<p>The Bootleggers accepted an invitation to OT7 Orlando this past weekend and brought a roster with heavy Mississippi flavor, but a few notable Louisiana standouts and notes.</p>

<p>Here are a few Boot-relevant takeaways from chats with coaches and watching clips and replays from the event.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='912282' first='Teshaun' last='Smith'] — 5-8, 170 WR — Booker T. Washington (2025)</strong></p>

<p>"Snoop" Smith was a name Prep Redzone Louisiana hadn't yet covered, but is officially on the radar after a big weekend that garnered rave reviews. The dynamic slot can shake himself free quickly off the line or make defenders miss with the ball in his hands and lists 4.47-second 40-yard speed once he turns up field. He does a nice job catching the ball away from his body and adjusting in the air as necessary to have a solid catch radius for his physical size.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='681280' first='Javion' last='White'] — 5-11, 175 ATH — Franklin Parish (2024)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Patriots' versatile star has been a Prep Redzone Louisiana favorite throughout the spring on the heels of a strong junior campaign and amid a high-level showing on the 7-on-7 circuit. But after primarily playing safety much of the spring, White excelled at corner all weekend at the high-profile tournament against good competition.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='144898' first='Tre' last='Fuller'] — 6-2, 180 DB — Captain Shreve (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fuller is among the top tier of rising juniors in Prep Redzone Louisiana's rankings and had another solid weekend covering a lot of ground with his length and speed and allowing opponents little success in his direction.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='145357' first='Lennis' last='Finister Jr.'] — 6-0, 170 DB — Archbishop Rummel (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another of standout defensive back from near the top of Prep Redzone Louisiana's 2025 rankings who had a nice weekend. Finister has gotten more and more reps as the spring has progressed and in bigger tournaments, activity and experience that should fare him well entering spring ball, college camps and a junior campaign with big expectations.</p>
