A little late with this but thanks to Kevin Perrington-Turner & the Asbury Park Press for recently asking me to do this article on some very deserving Shore Area prospects!

We asked New Jersey high school football guru David McCarthy to list players on the Shore who deserve more college recruitment.

While the tradition of the NFL playing on Thanksgiving dates back to 1934, football as an integral part of the holiday stretches back to 1876.

That's when Yale took on Princeton in Hoboken in the first-ever big-time Thanksgiving football game.

Been all over NJ scouting this Fall! Just want to thank to Joe Zedalis & the NJ.com staff for giving us the forum to give these deserving athletes much warranted recognition. In reality the list could potentially be hundreds of kids. We know there plenty of other great UTR players in NJ that we didnt have room to include but we feel this is a good start. Thank you guys again and congratulations to all these terrific players and underrated prospects! (the article is a subscriber exclusive but NJ. com is well worth it in our opinion)

What an unpredictable, topsy-turvy 2022 NJ High School 🏈 season! So impressed w/the level of play at Rutgers this past weekend, kudos to the 1st 5 true Public statewide champs in NJ HS FB history 🏆 and congrats to the 5 runner ups too, just to make it that far is a great accomplishment. The 5 public state champs are: Group 1 Woodbury, Gr. 2 Caldwell, Gr. 3 Old Tappan, Gr. 4 Millville & Gr. 5 Toms River North. What a fun ride its been, going thru withdrawals already!

🚨Have not seen this widely publicized yet but want to congratulate Sparta's All-State QB Austen Frattura on moving up to #3 all-time on the New Jersey career passing yardage list behind all-time leader Devin Leary, 2014-2017(Timber Creek/N.C. State) & Scott Brown, 1994-1997(Butler/Princeton). Austen has now passed for 8,137 career yards (just moved past Wilson-Camden's Nick Kargman who has 8,136) and still has at least 1 more playoff game to go so he should add to his total. Most importantly, Austen is an exemplary young man who is a great role model and is a terrific representative for NJ High School football! Carries a 4.0 in the classroom and does a lot of good work in the community. I tried to research this stat thoroughly but sometimes finding accurate HS stats is a crapshoot so if anyone has different info please drop us a line🚨
