Dayzon Evans is a dependable, well-rounded playmaker whose game is built on efficiency, vision, and instincts. Operating with advanced patience in the backfield, he allows blocks to develop naturally before making sharp, decisive cuts—consistently uncovering running lanes others overlook.
At the second level, his controlled footwork and timing make him a problem in space, creating missed tackles and extending plays. He has enough burst to win the edge against linebackers and adds another layer to his game as a receiving threat out of the backfield, making him a true multi-dimensional weapon.
We evaluated Dayzon in person at the D1Nation x RNR Top 100 Combine in Arizona this past January. His performance earned a 3-star rating, but his game film showcased a higher ceiling.
Strengths
• High-level vision and decision-making in the run game
• Consistent production regardless of size
• Versatility across offense and special teams
• Proven ability to compete in all-star environments vs top talent
Development Focus
• Continue adding size and strength to enhance durability
• Increase exposure against top-tier weekly competition
Projection
Dayzon tracks as a versatile offensive weapon capable of impacting the game in multiple phases. As his physical development catches up with his natural instincts and field awareness, his ceiling continues to rise.

Apollo Neloms is a talented young dual-threat QB from the Heir Academy 9U squad out of Washington. We first got the opportunity to see him at the D1xRNR National Combine, where he put together an impressive performance. Apollo ran a 6.06 40-yard dash, posted a 5.56 shuttle, and recorded a 79-inch broad jump—strong numbers for a quarterback in the 9U division.
During positional work and 1v1s, Apollo showed the ability to deliver several pinpoint passes, impressing our scouts with both his arm talent and mechanics. He had already earned his invite to the Super Showcase prior to the combine, but his performance only confirmed why he deserved to be there.
At the showcase, we got to see Apollo begin to gel with teammates from across the country during practice, showing good leadership and command for a young quarterback. In the scrimmage, he delivered several well-placed passes that unfortunately resulted in drops, but his accuracy and ball placement were still evident on tape. The same trend continued during the game action, where flashes of his ability to place the football stood out.
One area we’d like to see Apollo continue to develop is game management and patience in the passing game. At times he looked to win the game with the deep ball, targeting downfield shots frequently. As he continues to develop, working the short and intermediate passing game will naturally open up those deep opportunities.
With his current skill set, competitive drive, and natural talent, Apollo Neloms has a lot of upside and is definitely a young QB to keep an eye on in the coming years.
