“Laser” Luke Yankowy is a QB technician out of Pennsylvania who leads the Bethlehem Steelers with maturity, confidence, and high-level field awareness. Luke is a true gamer and the X-factor for his team—he commands the pocket with poise, never panics under pressure, and gets the ball out on time. His game is built on quick processing, smart decision-making, and a willingness to let his playmakers work, which consistently opens up intermediate and deep passing lanes.
Against zone coverage, Luke is dangerous. He has a knack for dropping laser-accurate throws into tight windows, consistently punishing defenses that leave soft spots in coverage. When pressure breaks down the pocket, he becomes even more of a problem—using his mobility to evade defenders, extend plays, and deliver strikes on the run. Whether rolling out or standing tall in the pocket, his mechanics, footwork, and throwing motion show he’s been polished for years.
While Luke possesses many of the traits coaches want in a quarterback, there are still areas for growth. The most notable is his size. At 5’4” and 105 pounds entering eighth grade, projecting him to the next level raises questions about visibility over the line and schematic limitations. Offenses may need to emphasize rollouts, sprint-outs, and quick-game concepts early on.
Another factor is age and developmental timeline. As a young athlete about to enter high school, this is one of the rare cases where reclassifying could provide significant benefits. An additional year of growth and physical maturity would elevate his long-term trajectory and unlock the full version of his skill set.
One thing is certain—once Luke hits his growth spurt, it’s going to be a nightmare for opposing defenses. He already possesses the intelligence, accuracy, mobility, and competitive nature that defensive coordinators fear. As he continues to rise, keep your eyes on Luke Yankowy as he solidifies himself as one of Pennsylvania’s premier quarterback prospects

Prospect Report: Royce Archer
Stars: ★★★★
Class: 2031
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 165 lbs
Division: 12U
Team: Holy Family Middle School
State: Ohio
Position: TE / OLB

Royce Archer is a young playmaker out of Ohio who currently suits up for Holy Family Middle School, and he’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about prospects in the Class of 2031. Standing at an impressive 5’11” and 165 pounds as a seventh grader, Royce already has the frame of a future high-school standout, with plenty of room to pack on even more muscle as he matures.
What immediately jumps off the screen is his elite speed and acceleration. Royce is the type of athlete who can turn a simple out route into a house call—one move, one missed tackle, and he’s hitting the jets for six. He’s like a Rolls Royce with a Hemi in it—smooth, powerful, and flat-out fast.
A deeper look into his background makes his on-field explosiveness make perfect sense. Royce is a decorated youth track athlete, earning championship honors in the 100m, 200m, and 4×100 relay. He holds a confirmed laser-timed 4.78 and a 12.1 PR in the 100m, which is blazing speed for a seventh grader. That track pedigree shows every time he touches the field.
Offensively, he’s listed as a tight end, but he’s truly an X-factor. Royce lines up all over the formation—out wide, in the slot, and even in the backfield as a running back. His rare combination of size and elite track speed allows him to effortlessly outrun contain, erase pursuit angles, and punish defenses when he finds a seam.
Defensively, Royce is just as dominant. As an outside linebacker, he’s a high-motor tackling machine who diagnoses plays quickly and closes space violently. He delivers clean, explosive collisions and has an uncanny knack for creating turnovers. Whether he’s chasing down a runner from behind or meeting the ball carrier head-on, Royce consistently finds ways to get his hands on the ball. His awareness and ability to attack poor ball security make him a constant threat to force fumbles.
With his dedication to training, natural athletic gifts, and relentless drive to improve, Royce Archer is a rising national prospect—not just one to watch in Ohio, but a name that will be buzzing on the national scene for years to come.
Keep your eyes on Royce. His ceiling is sky-high, and he’s just getting started.
Michael Frye
Stars: 3.5
Class of: 2031
Height: 5’5”
Weight: 150 lbs
Division: MS
Team: John Adams Middle School Falcons
State: WV
Position: OT / DT

Michael Frye is a four-year RNR alumni, and throughout that time we’ve had the opportunity to watch his development firsthand. From the moment he stepped onto the field at our NC Combine, it was clear he was different. Despite being undersized even back then, Michael consistently overpowered bigger and older linemen using advanced technique and a level of preparation that stood out.
He embodies the definition of a blue-collar athlete—one who leans on hard work, fundamentals, and relentlessness to shape his game. Michael spent years anchoring the offensive line at center, where he was tasked with being the quarterback of the trenches. His football IQ was always evident. Recently, he’s transitioned to offensive tackle, and the move has allowed his athleticism and technique to shine even brighter.
His footwork is arguably his greatest asset. He stays square, recovers quickly when a defender gets an early step, and uses efficient steps to maintain leverage and positioning. Combine that with his growing strength—fueled by consistent time in the gym—and he’s become a difficult matchup for most edge rushers. Once Michael gets his hands locked in, defenders struggle to disengage.
The one challenge he continues to face is his size. Standing at 5’5” and 150 pounds, he holds his own against typical middle-school defenders, but the much larger athletes can give him problems. This past summer at the Top Dog Showcase at Syracuse University, his hand placement and footwork were on full display, but some of the bigger defensive linemen made things tougher for him.
Still, Michael’s commitment to the grind sets him apart. His work ethic, technique, and drive to improve are unquestioned. And if he’s blessed with a growth spurt in the coming years, he has the potential to become a serious problem for anyone lining up across from him.
Michael Frye is what every coach wants in a lineman—disciplined, tough, coachable, and relentless. His future is bright.
