Notes on new players:
Adam Shovlin DE -- Played at the varsity level for five years at three different high schools (Pittston Area, St. Thomas More, The Lawrenceville School). Seems like a football nomad that will hit the portal pretty quickly if he gets the notion.

MICKEY VACCARELLO OLB -- Amassed over 200 tackles during his final two seasons with 21 sacks and a pair of interceptions returned for a touchdown…compiled 22 tackles for loss. "Yo Mickey!"

JONANTHONY HALL WR -- Totaled 2,625 receiving yards on 163 receptions, recording 23 receiving touchdowns and 28 total touchdowns. A unanimous four-star recruit, ranked as a top-50 national wide receiver recruit by 247Sports, on3 and ESPN. The No. 1 wide receiver recruit in Indiana by ESPN and on3.
