Top Performers from the Elite Camp Six Event at East Stroudsburg
In this article:
I sadly couldn’t make the trip out to East Stroudsburg University this past week thanks to my day job. Looking at the talent level that was there, I would have loved to come out and scout the event. Thankfully UConn Alum and national athletic trainer, Jason Williams, was able to fill me in on the top performers from the camp. The evaluations in this piece will come straight from his point of view of who he thought performed well. I’ll add additional input as to where a said player is ranked. We are doing this all in the name of exposure for prospects!
Jalen Fletcher Jalen Fletcher 5'10" | 185 lbs | DB Freedom | 2023 State PA | 5’10, 175 | ATH | Freedom | 2023
“Jalen has all the makings of a lockdown CB at next level. Great feet, Patience at the line, Plays the ball well in the air, and uses hands very well. Elite cover corner Prospect!”
Jalen is currently a Watchlist player I came across earlier this Summer. The overall MVP of the event has put together a solid offseason, as I have heard his name from coaches and on Twitter for weeks now. Highlights from some 1v1 reps showed me he’s a handsy defensive back who has an outstanding ability to recognize route patterns early and almost beat wideouts to the spot. Much like Coach Jay stated, I would trust Fletcher to play man against a team’s number one.
Myles Reynolds Myles Reynolds 6'2" | 200 lbs | DL Monsignor Bonner | 2022 State PA | 6’2, 190 | DE/TE/OLB | Monsignor Bonner | 2022
“One of the fastest and quickest first steps I’ve seen in a while. Undersized, but uses it to his advantage very well. Slippery.”
Another prospect added to our Watchlist after this performance. Monsignor Bonner is absolutely loaded, and it seems every other week or so I come across a different player from the program who stands out amongst the rest. Reynolds is yet another. Excited to see more of this kid. DE/TE/OLB tag intrigues me.
Grayden Lewis Grayden Lewis 5'11" | 175 lbs | DB Richland | 2023 State PA | RB/DB | Richland | 2023
“Very quick and smooth. Effortless and makes plays look easy. Sneaky fast and can run great routes like a slot receiver. 2 more years of Varsity football he could emerge as a Big Time RB Prospect.”
I think this quick eval is spot on. Grayden Lewis Grayden Lewis 5'11" | 175 lbs | DB Richland | 2023 State PA is our 179th ranked junior who is as serious a route runner as you can find. Kid gets great separation and displacement after his first speed cut and understands how to set up short routes with serious acceleration up field. He could be better, still, I could watch him run routes all day.
Robert Rossi Robert Rossi 6'4" | 190 lbs | WR Scranton Prep | 2022 State PA | 6’4, 190 | WR | Scranton Prep | 2022
“Great Body at 6’4 190 and runs well. Knows how to get open and goes up to get the ball better than most. Super threat in the red zone.”
Here’s another player I was unfamiliar with before being put on. Added to Watchlist like the rest. Coaches, scouts, recruits all alike. We all love size on the field for obvious reasons. This kid’s got it. I took a quick peek at his 2020 Hudl and saw a productive prospect who can also provide reps at defensive back, where he accounted for three interceptions. 18 catches, 350 yards, and 6 touchdowns on the year offensively.
Carter Speyerer Carter Speyerer 6'0" | 190 lbs | QB Daniel Boone | 2022 State PA | 6’0, 190 | QB/S | Daniel Boone | 2022
“Carter can flat out spin it. Very athletic and throws well outside the pocket. Throws with solid accuracy and velocity on his footballs. Should rise up boards, Elite 11 standout as well.”
Very pleased to hear that Speyerer did well at the camp! I recently had him on a Mailbag piece that highlighted much of what Coach Jay is speaking on here. I’m a huge fan of this kid and hope he continues to develop confidence at quarterback. He’s currently slated as the 255th ranked senior in PA.
Nolan O’Hara Nolan O’Hara 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Coatesville | 2022 State PA | 5’11, 200 | LB | Coatesville | 2022
“Nolan is compact at 5’11 200 and has solid Agility to make plays everywhere. Showed he can cover in space as well. Flies around looking for trouble.”
An unranked prospect who I’m happy to be enlightened on. He’s a first-team All-Area linebacker at Coatesville who I’m looking forward to watch this fall, possibly in person! Rivals (PAPreps) recently named him the Chesmont National Defensive Preseason MVP. We will see!
Eddie Brown, III Eddie Brown, III 6'2" | 290 lbs | OL Downingtown West | 2025 State PA | 6’1, 325 | OL/DL | Downingtown West | 2025
“Oline/DLine. 6’0 300 as a rising 9th grader with natural ability. He’s only going to get better, bigger, and stronger. He will end up being a guy.”
