Continue ReadingZion Gist immediately captured my attention the moment he set foot on the field on Sunday. Standing at 6’0″ and weighing in at 187 lbs, he exudes an impressive presence. His performance during running back drills was impressive, showcasing impeccable footwork and agility that set him apart. What truly stood out, was his versatility on display during the one-on-one sessions with linebackers. Running precise routes, he effortlessly demonstrated his ability to run clean routes and ability to catch. I believe his recruiting will heat up this offseason.
Keeling Murray
Keeling Murray
Keeling Murray stood out as the most athletic prospect at the showcase this weekend, showcasing impressive numbers during the testing portion. Notably, he clocked the fastest 40-yard dash at an impressive 4.57 seconds and recorded the best broad jump at 10 inches. Murray’s athletic prowess wasn’t confined to the testing; he demonstrated exceptional agility during routes on air and excelled in one-on-ones. His speed allows him to create significant separation from defensive backs, making him a difficult to cover in man coverage. I look forward to watching Murray develop as a player in the years to come.
Petar Strbac

The showcase on Sunday featured a lot of talented offensive linemen, but Petar Strbac stole the spotlight. Possessing a substantial and athletic physique, Strbac distinguished himself by running one of the fastest 40-yard dashes among offensive linemen, clocking in at an impressive 5.0 seconds. Throughout the day, he consistently showcased quick footwork and good technique, particularly excelling in pass protection situations. His combination of size, athleticism, and technical prowess sets him apart as a promising prospect worth keeping a close eye on.
Highlights
In a showcase with only a handful of tight ends, Brady Goken emerged as a standout at his position. Goken showcased smoothness while running his routes, utilizing his significant stature to secure contested catches effectively. His performance in 1-on-1 situations was particularly noteworthy, highlighting his versatility to line up as a wide receiver as well. One of Goken’s distinctive attributes is his long arms, providing him with an impressive catch radius. I will be keeping an eye on Goken this up coming season.
