Top 30 Performances from the PA Classic 7v7 18U Tourn, 10-1

10. Wingmen

There wasn’t a QB present, outside of Tre Henning Tre Henning 6’0″ | 190 lbs | QB St. Joseph’s Prep | 2025 State PA , that was more willing to test incredibly tight windows. We are talking about Charlie Foulke here, the top-ranked 2027 passer in Pennsylvania. Foulke continues to progress, with events like this providing the young QB an opportunity to run sets he’s likely to run in the Fall and build both familiarity and chemistry with his wideouts. From my perspective, he did just that. Impeccable timing, a rhythm you don’t see out of Freshman passers. It’s a testament to the work put in by both Foulke and the coaching staff, I could make the case that Charlie looked the best out of the SJP trio present. You can check out his passing compilation below. I speak more about his connection with Rameir Hardy Rameir Hardy 6’2″ | 180 lbs | WR St. Joseph’s Prep | 2025 State PA later on in this piece.

Played beside Kindall Brown, an athlete whose name you’ll see featured lower on this list. Safety reps from what I recall, yet a body/build that could be tasked with playing any DB alignment, especially in a 7v7 setting. Oustanding feet and balance, Williams was witnessed reading his half-field, moving laterally as he saw fit, and exploding onto the football when targetted. Fantastic build, one suitable for DB, Willliams Jr. was able to force windows closed, especially reads that wanted to work the middle of the field. Great sense for in-breaking routes, breaks on the ball like a hawk to prey. I didn’t get to see many passers challenge Williams deep, so I can’t speak on his range/running skills. Still, Caleb Holfoth, as well as myself, raved about the skillset this young man brings to the table. Likely an even better football player on Friday nights.

8. Wingmen

Easily make the case for Tre Henning Tre Henning 6’0″ | 190 lbs | QB St. Joseph’s Prep | 2025 State PA as the best overall QB performance. What stood out most watching the soon-to-be senior work up close, how quickly he got rid of the football. There’s a lot of deserved talk about how 7v7 creates bad habits, primarily habits that lead to QBs holding onto the football too long. The Wingmen and Tre Henning Tre Henning 6’0″ | 190 lbs | QB St. Joseph’s Prep | 2025 State PA understood the assignment, they came out and worked relevant sets, focused on Henning making the correct read and getting rid of the football promptly. Henning, the now seasoned vet, did just that. Caught the snap, read his key defender and delivered an accurate ball, this was throughout both days. Can’t ask for more than this. Henning was able to sprinkle in a game-winning drive against an unreal OH defense filled to the brim with stud DBs/LBs. This is how every offense should operate in this setting, not every offense has a Tre Henning Tre Henning 6’0″ | 190 lbs | QB St. Joseph’s Prep | 2025 State PA behind center.

7. Wingmen

I’m well aware of Alijah Turner Alijah Turner 5’10” | 180 lbs | WR St. Joseph’s Prep | 2025 State PA the route runner. I’m aware of Turner the separator, Turner the wideout who can accelerate past slot DBs. I figured the junior wideout would be too much to handle at this event, I was right. I did learn a thing or two. Much focus is paid to the body control and subtleties that come with Turner getting open. The young man can get open in a phone booth, he’s shown that on tape. I was, however, impressed with some of the catches Turner was able to come down with. Catches made away from his body, high above his head, catches made through traffic or in awkward body angles. Turner flashed trustworthy hands that likely calmed Henning and Jackson down a bit. Knowing they had an option like Turner to throw to has to provide comfort/security. Love the variation in terms of routes run as well. Turner scored from the slot working seam benders and over routes, Turner scored running slot fades, comebacks, corner routes, the tree has certainly grown. Should bode well for his future.

