Beyond the team’s record, several Falcons earned recognition in the NJIC Meadowlands All-Division selections. These honors reflect the talent and effort across the roster:
Jayden Gatyas – First Team Offense (Wide Receiver)
Nick Vitiello – First Team Offense
Dylan Cerciello – First Team Defense (Defensive Back)
Sal Zuccaro – Second Team Defense (Defensive Lineman)
Colin Taylor – Honorable Mention
TJ Filan – Honorable Mention
These accolades highlight the balance of skill on both sides of the ball, with Saddle Brook players recognized for their contributions in offense, defense, and overall team impact. Cerciello’s dual recognition as both a First Team defensive back and a Player of the Week on offense underscores his versatility and importance to the Falcons’ success. Vitiello’s consistency, Gatyas’s playmaking ability, and Zuccaro’s strength in the trenches added depth, while Taylor and Filan provided valuable contributions that did not go unnoticed.
Although the Falcons did not capture a division win, the season’s final weeks and the individual honors earned by key players show a program moving in the right direction. The combination of strong leadership, perseverance through adversity, and recognition at the divisional level provides a foundation for optimism. With returning talent and the lessons learned from this year’s challenges, Saddle Brook football looks forward to building on its progress and continuing to grow in the seasons ahead.
