Name: Dominic Lewis
Class: 2029
Position: MLB
Skinny:
Domonic is a very intelligent playmaker. On defense he’s an elite block shedder who tracks the ball carrier with the best of them. His tackle pursuit is outstanding, leaving no room for cut back lanes for the runner. He’s involved in every tackle. I love his versatility as well. At TE, his hands are elite. He had a beautiful catch for a touchdown during the Supershowcase game on a seam route. He’s dynamic and can impact the game from multiple levels.
Name: Braelon Croom
Class: 2032
Position: MLB
Skinny:
Braelon is as tough as nails at the MLB position. You don’t want to meet him in the hole because he packs a punch with his hit power. His tackle technique is solid, he gets good leverage and drives his feet to finish on every play. Braelon has quick feet as well, which helps him to get to the ball carrier quick. I like his skillset.
Name: Tyler Harrison
Class: 2029
Position: QB
Skinny:
Tyler is a gamer, his confidence is contagious to his teammates and his coaching staff. He’s lethal when he gets in rhythm, picking apart defenses in zone and in man coverage. His ball placement is elite, he excells at placing it back shoulder and up top to where his recievers can get to the ball. In the Supershowcase game, Tyler was spreading the wealth to multiple targets. Showcasing his ability to orchestrate an offense.
Name: Zayden Epps
Class: 2032
Position: ATH
Skinny:
Zayden is the perfect mix of power and speed. He has elite instincts that put him in. The right place at the right time. At RB, he’s a very physical runner, punishing would be tacklers near and far. He’s quick, once Zayden sees a lane he attacks, and fast. Once he gets to the open field, he has the breakaway speed to take it the distance. On defense, he’s an elite tackler. Zayden was in on every tackle and made some key stops for his team during the Supershowcase game.
Name: Jeffrey Hampton
Class: 2033
Position: OG
Skinny:
Jeffrey is a force up front on the O-line. He’s a power blocker with brut strength. Bring the syrup, he’ll bring the pancakes. In his run sets, he’s very physical with his hands. He drives his feet and generates a lot of power. In his pass sets, Jeffrey can hold his own. He’s a finisher, punishing defenders down after down.
Name: Keyzelle Thomas
Class: 2031
Position: RB
Skinny:
Keyzelle is one of my favorite RBs to watch. He’s a gifted power back that runs extremely hard. He gets better as his carries increase, some may classify this kind of RB as a workhorse. He’s a physical force, he reminds me of a prime Adrian Peterson. Keyzelle is quick, using his long stride to pick up ground. He’s fast, with the breakaway speed to capitalize in the open field. He has excellent vision, and knows where his cutback lanes are on each play. Keyzelle also has a mean stiff arm, so if a defender thinks about getting close…..good luck.
Name: Nyko Gilyard
Class: 2032
Position: RB
Skinny:
Nyko is playmaker that keeps the crowd on their feet. He’s one of those guys that can make a major impact at any skill position on the field. I love his route running, he’s excellent at creating space and getting off the line. Pressing him won’t work. Nyko has quick feet which allows him to gain extra yardage in space. Nyko is a sure handed catcher. Prior to the Supershowcase game, he caught every pass that was thrown his way during our 1 v 1 sessions. His ability to move all over the field makes Nyko a dangerous weapon for any offense.
Name: Elijah Thomas
Class: 2032
Position: QB
Skinny:
Elijah is polished for his age. He’s a dual threat QB that makes things happen. He’s deadly accurate in the short to intermediate parts of field. I love how he commands the line of scrimmage. He does exceptionally well with the playaction game. His fakes are outstanding, making defenders believe that he handed the ball off, then he throws a dime over the top. On the ground, Elijah is a magician. Now you see him, now you don’t.
Name: Noah Roberts
Class: 2031
Position: RB
Skinny:
Where do I begin? If there was a standard to follow for all RBs in this class, Noah would be the standard. He’s one half of one of the greatest tandems ever seen in youth football. Noah is in elite company, being one of few student athletes that can effectively take over a game. At RB, he’s extremely explosive and his quick first step gives him the edge over the defense. His vision is elite, allowing him to see what’s coming next. Noah has no issue running up the middle either. I love how patient Noah is with his blockers, allowing them to lead the way. He has excellent agility and control. Noah can stop on a dime, change direction, all without sacrificing speed. He took a handoff 70 yards to pay dirt and made it look easy during the Supershowcase game. Giving reason to why he’s a top player. On defense, Noah has excellent instincts. He’s a lock down CB that loves to create turnovers. His hands are elite as well. Noah proves once again why he’s top notch by getting 2 interceptions, taking one of them to the house for a pick six. This young man absolutely amazing.
Name: Xavion Glenn
Class: 2031
Position: ATH
Skinny:
Only few can dawn the X on their chest. It presents a responsibility and a standard that most shy away from. Xavion is top dawg, accepting this honor and consistently proving why he’s the number one player in his class. He’s the other half of one of the greatest tandems in all of youth football since it’s inception. His instincts and awareness are the best I’ve ever witnessed. On offense, he’s a home run hitter. His athleticism is scary good. He’s mastered the art of one cut and go, and getting up field. Two skills that are vital to a RBs longevity. Xavion is the perfect mix of a scat back and a power back. It’s truly pick your poison, he can run around his defenders and through them. On defense, he’s a drive stopper. From his safety spot, he doesn’t allow any catches. Xavion is a ball hawk, unafraid to separate the ball from the reciever. Once he steps down to the tackle box, he plays sideline to sideline exceptionally well. Xavion doesn’t miss tackles and delivers lethal hit power behind his pads. This is one player that will always impact the game in major ways.
Name: Kaleb McIntyre
Class: 2027
Position: OLB
Skinny:
Kaleb is a dynamic OLB. His foot quickness allows him to play sideline to sideline. His tackle pursuit is exceptional, leading him directly to the ball carrier. What I love is how physical he is, it’s a me or you mindset. It takes guts and glory to battle in the trenches with the linemen. Kaleb also packs a powerful punch when he tackles. When he executes a blitz, QBs feel the ground get hot. Kaleb creates the most QB pressures from his OLB position. He has the potential to be extremely good.
Name: Keagan Lawson
Class: 2027
Position: OT
Skinny:
Keagan is very physical in his run sets, clearing lanes for his runners. He keeps a low base that allows him to explode through the defensive player in his path. He’s strong with his hands as well, placing them in the correct position to gain control of his defender. In his pass sets, Keagan is an agile OT. His quick feet allow him to stay in front of speed rushers and his strength allows him to stand his ground against power rushers. I love his potential and am excited to see how Keagan develops.
Name: Makoa Titialii
Class: 2030
Position: DT
Skinny:
Makoa is dominant on the Frontline. He’s slated as a DT but played DE in the Supershowcase game. He’s a power rusher with active hands. He’s very physical, overpowering his opponents. This young man is a hitstick highlight waiting to happen. Makoa had a QB sack and a ton of QB pressures. He also racked up a lot of tackles in the Supershowcase game.
