Crown College Elite Camp Standouts: Part II

SAINT BONIFACIUS-- We check in one last time from the Crown College Elite Camp with our Part II list of standouts that drew our attention. This list has plenty of new names that we tapped into getting them their first live evaluations. This list brings three states to the table of talent, from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska and there is certainly some stockrisers too growing their stock already in Mid-June.    Brayden is QB prospect that has been on my radar for a while now, but saw his stock rise at the Crown College Elite Camp. The development of Brayden over the last 6-9 months has certainly shown and he has become more mechanically sound, quicker on his reads, and shows off the arm strength you want at the next-level. He also put up some growth with his testing numbers as he came into Crown more mobility than I saw last season. From the two camps I have watched Brayden already this summer, I have kept seeing further growth which is hopefully what the college coaches are seeing too.     A new name to my radar that showed off some flash with his footwork was Robbinsdale Armstrong 2026 athlete [player_tooltip player_id='421997' first='Solomon' last='Erickson']. This young man has a ways to go with developing his frame in the weight room, but he intrigued me with his change of direction too in the drills I got to watch out of Solomon. He also appeared with more instinct with his athletic movement that I had expected. He is one to watch grow physically over the next year or so. Would be a great fit as a slot-back. <a href="https://x.com/Solo_kazi">Twitter</a>     Ethan was one I saw upside on both sides of the ball within his live evaluation at the Crown College Elite Camp. However, I believe he found his spot as a next-level tight end from my eyes, as Ethan impressed me with his overall length, fluid movement, and of course had to show off good hands in the reps I caught. In those reps too, Ethan showed off more athletic balance especially around the edges of the field, which also locked in with his field awareness. The tape from his junior season shows off the range I was hoping to see too which widens the gap for Ethan as a college football target. I believe too there is possibly a higher ceiling for him if a college program wants to move him inside and add some frame to him as a defensive tackle. <a href="https://x.com/WillmertEthan">Twitter</a>     TJ was my vote for MVP at not one, but two position groups at Crown, as he was the best of the best in the OL and DL category. This small town hidden gem from SW Wisconsin, impressed me with his hands, as TJ not only showed aggression in every rep with them, he still remained in control. He showed off good pad-level and was another prospect that I thought was highly coachable due to his attention to detail with the Crown coaching staff. Although a little undersized, TJ shows off plenty of finish and is a block to the whistle type of player that I like to see. His pass protection upside certainly showed me that although he plays both ways, that the center position would be a great fit for him in college.     James was a walkup and a new name to my radar in the 2027 class that showed off the upside of what is to come for the Skippers. He passed the early eye test with his good and I am sure growing size. It may seem repetitive, but I was impressed in the coachability of this young buck as one that I saw showed off good character too with his teammates at the Crown College Elite Camp. James can develop over the coming years with his agility and getting tighter with his cut angles. No tape or Twitter yet, but I am sure is one that is eager to get some out there.     Zach shows off a jack of all trades for the Cardinals, but at the Crown College Elite Camp I watched his reps closely at the quarterback position. He showed off his football IQ with his efficiency running RPO reps as a prospect that I would envision having position flexibility at the next-level outside of being a specialist. Zach impressed me with his quick reads and not overselling where he was going with the ball as he showed off a quick release that certainly has further development he can grow over the next handful of months. He was nearly perfect on his PAT attempts last year and shows off great poise in his kicking leg for sure along with solid hangtime on every kick that should be a young man playing on Saturdays as he would be a great fit I believe for a football program like Crown with his versatility.     One of two 2027 prospects that I have amongst my standouts, was 2027 defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1291433' first='JJ' last='Twigg'] of Eastview. JJ popped out me during 1v1s, as a defensive back that despite on the smaller side held his ground against bigger competition and I was intrigued with this young man's ball tracking ability for his age. He came off more instinctive than I had envisioned watching him in testing and Indy and made his noise where you need to at camp in 1v1s.    Other Standouts from the Crown College Elite Camp   Cale Odegard, QB, Madelia, MN 2025 <a href="https://x.com/cale_odegard">Twitter</a>   <ul> <li>The south-paw from Madelia, was a new name that I felt from the start of Indy later into 1v1s, was one that showed off quick development of his QB craft and was one that really took all the coaching in he could to get better and earn an offer from the Polars.</li> </ul>   Anthony Chambers, LB/DB, Papillion La Vista South, NE 2025 <a href="https://x.com/Ant_Chambers_">Twitter</a>   <ul> <li>Anthony was one that I thought thru testing and Indy drills, showed off good fluidity with his athletic movement. I also liked his position angles he took to the ball in the later reps as a Nebraska prospect that will need more senior tape to pop out further to college coaches.</li> </ul>
