He anticipates break points and closes on routes with natural quickness and length.

He's a quick, fluid athlete that's sticky in coverage and shows natural instincts as a CB. He was highly competitive in 1v1s, impressing with his ball skills and ability to consistently produce PBUs.

He is very muscular for his age and has the frame to add plenty of size if he chooses to do so. He is fast off the edge and was excited to face the high school players.

Our Michael Huntley said, u003cemu003eu0022Hildebrand is an eighth grader in Arizona who is going to Basha High School next season. He stood out because of his size and multiple coaches pointed him out to me throughout the camp.

Abraham's a 7th grader (class of 2028) from Arizona that took reps at both RB and DB. He's a natural athlete that flashed quick reactions and change-of-direction in 1v1s. He mirrors patterns well and drives with force out of his break. Abraham starts high school in the fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Staying out west, California 2027 prospect <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='797086' first='Blake' last='Fiacco']</strong> did a nice job at the Prep Redzone Rising Prospect camp. Our Michael Huntley said of his performance, <em>"Fiacco was one of two eighth graders to earn MVP honors on Sunday. He drew positive reactions from the coaches during the one-on-one period. He won a lot of reps against older offensive linemen due to his quick hands and club move.His athleticism and movement will improve as he gets older, but he is advanced for an eighth grader and I liked that he didn't back down against older and bigger competition."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In North Carolina, <strong>Jared Street</strong> continued to show at a very young age (2027 prospect) that he is talented beyond many of his peers. He grabbed scouts attention at the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/2023-hbcu-carolinas-showcase-top-quarterbacks/">HBCU Carolina Showcase </a>with is his anticipation in throwing 1 on 1's with receivers he has never worked with. It is very impressive that he can get the ball with very good accuracy in tight windows already. Street currently holds reported offers from Campbell and Catawba. As he continues to mature physically, I expect to see exponential growth in his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the first-ever <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/05/prep-redzone-arkansas-showcase-guys-that-opened-eyes/">Arkansas Prep Redzone Rising Prospect Camp</a>, 2027 quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='594778' first='Slade' last='Norwood']</strong> looked good. Our Tom Tabler said, <em>"The Farmington signal caller continues to have a strong camp circuit. Norwood showcased a strong arm that was not impacted by windy conditions on Sunday. He fit the ball into some tight windows. Norwood continues to hammer out the details and has the potential to light up Friday nights in the future.