This is how an FBS prospect should perform at an event like this. Dominant front to back, start to finish. I came into this event excited to see some Ohio talent, specifically a prospect like Kindall Brown, he’s already decorated and well-known out West. All this being said, the kid impressed me beyond what I would have expected. I’m not sure Brown missed a single assignment, let alone any catches given up on his accord. A mixture of man/zone coverage, a mix of alignments too, primarying at safety but coming down and playing the slot if need be in some games. More than his interceptions and PBUs, I came away impressed with Brown’s physicality, vocalness, and IQ. Watching him weave between zones, watching him lockdown wideouts with annoying hands and phenomenal lateral agility, the complete Brown package was a joy to watch this past weekend. I can’t say more, he put forth the top defensive performance in my opinion.

5. AIT

Bishop McDevitt’s Dominic Diaz was practically unguardable all event. Diaz was a blur in terms of speed, the kid got out of his stance with the purpose of scoring, he did that on numerous occasions. Diaz’s two-way performance, doubling as a DB, gives him the top-five nod over the rest. Attitude and confidence, Diaz-Ellis showed off a bit of alpha to his game. I’m here for this version of DDE, the young man ran by kids left and right, having no problem telling those kids about it after scoring too. I don’t have a problem with this approach so long as your game backs it up, it sure as hell did. I have to take 7v7 performances with a grain of salt, yet I came away impressed with the junior. DDE fit right in with the likes of Hardy, Coke, and many other studs present. I feel much better about his ranking knowing he can go toe-to-toe with great prospects from out of state.

4. Wingmen

The best pair of hands at the event, plain and simple. Couldn’t keep up with the amount of TDs scored, the same goes for XPs and catches overall. Charlie Foulke got to work with Hardy, the two clicking and making things look easy. Hardy’s frame makes him a nightmare in this setting, especially inside of 10-15 yards. Hardy and Foulke working pylon comeback routes on the move was a thing of beauty. Watching Hardy carry his weight like a butterfly had me shaking my head each and every time the duo worked this route. A variation of said route has Hardy showing comeback, then releasing to the back pylon. Foulke and Hardy could have scored on any DB at this event working this route concept. When Hardy wasn’t making kids look silly from a technical standpoint, he was bullying defenders physically. Often too big and too strong for DBs to deter him at the catch point, or throughout the duration of his route, early or late. The alpha of the event, double-digit touchdowns scored between two days. Glad I got to see him work up close, always a pleasure.

3. Jersey Tough

The top two QBs went on to meet in the Championship. Tough for me to put into words how impressed I was with Willingboro’s Lamar Best. As a writer, I’ll do my best to give it a shot. I was told beforehand by a coach that Lamar Best is one of the best leaders you’ll find behind center in New Jersey. I was told the young man was different from IQ perspective. Everything told to me beforehand, played itself out in front of me in real time. Consistently blown away by how he operated in the huddle. Best was calling out assignments to defensive players, Best was doing his “best” to make sure his wideouts understood the play that was called, urging them to hustle, the epitome of a vocal leader. I will say this, being vocal and leading by example won’t get you to play college football, if that were the case I might have a few Heisman Trophies myself. Best mirrors his exemplary intangibles with unreal anticipation and accuracy skills. best showed off great depth perception skills, often throwing balls downfield where only his man could make a play. Deadly accurate inside of ten yards, numerous darts thrown between defenders’ hands, as well as through traffic. Love Best from a base perspective. Hips are alive, feet keep everything contained, is a pocket climber even in this setting. I could go on and on about this young man’s performance, he left a lasting impression on me, as well as my colleague Caleb Holfoth. Would have likely made him tourney MVP had Jersey Tough won the Championship.

