University of Cincinnati Elite Showcase Thursday’s Showcase was a great opportunity for some Pass Catchers to take advantage of all the Big Arm talent. There were a few who really stood out as the creme of the Crop!   [player_tooltip player_id="34408" first="Will" last="Futhey"] WR, 6’5 200. Posted 4.8 40yd Dash. ℅ 22 Piketon Oh, Waverly Highschool. Has Good Release Technique. Route Running is solid. Understands positioning and uses his frame to ‘Box Out’ defenders. Competitive Natured. Has Long Arms to make Over the Shoulder Catches look routing. Would like to see him Highpoint football more consistently. Versatile Player, Has Played WR/TE/DE.   Jakob “JD” Serwatka WR, Brunswick Oh, Brunswick Highschool. ℅ 22. 6’3 190. Posted 4.59 40yd Dash. GPA 3.9. Size, Speed Combo Athlete. Has Natural Hands to absorb the Football on Catches. Really Excels at Highpointing the ball! Also, has good body control to adjust to errant throws. JD really caught my attention with his tracking ability and In line Speed. One to watch going forward.   Cameron Patterson WR, Latonia Ky, Scott Highschool. ℅ 22. 6’4 ½. 213 lbs. Posted 4.78 40 yd Dash. Broad Jump 9’3. Shuttle 4.47. Cameron is the Prototype Big Receiver! A true #1. His Size jumps out at you immediately. He has a nice Size, Speed Combination. He excels at Tracking the Deep Ball and Then, Out “Rebounding” the defender! Also, Plays Center for Scott’s Basketball Team. Showed an Aggressive nature Highpointing the Football in 1v1 Competition. I went and watched his Jr. Yr. Highlights and came away very impressed! He has deceptive speed. He’s very hard for DB’s to bring down in the open field. A Redzone Threat that works within the offense.   Jajuan Hall WR/DB, Dayton Oh, Thurgood Marshall. ℅ 22. 6’0 150 lbs. Posted 4.59 40 yd Dash. Hall grabbed my eye due to his work ethic. He took reps at Defensive Back and Wide Receiver. I didn’t evaluate his Defensive Reps. However, His receiving skills are very solid! He’s a Smooth Route Runner. Flows effortlessly in and out of breaks. Showed Natural Hands at Camp. Hall also, boasted the ability to release vs. Press Man Coverage. One note to make, Hall’s Highlight Film is Defensive Footage Only. I’m guessing Thurgood is planning on using him on Offense this season. One to watch in the Fall.   [player_tooltip player_id="128147" first="Isaiah" last="Myers"] WR, Cincinnati Oh, Princeton. ℅ 22 6’3 ½ 170 lbs.GPA 2.7. Posted 4.66 40 yd Dash.
