Music City Mayhem 7v7: Top Overall Performers

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tons of talent was on hand this past weekend in Murfreesboro for the PRZ 7v7 Tournament and a lot of prospects had banner performances, impressing many scouts on hand. Below are the guys who stood out the most, placing themselves among the top performers from last weekend's action. </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Disclaimer - Below are the prospects who I personally was able to view the most. Other Prep Redzone scouts were on hand and will have content from this tournament as well)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(QB) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='737465' first='Roman' last='Gagliano'] - Opelika (AL) - PME United&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Named the QB MVP for the championship bout vs. YOG Select, Gagliano had a consistent, steady showing throughout the entire weekend, displaying accuracy and timely passing. This underrated passer definitely showed off the makeup and physical abilities to spin the football on the collegiate level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone/status/1640105741259341827?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone/status/1640105741259341827?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(QB) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='148268' first='Kolter' last='Smith'] - Male (Ky) - 502 7v7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Smith had an outstanding 7v7 tourney in Nashville where he showed tremendous accuracy along with poise during tough moments. This is an under the radar quarterback that can really spin it but it's his demeanor with the ball in his hands that impressed me the most.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>‘25 (QB) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='432374' first='Kevin' last='Sperry'] - Rock Hill (Tx) - C4 Nation</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- One of the more impressive gunslingers in attendance last weekend was this current Oklahoma Sooner commit. Sperry sports sound mechanics along with great arm strength and the ability to maneuver in the pocket. This young man has a bright future as you could see the maturity within his game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>‘25 (QB) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='196717' first='Isaiah' last='Rogers'] - Ben Davis (IN) - TFP Flite Boys</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- A big presence behind center, Rogers commanded his offense very well throughout the weekend, throwing with confidence and the ability to push the ball deep down field. This Indiana based passer does need to keep developing his body but the physical traits and arm talent is certainly there.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DabnerCharles/status/1640078759515529229?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DabnerCharles/status/1640078759515529229?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>--------------------------</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(RB) <strong>Jamir Fox - Ashbrook (NC) - Dolphin Xtreme</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- This was the best running back performer of any team this weekend in Murfreesboro. Fox is an athletic dynamo coming out the backfield who sports outstanding hands and the quickness to run in and around defenders. If this guy doesn't have any offers or college interest, he should before too long because he's that good.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":732380,"width":440,"height":330,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/03/jfox.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-732380" style="width:440px;height:330px"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>‘25 (RB) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='353410' first='Caden' last='Knighten'] - Wynnewood (OK) - C4 Nation</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Knighton is one of the hottest names on the recruiting scene currently that attended the PRZ 7v7 Tourney last weekend and he impressed many in attendance. Knighton is an elusive but physically well built young man that brings a variety of skills to the backfield. Look for this guy's recruitment to continue exploding over the coming months.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(WR) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='320791' first='Jeremiah' last='Madlock'] - City High (IA) - Fire Dragons Blaze</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Coaches need to start paying attention to this Midwest wideout because Madlock can play and from his performance this weekend, I think he could be a Power Five guy. Madlock is a well built guy with long arms and size. He can also run while sporting a strong competitive nature. This guy was impressive and someone worth watching moving forward.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(WR) <strong>Isaiah Rigsby - South Warren (Ky) - TN Select&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Rigsby was a major reason why TN Select went deep into bracket play on Sunday as this tall wideout made several tough catches with a few of them being in the end zone. This South Kentucky receiver uses his size very well against smaller defenders while also displaying a strong vertical leap.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone/status/1640023043853492228?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone/status/1640023043853492228?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(WR) <strong>Will Wilcox - Winnsboro (Tx) - C4 Black Ops&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Wilcox was a problem for many teams he encountered over the weekend at the PRZ 7v7 Tourney. This tall and long pass catcher used his length and size to control defenders while hauling several tough catches with DB's draped all over him. Wilcox needs to get bigger but he has outstanding hands and the frame to take on more weight.