One camp going on here in Omaha is the Locker Room camp, featuring several area football teams competing in scrimmages. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I attended today's scrimmages featuring Omaha North vs. Omaha Central and Omaha Burke, Ralston, and Omaha Westview rotated positions on offense and defense. Overall I left impressed by players that were already established, players making strides, and some completely new names that wowed. Check out my quick notes from today's scrimmages.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- The Omaha North defense could shape up to be one of the best in Class A. Even missing some players, the North defense was loaded with talent with names like <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='245889' first='Donovan' last='Jones']</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='245820' first='Nolan' last='Venner']</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='487794' first='Champ' last='Davis']</em></strong>, <strong><em>S'Marious Henderson</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='487609' first='BJ' last='Louis']</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='305112' first='Titan' last='Glassman']</em></strong>, </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- The Omaha Central defensive line looked very solid today. Showing the ability to stop the run and apply QB pressure. Their size was impressive, with a good mix of powerful, big men like <strong><em>Jerry Jackson Jr</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='415238' first='Stephen' last='Owusu'], Osborn Simpson</em></strong>, and <strong><em>Ronnie Graham</em></strong>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- NAME TO KNOW: Omaha North DB <strong><em>Maurice Sherrod</em></strong> is going to open some eyes this season. He played for North a few seasons ago before moving to Texas last year and moving back for his senior season. He's a D1-level cornerback who just picked up an Alabama A&amp;M offer and should continue to rise this summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- The Bulldogs definitely looked more experienced already. The OL and defense were communicating very well and brought intensity with every one of their possessions. Transfer addition <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='250694' first='Jesus' last='Estrada']</em></strong> looked very impressive today. He had several pancake blocks and brought a mean streak to the OL.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Central DL/EDGE <strong><em>Marlon Jones</em></strong> is going to be a name to watch out for. At 6'7" and 225, he has excellent length and athleticism off the edge. Led the Eagles in sacks as a rotational player last season, and it was his first season playing football. MASSIVE upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Westview QB <strong><em>Luke Shaffar</em></strong> looks ready to have a breakout season. He showed several flashes of his arm talent, including a very impressive deep touchdown. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Central Junior DE/TE <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='318987' first='Ike' last='Ackerman']</em></strong> looks like a beast. Right off the bat, he looked noticeably taller and stronger. Even with the added size, he still looked like a great athlete on the field, with tons of explosiveness coming off the ball and aggressiveness with his pursuit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- I didn't get to watch the first-team Ralston offense today, but the two underclassmen QBs, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1114621' first='Landen' last='Buechler']</em></strong> and another QB whose name I didn't catch, each led scoring drives. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- QB <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='487569' first='BJ' last='Newsome']</em></strong> is going to have an embarrassment of riches at receiver. <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='398153' first='Marcellous' last='Lloyd']</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='318990' first='Aamir' last='Hill']</em></strong>, <strong><em>Andrew</em></strong> &amp; <strong><em>Jordan</em></strong> <strong><em>Brown</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='318989' first='Alijah' last='Wayne']</em></strong>, and <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='318987' first='Ike' last='Ackerman']</em></strong> are now joined by Benson transfers <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='212372' first='DaShawn' last='Prince']</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='487795' first='Avry' last='Harris']</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='305110' first='Anthony' last='Liggins']</em></strong>, <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='326866' first='DJ' last='Sterling']</em></strong>. I'm probably still leaving out quite a few playmakers too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Burke C <strong><em>Joey Myers</em></strong> was another OL that looked great today. He used his hands and leverage very well while also being very physical. Joey was also a vocal leader when the team needed one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Make sure to follow @PrepRedzoneNE on Twitter and Instagram to stay up to date with all your Nebraska prep recruiting news.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
