DR7 Orlando — Notable Defensive Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the 7v7 season begins to take off and college camps follow close behind, our scout Drew Johnson will be on the move to track down Real Deal Stock Risers and Players to Watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='222904' first='Trenton' last='Gummer'] | DB | 2026 | Bishop Moore | @trentongummer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've had the chance to watch this 2026 DOG develop in the past year and he's shown nothing but lockdown tendencies and the ability to be a playmaking ball hawk. Gummer looks smooth in coverage because of his solid technique and physicality with his hands. He made a few notable reads for PBUs and was one of the top DB standouts of the weekend.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='852993' first='Dillano' last='Glaud'] | LB | 2025 | @DillanoGlaud0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A slept-on stud that I've watched display some positives and versatility to his game. He will have another year to shape and mold his frame to be even more of an impact player this coming season but Glaud has been solid on the offseason 7v7 circuit. Has a lot of determination to develop his game and is someone to keep an eye on with his overall development/recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1229087' first='DeAnthony' last='Caldwell'] | DB | 2025 | Tampa Bay Tech | @De4nthonycaldw1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caldwell is a 6-0, 185-pound slept-on defensive back that displayed a college-ready frame combined with fluid hips and solid technique this weekend on the DR7 circuit. The 7v7 setting allows us to key in on potential risers that deserve the recognition. This kid for sure has the tools to make an impact where he can build on his recruitment as the spring period approaches.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1128598' first='Bryce' last='Backus'] | 2026 | Athlete | Mitchell&nbsp; | @BackusBryce2&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Solid weekend for Backus who showed his versatility on both sides of the ball and potential to be a riser in the 2026 class. He came up with two notable game-changing interceptions this weekend while showing his skills to make high IQ reads and playmaking takeaways.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Eshawn Sutton | DB | 2026 | Winter Park | @EShawnSutton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid Sutton put together a montage worth of clips guarding premier wide receiver talent. He made a recent move to DB where he's been a notable riser in the 2026 class with plenty of time to work on frame and technique.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Joseph Tesoriero | DB | 2027 | TMA | @showtimejoe16</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seems as if Tesoriero grows at each tournament and continues to be one of the better rising lockdown DBs. This kid will be a problem in years to come. A freshman DB product with a good frame and IQ already to make it happen at the position. One I got circled on my riser list for sure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notables&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carmari Solomon | DB | 2027 | Oviedo | @Carmari_Solomon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kwauantace Joseph | DB | @Tez_is_him</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
