205 rushing yds on 34 carries (6.03yds/carry), 91 tackles on defense w/ 2 INTs
Alexander “AJ” Moren led Eastern PA (including the EPC) w/ 8 INTs
Jamanni Cruz has 11 career receiving TDs
Key Newcomers:
Senior Jeremiah Bell was a late addition last season but looks to partner with Alexander “AJ” Moren at our safety positions this year. He is a tremendous athlete.
Sophomore Jadiel Gonzalez WR/DB showed great potential and work ethic during his freshman year. He has had a great summer and is pushing for a starting role on both sides of the ball.
2025 Offensive Outlook: Everything we do offensively this year will rely on our veteran offensive line. Sam Krauss is a dominant guard and our only 4-yr starter. Griffin Lakics is a 6’5 340lb lineman and 3yr starter. Elijah Garriga is another seasoned veteran who will be in his 3rd year starting at our center position. We will look to Grayson Gnall (started on the DL as a freshman in 2024), Isaac Lakics and Tariq Bailey to fill the tackle spots.
Senior Jordan Tocci looks to take the lead in our offensive backfield. Regardless of losing carries to our lead back last season Jason St Leger, Jordan achieved a 6+ yd/carry average when he did touch the ball.
Senior Jamanni Cruz is easily one of the best WRs in our league. He is a leader and has been scoring touchdowns since his sophomore campaign. He will look to anchor our WR core in his final season as a Falcon.
Senior Jacob Watson was a pivotal part of our 2024 offense. He played in more of a fullback type position last season and has the ability to be a bruising runner. Jake’s energy, leadership and positivity are unmatched.
Junior Keaton Frye has moved from TE to QB. He has had a great off-season, summer and has grown into a team leader and a capable quarterback.
AJ Moren, Jadiel Gonzalez and Jadan Claudio are all capable receiving threats.
Our goal is to improve on our passing efficiency this season while employing a fast and physical approach to our run game.
2025 Defensive Outlook: Of course, Alexander “AJ” Moren will anchor and lead our secondary. Dominic Natosi returns at one of our corner positions having only given up two completed passes during all of last season. Jordan Tocci and Jacob Watson will lead our LB core with Grayson Gnall and Jadan Claudio being relied upon to rush the passer. Jadan had 2 INTs from the DE position last season. Look to see a rotation of our veteran lineman at the interior DL positions. Gonzalez, Bell and Cruz will all be called upon for potentially starting contributions to our secondary.
Our goal is to play technically sound, aggressive defensive football this year.
2025 Special Teams Outlook: One of the benefits of growing our roster size during last season and now 2025, is the depth and availability of upcoming JV players who can contribute on special teams. We’re excited to see a number of those guys contribute on Friday nights.
