New England Stock _Up: “WR” Top Performers & MVP’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Redzone Stock Up Showcase came through Weymouth, MA this past weekend. Our showcases are a great opportunity for high school football prospects to get exposure in front of college coaches and Prep Redzone scouts. Testing results were recorded for colleges across the country to access following the event. With Prep Redzone scouts in attendance, dedicated to highlighting top performers, players received unparalleled&nbsp;coverage during, and after the event on&nbsp; PrepRedzone.com and social media. After check-in, athletes attending were broken into three portions: testing, position-specific&nbsp;drills, and 1-on-1 competition. Testing included the 40-yard dash (hand-timed),&nbsp;pro shuttle (hand-timed), L Drill (hand-timed), and broad jump.&nbsp;We will be releasing these results here on the site in another publication. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The showcase ended with notable top performers being recognized and ended with the selection of an MVP for each position. <strong>The prospects below were selected as the Top Performers and MVP amongst the Wide Receiver group</strong>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["943092"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Top PerformerrnrnCollin Christiansenrnrnu003cstrongu003eTop Wide Receiver Performeru003c/strongu003e: The freshman is coming off a 2023 season where he earned varsity playing time at the New England Prep Level. His frame easily caught my attention. At 6'3u0022 and being as athletic as he is, he will get any coach excited to see him perform in a live evaluation setting, He displayed very good range combined with good eye and hand coordination.u003ca href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/Collin-Christiansen-crop-4765x3129-1702321839.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022alignnone wp-image-1111768u0022 src=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/Collin-Christiansen-crop-4765x3129-1702321839.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022207u0022 height=u0022135u0022 /u003eu003c/au003ernrnHis early varsity years has surely helped him in his development and confidence to play at a high level. He doesn't let the ball hit his body and can pluck the ball from the air with ease. He is a QB dream target and can make difficult catches look easy.

I saw several traits that I liked about his performance.  I'll start with toughness.  He flashed a desire to hightop any ball when needed to secure the catch. Has soft, reliable and natural catching ability.  In several reps, he flashed his ability to adjust to the ball in the air. Throw in his higher level body control and balance with a hard jab step that allows him to change direction quickly with the ball after the catch, and he is a threat to get big YAC. Has an athletic frame to continue developing.u003ca href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/Reidar-Davies-Jr-crop-4186x2749-1702323084.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022alignnone wp-image-1111811u0022 src=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/Reidar-Davies-Jr-crop-4186x2749-1702323084.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022213u0022 height=u0022139u0022 /u003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65773d23b922d"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734370"],"_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":1111931,"_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":"Derrick Scottrnrnu003cstrongu003eTop Wide Receiver Performeru003c/strongu003e: He caught the attention of positional coaches during the competitive period. His performance had him close to being named WR MVP at this camp. A promising young man out of Brookfield HS in Connecticut was a pleasure to Evaluate. He performed at a high level throughout the showcase.  His most impressive play was during one one-on-one drills at the end when he faced a top-selected db.  He was able to flash his experience in getting off press man coverage and execute crisp route running skills.  He made a very impressive back-shoulder catch that made many go u0022wow' as he laid his body out to do so.

His last rep at WR was seen as a higher-level graded rep.rnrnThis rep was impressive, as he was being pressed by an experienced DB and he used his obvious burst with quickness to get a clean release. While running the go route, he gave a nice breakdown fake to give the defender something to think about in short area, then used a burst of acceleration to pull away from his defender and make a nice catch in stride downfield.  An experienced route that made it easy for me to give him the MVP honors on the day. u003ca href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/Herlin-perry-crop-2739x1798-1702329152.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-1111961u0022 src=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/Herlin-perry-crop-2739x1798-1702329152.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022197u0022 /u003eu003c/au003ernrnI've had the pleasure to see him perform a few times in an evaluation setting during spring 2023, and he has always shown a very good understanding of both WR and DB position skills.  He also was a top performer amongst the DB groups during this showcase.  Versatile athlete.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65773d23b93d7"} /-->
