Continue ReadingThe Stock Up Showcase was a success. As many players, scouts, and coaches, connected to form meaningful bonds and execute and hard day of training. To showcase the skills of various players across the New Jersey area.
These are the camp attendees whose performances stood out the most and caught the attention of scouts and coaches.
Nyir Daniels, Bergen Catholic, OL 2024
A very imposing player and looks every bit of 6’8 300. He showed great movement in the agility drills for a guy his size and was very impressive in the one-on-one drills. showed the ability to use his hands and nd the ability to get and stay low in his stance.

He put in some good work in the one-on-one portion of camp. Showing the bend you like to see from a taller OL. He showed solid quickness and quick feet used his hands very effectively to combat a smaller rusher. Nyir Daniels showed that he can be a very good offensive tackle with more reps and solid coaching.

Marques Hicks Marques Hicks 5'9" | 195 lbs | RB Camden Catholic | 2023 State NJ , RB, Camden Catholic, 2023
The unquestioned most explosive player at the showcase. Once he got warm he look as quick and fast in person as he does on tape. Very explosive with his cuts and very agile in open space. The word that will be frequently used with HIck is explosive and what he exhibited at the showcase may have more D1 scouts and coaches in his DMs.
Connor Reynolds Connor Reynolds 5'11" | 220 lbs | DL Point Pleasant Boro | 2023 State NJ , LB/ Edge, Point Pleasant Boro, 2023
This young man showed he had a relentless motor. He showed a refreshing eagerness and went 110% in every drill.
He’s a hybrid player and did some one-on-one work with the DL. Thought he had solid reps against Nyir Daniels. Showed some solid burst and a solid motor.

He had a solid day due to wondering about his prospects, which was cause for great excitement. He’s an edge rusher who should really consider a move full-time to inside linebacker. My rationale comes from his use of hands. For a high school edge rusher, he has solid use of hands which would assist him on fighting and taking on blocks he could be a terror in the run game specifically with destroying blocks. He has a relentless nature and motor that can be transferable to linebacker with a quick burst that can translate, which assist in how effective his range could be.
Connor Reynolds Connor Reynolds 5'11" | 220 lbs | DL Point Pleasant Boro | 2023 State NJ is a very intriguing prospect with immense untapped potential and upside.
Christopher (CJ) Banks Christopher (CJ) Banks 5'11" | 170 lbs | WR Sterling | 2023 NJ , WR, Winslow Township, 2023
Banks is listed as 5’10 but looks way bigger than that. He also is on this list because of future prospects. He has a long wingspan and can make above-the-rim catches. Had a little bit of inconsistency when it came to catching the football, but that is one area that can mostly be corrected.
He has a nice frame to add more weight to become a more physical receiver. He showed that he has solid footspeed, burst, and change of direction. The reoccurring theme is that this young man has so much more room to grow and get better if he continues to hone his craft, he could become a solid receiver.
