“Athlete” Standout’s From: M2 QB Academy Showdown . Part 3.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This past weekend, <strong>M2 QB Academy</strong> held their annual Showdown Showcase at Stonehill College in Massachusetts with college coaches in attendance. A showcase that began five years ago by Owner/Trainer Mike McCarthy and his staff. The event's mission purpose is to showcase and provide a stage for New England's top Qb's they train, and those who want to learn more about the qb position training they provide to recruits on a yearly basis. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The event continues to grow each year with additional high-profile qb's receivers and defensive back recruits coupled with many all-level college coaches that attend. This year, the 2023 showcase was no disappointment and is surely on track to be a annual premier showcase that many New England recruits and national college coaches from all levels will want to attend next year. The showcase allows wide receivers and defensive backs to showcase their athletic abilities in a very controlled and safe environment with plenty of opportunity for reps. The staff recognizes top athlete performers and hands out Awards &amp; MVP on the last day. This includes observation of these athletes during both days. Top Performers and MVP will be featured in another report coming soon. The following athletes were standouts that caught my eyes... This is part 3 of a 3-part series on the standout athlete performers, I observed during the event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861251"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":861395,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='861251' first='Markus' last='Andrews']   A name not known to me prior to this event.  His quickness and ability to plant and break away from defenders caught my attention. u003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-861394u0022 src=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/Markus-andrews.jpg?w=225u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022225u0022 height=u0022300u0022 /u003ernrnVery smooth runner with good field vision.  Can play slot of wide.  Experienced route runner.  Has the ability to track the ball, use his body to block defenders, and make the big play.
