<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are profiles on five talented sophomores (2028s) from southern New Jersey who made a significant impact with their outstanding play during the 2026 high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["177760"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":177785,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a17209173368"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This season, Driscoll has proven to be an extremely athletic and skilled prospect who can play multiple positions. On offense, Driscoll operated from both attack and midfield. At attack, Driscoll can snipe sidearms from GLE or the wing. This shifty prospect can also initiate from X, as well as the corners, and generate scoring opportunities for himself or teammates. As a midfielder, Driscoll can dodge from up top, get downhill in a flash, and then score or distribute on the move. His quick cuts and elusive stick maneuvers allow Driscoll to drive deep into the opposing defense for finishes around the crease. Driscoll's quick release, power, and precise aim make him a legitimate perimeter step-down threat. College coaches will love Driscoll's ability to drop back and play SSDM for stretches. So far this season, Driscoll has netted 38 goals and delivered 26 assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["129562"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":177788,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a172415815fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Back in early April, DyReyes poured in five goals and dished out three assists in a win over Cherokee. That headline-grabbing performance was a preview of the breakout sophomore campaign DyReyes was about to assemble. This season, DyReyes posted 25 goals and 29 assists as he helped push Haddonfield to a berth in the NJSIAA state tournament. DyReyes's length, solid frame, quick first step, and filthy stick skills make him a difficult 1v1 matchup. He is especially effective when operating at X. From behind the net, DyReyes can execute a face dodge or stutter step that cooks the initial defender and then charges around the corner for a finish in close. Or he can turn the corner and then push up the hash before turning and firing a missile into the net. DyReyes can also take a more deliberate approach on his dodges from X and simply wear out a defender with his physicality. Once DyReyes gets to his preferred spots, he will rip a shot into the cage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["177762"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":177789,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1724158166a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Passehl is a long, athletic, and rangy attack/middie. Combine those assets with his polished stick skills and non-stop motor, and you get a well-rounded offensive prospect who college coaches should scout immediately. This spring, Passehl posted 37 goals and 22 assists for a Paul VI (14-3) team that closed the regular season on an eleven-game winning streak. Passehl excels in transition, where his separation speed, cutback ability, and refined stick skills make him a threat to go coast to coast. He also does a fantastic job of coming out of the box, receiving an outlet pass, and then swiftly pushing the rock into the offensive end for scoring chances. Passehl can crank shots on the move or slam on the brakes and then rip. Plus, this sophomore is a willing passer who has demonstrated tremendous field vision. When Passehl runs at attack, he can provide a serious scoring punch from the wing, the high crease area, or the low spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["174184"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a172415816a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During his extraordinary sophomore campaign, Scannell scored 42 goals and handed out 36 assists. Ten of those goals came during an electric performance Scannell posted in Mainland's victory over Cedar Creek. This multi-skilled offensive prospect thrives when he operates in the low lefty attack spot. From there, Scannell can execute quick catch and rip shots from GLE. Or Scannell can receive a pass, shake his defender, and then charge to the front of the crease for a dunk. Scannell has also proven that he is a serious threat at X. His explosive first step allows Scannell to race past his defender, turn the corner, and then score in close. This lefty also possesses the poise, field vision, and passing skills to work as a feeder from X. Scannell's ability to play with both hands makes him difficult to defend.     </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["177763"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":177790,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a172415816fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sears has been a two-year starter at Shawnee, but this spring served as his breakout stretch of play. This 2028 pole owns impressive speed, an active stick, and a physical edge to his game. As a sophomore, Sears played both close defense and LSM. From both positions, Sears proved that he is an elite ground ball machine who could vacuum up GBs in the open field as well as in traffic. Once the ball was in his stick, Sears generated transition chances by swiftly legging the rock out himself or via accurate clearing passes. Defensively, Sears excelled at creating turnovers via punishing stick checks and crafty pokes, as well as by taking the body. His smooth lateral footwork and positioning skills enabled Sears to keep ball carriers in front of him for long stretches. Finally, Sears is a high IQ pole who did an impressive job of recognizing and then marking cutters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
