Continue ReadingHunter put in a great showing, testing well and winning a few one-on-ones handily with an impressive array of pass rushing moves. He displayed a mature approach to pass rushing and won with technique and quickness. As his body catches up to his mind, he could be a dangerous threat on the interior of the defensive line.
Highlights
Wuerth showed off a nice array of skills that were highlighted by his impressive twitchiness and general quickness off the LOS and in his pass-rush moves. He was polished technique-wise, was patient in setting up his pass-rush moves and had active hands with efficient placement. showed off an ability to unlock his hips when necessary as well as utilize chops, stabs, and rips in the indy portion of the event. It was fun to watch.
Brown looked impressive during the testing portion, even at his young age. He’s a bit raw, but he already possesses an impressive combination of size and speed that projects well in the future. I was impressed with his bend in one-on-ones. As he adds more weaponry to his pass rushing repertoire, he’ll be a hot commodity on the recruiting trail.

Smith showed up in force and sold me on his loose hips, natural bend, ability to strong together pass-rush moves or counter OL, and quickness. He was able to consistently beat defenders inside or on their outside shoulder. He also played low and understood leverage where he could get lineman to open their hips with the power in his hands. With a great frame I think he has tremendous upside.

Defensive End that is just starting to scratch the surface of what he could eventually become. Continues to grow and improve each time we see him. Measured in at 5-foot-10 and 185-pounds with a fantastic wingspan at 76″. Good core strength and flexibility for being a big who is clearly growing with each passing day. Once he adds strength to his stretching frame and length, it could all come together at the right time for a recruiting splash.
Another big time 2028 prospect to get excited about in Georgia. The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder has a great frame to add a lot of weight and muscle as he continues to develop. Extremely quick given his size. Athleticism is what jumped off the field at the camp. Was clocked at a 5.49 in the forty–which is moving for his size and age. Could be an even better Offensive Tackle. Another year of middle school ball is a scary thought with him.
