Top Prospects From Ballers Choice Camp

Here are the Top prospects I saw at the Ballers choice camp in Minnesota. 1. [player_tooltip player_id="112050" first="Antonio" last="Fondren"] 2023 DT Osseo High Antonio is a large man who moves well. He has great size for the position standing 6’4 290 pounds. He currently holds 13 D1 offers. He is currently awaiting his first power 5 offer and it looks like he will get some due to his combination of size skill. On tape he uses his hands well. He sheds blocks really well and has a quick first step. On Saturday he tested well and looked dominant in the one on ones. Look for him to pick up some Power 5 offers soon. 2. [player_tooltip player_id="112140" first="Finn" last="McElroy"] 2023 QB Edina The 6’1 QB has a ton of potential. Throws a very accurate ball both intermediate and the deep ball. Has good pocket presence and awareness. Shows good mechanics on his release and has good footwork. He looks the part of a scholarship QB. If he continues to perform the way he did at camp it won’t be long before he starts getting D1 offers. Looks to be a solid Mid major prospect. Schools like st Thomas, North Dakota should be all over this kid. He would be a steal at the FCS level. Look for Finn to be one of the best if not the best QB in the state of Minnesota next season. 3. Joe Burress 2023 WR Park center High The 6’5 receiver is a match up nightmare. Looks to be a Jump ball receiver. Has deceptive speed with good hands. He does a good Job of high pointing the football. He is a developing route runner. Needs to bulk up and continue to develop his overall athleticism. The tools are their for him to be an FCS level receiver. Should be one of the better receivers in the metro area next season. His best football is ahead of him. He is just scratching the surface of his potential. 4. [player_tooltip player_id="19017" first="DaNari" last="Connors"] 2023 5’8 175 DB Cooper high school Danari has great speed. He ran sub 4.5 at the camp. He plays RB for cooper but looks to be a nickel corner or slot receiver at the next level. A fluid athlete with a solid build. He looked good in all the drills and in 7on7. Will have the chance to be a scholarship player at the next level. Looks to be a D2 caliber player at this stage of development. 5. Emmanuel Kormo 2026 LB 6’1 205 Cooper High Looked to be the best prospect in attendance. Blessed with a huge frame and Good length. For a Freshman he has elite measurables.
