Linemen like
Quenton Nelson don't come around New Jersey too often.

The
Red Bank Catholic (N.J.) senior is one of the top players to emerge on the offensive line in the Garden State since current San Francisco 49ers tackle Anthony Davis.
Over the past season, Nelson dominated Shore Conference defensive linemen, helping Red Bank Catholic go undefeated in the regular season.
When playoffs rolled around, Nelson more than held his own against the vaunted defense of St. Joseph Regional.
Nelson rarely left the field. When Red Bank Catholic was on defense, Nelson played on the defensive line, recording 61 tackles and three sacks.
Rather than let the recruiting process drag on, Nelson put an end to it early when he chose Notre Dame over Ohio State.
Nelson is the
No. 6 recruit at the offensive tackle position according to 247Sports. He also checks in as the No. 65 recruit overall.
