Head Coach John Robinette of Forest Park and his staff had participants from each school in both the Cedar and Cardinal District. Over 30 plus College coaches and scouts were on hand as it is becoming more clearer that the talent in Prince William County is very deep. I have a list of standouts below, with some previous names that I have been high and some new ones for you all to know:
The leading rusher in the Cardinal District Landon Hunt Landon Hunt 5’10” | 210 lbs | RB Forest Park | 2025 State VA did not disappoint the home crowd with his performance on the evening. Everyone already knows this dude can run the ball well but what he showed on Wednesday is his ability as a pass catcher. Picking up his first offer from Stevenson University, Hunt looks poised to lead Forest Park this season on a deep playoff run. Between him and the big man blocking for him, I think it is safe bet you will see him and the Bruins competing for a district title.
Highlights
One of the best quarterbacks in the state continues to show why as he was slinging the ball with pinpoint accuracy all evening. What always stands out to me the most for quarterbacks in particular is that showcases you are not going to be throwing to the same targets you have been working out with all off-season, it is time to adapt. And adapt is what Gainesville’s Colton Kilmer Colton Kilmer 6’3″ | 215 lbs | QB Gainesville | 2025 State VA did as he was on point in the 1 on 1 drills with his throws. It is only matter of time before FCS schools start offering him, this past Wednesday was just another reason why.
Highlights
Brentsville Tigers all district wide receiver and defensive back made his presence known at Forest Park, he showed why he is on the radar of many FCS schools across the east coast. Competing and winning many (if not all) of his 1v1 reps, Owens was making difficult catches and showcasing his outstanding route running ability. Numerous times I saw him get held or interfered with and it didn’t matter he was still making plays. What I enjoyed most is that it didn’t bother him he just wanted to compete, how can you not what a kid like this on your roster?
Tyler Opong
Tyler Opong
A young man who I was not familiar with before but certainly am aware of him know after his performance is Woodbridge defensive end Tyler Opong. He is 6’3 and 240 lbs. who looks poised to among the league leaders in sacks this fall. Several times during the 1v1 session against the offensive lineman, Opong displayed numerous pass rushing moves and was downright a pain for anyone to block. He is bound to get at least division 2 coaches attention before the 2024 season begins, with his long reach and athletic ability he deserves it.
The future division 1 lineman Jack Smoot Jack Smoot 6’4″ | 280 lbs | OL Gainesville | 2025 State VA was a force during the 1 on 1 portion, constantly handing a bevy of tough pass rushers. Smoot is on many division 1 schools radar and he came away from his impressive outing with another offer from Morgan State University. Only his second division 1 offer, this should let the floodgates open with many more scholarship opportunities coming. Expect before week 1 that the Gainesville all star will have close if not more offers.

Sayfaldeen Hamad
Sayfaldeen Hamad
A sleeper for our entire 2025 class is Patriot’s offensive lineman Sayfaldeen Hamad. A late bloomer who is in the perfect system under Head Coach Sean Finnerty offense, Hamad looked the part all evening, acquitting himself quite well in the 1v1 portion. He is 6’3 and 250 lbs. he also looked noticeable more muscular than he did last fall, you can see why many of the coaches on hand were dying to get a chance to meet him.
