Hidden gem of a college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1118455' first='Eliot' last='Hummer'] (6'3" 222) 2025 LB Ft. Zumwalt West 39.8"<br>- Possibly the top prospect in the state without an offer yet. Hummer has the ideal size, speed and athleticism colleges look for in a LB. He jumped almost 40 inches at 222 pounds. Even better he can play and showed good pass defense skills in 1v1s. He is also a good edge rusher. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1124843' first='Cameron' last='Cason'] (6'1" 170) DB Francis Howell 39.3"<br>- One of the defensive back co-MVPs, Cason had a terrific day both testing among the top in most events including the vertical jump.

Clark had his season cut short due to injury but looks a good as ever. His testing numbers showed that along with his play on the day in drills and 1v1s. Jordan is fast and skilled with great hands. Also plays WR but had 4 picks and 43 tackles as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
