That being the PRZ Virginia lead Carl Frederick. Frederick raved about Washington's presence at safety, apparently showing off some serious range in a setting that usually exploits DBs to a degree. Washington's performance might deem him worthy of a higher placement on this list, yet since I didn't get to watch him closely, we'll settle for the 40 spot. I have a feeling he deserves higher, though. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just Grinding still have more work to do!!! <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachAJBrooks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachAJBrooks</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RocCarmichael?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RocCarmichael</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/nshswolverinefb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nshswolverinefb</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/carljfred?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@carljfred</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneVA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneVA</a> <a href="https://t.co/6Q8l4I0XbJ">pic.twitter.com/6Q8l4I0XbJ</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='853780' first='Ontario' last='Washington'] Jr (2026) ⭐️ (@babyO07) <a href="https://twitter.com/babyO07/status/1902730251119055276?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 20, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["741083"],"_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-67db615af2439"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size"><strong>39. Joshua Simmons</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A massive player who drew the eyes of scouts upon his arrival. A real 6'6, a good-looking 230 pounds. It's obvious enough to say that Simmons's skill set is better suited with pads on. His size and potential as a pass-catcher in a setting like this one is certainly helpful and valuable, yet his potential as an edge prospect and big-body TE makes him an intriguing prospect to watch on Friday nights, not so much in the Spring. All of this being said, I still liked what I saw out of Simmons for the most part, as did our PRZ New York lead Caleb Holfoth. A vacuum for QBs to throw into, a better mover than I expected too. Happy to see him up close at this event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">420 lbs for three hex bar deadlift. <a href="https://t.co/uRbaH8EUpq">pic.twitter.com/uRbaH8EUpq</a></p>&mdash; Joshua Simmons (@SimmonsJoshua8) <a href="https://twitter.com/SimmonsJoshua8/status/1899261370362962283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 11, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1146924"],"_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-67db615af247e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size"><strong>38. Ethan [player_tooltip player_id='1256586' first='Wilson' last='']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6'4, 210 pounds. A current junior out of North Pitt in Greenville, NC. Works at TE for North Pitt, his skills were on full display at this event. Ran the type of routes you'd expect a target like this to run, quick-hitting sticks and hitches, plenty of seam benders ran too. Ethan Wilson did a good job flashing his #15 to Samari Cabell. Can square up and catch balls away from his immediate radius, he can be counted on to reel in difficult catches. Can be seen catching a few balls in the Cabell reel posted below. A great red zone option in settings like this. Arguably the best TE at this event, maybe outside of a few prospects. Currently un-offered and un-ranked, both surprising for a TE who reeled in 1k yards as a junior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a really good time in our first 7v7 tournament this year, we went 4-1!

Fode Wilks</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Happy to find out that Cardinal O'Hara's Fode Wilks created a bit of a buzz in favor of NLL. 6'0.5, 165 pounds. 4.73 GPA. Caught 30 balls as a junior that went for 350 yards. Wilks brought his route-running skills to Maryland to work against some fantastic DMV competition. An easy separator, smooth in this setting just like he is on tape. A glider, a pass-catcher who understands leverage, a pass-catcher who can utilize tempo in his routes to lull DBs to sleep. I was able to watch Wilks from a distance on a few occasions, I also heard from scouts watching NLL that he was reeling in a consistent number of balls from a QB he had little chemistry with. As someone relatively close to Wilks, as someone familiar with his game, I can't say I was surprised to learn he performed well. Likely higher on this list had I been able to watch him a bit closer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Going against some of the top teams in the nation, I am thankful for the competitiveness I could put my craft in this weekend. <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZPAvic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Est2017NLL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Est2017NLL</a> <a href="https://t.co/KIrP6XMygO">pic.twitter.com/KIrP6XMygO</a></p>&mdash; Fode Wilks ‘26 WR (@Fode_wilks26) <a href="https://twitter.com/Fode_wilks26/status/1896392376010326502?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 3, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["623123"],"_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-67db615af24fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size"><strong>36.
