Here are some of our notes from the session:
Quarterbacks
Jysen Shepherd
Jysen
Shepherd
5'11" | 160 lbs | QB
JH Rose | 2026
State
NC
| Martin County
Shepherd showed good pocket presence in moving his feet. The drill was designed for the quarterbacks to flip and turn their hips and make the throws planting their feet. He has impressive athleticism – the ball comes out smoothly.
Cooper Pleasants
Cooper
Pleasants
6'1" | 180 lbs | QB
Wakefield | 2027
NC
| Wakefield
We were impressed with the velocity on Pleasants’s throws and his ability to hit the target after he planted his foot and made the throw.
The next drill for the quarterbacks was one where they had to make throws under pressure. But since there wasn’t any live tackling, the coaches in the drill simulated it.
Zachary Evans
Zachary
Evans
6'0" | 175 lbs | QB
Westover | 2025
NC
from Westover was a standout from what we were able to see. He did a good job of getting depth to turn and make an accurate throw where they had to roll out to their left in a later drill.
Hank Nannery from Orange had a strong release on his throws during the drill as well.
Offensive Line
James Napier
James
Napier
6'2" | 285 lbs | OL
Garner Magnet | 2025
NC
| Garnet Magnet
Napier had a good first step moving and striking the target. His lateral vertical step was impressive as well.
Luke Cecil
Luke
Cecil
6'3" | 300 lbs | OL
Orange | 2025
NC
| Orange
Cecil had a good stance in moving his feet to strike the target.
Kaeden Groseclose | Graham
Groseclose showed good knee bend and drive, moving with his right foot to strike the target. We saw the same thing from
Alexander Luebke
Alexander
Luebke
6'4" | 260 lbs | OL
Athens Drive | 2026
NC
of Athens Drive.
Routes Versus Air
Cayden Roscoe
Cayden
Roscoe
6'3" | 180 lbs | ATH
Patton | 2025
NC
| Patton
Roscoe did a great job of looking the ball into his hands as he ran his routes at full speed. The same can be said for
Immanuel Collins
Immanuel
Collins
5'2" | 120 lbs | WR
Shelby | 2027
NC
of Shelby, who garnered MVP honors for his performance at Saturday’s combine.
Damarius Mckoy
Damarius
Mckoy
5'8" | 165 lbs | WR
Clayton | 2025
NC
| Clayton
Mckoy (pictured above) was one of our standouts from the afternoon. He ran a solid route during RVA to make a completion. He can high point the ball and make the catch. He also does a good job of adjusting to the ball to make grabs.
Okie Edwards | Kinston
Edwards did a good job at the top of the route to make the catch and stack the defender so he couldn’t have a chance at knocking the ball away.
