Continue ReadingCalling all college coaches. If you’re looking to fill the back end of your roster or missed on prospects you thought you might’ve landed, no worries! We have you covered! In this multi-part series, we will highlight some of the best unsigned and unoffered players that should be contacted immediately! I will do so by position, including quick one-liners of some notes based on each prospect’s film.
Carlos Rivera Carlos Rivera 6'1" | 190 lbs | ATH West Philadelphia | 2022 State PA | 6’0, 180 | ATH | West Philadelphia
- Status: Unoffered
- PRZPA Rank: 291
One of the more productive players in the PPL. West Philadelphia ATH who is the epitome of a dual-threat QB. Made some wow throws this past season, was even more spectacular on the move. I don’t think Rivera projects to the quarterback position at the next level but I can say with 100% certainty that his overall talent and play-making ability will hold value to a college program.
Will Robinson Will Robinson 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA | 5’9, 190 | RB | Imhotep Charter
- Status: Unoffered
- PRZPA Rank: 128
I have been a Will Robinson Will Robinson 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Imhotep Charter | 2022 State PA fan since last Spring, where Robinson earned Spring All-State honors. We all know how deep and talented the ’Tep stable of backs are and in a state championship run, the more fresh legs the better. His production took a slight dip due to injury as well. He’d be the first to tell you the senior season didn’t go as planned. Nonetheless, I stand on his ranking and potential. 2x all-state player still unoffered.
Donovan Saunders Donovan Saunders 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Northeast | 2022 State PA | 6’3, 290 | OL | Northeast
- Status: Unsigned / Offered: Misericordia
- PRZPA Rank: 214
Right by Misericordia to get a jump on one of the better offensive linemen in the city if not the state. I do believe that DIII ball is his floor, not his ceiling. 3.5 GPA. Position versatility. I have clamored for the kid to get more looks and am happy it’s starting to change. Has a DII floor in my opinion. All-State and All-Pub selection.
Marcus Bryant Marcus Bryant 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Simon Gratz | 2022 State PA | 5’10, 160 | DB | Simon Gratz
- Status: Unsigned / Offered: Widener, King’s College
- PRZPA Rank: 344
Might be the heavily recruited prospect on this list, yet his ranking doesn’t show it. That needs to change. Marcus Bryant Marcus Bryant 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Simon Gratz | 2022 State PA is every bit worthy of his recruiting success, getting Widener and King’s College to offer. Intelligent DB who can also provide quality reps at wideout. Love his accountability at DB. Quick feet, doesn’t panic often. Would love to get this kid in front of more college coaches at our showcase. He is a frequent campus visitor.
Check out my Season Highlights, we had a 6 game season due to Covid. Thanks to @ErikZipay @CoachHouse_ @CoachHankBrown and the rest of the Simon Gratz football staff for helping me become better. @PaFootballNews @PrepRedzone @PAPrepsRivals @PRZPAvic https://t.co/C7cWe5kMYs

Hakim Gantz Jr. | 6’0, 260 | DL | Olney Charter
- Status: Unsigned / Offered: Culver/Stockton, Clarke,
- PRZPA Rank: Unranked
I’ll be the first to admit it. Hakim Gantz and many other Olney prospects flew under my radar this past Fall. No excuse. 100% a rankable prospect who was just missed. His senior tape was cut short due to a torn ACL. Can still find plenty of quality reps on his latest film. Makes sense that Culver-Stockton offered him, Gantz Jr. fits the defensive line mold that they covet. Big, violent, tone-setter. Tone-setter might be the best way to describe Gantz. Well-coached player.
Ibrahim Diawara Ibrahim Diawara 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB Boys Latin | 2022 State PA | 6’3, 230 | DL | Boys Latin
- Status: Unoffered
- PRZPA Rank: 362
Every one of these pieces, there’s always a head-scratcher. Now any prospect listed that doesn’t have an offer should, Ibrhami Diawara however should have multiple. I can’t say as to why, but I can say what the kid can provide. Serious pass-rush ability. 13 sacks, 75 tackles. Production is there, albeit against solid competition. 6’3, 230 who can rush the passer with speed. Size and frame is there. Mini-Max award winner. 2nd-team All-State. The accolades are there. Not sure what else is missing. Would love to have him compete at our Showcase.
Tahjere Jackson Tahjere Jackson 6'1" | 170 lbs | DB West Philadelphia | 2022 State PA | 6’1, 170 | DB | West Philadelphia
- Status: Unoffered
- PRZPA Rank: 522
Last but not least is a player that epitomizes Unoffered & Unsigned. A true gem that I am willing to stand on. Tahjere Jackson Tahjere Jackson 6'1" | 170 lbs | DB West Philadelphia | 2022 State PA is a player college coaches should be intrigued by, film shows his ball awareness is a plus. Smooth hips. Break-on-ball ability is a plus. Say what you want about the competition level. This kid is worth an invite to campus at the least. Hope that happens for him. Would also love to see how he tests in a t-shirt and shorts.
