Super 7v7 Top Performers

<p>There were a ton of talented teams and players at the Super 7v7 event this past weekend at Abessinio Stadium in Wilmington, Delaware. Former NFL player Torrey Smith's Level 82 won the entire tournament against a very hot Camboyz 7v7 team from Central PA. Multiple major recruits were in attendance, and several teams showcased some elite talent from all over the Northeast, including some very talented players from across the nation on California Power. There are a couple of teams excluded here in the top performers, CTC and NY Hustle are getting their own article on PRZ New York about their top performers, which you can find <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/super-7v7-ctc-ny-hustle-top-performers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. I was also unable to catch any ASG games, so I do not have top performers for them.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Champions: Level 82</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/IMG_4977.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-801475" /></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tournament MVP: [player_tooltip player_id='284126' first='Gavin' last='Sidwar']</h2>   <p>We start with the overall camp MVP. Although Saturday was a little rocky for Sidwar, he was dominant on Sunday, easily outperformed every other quarterback when it mattered, and made big-time throws for Level 82. Sidwar worked with a really good rhythm and timing on Sunday and showed some escapability from the few blitzes he faced. Sidwar was very accurate on the day, consistently hitting guys in stride and tearing apart defenses throw the middle of the field. Sidwar has a smooth release and puts really nice touch on the ball, showcasing the ability to make all kinds of throws over the field. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='264252' first='George' last='Arendt']</h2>   <p>Arendt makes this list for a few elite defensive plays he made in a couple of games. Arendt was elite at reading the quarterback, and it led to multiple plays on the ball and the ability to make game-changing plays for Level 82. Arendt has great closing speed and does a really good job with not getting caught by quarterbacks looking defenders off but instead diagnoses route concept and can react quicker than most DBs to make a play on the ball. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='386141' first='Julian' last='McFadden']</h2>   <p>Level 82 had multiple solid WRs, but [player_tooltip player_id='386141' first='Julian' last='McFadden'] stood out due to his elite quickness and speed. McFadden was tough for anyone to cover all event and every time it seemed like Level 82 needed a big play or conversion, McFadden was getting open. After the catch, his speed was a factor in getting extra yards, and he showcased the ability to run routes well at multiple levels. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Runner Ups: Camboyz</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/IMG_4869.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-801477" /></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='222655' first='Hayden' last='Johnson']</h2>   <p>The entire Camboyz team was essentially unstoppable until they met Level 82 in the finals, and a big part of that was [player_tooltip player_id='222655' first='Hayden' last='Johnson']. There was no quarterback who worked with more poise and accuracy than Johnson throughout the camp. Johnson was not afraid to make tough tight window throws and give his bigger targets a chance to win. Johnson was throwing balls that many quarterbacks would hesitate to make, but with his ball placement and velocity, Johnson was able to stay in rhythm and make the very difficult play look relatively easy. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='256168' first='Landon' last='Kennel']</h2>   <p>Kennel was the only receiver in the event who truly got treated with double coverage in an attempt to take him out of the game. Kennel, a big target, came down with at least 80% of the 50/50 catch opportunities and his ability to high point the ball and catch and secure the ball with just his hands, not using his body and still being able to hold on through defenders arms trying to break up the catch is on an elite level. As a route runner, Kennel was very strong down the field. Using his size and ability to position himself in front of defenders to win was what led to so many dominant down-the-field passes and touchdowns. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deandre Jones</h2>   <p>I do not think there was a more exciting player with the ball in his hands than DeAndre Jones for Camboyz. Jones had multiple highlight reel runs after the catch where guys who were in sure positions to get their hands on him came nowhere near touching him. Jones used elite lateral ability and quickness to win after the catch but also to create separation on his routes. A highlight reel every time he touched the ball. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Metro 7</h2>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='675012' first='Nasir' last='Jackson']</h2>   <p>Metro 7 had an up-and-down tournament, but one standout and one of my overall favorite players was [player_tooltip player_id='675012' first='Nasir' last='Jackson']. Jackson was nearly uncoverable all tournament with such elite quickness and twitch while running routes. After the catch, Jackson was dangerous, and his jump cuts are lethal, but he can go from horizontal to vertical very quickly and has great burst and balance. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">NLG</h2>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ronnie Borden</h2>   <p>Borden was a solid performer for NLG all tournament and showcased the ability to make solid throws down the field very consistently. Borden has a really nice arm and can throw with some good velocity fitting the ball through tight windows down the field. Borden made all the throws you want your quarterback to make with confidence and consistency all tournament long.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wingmen</h2>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='141016' first='David' last='Washington Jr']</h2>   <p>There will be a reoccurring theme with the Wingmen's top performers, starting with Washington. Washington was able to create separation on nearly every route he ran. With short quick routes, Washington used his agility and physicality against press. Washington's ability to make quick cuts and stay at top speed in intermediate routes led to separation. And down the field, Washington was at his best, DBs seemed to always get lost early on in his routes, creating easy separation down the field for Washington.