May 19 Davenport Camp Notes: Pt.2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sunday's Davenport camp was my favorite type of college camp. Perfect temperature, perfect amount of prospects, and three hours of being able to get my eyes on as many prospects as possible. This article will evaluate five more prospects from the Davenport camp. This time, I'll be covering two more running backs, a linebacker, and two defensive linemen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">RB | [player_tooltip player_id='1298677' first='Daniel' last='Carter'] | Warren Cousino | <a href="https://twitter.com/dcarter241">@dcarter241</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Daniel was another good RB I watched, primarily in the drill period. He took coaching well, looked quick, and was fundamentally sound. There were three running backs that I thought rose above the rest, and Daniel was one of them. Looking at his testing statistics, they all look around average - below average compared to my PRZ combine numbers over 5 camps. I didn't get much from the competition portion, but I do think he'll have a ton of success at other GLIAC/MIAA camps later this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">RB | Brycen Anderson | Walled Lake Central | <a href="https://twitter.com/BrycenAnderso11">@BrycenAnderso11</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've rarely seen a player with such raw on-field talent yet so incredibly athletic and built. On film, he looks stiff and did NOT show the speed he showed at Sunday's camp. That should provide you with a little hint of his speed, and all of his testing numbers were quite good. Let's just say I'm very high on Brycen right now. He's 100% a Division 2 prospect in my book, and if he can develop at the next level, then look out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">LB | [player_tooltip player_id='899615' first='Malik' last='Murrell'] | Belleville | <a href="https://twitter.com/MalikMurrell10">@MalikMurrell10</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malik immediately passed the eye test. He's a little better built than most linebackers, and he moved very well during the positional drills. His twitter says he plays nickel/RB, but he seemed to be a natural linebacker. Malik's testing times were also average-above average across the board. He also performed quite well during the 1on1 period, sporting impressive ball skills. It makes a lot more sense in the context of nickel DB experience, but still, I liked what I saw from this Belleville prospect! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">DL | Kavion Powell | Brother Rice | <a href="https://twitter.com/PowellKavion50">@PowellKavion50</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Man, I really liked what I saw from Kavion Powell during several D-Line drills. To start, he's a nicely built interior defensive lineman at 6'2" 250lbs. During those drills, Kavion looked very explosive and powerful. I thought he was moving the sled better than anyone, and he showed great explosiveness with his hips + hands. He was my #1 D-Lineman going into 1on1s, but unfortunately, those great drills did not translate to competition. He had one club-rip move that he kept trying to use, but it was ineffective. He also didn't fire off the ball nearly as fast as I think he could. Lastly, Kavion was below-average in the 40 and shuttle but posted an above-average broad jump, further highlighting his explosiveness. A more versatile set of pass-rush moves would greatly help Kavion earn offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">DL | Jordan Kenerson | Hillcrest | <a href="https://twitter.com/jojokenerson">@jojokenerson</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>By the end of the camp, there was no doubt who the best defensive lineman was. I liked Jordan throughout the entire camp. He looked fast during the agility drills and took coaching very well in the individual portion. During the testing portion, Jordan posted an above-average 40 and shuttle while having a nice broad jump. Up until the 1v1 period, I thought he and Kavion were neck-and-neck in terms of skill. Then, Jordan dominated the 1v1 period, earning himself an offer in the process. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
