SLMFCA Showcase Top Offensive Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at the top offensive standouts from the recent St. Louis Metro Football Coaches Association showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='326611' first='Preston' last='Brown'] 2025 QB Hillsboro<br>- (6'1" 197) 4.5 40 - 4.15 shuttle - 9'11" broad jump<br>- One of the most athletic quarterbacks in the Midwest proved it again at the showcase with his impressive testing numbers that standout for a player at any position much less QB. The true dual threat showed once again his speed, agility and power, along with his pinpoint accuracy, footwork and passing technique he has. Preston is one of the highest value prospects without a D1 offer in the state and region. Not sure what more it takes to earn one. It seems close but someone needs to pull the trigger and offer already. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1212279' first='Chris' last='Potter'] 2025 WR Kirkwood<br>- (5'11" 167) 4.53 40 - 4.24 shuttle - 10' broad jump<br>- Potter was a sleeper prospect heading into this spring but really had a breakout at the Elite Combine in March and has continued to show he is the real deal as a quality receiver prospect with very good speed, overall athleticism and skills. He's quick, runs good routes and has very good hands. He once again showed his talent at the showcase and landed his first offer from Missouri Baptist the following day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1124956' first='Duan' last='McRoberts'] 2025 RB Wright City<br>- (5'7" 174) 4.54 40 -4.66 shuttle - 9'8" broad jump<br>- A player who surprised me with his speed and athleticism at the showcase was senior to be running McRoberts, who was forced to play quarterback as a junior due to injury. He managed to pass for over 500 yards and 5 touchdowns, but it was his speed and running ability that still produced over 1,300 yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground. Duan's athletic ability stood out in drills and he showed very good receiving ability in 1v1s at the showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='179194' first='Michael' last='Cunningham'] 2025 OL De Smet<br>- (6'4" 281) 5.64 40 - 4.75 shuttle - 8'4" broad jump<br>- Big Mike had a good showcase testing wise, including an impressive shuttle time and broad jump, but really shined in the 1v1s shutting down every defensive line opponent he face, while showing absolute perfect technique in pass pro. Cunningham is strong, agile and quick. He can play either center or guard on the next level and caught the attention of college coaches in attendance. The next day Colgate became the latest school to offer him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='922651' first='Carter' last='Briddell'] 2025 OL North Point <br>- (6'4" 285) 5.54 40 -4.94 shuttle - 8'4" broad jump<br>- One of the most athletic offensive lineman in his class, Briddell has been impressive all spring at the Elite Combine, KC Varsity and SLMFCA showcase and continues to compete despite holding multiple D1 offers already. He was always a good athlete but has really developed himself physically adding the size and strength needed to become a D1 prospect. Carter had the fastest laser forty time among the offensive linemen and went unbeaten in his pass pro reps in 1v1s. He's another talented technician with his lineman skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1124927' first='Mason' last='Wendt'] 2025 OL Wright City<br>- (6'4" 302) 5.6 40 - 4.94 shuttle - 8'1" broad jump<br>- The rise of the senior to be Wendt continues with each combine and camp he attends. The SLMFCA was no different and he continued to follow up his recent King of the Hill co-MVP at the KC Varsity combine with another big performance in front of college coaches who knew about his KOTH win. I overhead coaches talking about his talents and ability and trying to figure out where Wright City was to go there. Mason tested well but used his size, strength and always improving technique and skill set to catch coaches eyes. They seem to like him at guard on the next level even though he can play every position along the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