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='255738' first='Elijah' last='Jones']</h2>   <p>Jones, just like Washington, put on some route-running clinics for the Wingmen. Jones was a little quicker off the snap and was a huge threat in the 8-15 yard range. Jones showed good instincts against zone coverage to where he would not run straight into defenders' zones and instead adjust route depth and speed to maintain separation from defenders. Overall, Jones was consistent and dominant as a route runner.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='145459' first='Alijah' last='Turner']</h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='145459' first='Alijah' last='Turner'] may be the smallest of the three Wingmen wideouts, but he was a huge factor in their success, the ability to win early and use his speed and burst after the catch were on display. Turner, also a very good route runner, as showcased by the entire Wingmen receiving corps, was able to win from multiple alignments and all field levels. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">R City</h2>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='386284' first='Semaj' last='Beals']</h2>   <p>One of the top young quarterbacks in the northeast [player_tooltip player_id='386284' first='Semaj' last='Beals'], had some of the best throws all event. Beals has a smooth release and throws one of the nicest deep balls I have seen all offseason, not just at Super 7v7. Beals was good at making quick decisions and made several impressive throws 20+ yards down the field. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='141010' first='Tyseer' last='Denmark']</h2>   <p>Denmark was one of the most dynamic athletes at the event, and although there were some up and downs with his performance when targeted, nobody was able to showcase more after the catch than Denmark. With his speed and quickness, he simply is a level above most other competition wherever he goes, and his ability to make guys look silly both running routes and with the ball in his hands was on display. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='177710' first='Jah' last='Jah Boyd']</h2>   <p>A DB first, Boyd is one of the smoothest athletes in the tournament who shined on the other side of the ball, showcasing solid skills as a receiver. Boyd's athleticism was the key trait over the weekend but showing some nuanced route running and solid hands were something we did not expect from Boyd headed into the weekend. Boyd was already a top DB prospect, but seeing what he can do as a WR in 7v7 makes you wonder what he could do offensively 11v11 but also validates his overall athleticism being at a very high level. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Philly's Finest</h2>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='264256' first='James' last='Dolan']</h2>   <p>Dolan was all over the field on both sides of the ball for Philly's Finest. Dolan made a number of tough catches and was routinely the go-to guy for Philly'Finest on the offensive side of the ball. Dolan had one of the most impressive INTs in camp on a deep throw to the endzone and showcased not just the ability to perform against top competition but that he athletically was one of the most dynamic players in the tournament. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='386281' first='Yeboa' last='Cobbold Jr.']</h2>   <p>One of the only 2026s that stood out, Boa Cobbold, played DB for the tourney and showed really good instincts to the ball and solid coverage skills. On multiple occasions, having to go up against bigger receivers was a challenge that Cobbold took, and showed great success being physical early in routes and using those solid coverage skills to keep guys within distance to close and make a play at the catch point. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PA Swag</h2>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='598942' first='Braden' last='Reed']</h2>   <p>An injury held Reed to just the first day of competition, but he was on pace to be the top receiver in the entire tournament. Reed may be a little smaller at 5-10, and 165lbs, but he plays much bigger while maintaining elite quickness and agility in his routes. Nobody was really able to create separation like Reed was on Saturday, and if he was available for PA Swag on Sunday, their tournament could have ended in a finals appearance. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='386099' first='Madden' last='Patrick']</h2>   <p>Patrick was a smooth operator at QB for PA Swag, he did a good job of staying in quick and concise rhythm while showcasing really solid ball placement throughout the event. Patrick made throws at all levels of the field and showed he can put some extra velocity on the ball to get through tight windows. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PJ Holmes</h2>   <p>While Reed was the star on day 1, Holmes was the guy on day two for PA Swag. Holmes was the best individual receiver I saw on day two, and his ability to be a threat on all three field levels and after the catch made defenses key in on him. Even with extra safety or linebacker help, corners struggled to stay with Holmes, and his athleticism and route running shined. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">California Power</h2>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Derrick McFall</h2>   <p>Derrick McFall was a RB/WR type of player for Cali Power, and I thought he was one of the most consistent performers throughout. A smooth athlete who was can win with the ball in his hands or win running routes from multiple alignments McFall was just about one of the most consistent players at the event from the reps and games I saw. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jaden Jefferson</h2>   <p>The youngest at the event, 2027 Jaden Jefferson, was very solid in the reps I watched. Jefferson has a smooth quick release and did a good job of making quick decisions with good timing in his drops. While Jefferson and his arm will grow with time, he has incredible arm talent for an 8th grader, and his ability to throw the ball with precise placement and in tight windows was very impressive. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">LaRue Zamorano</h2>   <p>LaRue Zamorano was one of the top defensive backs all event, California Power was one of the top teams there, and part of that was their ability to make opposing quarterbacks hold the ball with solid coverage. Zamorano was one of the best players athletically at the event, and it showed in coverage where his ability to be sticky with wideouts and even showcase really impressive range and closing speed when the ball was in the air really stood out all weekend. </p>
