Husker’s 7v7 Camp: Benson Team Review

The Huskers had a busy weekend last weekend after hosting a Friday Night Lights camp, an Individual camp, and a 7v7 camp. These three camps brought a lot of talent from inside and outside the state to Lincoln to compete. For this feature I wanted to do a review of the different "Nebraska based" 7v7 teams. This includes school teams like Benson, Lincoln Southeast, Creighton Prep and 7v7 teams like NELITE 7v7 and the Lincoln Redwolves. The first team up is the Omaha Benson 7v7 team. Led by Coach Abdul Muhammad, the Bunnies had a great day in which they were able to showcase their star power while also incorporating young and new members of the team. They also had one of their young stars receive their first Power 5 offer. <hr /> <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="212372" first="DaShawn" last="Prince"] (2026) | WR | 6’3" 180 lbs</strong></em> <em><strong>Hudl | <a href="https://twitter.com/DaShawn1213" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em> <ul> <li>DaShawn was one of the biggest winners of the 7v7 camp. The incoming freshman capped off his day with an offer from the host Huskers.</li> <li>Prince was an absolute menace in the endzone, he has the length and hops to outjump defenders. I don’t remember the exact number of touchdowns he caught but I would guess that he caught one in each game the Bunnies played.</li> <li>Very mature route runner with elite hands.</li> <li>Prince will only be a freshman when the 2022 season starts, but he’s already on a quick track to being an elite national 2026 recruit.</li> </ul> <img class=" wp-image-360061 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/06/IMG_4804.jpg" alt="" width="543" height="362" /> https://twitter.com/great_dailey/status/1534004036495716353?s=20&amp;t=9YxZClYXbo5QUQCKJfyn-g <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="227045" first="Jaylen" last="Davis"] (2023) | QB/LB | 5’10" 195 lbs</strong></em> <em><strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12782824/Jaylen-Davis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/_jaylendavis_" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em> <ul> <li>Jaylen impressed me in a lot of ways at the 7v7 camp, one of them was in his leadership skills. Despite being a transfer from Omaha Central, it looks like he’s very well acclimated with the Benson squad and is one of the main leaders on the team.</li> <li>Jaylen has a big-time arm that is pretty accurate when pushing the ball downfield.</li> <li>He was quick to progress through his reads.</li> <li>A very instinctive player at LB/S, quick to sniff out plays.</li> </ul> <img class="wp-image-360201 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/06/IMG_4765.jpg" alt="" width="547" height="365" /> https://twitter.com/great_dailey/status/1533887450589847555?s=20&amp;t=9YxZClYXbo5QUQCKJfyn-g <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="326866" first="DJ" last="Sterling"] (2024) | WR</strong></em> <em><strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16892606/DJ-Sterling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/dj_sterling8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em> <ul> <li>DEEP sleeper in the 2024 class!</li> <li>DJ can flat out play on either side of the ball.
