FBU National Championship: Trio of 2028’s Stand Out in Cent. FLA

Programs around the nation are gearing up for the FBU National Championship tournament and holding tryouts to find the best athletes in their area to compete. The FBU National Championship tournament celebrates and promotes youth football through uniting all-star athletes of all backgrounds from across the United States in a true, one-of-a-kind national tournament. The only national football tournament of its kind, the annual FBU National Championship crowns a national champion from brackets in grades 6th, 7th, and 8th. Last weekend, FBU National Championship mainstay Central Florida held their final tryout of the month of October and the competition did not disappoint. At the tryout several athletes came out to compete for a spot to represent the greater Orlando area. The Central Florida 6th grade team has never advanced to Championship Week but with word getting out about the success of their older teams, it should only be a matter of time until the young pups move on up. Here's a look at the 6th graders who stood out at the tryout. <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-215918 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/10/LamarGarrison-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Lamar Garrison | 6th Grade - Class of 2028 | Wide Receiver</strong> My MVP of the 2028s came from athlete <strong>Lamar Garrison</strong>, who was a tall, long, physically developed recruit compared to his peers who had good speed and noteworthy body control for his age. He could run, catch, and cover with a natural ease that you don’t see in many younger prospects, and could high point the football and makes plays on the ball like that of a much older recruit. <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-215919 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/10/NathanChang-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Nathan Chang | 6th Grade - Class of 2028 | Running Back</strong> A bigger 6^th grader than your typical prospect, <strong>Chang </strong>brought good speed and quickness to the table for his size and was physical in the competitive portions of the afternoon. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-215920 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/10/TeoEdwards-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Teo Edwards | 6th Grade - Class of 2028 | Quarterback</strong> Had solid mechanics for his age and could put some good touch on the ball when making throws downfield. Also used his legs well and had clean footwork when moving around the pocket.
