<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the Prep Redzone Next Middle School Camp in Murfreesboro this past Saturday, it's time to look back at some of the most explosive standouts that showcased their talent on the field in a big way. In addition to garnering the interest of their positional coaches as well as the scouts on site, these guys walked away from the event as MVPs for their commanding effort, raising their stock while proving themselves as top tier playmakers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1037302"],"_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":"At the top of my list of standouts is [player_tooltip player_id='1037302' first='Thomas' last='Heffner'], who took home MVP for being one of the top quarterback during the camp. Heffner proved his athleticism and speed during the early stages of camp before later impressing in positional drills. In addition to outstanding arm strength and the ability to execute deep passes, what impressed me about Heffner was his ability to read his receivers in coverage and complete challenging passes. Based on his pin-point accuracy in the air, it's no surprise that Heffner walked away as the one of the top gunslingers.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659b3f95e05de"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1030085"],"_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":1139778,"_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":"I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='1030085' first='Maximus' last='Curry'], who picked up MVP for being the most oustanding wide receiver in the house. On top of great size and speed, what stands out about Curry is his footwork and versatile edge. During positional drills, Curry made his presence known down the stretch, proving his ability to utilize bursts of speed to fly down the field and haul in the deep pass. Another aspect of Curry that impressed was his ability to overpower defensive backs, showing of his physicality and ability to elevate off the ground to make crucial catches.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659b3f95e0644"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["988295"],"_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":1139780,"_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":"Claiming the number three spot on my list is Jordon Ward, who also collected an MVP award for being the best running back at the event.
