This Winter Showcase featured over 250 athletes in front of over 40 colleges and universities. Many players stood out to the coaches running the showcase - this article will feature the MVP's for the Wide Receiver position.   Cam Macon - Berry - A 2024 player standing at 6'0 and 160 pounds, Macon is a bit under the radar playing for Berry Academy in Charlotte, but he has defintely gone viral since the showcase with a beautiful catch during the 1 on 1 competition portion of the camp garnering over 7,000 likes on Instagram. That being said, he is a very good route runner with strong hands and an ability to make plays in the clutch.   <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmAW3IQpV6V/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>   <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmAW3IQpV6V/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmAW3IQpV6V/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>   <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmAW3IQpV6V/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">View this post on Instagram</a>   <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmAW3IQpV6V/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A post shared by The Creator ⛹🏾‍♂️ (@smuuvevisualzz)</a> </blockquote>   [player_tooltip player_id='335914' first='Izay' last='Bridges'] - Shelby - A very fast playmaker, Izay was a previous MVP at the HBCU Showcase by Charlotte Football Insiders last year. At 5'7 and 150 pounds, he is a dynamic slot receiver that can take the top off of any coverage. Bridges can also help in the kick return and punt return game on special teams as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='357705' first='Armon' last='Wright'] - Chambers - Armon is a smooth route runner with excellent hands. He has kind of had to wait his turn with all of the WR talent at Chambers previously, but this 2024 prospect should blossom this upcoming year. At 5'9 165 pounds, he projects to be a strong player out of the slot primarily on the next level. Can play some defense at DB also.   Jakeith Hamilton - Shelby - Hamilton is a physicially impressive 6'3 receiver in the 2023 class. He shows offers currently from Catawba, Livingstone, and UVA-Wise. With his height, you would correctly assume he is excellent at high-pointing the football in 1 on 1 situations and excels in the redzone especially. He has a 3.8 GPA to go along with his great on-field talents.   Jaidan Lee - Mallard Creek - Jaidan was impressive in an overall fashion - he ran very crisp routes and used his speed very well to create seperation in 1 on 1 coverage. I like how he caught the football with strong hands in contested situations as well. Jaidan is an excellent track runner to go along with his football skills. I feel like a school will get very lucky taking a chance on him.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/LeeJaidan/status/1601740694376550401?s=20&t=HR3OP85cTCLrR1Na3D8-nQ </div></figure>   Javeon Neals - Woodland (SC) - I did not know much about Javeon before this showcase, but he definitely left a strong impression on me aftwerward. At 6'1 and 160 pounds, he looked very fluid running his routes and consistently winning against tight man to man coverage against some of the best defensive backs in attendance. He picked up an offer from Louisburg immediately after the camp ended, reflective of his performance. He is a certified deep threat and can close cushions very quickly.   Adriel Miller - Central Cabarrus - Adriel had a very impressive season for the Vikings and had a strong showcase performance. A 2023 prospect, he is 5'11 and 175 pounds and can play outside or inside at the next level in my opinion. He displayed great route running skills and strong hands throughout the showcase and was one of the most consistent receivers in attendance. He received an offer from Elizabeth City State immediately after the showcase.   Victor Wingate - North Forsyth - A dual-threat quarterback all season long, Wingate came to the camp as a 2024 prospect playing wide receiver and looked like a true natural. I loved the quickness and agility he displayed with his releases and getting in and out of his routes well. He caught everything that was thrown his way, and played with strong confidence. It will be scary to see how good he is if he focuses on WR full-time.   Jaylen Springs - Independence - This 2023 prospect at 6'2 and 200 pounds can definitely help a school on the next level. High points the football very well, and he wins a lot versus man coverage. I thought he ran good routes throughout the day and displayed very good hands on his receptions. After the conclusion of the showcase, he immediately picked up an offer from Louisburg.
