PRZ Duel in the DMV 7v7: 18u Champions 3rd and Ten

3rd & Ten not only came into the DMV from New York and put on a top performance. They eliminated some major contenders to win the tournament on their way to becoming 18u Champions of the PRZ Duel in the DMV - while they had several top performers, including the tournament MVP. This group consisting of prospects from Long Island showed they had some of the best athletes and top prospects at the entire tournament. I caught all their games, and my colleagues covering the tournament [player_tooltip player_id='1685945' first='Vic' last='Castillo'], Todd Haldis, and Carl Federick, all were impressed with the guys from 3rd and Ten.      Robinson was good on Saturday during pool play, doing what he needed for 3rd & Ten to compete in every game, but on Sunday, he was on a different level. His 0 Interceptions and dominant performances in several elimination games against the top teams at the tournament showed us a lot.   Robinson did an excellent job of using everyone on the field; his ability to get through reads and deliver with the right timing was something few QBs showed capability of throughout Sunday.   It was great to see Robinson throw for the first time in this setting because on tape, you see a ton of deep throws, so I never really had questions about his arm strength. However, with 40-yard fields in 7v7, Robinson was excellent at targeting all short and intermediate areas of the field and doing so with consistent ball placement.   <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic/status/1902411290204651629">[player_tooltip player_id='839182' first='Peyton' last='Robinson'] Tournament MVP</a>     Moore was one of the few two-way players who rarely came off the field throughout the entire tournament, which, through the single-elimination playoffs where 3rd & 10 essentially played four straight games without breaks, was incredibly impressive.   Moore was incredible at WR throughout the tournament. His explosiveness, speed, and twitch were a nightmare for DBs in 1v1 coverage. There were at least four different instances where Moore was left 1v1 and created 3-5 yards of separation within the first 10 yards of his route. Because of his athleticism, he was exceptional at getting YAC on his crossing routes, and I thought he showcased strong hands that could catch away from his body. He is the #1 DB in this class but he can for sure have a high ceiling as a WR prospect if that's an option in the future.   Defensively, he stood out in coverage. He covered more ground than any other defensive back I saw, and I was impressed with his ability to read quarterbacks and his quick and explosive movements through those reactions.     You don't get to see many RB prospects work at 7v7, but Thomas was consistent throughout the tournament as a reliable receiving option when third and ten needed a play.   This was my first time seeing Thomas in person. I was extremely impressed with his quickness and his ability to change direction. He showed a few nice jump cuts in open space.   At 6'2 220, Thomas is a huge RB prospect. The size and play strength are on tape, but live evaluations will help coaches a lot - he was imposing as an athlete in person and one of the few players who I came away from the tournament much higher on than before.     Roy was the big target for 3rd and Ten, and when they got to the RedZone, he was one of the top targets all tournament long.   Roy shows great play strength at the catch point and often bullies DBs when they try to get their hands on him. He made several really tough catches on Sunday but also showed throughout the entire weekend that when he has space to work with left 1v1, he can separate consistently.   Roy's go-to is that play strength; even though listed at 175, he is a physical player in the 7v7 setting, which should easily translate to everything he does with pads on.     Russo is one of my favorite route runners in the 2026 class, and he continued to consistently show that he can separate against man coverage or find open space against zone throughout the weekend.   Russo made some really nice plays in the seam, altering his routes to lead the quarterback to open space. He and Robinson do a great job reading each other and connecting through tough openings down the field.     Oliphant played DB for 3rd and Ten. He is one of my favorite athletes in this class because of his return ability, and it was good to see him in coverage for a whole weekend.   On Saturday, he had a nice INT, and throughout the day on Sunda, he did a great job in coverage through the playoffs.   He still needs to add strength and weight to his game, but he is one of the better pure athletes we saw all weekend and has some serious explosiveness.     Wellington was another completely new name to me. I thought he was a little quiet on day one, but he really turned it on Day two. A long strider at the WR position, he flashes some good acceleration and speed. I thought he showed a strong catch radius and made several big plays when called upon.     Prokop, the lone TE prospect on the Team, was never the focal point of the offense, but he made some very important catches when 3rd and Ten converted some long 3rd Downs. Prokop is a big prospect, and the TE frame was evident, but his ability to catch and turn up the field with some burst was something I was really impressed with.   I saw Prokop at camp about a year ago, and a year later, he has made a lot of progress in continuing to develop as an athlete while also getting bigger and stronger. Many guys lose a step with extra weight, but Prokop shows good movement skills for his size profile.     Winter played SAF for 3rd and Ten and a two-way player in the fall Winter is one of the more versatile athletes from Long Island in the 2026 class with the ability to have an impact at multiple positions.   After seeing him work at SAF in 7v7, that may be the position I like him most. He has a good physique, and his short-area quickness stood out at times when he would break on balls in zone coverage.   The 3rd and Ten defense did not create many turnovers, but they were excellent in coverage, and Winter and Moore's safety play was a huge factor in that.     Camps was a completely new name to me. He does not have any film on HUDL, but the St. Anthony's CB was a solid cover guy all weekend.   He has a good frame and was fluid transitioning out of his back pedal - he was not targeted often, so without that nor film overall ball skills are still a question, but he showed some athleticism and coverage skills that stood out.
