The teams are taking the field. Kickoff coming soon!

Freshman WR Jett Harrison, son of Marvin and brother of Marvin Jr., made his high school football debut, catching four passes for 57 yards.

Erasmus Hall has a huge threat in the vertical passing game with 6-foot-4 senior Lyrick Samuel, who's committed to Penn State.

The Dutchmen's defense is anchored by three-star senior DE Caden Brown (Syracuse commit) and three-star senior DT Aaris Bethea (Rutgers commit).
