Below are personal scouting notes from the action I witnessed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scout's Notes: Wide Receivers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was something about the way [player_tooltip player_id='1562565' first='Jeremiah' last='Hardison'] ran his routes that I would describe as, simply, violent. Because of the ferocity he ran with, Hardison forced defenders to get on their heels immediately - possibly intimidating some prospects in the process. Further, this violence manifested itself as strength and made it difficult for others to play through his hands.... Getting it done a bit differently was [player_tooltip player_id='1590737' first='Donta' last='Vincent']. Initially getting a glimpse of him during indy, where I recorded that his feet were "ok," Vincent showed that he knows he has a bigger frame and is capable of using it. On a handful of occasions I saw him use his body to shield defenders' path to the ball, allowing him to win that rep in the process.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Granted there were copious amounts of receivers at this event, one prospect that I thought had good releasers and strong route-running skills as [player_tooltip player_id='1476964' first='Miles' last='Block']. In what I thought was simply great, Block had an outstanding outside release and could have beat his matchup deep on one rep, however, he was running what looked like an in. He snapped his route's step off sharply and easily got open over the middle due to the amount of separation he created... Speaking of releases, Kaiden Barnes had one that I regarded as one of the best at the event. Barnes was able to quickly get off the line and used his hands to beat any press. Barnes also varied his release some, which also kept defenders on their toes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Northeast Middle School Camp Event Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/reaction-to-the-northeast-middle-school-camp/">Event Reaction</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/the-eye-test-backfield-prospects-that-looked-ready-to-play-hs">The Eye Test: HS Ready-Bodies – Quarterbacks, Running Backs</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/the-eye-test-receiving-prospects-that-looked-ready-to-play-hs">The Eye Test: HS Ready-Bodies – Tight Ends, Wide Receivers</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/the-eye-test-line-def-prospects-that-looked-ready-to-play-hs/">The Eye Test: HS Ready-Bodies – All Linemen, Defensive Backs, Linebackers</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/northeast-middle-school-camp-standout-40s-and-broad-jumps/">Top Combine Performers: 40-yard Dash, Broad Jump</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/northeast-middle-school-camp-standout-pro-agility-l-drill-times/">Top Combine Performers: Pro Agility, L-Drill Times</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
