A sleeper Tight End for college to keep an eye on is Maddox Carbucci, a Class of 2026 senior currently at Morris Jeff High School's new football program located in the New Orleans area. He is also the team’s 2^nd team Defensive End, and plays Linebacker and Defensive Tackle. If the team sustains any injuries, he can play those spots too. Maddox is currently 6-3 in height and weighs 190 pounds, with a ton of room to fill out to be 220 pounds or better easily in another year. He started lifting weights just one year ago and already can Clean 225 pounds and Squats Max 410 pounds, one of the best on the team.

Maddox also participates in Baseball and intends to play Basketball for Jeff Morris High School this year, also. His family is from the Dominican Republic, and Baseball has always been the most favored sport in the family. He plans to have a great senior year in baseball. Maddox's mom played High School Soccer at Robert E Lee High School in Baton Rouge, now called Liberty High School. His Grandmother ran Track and was pretty good back in the day. Maddox currently has a GPA in the classroom of 3.3.

This is a kid that current Head Coach Bill Conides of Morris Jeff High School spoke highly of to me over the Summer and thinks that once he gets 2 more years in the weight room could become a good player for several colleges one day. I’ve known Bill since his days at Denham Springs High School as the head coach a few years ago. He also coached QB Myles Brennan at St.Stanislaus High School in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.

I first noticed Maddox in my weightlifting class; I could tell right away that this was a kid who wanted to get bigger, faster, and stronger. This is also a kid who takes all the advanced courses(We call it the Diploma Program in an IB school, which means International Baccalaureate, in the gifted and talented program the school offers). It also helped that this kid had the size to play Tight End. So after months of convincing, we were able to convince him to come out in the Spring. From the start, he was a natural at the Tight End position. I’m absolutely thrilled that he was a natural at the Tight End position.I’m absolutely thrilled that he decided to play football and can only hope that the lessons he learned while playing here will help him in some way, in his next course of life said Head Coach Bill Conides Morris Jeff High School.”

Quotes from Maddox Carbuccia, Jeff Morris, High School.

"I started playing sports when I was very young.  I remember playing soccer as a young kid, but my first real sport was Baseball, which I think I started when I was 7 or 8 years old. As for football, this is my 1^st year playing real ball with pads. Before this I had played 1 season of Flag football in the 8^th grade for my middle school called Homer Plessy Middle School. So my journey as a football player kinda just started, and what’s crazy is I was reluctant to play, but I’m grateful to Coach Conides and Coach G for telling me to play. Because I think football has not just made me a better Athlete but a better person overall.

I love many things about Morris Jeff High School. Academically, as part of the full IB program,, I’ve had a very positive experience and a helpful community. I think lots of our teachers have done a good job creating a very welcoming and prosperous environment. As far as being a part of a new football program, I think it’s a very unique experience, because everybody is in a learning space of what works and what doesn’t. But I think one of the best things about being a new program is the ambition, so to speak, of our coaches and players, because we don’t have a lot of the same things as other football programs. Like during Summer workouts, hitting trash cans because we don’t have football dummies to practice on, or having to walk nearly a mile to the practice field. Things like that created a desire to prove ourselves as a serious program.

I love playing football, but playing college sports seems never to be in the cards unless I get some football offers.  I plan on going to college in Madrid, Spain, for Mechanical Engineering, and then after obtaining EU citizenship, working on the Race Track."
