Thankfully, I already had the chance to see him ball up close. Heisler is equally gifted a tight-end prospect, yet the freshman laced up to gain defensive line reps at our camp. He ended up being the only underclassmen linemen to earn 1st or 2nd All-Camp honors. Very impressive, should help with his stock come ranking time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='558586' first='Parker' last='Funk'] caught our DL/OL scout Carl Frederick's eye on multiple occasions. So much so that he named him a Top Performer out of his position. The other four TP's bested Funk out of the running for 1st-Team All-Camp by a hair. Here's what Frederick had to say about Funk in a recent post. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"Another stud coming out of the class of 2024, Funk was very impressive on the evening. A powerful bull rusher who has a quick first step, Funk was a menace during the 1 on 1 period. Another defensive lineman who will be lined up everywhere for the Blue Devils defense, do not be surprised if he leads the conference in sacks this season."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='558326' first='Connor' last='Adams'] and Blake Houser both dominated the combine session of our camp. They went neck and neck, with Houser narrowly beating Adams out for the top tester at their position. To be fair, Houser dabbles in the EDGE/OLB areas. Both Adams and Houser carry similar builds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"center","id":629349,"width":249,"height":340,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/02/51-Connor-Adams.jpeg?w=707" alt="" class="wp-image-629349" width="249" height="340" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["386210"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e6e1f7ec20d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["618677"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e6e1f7ec253"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["618725"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e6e1f7ec295"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='386210' first='Tucker' last='Lloyd'], a now frequent face at Prep Redzone camps, narrowly missed the top-four linebacker nomination. That being said, Tucker, a top 160 ranked prospect in his class, was the first nomination for 2nd-Team honors. I didn't get the opportunity to see Tucker work too often, yet I love the progression I'm seeing in terms of build. That alone has left me intrigued. I have minimal doubt that the Latrobe sophomore has reached his ceiling in both maturity and build. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dylan Callaghan-Croley made a note to mention Cyer Moyers, the second prospect on the 2nd-Team All-Camp list that is out of Maryland. Moyers was pushing close to 240 pounds and still doing what he can to keep up with much quicker and faster running backs. We can tell his game shows itself with pads on, yet for the big man to not be deterred by speed was awesome to see and hear. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I didn't get to see Downingtown East prospect [player_tooltip player_id='618725' first='Jackson' last='Griffiths'] perform during Indi's and One-on-Ones, yet I was left impressed by his overall testing numbers. Could frame for a sophomore, 5'11, 185, Griffiths ran a 4.44 at the camp, topping overall top tester [player_tooltip player_id='251458' first='Gavin' last='Pond'] by a mile. His 40 time, along with his 9'4 broad jump has left me no choice but to include him in our next rankings update. Excited to see what kind of tape he has to offer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"center","id":629407,"width":341,"height":431,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/02/128-Cyer-Moyers.jpeg?w=810" alt="" class="wp-image-629407" width="341" height="431" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["558578"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63dc59c1a121e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["618727"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63dc59c1a1291"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["386131"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63dc59c1a1340"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["529072"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e6e1f7ec3a7"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='558578' first='Samir' last='Ware'] and [player_tooltip player_id='618727' first='Jamal' last='Van Irvin'] both were in close consideration for 1st-team All-Camp honors. They fell slightly short, yet I still came away impressed by two names I'm slightly unfamiliar with. I've liked [player_tooltip player_id='558578' first='Samir' last='Ware'] for some time, yet seeing him move up close has me thinking he's a bit better than his rank suggests. Van Irvin was a completely new name on my radar. I'm excited to get him represented after plugging in any game tape he might have. His play at the event earned him a deeper look. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='529072' first='Collin' last='McGee'] and [player_tooltip player_id='386131' first='Dimitri' last='Toman'] were pleasures to watch during Indi's. Both were so smooth for bigger defensive backs. Both listed at 6'1 or above before the camp began. Toman and McGee are better football players than they are campers, I knew that going in. They still managed to please coaches as well as myself from a build perspective. Toman ran a 4.78 40, not a bad time for a first-time tester who is narrowly short of 6'2. [player_tooltip player_id='529072' first='Collin' last='McGee'] recorded a 9'9 broad jump twice, as well as a 4.71 40 time. Toman and McGee solidified their stock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"center","id":629341,"width":300,"height":408,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/02/41-Dimitri-Toman.jpeg?w=754" alt="" class="wp-image-629341" width="300" height="408" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
