Below are over 40 players that we’ve added to the recruit757 database in the past week or so.

For the South team, the highlight of Saturday’s Chesapeake Bowl All-Star Game was a drive carried mostly by Deion Stitt and Taquan Mizzell of Bayside High School. Unfortunately for the squad made up of players from Virginia, West Virginia, D.C., and Maryland, that bright spot came at the beginning at the game.

While this is the time of year for seniors to begin wrapping up their recruitment, Phoebus High School has a sophomore lineman that’s shining brightly. His freshman season put him on the radar and a successful sophomore campaign is only going to add to the notice that he gains this spring. Harry Lewis is an All-Region lineman already. He’s picked up a few offers and there’s sure to be more to come.

Senior class football recruits, you should know that its crunch time for getting your college commitment worked out. Most of the biggest schools have their recruiting classes already nailed down. They’re just putting in work over the next six weeks in order to make sure that their recruits stay committed.

Once you get down to picking the best of the Sophomore and Freshman classes, some of the selections are very obvious. Then the other selections are often picked from young players that got an early opportunity. There are few Jaason Lewis, Deshawn McClease and Nhyre Quinerly-type players out there. There are far more teams that are rebuilding and relying on young players to do it.

Phoebus football had a good year. They didn’t get their fifth straight state championship win, but they had a 12-1 season that only ended when the Phantoms fell in the Division 5 Eastern Region Title Game. New head coach Jeremy Blunt led the team to an undefeated regular season, and now he’s leading the recruiting effort for the remainder of his seniors that haven’t committed for college yet.

There are some excellent athletes in the 2014 class, and the cream certainly rises to the top. Quin Blanding and Jalyn Holmes are obvious picks for players of the year. In fact, the two players could be interchangeable when it comes to winning offensive or defensive awards.
