In early March, the landscape of high school football reveals that New England has become a key destination for players from both the local area and across the country who are opting for a post-graduate year, a standard transfer, or a transfer/reclassification to a lower grade at a new institution. Scouting New England has received notifications from several players about their plans to switch schools. In this report, I will highlight a number of players who have confirmed their intentions to transfer to a different school for the fall 2026 season. The report will also feature a new name player we recently evaluated.
| Noah Harris | New Hamnpshire | 2028 | 6’3 | 177 | DB/WR | Transfer from Dickerson High School NY to Phillips Exter NH for fall 2026 |
Noah Harris, a promising 2028 prospect from New Hampshire, is making waves as a versatile DB/WR. Standing tall at 6’3″ and weighing 177 pounds, he brings a strong physical presence to the field. With plans to transfer from Dickerson High School in New York to Phillips Exeter Academy for the fall of 2026, he’s ready to showcase his skills in a new environment.
In his highlight film, Noah’s strengths as a defensive back truly shine. He excels in man coverage, demonstrating the ability to closely shadow receivers. His anticipation and sharp breaks on the ball are impressive, making him a formidable opponent for any wideout. With his excellent size and physicality, he proves capable of handling bigger receivers and contributes significantly as a tackler against the run.
Furthermore, Harris doesn’t shy away from special teams. His hustle in getting downfield during kick coverage highlights his work ethic and commitment to the game. While he is physically adept, refining his hand techniques at the line of scrimmage will be crucial for him to disrupt routes more effectively.
Having also played as a wide receiver, Noah carries valuable insight that may bolster his defensive awareness. If he continues to hone his skills in both man and zone techniques, he is poised for a standout season at Phillips Exeter. His potential is undeniable, and with a few adjustments, he could solidify his status among the top players in the New England class of 2028. We’re excited to see how he develops in the upcoming season, with strong expectations for his performance and growth.
| Gregory Kreml | New Hampshire | 2028 | 6’7 | 290 | OL | Transfering from Lincoln Sudbury to Phillips Exeter Nh for fall 2026 |
I’m excited to introduce Gregory Kreml, a promising offensive lineman from New Hampshire, class of 2028. Standing tall at 6’7″ and weighing in at 290 pounds, Gregory has an impressive physical presence that sets him apart on the field. After spending the 2025 season at Lincoln-Sudbury High School, he’s making a strategic move by transferring to Phillips Exeter Academy for the fall of 2026.
In the highlight film I reviewed, Gregory showcased his dominant run-blocking abilities, often overpowering smaller defenders. His size and strength make him a formidable presence in the trenches. However, to elevate his game, he must focus on improving his pad level when blocking, which will help him gain better leverage in one-on-one situations.
In pass protection, Gregory displayed commendable resilience, holding his own against quicker opponents. His ability to adapt is crucial, and although he has areas to work on—especially in quickness and footwork—there’s no doubt he possesses the potential to thrive as he gains experience. The move to Phillips Exeter Academy will provide him with the opportunity to compete against larger and more skilled players, which should further enhance his development.
With his drive and solid skill set, Gregory Kreml is certainly a player to watch in the New England class of 2028. I look forward to seeing how he continues to refine his abilities and make his mark in the upcoming season with Scouting New England during the next ranking update.

Landon Husereau is a standout quarterback from Rhode Island who has gained significant attention with his impressive highlight film. Standing at 6’1″ and weighing 200 pounds, Husereau is transferring from Westerly High School RI to Phillips Andover Academy NH for the fall of 2026, where he is expected to further develop his skills in a more competitive environment. His communication with top programs such as Syracuse, Boston College, URI, and Brown reflects his rising profile in the recruitment landscape.
As a freshman, Husereau was selected as a Second Team All-State player, and he elevated his game to become a First Team All-State honoree as a sophomore. His junior season was nothing short of remarkable; he led the Bulldogs to their first Super Bowl title in over two decades, showcasing his unique playing style that has set him apart in Rhode Island football history. He threw for an impressive 2,829 yards and set a state record with 40 touchdown passes in a single season while also becoming Rhode Island’s all-time leading touchdown passer with 90 career TDs.
His accuracy as a passer, especially under pressure, is noteworthy, though he did face some average competition in the past. While he possesses long strides that allow him to evade defenders, there is room for improvement in his speed. Notably, on April 6, 2026, Husereau received a verbal offer from Brown, further solidifying his status as one of the top talents in the New England class of 2028. Given his trajectory, it’s easy to see why he will be included in the upcoming Scouting New England ranking update.

Malik Drouin is an impressive budding talent in the world of high school football, currently making waves in the New England class of 2028. Standing tall at 6’7″ and weighing in at 305 pounds, Malik is a force on the offensive line. He recently announced his intentions to transfer from Team Alberta in Edmonton, AB, to Phillips Exeter Academy, where he’s poised to further hone his skills starting in the fall of 2026.

To maximize his potential, regular training with an offensive line specialist is highly recommended. Incorporating weekly yoga sessions could also enhance his flexibility and stability. Furthermore, ongoing weight room development is essential for building on his current strength. To identify specific areas for improvement, a combine test should be considered during the off-season to optimize his training.
Recently, Malik earned a verbal offer from UConn on April 20, 2026, affirming his growing reputation as a premier offensive lineman. His journey is just beginning, and with continued dedication, the future looks bright for Malik Drouin in football.
| Julian Mcewen | Maine | 2028 | 6′ 1″ | 180 | WR, DB | St Pauls School NH. |
New Player Introduction Report: Julian McEwen
I recently had the opportunity to review the highlight film of Julian McEwen, a promising athlete from St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire, slated to graduate in 2028. Standing at 6’1″ and weighing 180 pounds, McEwen showcases impressive versatility, excelling as both a wide receiver and defensive back.
One of Julian’s standout qualities is his rapid release off the line of scrimmage, which enables him to effectively sell go routes. His ability to make precise cuts in and out of breaks is a testament to his agility, allowing him to create separation from defenders. Additionally, Julian demonstrates reliable hands, consistently catching passes, which is crucial for his position. While he may rely more on quickness than straight-line speed, this attribute gives him an edge in short-yardage situations.
However, as with any athlete on the rise, there are areas for improvement. McEwen needs to enhance his consistency in route running, particularly when it comes to sinking his hips and making explosive breaks. This skill is paramount in maximizing his effectiveness on the field.
To further develop his game, I recommend continued on-field skill training with a wide receiver specialist to refine his technique. Furthermore, a dedicated focus on strength and conditioning in the weight room will support his overall athletic development. To gauge his potential more accurately, Julian should consider participating in combine testing during the off-season to pinpoint specific areas of growth.
As a rising star in the New England class of 2028, Julian McEwen shows immense promise, and with the right training, he has the potential to become a impact talent in the region.
