CFI Spring Showcase: Top Linebackers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Charlotte Football Insiders Spring Showcase brought nearly 300 high school players to West Mecklenburg High School where they competed in front of over 20 different college football programs for potential scholarship offers and recruiting exposure. Several young men performed well and were recognized as top performers – we will take a look at the Linebacker Top Performers here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1158273' first='Myles' last='Hudson'] - JM Robinson</strong> - Myles is a 6'0 205 pound Class of 2025 prospect. Myles currently has an offer from Charlotte and has interest from several other schools in the Carolinas. As an inside linebacker prospect, Myles does a great job in slowing down the interior running game and making plays in the passing game. Myles shows good discipline in zone coverage on his film and tackles well in space. At the showcase, Myles did a good job in both the individual and 1 on 1 portion of the showcase specifically, showing good speed and agility in open space. <br><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='361552' first='Antoine' last='Doyle Jr'].</strong> - <strong>Vance County</strong> - I didn't know much about Antoine coming into the showcase, but he made himself known very quickly in the agility circuit portion of the showcase - showing excellent speed and athleticism through drills and good burst coming out of his change of direction. At 6'1 and 205 pounds, Antoine recently received his first offer from Fayetteville State University, and he has interest from several other schools throughout the Carolinas and beyond. <br><br><strong>Ryan Hailey - North Mecklenburg</strong> - Ryan is one of the best inside linebackers in the Charlotte Metro Area. At 6'0 and 220 pounds, Ryan has been a two-time top performer at CFI Showcases and has a lot of recruiting interest from schools in the Carolinas. Ryan shows the ability to play sideline to sideline on his highlight film, and he tackles well in stopping the interior run game. Ryan also showed the ability to cover running backs in space at the showcase, a major plus for him as an inside linebacker prospect. <br><br><strong>Camden Martin - Independence</strong> - I have written about Cam before, and I love what he did at this showcase. Cam is a very strong player, evidenced by what he put on film last year playing both defensive line and linebacker. In this showcase Cam showed he can really play well in space - he excelled in the passing game 1-on-1s and the agility circuit in particular. Cam currently has a lot of interest from schools and with good performances this summer in the camp circuit, I think he will start to see some offers come his way. <br><br><strong>Julian Platt - Rocky River</strong> - Julian had a very good showcase, backing up the momentum he recently received with an offer to play football at Shaw University. At 6'1 and 210 pounds, Julian showed excellent speed and coverage ability in space throughout the showcase. I recently had the chance to speak with him, and I observed him at his school's practice. Julian is a leader and a well-spoken young man, reflective of his overall 3.75 GPA. Colleges will really like what they see, and I think Julian will pick up much more recruiting attention going into the start of his senior football season. <br><br><strong>Mark Foster - West Mecklenburg </strong>- At 5'11 and 195 pounds, Mark did a great job overall at this showcase - moving with good speed and agility in familiar surroundings on his home field. Mark currently has several offers which include Catawba, Campbell, Howard, and Gardner-Webb. The leading tackler in the tough Queen City Conference, Mark is poised to have a big senior year before moving on to play college football on Saturdays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
