East Coast Elite 7v7: Coaches talk about their MVPs

This is the time of the year that I have time to go out and evaluate hundreds of prospects in person. Recently, I attended the East Coast Elite 7v7 powered by SWAG 7v7 and All State Preps. I didn’t get to see every single player perform. Therefore, I decided to ask the coaches who their MVP’s were for the weekend. Some coaches went a step further and dropped some additional information on their players. I’ll be posting those scouting reports in the upcoming weeks. <strong>NIKE ELITE COACH'S REPORT - PENNSYLVANIA</strong> <div><strong>Offensive MVP: 2023 QB - [player_tooltip player_id="64005" first="Cadin" last="Olsen"] /Quarterback/2023/Armstrong</strong></div> <div>As usual had a great tournament making a lot of spectacular throws. 15 years old kid who continues to dominate in the 18u division. 6’4 and 210 pound gunslinger is a special talent.</div> <div></div> <div><strong>Defensive MVP: Hunter Hodges/Cornerback/2022/Erie McDowell 2022 CB</strong></div> <div>He had four interceptions and numerous pass breakups.
