From the seven, four teams made it to the final four with a chance to make it to the championships. I will be covering some standout athletes from those top four teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The second team review is the tournament runner-up Grand Island Senior High. The Islanders brought a solid group of players down to compete in Crete, with great two-way players, strong senior leaders, and dynamic young talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":876668,"width":452,"height":301,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/IMG_9270.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-876668" width="452" height="301" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='876586' first='Bode' last='Albers'] | 2024 | QB | 6'4" 170 bs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14190658/Bode-Albers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/AlbersBode" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Bode will be the likely starter for the Islanders this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- He had a very good day, orchestrating solid drives for the Islanders and making good decisions with the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Bode did a great job moving through his reads and did a great job distributing the ball to several different receivers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Solid accuracy over the middle of the field and had some great throws into tight windows.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":876592,"width":457,"height":304,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/IMG_9248.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-876592" width="457" height="304" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Trey Engberg | 2024 | DB/ATH | 5'10" 160 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14538959/Trey-Engberg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Ty took home Camp Defensive MVP honors as selected by the coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Engberg took over one of the outside corner spots and did a great job against some of the top receivers at the tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Very good with his hand use. He closes on the ball quickly and was consistent at getting his hands up to break up the pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Solid footwork and fluidity in coverage with great instincts and awareness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":876692,"width":454,"height":303,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/IMG_9272.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-876692" width="454" height="303" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='402160' first='Nelsyn' last='Wheeler'] | 2026 | WR | 5'9" 180 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17738571/Nelsyn-Wheeler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Nelsyn026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- One of the very exciting players in a strong Islander's 2026 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Nelsyn's explosiveness off the ball, along with his quickness, footwork, and agility when running routes, make him a huge asset in the passing game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Wheeler has top-tier speed that he uses to get behind the defense and break loose for long receptions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- He did a great job creating separation from defenders and can identify soft spots in the defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Strong, reliable hands!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":876690,"width":457,"height":304,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/IMG_9242.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-876690" width="457" height="304" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='250293' first='Caleb' last='Richardson'] | 2024 | RB/ATH | 5'10" 170 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14538980/Caleb-Richardson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Caleb_Richy4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- The majority of Caleb's touches this fall will likely be rushing attempts, but he really showed off his receiving skills on Monday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- He not only displayed great hands but also did a lot of damage after the catch. Caleb used his quick twitch to bounce plays to the outside, where he could burst and finish in the endzone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Caleb also runs a solid route tree, not just relying on check-down passes or plays where he needs to be put in the open field. He can stretch the field vertically and make plays in the short and intermediate-range too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":876588,"width":455,"height":303,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/IMG_9246.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-876588" width="455" height="303" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='876585' first='Hunter' last='Hanquist'] | 2024 | DB/WR | </em>5'8" 180 lbs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14538977/Hunter-Hanquist" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Hunter_Hanquist" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Hunter did a great job at safety, helping keep big plays to a minimum.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- He is physical at the catch point and doesn't give up many easy receptions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Hanquist flashed good instincts when making a play on the ball and even came up with a few turnovers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- He's very shifty and twitchy, which helps him in coverage and when he's in the slot on offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- I went to Hunter's Hudl to check out his game in pads and was pleasantly surprised. He plays downhill very well, is a great tackler, can drop in coverage, rush the edge, and step into the box to defend the run.
