He is a tremendous athlete with elite length, fluid hips in transition and a natural pass catcher that competed and dominated his reps on both sides of the ball through out the day. He holds offers from Alabama, Georgia, Arizona, ASU, Oregon, UNLV and Tennessee amongst others. He will be a no brainer 30+ offer kid by the time it's all said and done. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DuvayAllday/status/1792471138356040017","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DuvayAllday/status/1792471138356040017 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>'25 Christopher Williams, San Juan Hills </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Williams won the DB MVP in an absolutely loaded group with future 4 and potentially 5 star kids. He had a tremendous showing in both the individual drills and the one on one sessions. He has elite length, long arms and is a rangy player that covers a ton of ground in the back end while excelling at press man coverage and is extremely physical near the LOS. In the drills, he looked smooth in his pedal and showed ball skills/quick breaking abilities through out the afternoon. </em>Williams holds offers from Army, HCU, Colorado State, UPenn and UNLV. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/chris3_williams/status/1792413512767250850","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/chris3_williams/status/1792413512767250850 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>'27 [player_tooltip player_id='819582' first='Jacob' last='Whitehead'], Inglewood </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Whitehead is well on his way to being one of the top players in the country in this 2027 class, and did not disappoint on Sunday. He has elite size at 6'2+ and moves very well laterally with quick hips in transition and good ball skills at the POA. He is a very patient corner that uses his hands well up near the line, and dominated the one on one sessions showing natural instincts and flashing recovery length and speed when trailing. Whitehead has offers from Auburn, Florida, CSU, ASU, Miami, Nebraska, Oregon, USC, Washington and Washington State, among others. He is another 30+ offer kid by the time his prep career comes to a close. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>'27 Havon Finney, Sierra Canyon </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Finney has great length and range for the position, and was one of the more smooth overall prospects in the camp during the afternoon session. He is a high IQ kid that quickly diagnosis routes and stays patient in the hip pocket while breaking quickly without taking false steps and shows natural fluid hips out of his pedal and when flipping/making a play on the ball. He has long arms and elite closing speed which were on display, and looked great in individual drills as well. He is another elite prospect with offers from LSU, Georgia, Oregon, Washington, USC and Texas A&amp;M among others. Finney will not doubt finish as one of the top players in the country in a few years and be a 35+ offer kid. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>'27 [player_tooltip player_id='415359' first='Jailen' last='Hill'], Inglewood </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Hill was among the camps best and had a terrific showing against some of the top receivers Southern California has to offer. The Inglewood standout is another kid with elite length and height at 6'2, and will only continue to pack on weight to his frame over the next three years. He is a long strider that moves well laterally while showing he can go up and breakup passes with ease against bigger tight ends and receivers and dominated the competition portion of the camp. He is a very polished corner with smooth movement abilities, loose hips and elite closing speed at the POA. Hill is another top prospect in this loaded 2027 Southern California class and has offers from Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, Florida, Oregon, Nebraska, Michigan State, Miami and Texas A&amp;M among others. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664cf038ac21a"} /-->
