2026 four-star cornerback Jordan Thomas commits to Ohio State
Class of 2026 four-star cornerback Jordan Thomas has made his commitment decision. Thomas pledged to Ohio State on Monday at a ceremony at Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, New Jersey. Thomas garnered more than 40 scholarship offers throughout his recruitment. He choose the Buckeyes over fellow finalists Auburn, Michigan, Notre Dame and Texas A&M. Advertisement He took unofficial visits to each of his finalists. He was most recently at Ohio State on April 6. He also took a visit to Columbus in March. The only official visit Thomas will take is to Ohio State, according to his agent Latish Kinsler. At Ohio State, Thomas will reunite with his former teammate at Bergen Catholic, Quincy Porter, a four-star signee for the Buckeyes in the 2025 class.

Thomas is physical, possesses impressive ball skills, has sound technique in pass coverage, is a willing tackler in run support and delivers strong hits. He also plays wide receiver for the Crusaders. Advertisement He is a Navy All-American Bowl selection. Thomas has won three state championships with Bergen Catholic, including most recently in 2024, as he helped lead the Crusaders to the program's fourth consecutive championship with a win over Don Bosco Prep in the Non-Public A state title game. In addition to his finalists, Thomas received scholarship offers from Alabama, Boston College, Cincinnati, Duke, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Illinois, Maryland, Miami (FL.), Michigan State, Minnesota, North Carolina, Northwestern, Oregon, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, South Carolina, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas, USC, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin and others. Thomas is represented by Kinsler, who is the president of football for LifeStyle Sports Agency. With Thomas now in the fold, Ohio State's 2026 recruiting class now includes 13 total commitments.

Former Bergen Catholic quarterback Steve Angeli transfers to Syracuse football
Former state-champion Bergen Catholic quarterback Steve Angeli is transferring to Syracuse, where he'll be reunited with another prominent Bergen Catholic name. Nunzio Campanile, who coached the Bergen Catholic program from 2010-17 and won a state title in his final season at the helm, is the Orange's quarterbacks coach. The head coach is Fran Brown, a former Camden High School star who coached at Paul VI in 2010 before jumping to the college ranks. Advertisement Angeli, who led the Crusaders to the Non-Public A state championship back in 2021, spent the first three years of his college career as the backup QB at Notre Dame. He announced last week that he was entering the transfer portal. Angeli announced his transfer to Syracuse on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday night. His most notable moment at Notre Dame came in last year's Orange Bowl when he completed 6 of 7 passes for 44 yards, leading the Fighting Irish into the red zone to kick a 41-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. Those were the first points of the game for Notre Dame, which came back in the second half to beat Penn State, 27-24, and advance to the national championship game. Advertisement Angeli's only college start came in the 2023 Sun Bowl, when he completed 15 of 19 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns as Notre Dame beat Oregon State, 40-8. Angeli should contend for the starting job at Syracuse. Last year's starter, Kyle McCord, is expected to be selected in the NFL Draft later this week.
