Consistent stemming out of Burnside, there’s attention to leverage when approaching the top of his routes. His stemming abilities shine in short-intermediate route concepts that utilize his quick burst and balance. This kid is a tough target to man-up against, he’s smart enough to understand when and where to sit against zone defense as well. He’s a nightmare to account for in 7v7 settings. Burnside displayed stronger hands than I anticipated as well.
Highlights
9. Far and away my favorite 15U quarterback prospect, there were some great ones out there too. Maverick Chance Maverick Chance 6’0″ | 170 lbs | QB Ravenwood | 2026 TN showed off a complete skillset, checking off as many boxes as a quarterback possibly can in a 7v7 setting. I got a chance to see him lead and work up close. I was enamored with his entire pre-snap thought process. Chance has a clear understanding of where he needs to go with the football and why, all before taking the snap. Signs of an advanced QB no matter the setting. Chance showed off the highest arm talent ceiling of the 15U bunch, again, that’s saying something considering who he went up against. Plenty of torque in his hips, a seasoned and trained release, Maverick Chance Maverick Chance 6’0″ | 170 lbs | QB Ravenwood | 2026 TN exuded confidence on nearly every throw. He takes the top QB spot.
Highlights
7. Mason Bryant Mason Bryant 5’8″ | 175 lbs | ATH Father Ryan | 2025 State TN and Tristan Johnson put forth the best performances among any 15U DBs. Bryant’s two-way capabilities cemented his spot on this list. All game, no talking out of Bryant, the Father Ryan DB/ATH who was a nightmare for any wideout lining up across from him. Bryant was kicked inside to either slot positions. Great blend of instincts, athleticism, and physicality. Any catch made when manned up against Bryant, or even in his zone, should have been applauded. Active hands made him a pesky defender to deal with when targetted underneath 15 yards. The young man can run with speed downfield too. Bryant turned the heads of many coaches in attendance, mine included.
Samson Gash

6. Samson Gash is a “How is he so open?” type of wideout. Incredible pacing throughout his routes, it helps that Gash is a multi-alignment type of wideout, every DB is going to have to face him at some point. Gash can take the top off a defense, changing gears to accelerate past safeties downfield. Gash can exploit miscommunications outside the numbers or down the middle of a defense. Fabulous vertical threat who can clearly track the ball well. One of the best producers out of the 15U group, Gash attacks DB leverage with a purpose, that being getting downfield in a hurry. Not deterred by physicality, Gash should not be given a free release at the LOS, the defense is at a loss immediately if he does manage this.
5. Kevin Williams Kevin Williams 5’9″ | 160 lbs | ATH Central Arkansas Christian | 2026 State AR places as the second-highest ranking athlete in his class. It all makes sense after watching him perform at MCM7v7 in Tennessee. Align Williams anywhere in a 7v7 setting, expect him to produce. Ask him to run any route tree amongst any route concept, this athlete will stretch the field or make kids miss underneath. What a weapon at Keller’s disposal, arguably one of the better pure football prospects at this event. Give Williams a ball downfield, he’s got the stride to separate and the pure hands to make kids look silly. Give him dump-offs near the LOS, Williams has the acceleration and speed to break DB angles in a 7v7 setting. One of my favorite prospects that I uncovered, one that I’ll be sure to keep an eye on moving forward. No offers as of yet, that will change.
Marquez Daniel

4. Top five performance out of Marquez Daniel. What’s crazy is, I think the 6’5 freshman actually left some meat on the bone at this event. Daniel could have easily taken the top spot considering some of the catches he reeled in as well as some of the catches he didn’t reel in. What I place him on this list is hardly important in the grand scheme of things, that being said, I hope Daniel realizes just how special of a ball player he could be. I was happy to hear that Daniel was offered by Penn State, I see the potential they see in the young man. 6’5, a catch radius that extends as far as his long wing span can stretch, Daniel showed off his ability to high-point the football like many of us expected he can. I got to see his stride up close, he’s a must-cover outside the numbers. Daniel recently picked up an offer from Tuskegee Univeristy, on the same night of Day one.
Jacoby Quates

3. Marquez Daniel’s ability to garner enough DB attention allows guys like Jones and Quates to eat in the middle of the field. Jacoby Quates did just that. Every time I looked up, Quates was catching a football and making kids miss in a one-hand-touch setting. If you want to know about a kid’s change of direction ability, his acceleration, or his short area burst, watch them in a 7v7 and see if kids can’t tag him with one hand. This is the kind of athleticism Quates is working with. As I said, Quates eats because of the ridiculous amount of talent that defenses have to account for. In one tournament it could be Jones, next it could be Quates or Daniel. Either way, someone on Gas Crew Elite is going to be open. That man at this event was Jacoby Quates.
Tristan Johnson

2. The 15U Champions are represented here, as two prospects, both on opposite sides of the ball, land as the top two performers from an event where the duo went undefeated. Tristan Johnson put forth a fabulous performance at corner, beating out the likes of Mason Bryant Mason Bryant 5’8″ | 175 lbs | ATH Father Ryan | 2025 State TN and Kaliq Robinson. A technician, Johnson was poised at corner, running with speed downfield if he had to, or serving as a nuisance under 15-yards where he can play a bit more physical. An all-around masterpiece put together by the sophomore out of Fishers HS. His build bolsters his ability to both absorb and dish out physicality. Great at the LOS, you’re going to feel this young man at some point of your route. He locked down his side of the field and made sure no big plays were allowed.
1. The top spot had to be given to the most valuable player among a group that went 6-0 on the weekend. That prospect being Avon HS’s Shawn Curry. Arguably the best route-runner at the event, Curry flaunted incredible separation skills both in short areas as well as downfield. The perfect weapon for this offense, Curry, coupled with spectacular play-calling and design, was pretty much open at will. I can’t count the number of clutch catches he and Cameron connected on throughout the event. Curry ended up demoralizing many defenses that hoped to slow down the TFP Flite Boyz. Hardly anything thrown at Curry phased him. He takes the top spot as my overall 15U MVP.
