He won the MVP for her performance and was in the 1st team offense selection as well. Nelson was the most consistent running back in the entire showcase. His ability to compete and do well the entire time was impressive. The best part of his game is his ability to jump cut. Seeing him in the bag drill and cut was impressive. He also did a good job competing in one-on-one drills. He did a great job of running routes and catching the ball.

He did a great job at the one-on-one competition. His ability to compete and always put effort in was apparent. He also showed good hands and especially caught the ball well even in tight coverage.

He was one of the top performers at the Prep Redzone showcase so he earned a 1st team selection at running back. The biggest area I saw him excel in was the competition phase of the showcase. His ability to compete and turn it up to another level was impressive. He was constantly good all day, but was excellent, particularly in the competition phase. I also liked him during the practice session where he showed good quickness and burst. Portis is a good running back in the 2026 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Here are some highlights from the past 2 years‼️⚜️<br>RB/OLB<br>5'8<br>190lbs<br>3.8 GPA<a href="https://twitter.com/Chise89?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Chise89</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ImaniCAFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ImaniCAFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/210ths?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@210ths</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PghSportsNow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PghSportsNow</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/wpialsportsnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wpialsportsnews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EatTeam_2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EatTeam_2</a> <a href="https://t.co/ObqazcUdTc">https://t.co/ObqazcUdTc</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1607990' first='Anthony' last='Portis'] (RB/LB) (@ImAntPortis9) <a href="https://twitter.com/ImAntPortis9/status/1881074599070454192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 19, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1146785"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679ebc4eee0e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='444687' first='Andre' last='Watson'] came to the showcase ready to compete and he did that the entire day.

His size, athleticism, and his ability to move makes him a rare prospect. I honestly don't know his best position. On offense, he is a dynamic player who can play as a running back and as a wide receiver. On defense, he could play as a linebacker or as a defensive back. He is that elite of an athlete. At the showcase, he was one of the best players and excelled at the running back position. He stood out in a crowded running back group and showed how talented a prospect he was. Brown is one of the best athletes in the 2028 class and I cannot wait to see his progress next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/gEOVjmNtGB">https://t.co/gEOVjmNtGB</a><br><br>Class of 2028 <br>HT: 5&#039;11&quot;<br>WT: 188<br><br>Postion: Athlete <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeWakins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MikeWakins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZPAvic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrendanScoutsNJ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrendanScoutsNJ</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a></p>&mdash; Tahmere Brown (@Tahmerebrown23) <a href="https://twitter.com/Tahmerebrown23/status/1867575492586439045?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 13, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
