Mougey cooked. Laying the groundwork for a franchise QB in ‘27 was always the plan. Fantastic draft

I VIVIDLY remember going to Granatell Stadium for camp at the start of Chase’s sophomore season.
@DBP_Football HC Dan Sabella walks over. I ask, “who on earth is that?”
His response: “A future NFL draft pick.”
Congrats to Chase and the entire Bosco football community! Let’s GO

Good month for those named Oweh. Odafe gets $25M per year from the #Commanders. Otega hits this shot to send it to OT.

This is a homecoming for Minkah Fitzpatrick, who attended St. Peter's Prep in NJ. So there's that. #Jets
Davison was an absolute dog for Union and I'm SURE the big boys up North were calling 🤣
I covered the first game of his senior season at Union - Davison went toe to toe with LeQuint Allen + Lotzeir Brooks from Millville. Fantastic game.
Really hoping he shows out in Indy!
@DaveIgbinosun talked about winning a State championship for Union High School back home in New Jersey.
Told him I covered high school football back in the day, mentioned Don Bosco and Bergen Catholic, to which he quipped with a smile:
“Ohhh, the Big North.”

The updated @MLBPipeline Top 100 is here 👀
📈 The @Mets are one of four teams with two players in the Top 25
🤠 Nolan McLean is the only pitcher in the Top 10
🔝 McLean is the highest-ranked Mets prospect since Francisco Alvarez (No. 3 on the 2023 preseason ranking)
Yes - I covered future big leaguers, NFL players, NHL draft picks, pro soccer players and many more. But the every-day high school athlete is what made this job special. Capturing your big moment forever was truly such a joy. (4)
