Here Comes the Class of 2030 (Reprise), Part II

Another round of seven new Statesmen was released this morning with one familiar name (Magley) from earlier this year. A kicker from NC was an interesting get, as well as a lineman named Mania. 

Here's the next group in Coach DeWall's latest update:

Another strong group, bringing the Class to 14, so far. This one is a nice group from places Hobart has had success in the past - NJ, Boston area and Southern CT - along with the usual NYS group. 

More to come here on the recruiting front as I would expect another group tomorrow and likely into Thursday.

Here Comes the Class of 2030 (Reprise Edition), Part I

With only two weeks to go until fall preseason camp, Hobart Football HC Kevin DeWall '00 has taken to the app formerly known as Twitter to start introducing the new members of the Statesmen Class of 2030. 

Let's see who he's recognized, and we'll keep adding updates as we see them:

A strong group to start us off. I had previously tracked down the commitments from Watson and Regan, but the other five are new players to me. Very interested in the Milligan commitment. Hobart doesn't often get student athletes from Texas. 

More to come here on the recruiting front as I would expect another group tomorrow and likely into Wednesday or Thursday.

More Moye's To Attend Hobart

Hope everyone is enjoying a happy and healthy summer. It's already pretty hot here in Florida and it's only June!

I was recently given a heads up that the Pingry School (NJ) SR QB Ryan Moye, younger brother of rising SO WR Jack Moye, will be coming to Hobart this fall as part of the Class of 2030.

Moye was a three-sport student athlete at Pingry, also playing basketball and baseball. You can check out his football highlight reel here. 

Moye had a record-breaking career on the gridiron for Pingry, passing for 4,389 yards, 50 passing TDs compared to only 15 INTs in his four years there. A dual threat, he also rushed for 956 yards and 13 rushing TDs over the same time period. 

Needless to say, he looks like he has the tools to be a QB of the future for the Statesmen, but time will tell as he adjusts to the college game. 

Please join me in welcoming Ryan to the Hobart College Football family. Great to have more Moye's on the team!

Hunterdon Central's Mongno Says Yes to Statesmen

Hunterdon Central Regional HS (NJ) SR WR/FS James Mongno took to Instagram to announce this commitment to attending and playing football at Hobart College. 

Mongno appears to be a WR who can play slot or on the outside. He runs good routes and creates separation with the defense. You can check out his highlight reel here.

Please join me in welcoming James and the extended Mongno family to the Hobart College football one!

We're less than 100 days away from the 2026 season! 

Red Hook's Oji Signs with Statesmen

Red Hook HS (NY) recently posted on twitter / X feed that their graduating SR WR Brantley Oji officially committed to playing football at Hobart in a signing day ceremony last Wednesday.

 You can see Brantley flanked by his proud family and coaching staff in the photo below. 

Based on his Hudl film, Oji uses his height (6' 2") and long stride to create separation and outjump would be defenders. He definitely will cause some matchup problems for most D3 DBs.

Please join me in welcoming Brantley and the extended Oji family to the Hobart Football one!

Webster-Thomas High's MJ Wells is Staying Close to Home with the Statesmen

Webster-Thomas HS (NY) SR RB/LB MJ Wells took to twitter recently to state that:

"I am excited to announce my commitment to Hobart to continue my academic and football journey. I would like to start by thanking my mom and my family for guiding me along the way and helping make the right the decision thank you. I would also like to thank my coaches as-well as teammates for helping me get better and motivating me to push through. Finally, I would like to thank the coaches at Hobart for believing me and giving me this opportunity to play at the next level."

With his hometown only about an hour away, MJ's family won't have to travel far to see his home games in Geneva. Standing 6' and weighing 200 lbs., MJ shows a lot of the skills we've come to expect from Statesmen LBers. You can see for yourself here. 

Please join me in welcoming MJ and the extended Wells family as the latest edition to the Hobart Football Class of 2030!

Jupiter's KJ Larsen Selects Statesmen

One of my "sources" has informed me that Jupiter HS (FL) SR TE/LB KJ Larsen has recently committed to Hobart. KJ helped his team to their first undefeated regular season in school history. While they lost a close one to Orlando area powerhouse Dr. Phillips HS in the playoffs, Larsen and his teammates had a historic run.

Standing 6' 2" and 220 lbs., Larsen is a matchup problem for defenses out of the backfield as a receiver and his athleticism makes him a menace to opposing offenses from the LB/OLB position. At JHS Larsen also starred on the hardwood, helping his team win a district championship in basketball.

You can check out his highlight reel here. 

 

Please join me in welcoming KJ and the extended Larsen family to the Hobart College Football one!
