<p class="text-gray-700">Williams was another physical standout in the DB group, measuring in as one of the longer, more typical frames for a DB. His combination of quick feet and length made him hard to separate against in coverage. HIs effort flashed a few times as well, finding an extra gear to recover and get back in position if receivers were able to find space. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1659535' first='Dylan' last='Holston'] was one of the buzzier prospects coming into the event and proved some of the hype with his performance. He measured in at 6'0 150 with a skinny, yet cut frame. He has the proportions to pack on some weight. Holston was the most efficient mover and the stickiest defender in coverage during 1 v 1s. He has plenty of upside and is someone to keep track of as he packs on weight. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Carlos Barneman was a walk-up and exited as one of the steadier performers at the event. He doesn't check ideal boxes size-wise, but he has a stout build, measuring in at 5'9 180. He wasn't afraid to get physical, using his mass to disrupt receivers. Barneman is more of a nickel, but he played well in a CB setting and was recognized as a top performer. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1626351' first='Nathan' last='Holston'] might have the highest upside of any prospect at the event. He measured in at 6'2 163 and was one of the top performers at the shuttle. For someone as long as he is, he is an efficient mover who changed directions well. He is still refining and growing some nuance in coverage, but his size consistently keeps him around the football and proves to be a chore to dance around. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1679466' first='Zaydrean' last='Jackson'] won't scare you off the bus, but he was easily one of the top pure coverage guys at camp, even without ideal physical traits. He is still a younger, so he has time to get bigger. Regardless, he plays with quick, patient footwork in coverage and did a good job dissecting at the top of routes. He was scrappy at the point of attack, something that will be needed to compensate for his size. Jackson was a stock up performer and stepped up when competition mounted. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Caplyn Reid measured in at a cut 6'0 207 with a 6'3 wingspan. These events don't showcase the whole picture for LB prospects, but Reid's combination of mass and length proved difficult to separate against in 1 v 1s. He showcased some soft hands as well during drills. Reid is a highly productive tackler on Friday nights and is a prospect who could generate some small-school buzz. In fact, he added an offer from Millsaps College 3 days after our event.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1235329' first='Jayden' last='Tillery'] is a stout, hybrid LB prospect who is more of a nickel, but stood out amongst the LB group regardless. He is another walk-up who stepped up and performed well enough to be recognized as an MVP. His ability to match footwork and run with RBs in competition is what stood out the most. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1020955' first='Lucas' last='Rosser'] played like a maniac and proved to be a chore to guard. He won't scare you off the bus with his size, but he plays the way you need to at defensive line to compensate for his size, with his hair on fire. In fact, he ended up ripping his T-shirt clean off at the end of camp. It was all gas, no breaks for Rosser, which is always fun to watch during a camp setting. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Coleman is a shorter, stout DL prospect who won frequent reps during competition. He tapped into a bag of moves and proved to be a blur when attacking the offensive front. He was quick, explosive, and stout enough to drive if he got tied up. He played with a lot of effort, another compensator for his size. </p>
