PRZVA Showcase Northern Virginia Kids had quite the day

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Looking at how the kids from Northern Virginia held up during our first Virginia showcase. We had a number of kids in attendance in Harrisonburg last week with a 703 area code. Maybe not all but we had talent from Patriot, West Springfield, Independence and Forest Park high school just to name a few. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quarterbacks:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1231457' first='Tyler' last='Knutson'] Patriot- Once again made our Top 5 performers, he will find a home at the next level soon I am sure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1298213' first='Scott' last='Lewis']- West Springfield rising senior [player_tooltip player_id='1298213' first='Scott' last='Lewis'] made quite the impression and my co-worker Vic Castillo certainly took notice. He cracked our top 5 as well, he is in for a big final season for the Spartans.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic/status/1878960000460300433","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic/status/1878960000460300433 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1206155' first='Denari' last='Hill'] Woodbridge - I told Vic ahead of time Hill is the real deal and it did not take him long for him to understand what I have been saying about him for the past two years</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic/status/1878965917427876048","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic/status/1878965917427876048 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1297629' first='Brian' last='Walrath'] West Springfield- The big gunslinger really threw the ball well during the Individual Drill and 1vs1s, cannot wait to see him under center next fall</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='486916' first='Nick' last='Nassib'] Independence- Nassib did well I can see more why he was selected All District as a junior now that I have seen him throw in person. He probably would of been a top performer but he was not able to test due to an injury he suffered late in the season. I am confident if he had been fully healthy he would have made the top 5.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Running backs: </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='853848' first='Payton' last='Holmes'] Lake Braddock- Holmes had the second fastest 40 time amongst the attendees and easily slid into our Top performers for this group. There is a lot to like about his game and he showed out last weekend. He is poised to be the lead back for the Bruins this fall, I expect him to rush for over 1,000 yards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Freedom South Rising and Forest Park had multiple stars:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We had three players from the Eagles and Bruins on hand and each one of them had their moments. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1535291' first='Wade' last='Farrar'] Freedom South Rising- The uncommitted senior had great testing numbers, he should find a home soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1601610' first='Barry' last='Mcmanus'] Forest Park- Top 5 performer in the Defensive Back group, Mcmanus was a star in the secondary. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1298522' first='Noah' last='Barnhill'] (Freedom South Riding)- Barnhill had an awesome junior season and his performance earned him in our top offensive linemen group. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1597632' first='Elijah' last='Fosu'] Forest Park- It was hard to notice Fosu during the year playing along the likes of many division 1 lineman, but he sure did stand out last weekend. The young man was one of the biggest kids at the showcase, another 2025 uncommitted who needs a home at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1370465' first='Frankie' last='D'Amico'] Freedom South Rising- Good testing numbers and measurable D'Amico will be long snapping in college trust me, one of the smarter players on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Defensive Line</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Markus Gilmore Lake Braddock- A favorite of mine for a bit Markus Gilmore cracked Cole's top 5 performers for a loaded defensive line group. Playing as a rotating starter for Lake Braddock Gilmore should have a more significant role this fall for the Bruins. He has all the measurables and sure made himself known last week, he is going to have a great senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GoLions1934/status/1879319492393861130","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GoLions1934/status/1879319492393861130 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
