Jayden Broadie, 2028 DL — Broadie has the makings of an athletic freak. He’s got great size already and phenomenal footwork. He fires off the ball, powering explosive movements with elite strength through the center of his body. Only a 2028, Broadie is going to be a nightmare matchup for OLs for years to come.
Tre Blakeney Tre Blakeney 5'7" | 150 lbs | ATH SC , 2028 QB — Blakeney was one of the more exciting prospects from the event. Just a 2028, he stands up athletically with the best QBs there. He’ll surely continue to add size as he gets older, but he’s already got the feel and the footwork to be an effective pocket passer, able to evade rushers and get the ball downfield.
Xavier Hasan Xavier Hasan 5'11" | 170 lbs | DB Cardinal Gibbons | 2027 NC , 2027 DB — Xavier put himself in elite company with his speed at the event. When he gets going, there are very few that have the natural athleticism to keep up. He’s a smooth, effortless athlete.
Sam Holliday Sam Holliday 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Fountain Inn | 2027 SC , 2027 QB — Holliday brought a great feel to the QB position at the Rising Prospect Tour he had great footwork in the shuttle drills to go with excellent size.
Kanye Reed, 2027 WR — Reed is a QB’s best friend. The 2027 WR stands at nearly 6′ already, and is adept at using his frame to create space and haul down passes. His speed testing numbers were more than enough to be a threat in the deep game, too.
Jaiden Hodge Jaiden Hodge 5'11" | 270 lbs | OL St. Frances | 2027 State MD , 2027 DL — Making the trip up from Virginia, Hodge showed what makes him a valuable two-way offensive and defensive lineman prospect in this 2027 class. Strong base, agile feet for a big man. Effort was through the roof all camp.
