He started to lock in towards the end of the drill portion, and was feeling himself as the competitions began. Although the blistering heat hindered most players as the camp progressed, B-Erv kept improving as the day went along. He brought the ferociousness he's known for, and was the biggest competitor on the field that I saw all day. He kept everyone in his pocket and let every receiver feel his intensity. He took the most reps of any player I saw, with his massive confidence bolstered by a level of polish that can only be attained by practicing as hard as he does, and learning with and from the best at FSP. I was shocked to learn from coaches that he's still recovering from a foot surgery, but he doesn't believe in excuses and takes full control of his situations. He's showing out regardless and seems to be recovering in a way that'll see him return  to playing at a nationally recognized level sooner than expected. Although Ervin Jr left the weekend without any new offers, he holds a D1 offer from Nevada that could end up being a steal for the Group of 5 University if he accepts.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["402797"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Rico didn't show any signs of the arduous travel he underwent to play in both camps, catching red-eye flights to and from Arizona around his school and Spring Ball schedule. He got out of the car and darted around the field, standing out at both camps but proving himself as one of the top few receivers at the OSU camp as just a freshman. He's long, fast, quick, and seems to be in line for stardom as his biggest competition were the other FSP receivers there. He's got great hands and a humble demeanor, yet can be as flashy as he wants to when flipping the switch. Blassingame holds several Pac-12 offers already and should challenge to be one of the best receivers in the West over the next few years.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='945843' first='Akeem' last='Murph'] Jr","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Rainier Beach","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"After a standout football and track season at Lincoln-Seattle, Murph Jr. will transfer to Rainier Beach to help them contend in Seattle's 3A Metro top division. The sophomore ran a 10.77 100m dash this Spring before joining FSP in early June, making his debut in the blue and gold at the weekend's two camps. He showed his insane burst in individuals and 1-on-1 drills, darting around LBs to gain some of the most separation of anyone at either camp. He showed no signs of fatigue over the hot weekend and kept his head down, getting in front of the line to keep taking as many reps as possible. He's still growing into his hands, as several of his football skills are still very raw; but the instincts and athleticism he showed in the backfield last year looked every bit the part against top competition and have several scouts giddy with excitement. He nabbed his first offer from Arizona shortly after joining FSP and will start collecting D1 opportunities by the handful soon.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["693678"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Noah was my MVP of the 1-on-1 session, flexing his wide toolbox while taking tons of reps. He began by catching an overthrown ball, extending his hands up to perfectly high-point it will taking separation outside, marking himself as a target to watch on the day. He continued by creating mismatches against all of the best players he could find, with his size, speed, quickness, and craftiness making him too good a route-runner for most, and a stronger target than anyone who tried to drape themselves over him in the mid-game. He grabbed an offer from Oregon State, giving him yet another opportunity to excel in an NFL TE factory as he continues one of the biggest blowups of any prospect in 2023. He could be a top-5 tight end in the country before the season starts this fall.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["348149"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"While LaRon wasn't able to lay his signature hits over a weekend of non-padded camps, he honed and proved his other abilities as a defensive back. He already profiles as a great box player and is destined to be a force in the run game at any opportunity, but his performance at OSU was highlighted by his coverage ability. The sophomore might be at a height disadvantage to tight ends, but is finding the very most efficient ways to cover the hardest matchups he could face. He constantly improves his abilities by competing on every rep and could transcend the mold most assume he'll fit in. He put himself in better and better positions as the weekend went along, jumping to the front of the line in 1-on-1s to guard bigger tight ends. Most players are afraid to let their biggest weaknesses show, but LaRon improves them every chance he gets, winning the large majority of his reps against the. He isn't scared to face anybody right now and he certainly won't be when he's playing in D1, as he just continues to sharpen himself against the sharpest iron there is.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648a6805aea3d"} /-->
