<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The talent from this past Sunday was plentiful, at the Iowa West Sports Plex in Council Bluffs.

He has prototypical QB size with a solid frame. He creates a solid base with good hip rotation and has a zip on the ball coming off his hand. Hoff ran a 5 second 40-yard dash on both attempts, which is respectable, but his 4.75 second shuttle and 7.75 second L drill showed impressive mobility. Hoff displayed a strong arm that can stretch the field but will need to continue working on his accuracy. The physical attributes are there. If Hoff puts the work in the film room and continues to work on mechanics, you could see a dynamic duo emerge for the Rockets with Hoff and the young wideout [player_tooltip player_id='415240' first='Dupree' last='Pleasant'].rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://iframe%20src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14834961/63cb536ed21b220994ee3fc5'%20width='640'%20height='360'%20frameborder='0'%20allowfullscreen/iframeu0022u003eu003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14834961/63cb536ed21b220994ee3fc5u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreen=u0022allowfullscreenu0022u003eu003c/iframeu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["250229"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Derek84Yutanu0022u003ehttps://twitter.com/Derek84Yutanu003c/au003ernrnReading scouting articles, you probably see the phrase u0022passes the eye testu0022 somewhat regularly. If anyone is the epitome of this, it is [player_tooltip player_id='250229' first='Derek' last='Wacker']. At 6'1u0022 and weighing 226 Lbs, Wacker is built like a brickhouse and looks like a grown man on the field. Running a 4.69 second 40-yard dash was comparable to some wide receiver and running back times. Add in 4.5 second shuttle, 7.41 L Drill and 9'4.5u0022 broad jump and you have a camp monster.  His speed allows him to be respectable in coverage and his strength makes him an asset against the run. Wacker maybe one of the more underappreciated athletes in the state as he runs track and medaled in wrestling as well. The athletic prowess has translated on the field and Wacker will be in for a huge senior year.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://iframe%20src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14865747/635da0267bd48c0a38131e9c'%20width='640'%20height='360'%20frameborder='0'%20allowfullscreen/iframeu0022u003eu003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14865747/635da0267bd48c0a38131e9cu0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreen=u0022allowfullscreenu0022u003eu003c/iframeu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["704079"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/TheGovester57u0022u003ehttps://twitter.com/TheGovester57u003c/au003ernrnThe best hairdo in camp wasn't Gove's only accomplishment this past Sunday. Maybe a little undersized for an interior lineman, Gove demonstrated a strong upper body against the rush in 1v1 drills and showed good mobility during testing, running a 4.81 second shuttle and an 8.21 L Drill. Strength and mobility are must haves for any North Platte lineman. His mobility allows him to pull on run plays and get to the second level which is valuable to any team. Gove has the tenacity and physicality to make an impact at the next level and its only a matter of time before more college staffs take notice.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://iframe%20src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14498319/6407ddfe5797f20dec56cf2d'%20width='640'%20height='360'%20frameborder='0'%20allowfullscreen/iframeu0022u003eu003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14498319/6407ddfe5797f20dec56cf2du0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreen=u0022allowfullscreenu0022u003eu003c/iframeu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["516763"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Trevenweddleu0022u003ehttps://twitter.com/Trevenweddleu003c/au003ernrnWeddle is an explosive athlete who has an initial burst that is hard to match. This burst was on full display with his 4.56 second shuttle, 7.25 second L- Drill and 9'3u0022 broad jump. Weddle's strong 6'1u0022, 186 Lb frame is like a muscle car with great suspension, as he can make shifty cuts while being difficult to slow down. A flat-out ball player, Weddle is utilized in multiple roles with the Cadets from running back to linebacker, to punt returner and taking some snaps at QB. The explosiveness he displayed on the Prospect Tour supports his State Honorable Mention, and college recruiters will be finding themselves in West Point, Nebraska often this fall.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://iframe%20src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12167001/63cff9bfb019001748b0be8d'%20width='640'%20height='360'%20frameborder='0'%20allowfullscreen/iframeu0022u003eu003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12167001/63cff9bfb019001748b0be8du0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreen=u0022allowfullscreenu0022u003eu003c/iframeu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["318989"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/wayne_alijahu0022u003ehttps://twitter.com/wayne_alijahu003c/au003ernrnOnly a Sophomore, Wayne has been on my watchlist for a while now. His 6'3u0022, long frame gives quarterbacks a big target and catch radius to throw to. An underrated element to his game is his route running capabilities, dipping his hips to cut into  routes and create seperation. He demonstrated this ability with a 4.7 second shuttle and 7.75 second L-Drill. The most impressive part of his day came in 1v1 drills, he was able to make plays fighting through coverage while showing he could be a problem down the field with his length. Wayne always seemed to get his hands on the ball no matter if was thrown too far or too high.  Wayne is a matchup problem. He should be a focal point on his offense during his Junior year and should see a huge leap in production and exposure.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://iframe%20src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16196743/635d8cd234485608f0f585ac'%20width='640'%20height='360'%20frameborder='0'%20allowfullscreen/iframeu0022u003eu003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16196743/635d8cd234485608f0f585acu0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreen=u0022allowfullscreenu0022u003eu003c/iframeu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6440b976945c1"} /-->

The talent from this past Sunday was plentiful, at the Iowa West Sports Plex in Council Bluffs. Over 60 football players proved their worth through testing and numerous drills meant to test their agility. I will be reviewing players that were impressive during the assessments, but more importantly, left me with the feeling they could develop into some of the top prospects in the area for this year and beyond.