Been a huge fan of this kid for some time and have had my eye on him this offseason. I am happy to hear good things from Coach on this massive Oline/Dline prospect. We haven’t dropped our preliminary 2025 rankings, I expect him to make an appearance sooner rather than later.
Aiden Black Aiden Black 6'3" | 225 lbs | TE Delaware Valley | 2024 State PA | 6’3, 220 | TE/LB | Delaware Valley | 2024
“AB is a solid prospect with Elite potential. Already has an offer from App State and going into his sophomore year should improve. Runs routes and shows strength to block.”
Aiden Black Aiden Black 6'3" | 225 lbs | TE Delaware Valley | 2024 State PA is the highest-ranked prospect on this list, as he currently sits as our 41st prospect in the class of 2024. Incredibly athletic player who I could see a transition to linebacker in the future. Black’s been clocked running a 4.75 at his age and weight. Love that.
Sean Mackinder Sean Mackinder 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR Valley View | 2022 State PA | 6’1, 170 | WR/DB | Valley View | 2022
“6’1 175 and can run every route in the tree well. Solid hands and uses body to separate himself. Gets off the line easy and has good enough speed for the next level. Makes the hard catches in traffic.”
An unranked player who has done enough before this event to land him on our senior rankings. The 1st-Team All-Conference wideout was an initial oversight but has made his presence known each month. Time to get this kid on the rankings.
Avrey Grimm Avrey Grimm 5'9" | 165 lbs | ATH Owen J. Roberts | 2022 State PA | RB/ATH | Owen J. Roberts | 2022
Kyle Helm Kyle Helm 6'2" | 320 lbs | OL Exeter Township | 2022 State PA | OL/DL | Exeter Township | 2022
“Kyle is powerful and if he gets his paws on you, good luck. Quick enough to get in great position. Uses hands well and uses body control well.”
Kyle Helm Kyle Helm 6'2" | 320 lbs | OL Exeter Township | 2022 State PA is a senior prospect who landed on our summer rankings at the 307 spot. If he keeps up solid performances in camp and shows out how we expect him to at Exeter Township, that 307 spot will rise. Beaty is a prospect I have followed from the start of my scouting career! I have seen the kid grow and develop and am happy to see his play recognized by a prominent voice in PA HS football. More is coming his way.
Elijah Beaty Elijah Beaty 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB Bonner-Prendie | 2023 State PA | 6’0, 160 | DB/WR | Monsignor Bonner | 2023
“Solid technique at times and good fundamentals. Always in good position. Good Quickness and uses hands well.”
Beaty is a prospect I have followed from the start of my scouting career! I have seen the kid grow and develop and am happy to see his play recognized by a prominent voice in PA HS football. More is coming his way. Beaty is up there with Aiden Black Aiden Black 6'3" | 225 lbs | TE Delaware Valley | 2024 State PA as one of the top-ranked prospects at this event. Slotted in at the 62nd spot in his class.
Ryan Lewiski Ryan Lewiski 5'11" | 210 lbs | LB Owen J. Roberts | 2023 State PA | 5’11, 205 | LB | Owen J. Roberts | 2023
“Ryan has solid Athleticism. Body type fits style. Runs around and loves to compete. Good Quickness and physical.”
Ryan, our 234th ranked junior, is the second prospect on this list out of Owen J. Roberts High School along with Grimm. If OJR continues to flourish this offseason the way they have, we should all expect a big fall from the program.
Cole Transue Cole Transue 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Easton Area | 2022 State PA | 6’3, 200 | QB | Easton Area | 2022
“6’3 195 he can make all the throws. Solid body type and throws well on the run.”
Excited to learn more about this senior quarterback prospect who stands tall at 6’3. Added to Watchlist to be ranked. I hope to take time out and watch his tape to see where he fits along our stacked 2022 quarterback rankings.
Makai Jackson Makai Jackson 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB Harry S. Truman | 2022 State PA | 5’11, 185 | DB | Harry S. Truman | 2022
“Makai is a solid safety prospect with long arms. Very impressive, covered strong WRs and lightning-quick ones as well. Quick with good hand use at the line.”
Huge fan of Jackson’s. Was a pleasure to watch his junior season unfold at HST. I hope and plan on catching some games on person to see this kid’s stellar play at defensive back. I did what I could to get this kid attention, ranking him close to a top 100 spot in his class. Great for a debut ranking.
Michael Powel | 6’2, 280 | OL/DL | Haverford | 2022
“Lightning-quick feet, very Agile, and always in perfect position. Reads defenders like a book. Uses hands well and locks and drives.”
Haverford senior who won the “Best Linemen & Trenches Award” against some serious competition. Powell doesn’t even have a profile on our site. I love finding new prospects who have all the potential to place high on our rankings as newcomers. He fits the mold.
