" | 180 lbs | DB Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA , and Emir Stinette Emir Stinette 6'5" | 330 lbs | OL Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA have followed suit in standing out in Week 5. Two currently unranked prospects, Tim Lasmith and Jahsear Whittington showed why that unranked status should change. I’m surprised Whittington hasn’t received an offer yet. Someone needs to jump on this excellent linebacker now!
Mastery Charter 12 West Philadelphia 7
No Film?
Ben Franklin 18 Boys Latin 14
- Nafis Smith
- Lamir Molina
- Nehemiah Nelson
Lamir Molina’s name has come up a second time as he continues to impress. He’s yet another stud defensive lineman who’s deep in the PPL game. Hopefully, outlets like ours can help kids like Molina get their respect.
