As one of the greatest high school seasons in South Jersey is in the books, it's time to honor some of brightest stars in the region.
It's our All-South Jersey Offense squad:
First Team Offense
QB: Jalen Parker, Winslow
The South Jersey Offensive Player of the Year.
RB: Aamir Dunbar, Cedar Creek
The senior rushed for a school-record 1,936 yards, his third straight 1,000-yard-plus season. Dunbar found the end zone 23 times helping power the Pirates to the state Group 3 title. The 6-foot, 200-pound Dunbar, a Maine commit, finished his scholastic career with 4,624 yards and 47 rushing touchdowns.
RB: Randall “RJ” Blount, Pennsauken
The 5-foot-11, 200-pound senior rumbled his way to his second 1,000-yard season for the Indians. He racked up 1,442 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in 10 games, including a season-high 230 yards against Shawnee in his final scholastic game. Blount is headed to Temple.
WR: Nyqir Helton, Winslow
“Boomer” was one of the best big-play specialists in South Jersey, hauling in a program-record 17 touchdown passes this season. The North Carolina-bound senior recorded two TD catches in six games and finished with 60 grabs for 1,210 yards. The 6-foot, 175-pound Helton finished his career with 2,694 receiving yards and 37 touchdown catches.
WR: Quayd Hendryx, Winslow
A highlight-reel pass catcher who made jaw-dropping horizontal grabs on an almost weekly basis, the Minnesota-bound Hendryx was a key piece of the Eagles’ high-flying offense. Despite missing three games following his transfer from Burlington Township, the 5-foot-11, 175-pound wide receiver quickly made up for lost time and finished with 43 catches for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns. Hendryx saved his best for last, catching two TD passes and ripping off a momentum-swaying 87-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the state final.
WR: Reggie Holley, Millville
One of the breakout stars of the ’25 season, the junior ignited the Thunderbolts with his TD ability. He found the end zone 19 times, including 10 times on the ground. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Holley was a difference maker in the passing game, hauling in 59 catches for 1,024 yards and nine scores.
WR: Jake Blum, Mainland
One of the best two-way players in South Jersey, Blum finished his career as the top receiver in school history. He made 34 catches for 520 yards and nine touchdowns in just eight games this season. He finished with 1,858 receiving yards and 24 TD catches to go along with six interceptions on defense at Mainland. He’ll play baseball at Army-West Point.
OL: Phil Hatfield, Winslow
The 6-foot-1, 280-pound senior was a mainstay of the Winslow offensive line as a three-year starter. In the center of all the action, he helped protect star quarterback Jalen Parker and was a driving force in the running game, which produced over 1,600 yards. Hatfield was a key piece to an Eagles team that went 36-5 over the last three seasons combined.
OL: Cameron Greene, St. Augustine
The 6-foot-7, 315-pound big fella was a three-year starter at left tackle for the Hermits. The Rutgers-bound senior was a key factor in opening up holes for a ground attack that produced over 1,600 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns.
OL: Jayce Grays, Glassboro
In the middle of Glassboro’s high-powered offense was this 6-foot-2, 280-pound senior who was a four-year starter at center. The Monmouth-bound Grays was key in a running game that churned out over 2,500 yards and help protect the QB in a passing game that delivered close to 3,000 yards.
OL: Will Crisdon, Camden
A pillar on the Panthers’ big and talented offensive line, Crisdon also provided leadership for the state Group 2 champions. The 6-foot-2, 285-pound Crisdon was a two-year starter at right guard and saw some time at left guard, helping Camden grind out over 2,600 yards on the ground for the second consecutive season.
OL: Ona Pela, Cherry Hill East
The 6-foot-3, 270-pound Pela was a huge reason for East’s success over the last two seasons and resulted in an 18-2 combined record. A standout two-way lineman, Pela cleared out defenders for the Cougars’ running back, a corps that produced over 2,000 yards and 35 touchdowns this season. The Central Connecticut State-bound Pela also had 12.5 sacks on defense.
AP: Ibn Muhammad, Camden
Whatever the assignment, the senior delivered big time for the state Group 2 champion Panthers. As a wide receiver, Muhammad caught 56 passes for 924 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had at least one TD grab in his final seven games, including one in the state final. The Syracuse-bound Muhammad rushed for two scores and returned a kickoff for another. He also had nine sacks on defense.
AP: Anthony Tirico, Seneca
One of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the Garden State, the junior posted his third straight 1,000-yard passing season and added his first 1,000-yard rushing season this fall. Tirico threw for 1,660 yards and 17 touchdowns while adding 1,560 yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground. He even caught a touchdown pass this season. Tirico has 82 total touchdowns in his career.
AP: Frenchmon Bethea, Cedar Creek
When the lights of the postseason got brighter, this senior put on an incredible show, helping lead the Pirates to the state Group 3 championship. The 6-foot, 175-pounder threw for 1,827 yards and 24 touchdowns while adding 942 yards and seven TDs on the ground. His game-winning touchdown throw in Mainland in the sectional final was one of South Jersey’s Plays of the Year. The Stoney Brook-bound Bethea also had six interceptions, including two pick-6s, on defense.
AP: NaKeem Powell, Winslow
The workhorse of the Eagles’ backfield, Powell rushed for 927 yards and 11 touchdowns for the state Group 4 champions. The senior rushed for 490 yards in five postseason games, including 86 in the state final. He caught 26 passes for 250 yards and two scores while his only pass attempt for the season went for a 56-yard TD.
K: Luke Sheets, Washington Township
The senior was one of the top kickers in the Garden State booted 9 of 10 field goals and 62 of 66 extra points for the state Group 5 champions. His 89 kicking points rank second in South Jersey history, one off the record. He hit two field goals from 45 and 46 yards.
