Texas A&M OL pledge Chase Bisontis named New Jersey offensive player of the year

Texas A&M offensive line commit Chase Bisontis has long been considered one of the nation’s top prospects at his position. On3 ranks Bisontis as the No. 3 interior offensive lineman in the 2023 class, which brings him plenty of attention and praise.

However, even with prospects of his talent and ranking, it is rare that offensive lineman are given MVP, player of the year, or most outstanding player awards. But, Bisontis beat those odds as NJ.com has named Bisontis as the New Jersey offensive play of the year.

The award is fitting as Bisontis is the consensus No. 1 prospect in the state.

Bisontis anchored an offensive line that helped produce an elite offense, producing just over 5,000 total yards. The Don Bosco Prep offense finished the season with 2,037 passing yards and 2,988 rushing yards.
