South Middle School Camp – Fastest 40’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The PRZ-Next camp circuit made a stop in the DFW area on Sunday and once again, Texas showed out in a big way. We saw quite a few playmakers on both sides of the ball throughout the day and our writers will be breaking down those players throughout the next few days. In this breakdown, we're taking a look at the fastest prospects in attendance. These five players finished in the top five from the 40-yard dash on Sunday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1591912' first='Joe' last='McKenzie'] - 2029 Wide Receiver</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2029 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1591912' first='Joe' last='McKenzie'] was able to take home the title of the camp's "fastest man" after running a camp-best 4.72 on his first attempt on Sunday. That time would be only the third time under 4.80 on Sunday and McKenzie was able to clock the quickest time. McKenzie's second attempt wasn't as quick but he still walked away with the fast 40 from a relatively quick wide receiver group. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1524325' first='Tariq' last='Smith'] - 2029 Running Back</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When you look at this breakdown, you see four wide receivers and one running back. 2029 running back [player_tooltip player_id='1524325' first='Tariq' last='Smith'] was the lone guy from the ball carriers to crack the top five on Sunday. Smith would run a 4.77 and that was good enough to finish second among all the campers in attendance and obviously first for his position group. Smith also impressed during individual drills on Sunday morning. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='476598' first='Christopher' last='Phillips II'] - 2029 Wide Receiver</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2029 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='476598' first='Christopher' last='Phillips II'] had the third fastest time on Sunday with a time of 4.78. Phillips is a player that I specifically remember watching at this camp in January of last year. He was a seventh grader and was one of the best wide receivers in attendance. Now, he's an eighth grader and not only did he impress me, he's already on the radar of the PRZ-Texas writers in attendance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1592076' first='Brayden' last='Childs'] - 2029 Wide Receiver</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2029 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1592076' first='Brayden' last='Childs'] came in fourth on Sunday with a time of 4.85. Childs impresses us because not only does he have the straight line speed that you can clearly see in a 40-yard dash setting. But Childs also turned around and finished in the top five for the shuttle times. In fact, he was fourth in both of those tests. Childs has that straight line speed and the shifty speed that makes him tough to cover. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1597170' first='Thomas' last='Joyner III'] - 2029 Wide Receiver</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rounding out the top five at number five is 2029 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1597170' first='Thomas' last='Joyner III'] after he ran a 4.91 on Sunday. Joyner was consistent with his times after finishing with exactly 4.91 on both attempts Sunday morning. Joyner is another part of that explosive wide receiver group that was incredibly talented on Sunday. Joyner utilized that explosiveness to have a big day on Sunday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
