Husker’s 7v7 Camp: Creighton Prep 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. In this edition I’m going over my notes on the Creighton Prep 7v7 team. They started off a little spotty but rallied back and made it to the championship round of their division. I’m really glad I got to watch this group because they had a good mix of established players like [player_tooltip player_id="227009" first="CharMar" last="Brown"] and [player_tooltip player_id="227031" first="John" last="Pargo Jr"]. as well as young, hungry players like [player_tooltip player_id="250696" first="Zac" last="McLeay"], [player_tooltip player_id="245854" first="Dean" last="Donaldson"], etc. Check out which players stood out to me at the Huskers 7v7 camp. <hr /> <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="227009" first="CharMar" last="Brown"] | RB | 6’0" 200 lbs</strong></em> <em><strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13206484/Charmar-Brown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/BrownCharmar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em> <ul> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="227009" first="CharMar" last="Brown"] goes into the 2022 season ranked as the top running back after a huge junior year.</li> <li>He is incredibly fast. His film speed is top-tier, but then you watch him in person and he moves so much faster than you thought.</li> <li>I have him as the top back based on his running ability alone but he also looked impressive as a receiving back at the camp.</li> <li>You can dump it off to him on screens and short routes and let him work his magic.</li> </ul> <img class="wp-image-363101 alignnone" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/06/IMG_5090-scaled-e1655393917815.jpg" alt="" width="528" height="351" /> <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13206484/617496f9ff01a80990c2c088" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="245854" first="Dean" last="Donaldson"] | QB | 6’4" 185 lbs</strong></em> <em><strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14286336/Dean-Donaldson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/deandonaldson15" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em> <ul> <li>Unfortunately, an injury cut Dean’s sophomore season short but it’s great to have him back on the field dicing up defenses.</li> <li>Dean does not look like he’s missed a step. He was throwing lasers all day and fitting the ball into tight windows.</li> <li>He stands tall in the pocket and works well through his mechanics.</li> <li>Really excited to see him back in pads this season. He’s currently on our 2024 watchlist but I’m expecting him to shoot up once we get more tape on him.</li> </ul> <img class="alignnone wp-image-362911" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/06/IMG_5603-scaled-e1655357286408.jpg" alt="" width="528" height="308" /> <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="227032" first="Ahmar" last="Brown"] | LB/WR | 6’1" 185 lbs</strong></em> <em><strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13206440/Ahmar-Brown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/ahmar_brown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em> <ul> <li>Deep sleeper in the 2023 class!</li> <li>Ahmar is a player I feel is on the verge of a huge breakout season.</li> <li>He is a very reactive and instinctive linebacker that makes no wasted motions.
