This next batch of pass-catchers left an impression at this event. Great players in their own right, they were identified as strong performers by the coaching staff working the camp. With nearly 300 prospects, I cannot catch everyone’s rep!

Scout’s Notes: Standout Receivers
The thing that stood out the most to me about Hernandez was how he ran consistently sharp routes. By doing so he often abandoned defenders a step or two behind, leaving him open. Sometimes defenders closed in and sometimes there were errant throws, but Hernandez always competed and got himself open with a high frequency due to how clean, crips, sharp, and how he breaks off his routes.
The lone Keystone State pass-catcher on today’s list also happens to be a tight end. With a big body, Semmel has ideal size to be an in-line tight end and also the athleticism to run routes and be a QB’s safety blanket. Semmel did a nice body leveraging his big frame to box out defenders’ access to the ball. What I feel put Semmel over the top though was his ability to high point the ball. So to recap, he does a nice job impeding the defense’s path to the ball with his large frame and he can go up top to make a reception. How would you defend Semmel?
LeMay was already identified by the coaches as a defensive back who preformed well, but what made the Cherokee product standout was his blazing speed. LeMay ran the hand-timed 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds. This was easily the best time at the clinic, and for certain a key factor that led to him to consistently win matchups on either side of the ball.
