GVSU Prospect Camp #1 Impressions (2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earlier today, I had the pleasure of driving up the road to see Grand Valley State's first prospect camp of the summer. This was a massive camp that featured over 200 athletes from several states. Below, I'll quickly list my impressions of seven more prosects from this camp. For my first article covering this camp, click here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size">Note- This was a massive camp. At camps like these, I tend to focus on one position group. It's impossible for me to get a good look at everybody. This time, I focused my attention on OL/DL. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impressions</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>G/C | Greg Myles | Haslett | <a href="https://x.com/Greg_Myles79">@Greg_Myles</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size">(78Black)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Another great camp</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Fluid, consistent footwork</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Strong upper-body and legs;
