In this article, I'll be sharing my quick thoughts on five prospects who stood out to me at camp. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>'25 RB | [player_tooltip player_id='602107' first='Luke' last='Johnson'] | Oxford | <a href="https://x.com/Luke_Johnson31">@Luke_Johnson31</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Drew interest from several colleges in attendance</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Athletic, great center of gravity, change of direction</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Looked just like he does on film</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>FINALLY receiving some college attention</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Still firm on my D2 evaluation </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>'25 LB | [player_tooltip player_id='1251326' first='Elijah' last='Reynolds'] | West Ottawa | <a href="https://x.com/Elijah_rey6">@Elijah_rey6</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Passes eye test- tall, long, athletic</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Looked great in every athletic drill</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Only watched one 1on1 rep- was sloppy in pass coverage</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Extremely high ceiling</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>'26 DB | [player_tooltip player_id='1327706' first='Keegan' last='McCue'] | Hackett CC | <a href="https://x.com/mccue_keegan12">@mccue_keegan12</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>By far the best non-senior DB in attendance</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Best footwork of the white shirts</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Explodes out of break</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Extremely fit</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Needs to work a little on change of direction</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A tad sloppy at times during 1on1s</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>First in line every single drill</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Footwork can become sloppy at top of opposing WR routes</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>'26 DB | [player_tooltip player_id='1615774' first='Domanic' last='Stuck'] | Riverview | <a href="https://x.com/Domanicstuck_2">@Domanicstuck_2</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Easily the #2 non-senior DB</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Good footwork, fast feet</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Locked-in during 1on1s</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Solid ball skills</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Performed better in 1on1s than he did in athletic drills</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Someone I'll need to keep a close eye on moving forward</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>'26 WR | Tayden Redding | MI Collegiate | <a href="https://x.com/ReddingTay">@ReddingTay</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Slim, long limbs, tall</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Needs to work on change of direction</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Routes were good, not great</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Raw, but less raw than D2-offered 25's with similar traits</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Amazing vertical, athletic, HIGH ceiling</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
