Northeast Philly Shines Nationally, Once Again
In the long history and deep annals of Philadelphia’s Northeast High School, the NFL has come calling before.
Previous graduates Charles Wray and Brent Grimes both attended the school and went on to play in the NFL.
Not far away — Northeast High School, which closed in 2010, was home to Bucko Kilroy, who will go into the Eagles Hall of Fame this November.
Now, Northeast High School can claim to be the home of high school success for yet another rising star.
Texas A&M Football was #6 in the country. Cornerback Tyreek Chapell is now inside that number after marquee wins this weekend against beating Mississippi St. yesterday and previously beating Notre Dame and the Fighting Irish in South Bend two weeks ago to propel the program to #5 in the country and a perfect 5–0 for the Aggies Program in 2025.
Designated as a (consensus) three-star recruit by major media outlets (247 Sports, Rivals, and ESPN), Chapell allowed a mere two completions against him out of 41 attempts as a junior at Northeast High School in 2019. As a Sophomore, Chapell was in the top ten in the SEC in pass breakups.
Now Chapell is looking to carry his dominant coverage that started at Northeast High School to the College Football Playoff — and possibly — to the NFL.
