A group of high school football players has been identified as top talent for the upcoming Colonial-Schuylkill League 2025 season. The list is based on previous performances and input from coaches, focusing on athletes who not only have potential for college-level play but also prioritize teamwork.
Leading the selections are players such as Logan Anthony of Palmerton, a Rutgers commit recognized for his work ethic and impact on both sides of the ball, and Matt Bodnar from Notre Dame-Green Pond, who threw for over 4,000 yards last year and is working towards a district title. Mason Bollinger from Northwestern Lehigh is noted for his versatility within the Tigers’ offense.
The list also includes Manny Bolmer of Catasauqua, whose multiple touchdowns came through receiving, rushing, and defense. Austin Casal of Notre Dame-Green Pond anchors both sides of the line as a four-year starter.
Other highlighted players are Lincoln Cook (Palisades), Lucas Croizier (Lehighton), Rory Dixon (Marian Catholic), Chris Frame (Northern Lehigh), Carter Giberson (Southern Lehigh), Shane Hulmes (Northwestern Lehigh), Cole Lazorick (Jim Thorpe), Shane Leh (Northwestern Lehigh), Sean Steckert (Southern Lehigh), and Jonathan Striba (Notre Dame-Green Pond).
Another group of 15 athletes is mentioned as players to watch during the season. They represent various teams across the league and play multiple roles on offense and defense.
The new season offers an opportunity for returning leaders to guide their teams, while others not yet featured could make significant impacts.
