In a move that could shake up the New England prep school football landscape, one of Massachusetts' top running backs is taking his talents to a new field for the 2026 season. Jordan Toribio, a dynamic tailback who rushed for over 1,400 yards and 18 touchdowns last year, announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he is transferring from St. John's Preparatory School in Danvers to Milton Academy—and reclassifying to the class of 2028.

Toribio's announcement marks a significant shift for the star player, who helped lead St. John's Prep to the MIAA Division I Super Bowl state championship game in 2025. Over 158 carries, he racked up impressive numbers that made him one of the most sought-after backs in the Bay State. "Thank you to everyone at St. John's Prep for the last 2 years and the opportunities you gave me," Toribio wrote. "With that being said I am excited to announce that I will be attending Milton Academy next year."

Now, Toribio is heading to the ultra-competitive NEPSAC league, where Milton Academy finished the 2025 season with a strong 7-2 record and ranked No. 28 in the final Massachusetts High School Football Massey Rankings. The Mustangs' only two losses came against Buckingham Browne & Nichols and Tabor Academy, setting the stage for Toribio to make an immediate impact as they aim for even greater heights.