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-----------------------</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(LB) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='150287' first='Caden' last='Marshall'] - Henry Co. (TN) - Phenom Supreme&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Not only does Marshall look the part of a college linebacker but he moves like one too as he proved that last weekend, showing the ability to drop in coverage and chase down receivers sideline to sideline. This is an intriguing talent as Marshall is just coming into his own with his best football ahead of him.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":730056,"width":264,"height":469,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/03/20230325_120247.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-730056" style="width:264px;height:469px"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>‘25 (LB) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219426' first='Sam' last='Haley'] - Ensworth (TN) - TN Savages&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- The future is very bright for this Mid-Tennessee linebacker who has size, smarts and strong maturity towards life and football. Haley is a big guy who has two years of high school play left who showed last weekend the ability to drop in coverage, making plays on the ball while also contributing on offense, using his strong hands at tight end.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(S) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='767111' first='Cody' last='Williamson'] - Centennial (TN) - Mid-TN Wolfpack</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- This dude was an absolute ball hawk last weekend in the Boro as Williamson picked off three passes while breaking up several others. The PRZ 7v7 Tourney was the 1st action of the offseason for this Mid-Tennessee safety and he more than impressed, he boosted his stock as a college recruit.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>--------------------</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Ath) <strong>Jedan Gilbert - Fairfield Prep (AL) - YOG Select&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Tall and long with tremendous athletic abilities, Gilbert was one of the more impressive overall talents at the tourney last weekend, using his physical traits to his advantage on both offense and defense. This guy has strong potential as an eventual college wideout or safety and someone with secondary versatility.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>‘25 (Ath) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='179182' first='Justin' last='Price'] - Lutheran North (IL) - BOOM&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- One of the best natural athletes in Murfreesboro last weekend was this Midwest playmaker who sports elite speed and elusive game changing abilities. On multiple occasions, Price would take a short pass and quickly turn it into a big gain, sometimes finishing in the end zone. Look for this guy's offer sheet to explode sooner rather than later.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>‘25 (Ath) <strong>J.B. Ellis - Springfield (TN) - DSP Elite&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Ellis was a talent that I didn't know too much about heading into the PRZ 7v7 tourney but is certainly someone on my radar now after an impressive weekend of play where he was one of the best two-way performers. This Mid-Tennessee product has nice size, arm length and the athletic traits to develop at either receiver or safety.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jabraylonellis/status/1640367372027539457?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jabraylonellis/status/1640367372027539457?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>‘25 (Ath) <strong>Keywone Posey - Pinson (AL) - Bama Legends&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- An athletic dynamo with great leaping abilities, Posey had several shining moments throughout the event last weekend where he showed college potential on either side of the ball. He produced multiple scores but mainly showed me his natural athletic skills that translates well to the next level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-------------------</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Top Performers&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB: <strong>Kyler Finney </strong>- Winnsboro, Tx (C4 Black Ops), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='258674' first='Brian' last='Rager'] </strong>- Liberty Creek (TN Stars),&nbsp; ‘26 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='237071' first='Kemp' last='Keller'] </strong>- Pulaski Acad, AR (Icons)<strong> </strong>‘27 <strong>Vernon Slaughter </strong>- Hueytown, AL</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB: ‘‘25 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='858846' first='Mason' last='Bryant'] </strong>- Father Ryan (TN Savages),‘26 <strong>Chayce Burton </strong>- Male, Ky (502 7v7)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR: <strong>DaShaun Anderson </strong>- Marquette, MO (BOOM), ‘26 <strong>Cole Turner </strong>- Pulaski Acad, AR (Icons)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LB: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='247995' first='Sam' last='Kueter'] </strong>- City High, IA (FD Blaze), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='277761' first='D.J.' last='Curll'] </strong>- Centennial, TN (MidTN Wolfpack)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DB: ‘25 <strong>Chris Wilson </strong>- Trinity, Ky (Indy Select)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ath: <strong>Rodrekus Johnson </strong>- Clay-Chalkville, AL (PME United), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='839926' first='Micah' last='Threatt'] </strong>- Shelbyville (931 Mafia), ‘25 <strong>Antonio Harris </strong>- Male, Ky (502 7v7), ‘25 <strong>Dereon Crowe </strong>- Owensboro, Ky (DSP Elite), '25 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='353446' first='Ethan' last='Johnson'] </strong>- Chrst.