2. CT Prime

Without a doubt the best skill guy at the event. Armani Reid Armani Reid 5’10” | 160 lbs | ATH East Coast Prep | 2025 State New E ‘s play forced eyes on him at all times. Special player. Here’s what I wrote about him in a recent piece.rn

East Coast Prep’s  Armani Reid Armani Reid 5’10” | 160 lbs | ATH East Coast Prep | 2025 State New E Armani Reid Armani Reid 5’10” | 160 lbs | ATH East Coast Prep | 2025 State New E ” /> was the most dominant skill-guy at this event, no question about it. Not just my opinion, my colleague Caleb Holfoth agrees. The wideout performance, Reid would stand to earn this honor even if he didn’t play exemplary ball at DB for CT Prime as well. Incredible two-way performance put on by an FBS talent. I couldn’t keep track of the number of scores and interceptions, you’re just going to have to trust me when I tell you this young man was a game-wrecking athlete on the turf. In the Championship game alone, Reid turned ten-yard gains for the average athlete into scores from 40 yards out. In a setting where you’re “down” with one touch, this fact is absurd. Other-worldly burst and change of direction skills, Reid had spectators’ and defenders’ jaws on the floor. Reid showed off lateral cuts that chewed up turf, cuts that would put the average person in the hospital. Unreal body control and balance,  Armani Reid Armani Reid 5’10” | 160 lbs | ATH East Coast Prep | 2025 State New E Armani Reid Armani Reid 5’10” | 160 lbs | ATH East Coast Prep | 2025 State New E ” /> was making kids look silly throughout both Saturday and Sunday, kid was a pleasure to watch. Safety and corner capable in this setting. Plenty of PBUs, interceptions, and 1v1 wins witnessed when aligned at DB. The two best performers in the same program, all work culminating in an 18U Championship.

1. CT Prime

The man behind center for the winning program. A polar opposite to Lamar Best’s style, yet equally, if not more impressive a passer. Here’s my eval on the Tourney MVP Nick Conlan Nick Conlan 5’10” | 170 lbs | QB West Haven | 2025 State New E …rn

Back before I relinquished my ranking duties in New England, I liked West Haven’s  Nick Conlan Nick Conlan 5’10” | 170 lbs | QB West Haven | 2025 State New E Nick Conlan Nick Conlan 5’10” | 170 lbs | QB West Haven | 2025 State New E ” /> as a top ten QB prospect in all of New England, fourth in Connecticut at the time. I won’t speak on any current rankings as I am out of responsibility. One thing’s for sure,  Nick Conlan Nick Conlan 5’10” | 170 lbs | QB West Haven | 2025 State New E Nick Conlan Nick Conlan 5’10” | 170 lbs | QB West Haven | 2025 State New E ” /> showed up and dominated each rep at our first PRZ PA 7v7. Named tournament MVP, we are releasing a “Top 30 Performances” piece that fully encapsulates the 18U tourney as a whole, I’m sure you can guess where West Haven’s QB will land on that list.Passing thread below, you can witness how consistent Conlan’s release stayed throughout the event. Unassuming physically, yet plenty of torque and hip fire witnessed. Conlan’s front leg stabs the turf, he transfers his weight well, stays balanced too. This, combined with a replicable release, makes for a deadly accurate passer. In this setting, it seemed like Conlan didn’t miss a single throw throughout the two-day event. The epitome of calm and cool, game style matches his demeanor. The young man is as pleasant to watch as he is to talk to. Not a ton of flashy deep balls, Conlan is more of the “make the right decision” type of passer, which ultimately led to CT Prime winning the Championship. Takes what’s in front of him, gives his playmakers room to work with by getting the ball out of his hands quickly and in stride. Conlan had no problem distributing to Reid early in possesions, letting Reid toy with defenders however he pleased. Where Conlan comes up big, the biggest reason CT Prime was so hard to beat all event, Conlan’s accuracy inside of 15 yards. Incredible anticipation skills, incredible touch/tempo, kid can layer the ball like some of the best in the tournament and it showed. Conlan’s ability to stay ready from a footwork perspective had him ready to fire off a rocket the millisecond he reads a target about to come open. Kid didn’t break a sweat, proud to see him dominate, as I remember seeing him work as a freshman two years ago at the same venue.
