Event Recap: PSR BIG Camp Series – Scout Notes, Receivers Vol. 2

The circuit of back-to-back-to-back weekends on the road has come to a conclusion, as I was fortunate to attend <a href="https://twitter.com/ScoutNickP">Coach Nick Pennisi's</a> PSR BIG Camp Series on Saturday, May 11. This marks the second year in a row that I covered the event. Pennisi has grown his significantly from last year. With over 400 prospects registered for the event, I had my work cut out for me to identify and scout some of the event's standouts. As I feverishly wrote notes, here are my scouting notes from the position group disclosed in this article's title.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PSR BIG Camp Series Event Coverage</h2>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-preview-psr-big-camp-series-big-men-that-i-must-see/">Event Preview: Big Men, Part 1</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-preview-psr-big-camp-series-skills-that-i-must-see/">Event Preview: Skills</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-preview-psr-big-camp-series-qbs-amp-line-i-must-see/">Event Preview: QBs & OL, Part 1</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-preview-psr-big-camp-series-qbs-line-i-must-see-pt-2/">Event Preview: QBs & OL, Part 2</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-preview-psr-big-camp-series-defensive-back-7-i-must-see/">Event Preview: Defensive Back-7</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/immediate-reaction-psr-big-camp-series/">Post-Event Immediate Reaction</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-recap-psr-big-camp-series-scout-notes-d-line-vol-1/">Defensive Line Evaluations, Volume 1</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-recap-psr-big-camp-series-scout-notes-d-backs-vol-1-2/">Defensive Line Evaluations, Volume 2</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-recap-psr-big-camp-series-scout-notes-qbs-vol-1/">Quarterback Evaluations, Volume 1</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-recap-psr-big-camp-series-scout-notes-qbs-vol-2/">Quarterback Evaluations, Volume 2</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-recap-psr-big-camp-series-scout-notes-o-line-vol-1/">Offensive Line Evaluations, Volume 1</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-recap-psr-big-camp-series-scout-notes-o-line-vol-2/">Offensive Line Evaluations, Volume 2</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-recap-psr-big-camp-series-scout-notes-receivers-vol-1/">Wide Receiver Evaluations, Volume 1</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-recap-psr-big-camp-series-scout-notes-d-backs-vol-1/">Defensive Back Evaluations, Volume 1</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-recap-psr-big-camp-series-scout-notes-d-backs-vol-2/">Defensive Back Evaluations, Volume 2</a>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scout's Notebook: Wide Receivers</h2>   First up today was a Parsippany Hills product, [player_tooltip player_id='1281512' first='Andrew' last='Herre']. Herre, who looks to fill a big share of targets and yardage vacated by former teammate and graduating senior [player_tooltip player_id='1012879' first='Joseph' last='Ciccotelli'], is putting in the work this camp season to ensure that he can. At 6'2" Herre already has great size and a tremendous catch radius as a target, but what stood out to me was his vertical ability to go up, high point, and get the ball. This said, something tells me that he will lead his team in touchdowns and be their primary red zone target..... Traveling about 25 minutes across the county was Metuchen's [player_tooltip player_id='1281516' first='Justus' last='Leitner']. I would venture to say that Leitner is likely the kid brother of head coach Jordan, the younger Leitner figures to be a key target split out for the Bulldogs. What I noticed Leitner do exceptionally well is use his hands to exclusively catch the ball. Moreover, he was often included to extend his arms to snatch passes that led him well out of the air.   From Newark Central [player_tooltip player_id='1026003' first='Dishon' last='Jerman'] looks to be the main man for years to come split out wide. Jerman does a good job sinking his hips and getting low when he breaks off of his routes. This ability enables him to hide his hips and be more deceptive to a defender as he prepares to enter the latter phases of his route. Jerman also mostly uses his hands to catch. Like Jerman, [player_tooltip player_id='1281520' first='Reggie' last='Holley'] from Millville is another 2027 prospect who looks to have great upside. Although I did not get many looks at Holley, I did manage to catch one spectacular play he made. When running a deep route, Holley did a great job willing the tip drill. At first he was unable to secure the ball; however, he continued running and tipped the ball twice more before securing the grab while on the move..... Bergen Catholic's [player_tooltip player_id='1281511' first='Michael' last='Campanile'] is a prospect that I was somewhat surprised by. Another relative of a head coach - a few head coaches to be honest - Campanile carried the family name with pride as he put forth an admirable performance. Campanile was relatively quick for the position, but masterfully changed speeds throughout the exhibition.   Coming out from way out there in North Hunterdon was [player_tooltip player_id='1281518' first='Daniel' last='Figurski']. With as many prospects as there were in attendance I admit that I was unable to get a detailed look at Figurski, but the one instance I did catch him I walked impressed with him. Figurski was running a deep flag route and recongized that the ball was totally uncatchable and over his head. Realizing this, Figurski immediately went to playing defense. He looked to deflect the ball the best he could. Although the defender ultimately came up with the pick, Figurski fought through his hands to try to break up the pass or force a a fumble..... [player_tooltip player_id='835854' first='Chris' last='Horn Jr.'] of St. Peter's Prep proved to be one of the most agile players in attendance. A very quick and shifty runner, Horn lost absolutely no speed coming in-and-out of his breaks. As he ages and grows he will certainly add more top-end speed to take the top off of a defense; however, in the interim I can foresee Horn being a dynamic threat in the return game and out of the slot in the intermediate game for St. Peters.
