<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>I attended the 2023 UC Report/ESPN camp in Kansas City last Sunday and had the opportunity to see a ton of the top talent no only across the state of Missouri but also from Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, Arkansas and Illinois. Here is a look at the top performers from the state of Missouri who were there.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='130203' first='Aneyas' last='Williams'] RB Hannibal</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":791445,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/UC-Report-1-2023-04-15-322-1.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-791445" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Notre Dame has impressed me every time since I first saw him in person as a sophomore and he scored 6 touchdowns in a game. He just continues to show more each time and this camp was no different. Despite an impressive array of overall talent and running back talent, Williams stood out above the rest in testing, drills and one on one. He is a complete back who can do it all, run the ball, catch, block, play on special teams. His speed and quickness showed on Sunday, along with his football IQ and being a student of the game, making everything he does seem effortless. Anyeas is clearly on a mission to be the best at what he does, and on Sunday it was clear to me that he was. He looks ready for his freshman season with the Irish more then a junior in high school. He has advanced physical development and athleticism. I would not be surprised to see him play as a true freshman in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='185397' first='Williams' last='Nwaneri'] DE Lee's Summit North</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":791478,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/UC-Report-1-2023-04-15-059.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-791478" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nwaneri is the defensive equivalent on Aneyas and showed it on Sunday. He is physically and athletically gifted and advanced for a high school junior with his length, strength, reach (84" wing span), explosive get off, speed and quickness at 6'5" 260. He was clearly the top DL at the camp and was no surprise he earned a UA All-American game invite with his performance on the day. He stood out in every drill I witness and looks poised for a monster senior season terrorizing opposing quarterbacks and ball carriers. Someone is going to get a multi year starter at DE on the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='126237' first='Jeremiah' last='McClellan'] WR CBC </strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":791489,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/UC-Report-1-2023-04-15-324.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-791489" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elite caliber wide receiver prospect McClellan came out and also earned himself an invite to the UA All-American game with his performance on the day. McClellan did not let 41 MPH wind gusts slow him down one bit. His superior speed and quickness showed in every test, drill and one on one play he made on the day. He looked especially good in the gauntlet drill running down the field at full speed and catch passes from quarterbacks on opposite sides on the field. He also looked uncoverable in one on ones that I watched. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='126253' first='Talan' last='Chandler'] C Nevada</strong><br>The UC Report Kansas City camp MVP was 2024 OL [player_tooltip player_id='126253' first='Talan' last='Chandler'], who told me heading into camp that he was there to win the MVP, and he followed through on his mission. Chandler is so technically sound and strong to go along with his quick and very good footwork that it makes it tough for opposing DLs to get around him. He had a very impressive showing in the one on ones against some of the top defensive linemen from around the region. So it was no real surprise that the Colorado commit won MVP on the day. It's good to see others realize how good he is and what I have been touting for two years now,</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='177938' first='Isaiah' last='Mozee'] WR Lee's Summit North </strong><br>Mozee won the wide receiver MVP award on the day, the only one from the state of Missouri in the class of 2025, with his outstanding showing of his skills and athleticism. Isaiah is the complete package of speed, route running, hands and looks like he has grown a bit since the end of last year. He is a heck of a target and clearly stood out above the pack in every aspect to earn his recognition. the elite caliber pass catcher showed why he is one of the most coveted prospects in the 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>OTHER 2024'S WITH GOOD CAMP PERFORMANCES</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='335510' first='Sam' last='Kaiser'] QB Rock Bridge</strong><br>- Big-time QB showed way he has multiple D1 offers with his arm strength and accuracy on the day in drills and one on ones delivering the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='185373' first='Elijah' last='Leonard'] QB Lee's Summit North</strong><br>-Heck of a sleeper D1 QB prospect.
