7 new(er) eye-catchers from Archbishop Shaw Jamboree

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone Louisiana had the chance to catch a couple matchups at Archbishop Shaw's jamboree this past week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brother Martin and St. Augustine edged John Ehret and the home-standing Eagles, respectively, in a pair of lower-scoring defensive battles, 10-6 and 13-9.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each team includes some relatively well-known college talent —&nbsp;including some notable commits —&nbsp;but here are a few notes on "seven" — at least to start, with several additional names included — other newer, younger or less heavily covered names. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1348424' first='Vashaun' last='Coulon'] | 5-10, 140 QB/DB | St. Augustine (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably the most memorable story of the evening, as the sophomore converted safety was called upon to step into the quarterback role late as senior starter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='139262' first='Dawson' last='Simmons']</strong>, already with a long touchdown run, was forced to exit. "Tig" shook off an interception and showed some poise and confidence in a pivotal moment to drop back and find Indiana-committed tight end <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='421605' first='Hubert' last='Caliste'] Jr.</strong> for the go-ahead score and helped provide enough passing balance to <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='900866' first='Moses' last='Gray Jr.']</strong>'s night rushing to claim the victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='401948' first='Clinton' last='Hill Jr.'] | 5-11, 175 DB/LB | St. Augustine (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Purple Knights' defense is loaded with talent, including several seniors from <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='285270' first='Cornell' last='Harris'] Jr.</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901109' first='LaDavion' last='Walls']</strong> — who recovered a fumble — up front back to <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901111' first='Michael' last='Malone']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1335970' first='Frederick' last='Lewis']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='655272' first='Charles' last='Gurley III']</strong> (who intercepted a pass) in the secondary. And <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212341' first='Jahkeem' last='Stewart']</strong>, who had several big plays including a forced fumble, headlines the underclassmen not only in the program, but in the state. But another 2026 prospect who has continued to step up throughout the offseason is the young safety/linebacker, who helped cap the jamboree with a third-down breakup and fourth-down pressure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kendell Johnson | 6-2, 210 DL | John Ehret (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"Chunky" was a quick, active rusher for the Patriots from his defensive end position, including an early sack that helped the team take early control. Johnson is one of the members of the defense who hasn't gotten as much coverage as some of his teammates, but looks to be a leading playmaker in the box to help complement the talented secondary. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Corey McDonald | 5-11, 180 LB/DB | Brother Martin (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the members of another promising Brother Martin defense that we haven't previously highlighted, the junior outside backer/safety hybrid had a nice evening moving well laterally in coverage and helping close some passing lanes and in particular in his high-motor pursuit as a rusher to help apply some pressure and speed up the Patriots' backfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='913900' first='Jasper' last='Parker'] | 6-1, 190 RB | Archbishop Shaw (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The confidence in Archbishop Shaw's quick return to legitimate title contender in legendary coach Hank Tierney's second year back on the Westbank starts with a potentially special defense. But the Eagles have their share of weapons on the other side of the ball, including a big, physical back with some good burst in Parker who should serve as a perfect complement to the efforts of his many standout teammates — such as <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='678290' first='Jayden' last='Scott']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='912251' first='Sheldon' last='Green']</strong> (forced fumble for a safety) and several standout defensive backs — on the other side of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brian Vlosich | 5-10, 210 OL | Brother Martin (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The undersized lineman, a converted tight end, has worked his way into the Crusaders' rotation up front and was working his tail off Friday in some reps at either tackle position. Vlosich consistently slowed down John Ehret pass-rushers to help provide quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1221235' first='Seth' last='Dazet']</strong> opportunities to look downfield and particularly stood out in his run blocking on <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901115' first='Jordan' last='West']</strong>'s touchdown scamper when he and returning standout <strong>Balpreet Parmar</strong> helped clear the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1221203' first='Mason' last='Wilson'] | 5-11, 180 QB/ATH | Archbishop Shaw (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior quarterback wasn't a member of the resurgent Eagles' program that got as much attention this offseason, but Wilson showed some flashes — particularly with his threat as a rusher, pairing well with Parker — of why he's the guy Tierney and company trust at the help of a team with high expectations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
