As part of our daily coverage of New Jersey high school football, we will shine the spotlight on some of the top performances in the North Jersey Interscholastic League each week
On Tuesdays, we will highlight 10 players who turned in noteworthy efforts on offense from the previous weekend. And on Wednesdays, we’ll turn to those on the defensive side.
Take a look below at our selections for NJIC Offensive Players of the Week from opening weekend.
Jonah Carbon, Pompton Lakes, Sr., WR
In a losing effort to Lakeland, Carbon kept the Cardinals’ offense humming. He reeled in three receiving touchdowns, totaling 11 catches for 161 yards. He also recorded four tackles on defense and 77 kick return yards.
Will Dell’Aglio, Waldwick-Midland Park, So., QB
In his first career varsity start, Dell’Aglio led the Warriors to a 49-41 home win over Vernon, a Super Football Conference team. He totaled four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing) and 337 yards (295 passing, 42 rushing). His passing touchdowns went 69 and 46 yards, finding JJ Daniello and Rocco Marquis in the open field.
Ethan Diaz, Butler, Jr., RB
Diaz transferred into Butler from DePaul and made his Bulldog debut in a thunderous way in his team’s 35-7 win over Saddle Brook on Thursday at home. Diaz concluded the night with 123 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries.
Jordanny Rodriguez, Lodi, Jr., RB
Rodriguez put up big numbers in Lodi’s 22-6 win over Weehawken at home on Thursday. The junior compiled 203 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries to go with seven tackles and one tackle for loss on defense.
Quinn Weber, Rutherford, Jr., TE
In a huge 26-20 come-from-behind win against Bernards, Weber scored the game-winning touchdown for the Bulldogs. With under two minutes remaining, quarterback Myles Balchan found Weber in the end zone, where he jumped while fading backwards for the grab. Weber amassed 95 yards with eight catches, which put him over 600 receiving yards for his career. He was also key on defense and logged a dozen tackles.
