You Are Athlete Regional Exposure Camp: High School WRs

On Saturday, May 3 I was fortunate enough to be invited to cover You Are Athlete's New Jersey Regional Exposure Camp. This event had a double session that features middle schoolers first and high schoolers second. As is customary whenever I attend an event, the first thing I take note of are the prospects that have the clear, physical measurables to immediately compete at the next, immediate level of play – also known as the eye test.   Below are my scouting notes from the position group mentioned in this article's title.   Be sure to follow me on <a href="https://x.com/BrendanScoutsNJ">Twitter</a> for the latest updates in New Jersey high school football.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Opening up today's coverage are two out-of-towners. First, [player_tooltip player_id='1669954' first='Marquis' last='Rose Jr'] showed why he is ready to make a big leap as he prepares to enter his junior year. I thought that Rose adjusted to poorly thrown balls behind him extremely well. Like a ballerina, he turned and caught the ball with his hands which much grace. Additionally, he make similar adjustments look routine on deep routes. Later on I noticed how well Rose snaps his hips on an out route, allowing himself more than enough space on an easy conversion... There might have not been a more silky-smooth play than the one Jaden Lockrow made. A New Yorker, Lockrow was running an in-breaking route and had to adjust to a very low throw. As if he was sliding into second base, the 2027 graduate slid and made an just a cold grab, making what should have been a dirt ball a conversion.   It was Two-for weekend as [player_tooltip player_id='852444' first='Kymore' last='Monroe'], a win with brother Niko, had me scrambling to figure out who-was-who on Saturday - only to have to do it again on Sunday as apparently the Monroes and I have the same travel schedule. For Kymore, he runs extremely well, creating separation off of pure speed in his route running. Not lost upon Monroe, however, is his ability to create space in the short passing game. Monroe sunk his hips extremely well, and with ease, in order to fake out his matchup on an outstanding pivot route. Although this was the last note I had on Monroe, it probably will not be the last time they do this, the twins faced off against each other in a cat & mouse drill. Kymore came out on top of this one, but ultimately did not get to sit shotgun as that seat was reserved for the youngest of the Monroes... In terms of deep threats, [player_tooltip player_id='833951' first='Amari' last='Jones'] was a highly viable option. Jones showed that he can stretch a defense vertically and can make plays on the ball with equal proficiency. One play in particular best exemplified this. After beating his defender deep, Jones apparently also beat his quarterback's arm. As a result, Jones was able to show himself coming up victorious on an under thrown pass attempt, that otherwise had no business being converted.   For as great of a play that [player_tooltip player_id='1677109' first='Aidan' last='Kelly'] made, there is still opportunity for him to improve. Kelly ran a comeback route that was was faced with tight coverage, which I personally did not think was necessarily the best ran route. Regardless, Kelly was able to fight through contact throughout the play. Contact was so tough that he actually got bumped and fell; however, as he was falling Kelly tipped the ball, then the defender tipped it, and Kelly managed to ultimately come down with it as he was nearly flat on his side... [player_tooltip player_id='1677110' first='Gavin' last='Hernandez'] closes us out today, as yet another deep threat who proves he can stretch the field. What made Hernandez most noteworthy to me was the fact that on the deep pass attempts he was able to adjust to the balls trajectory. In such sequences, Hernandez proved that he was able to track the deep ball really well.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Are Athlete New Jersey Regional Exposure Camp Coverage</h2>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/you-are-athlete-regional-exposure-camp-middle-school-eye-test">Eye Test, Middle School</a> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/you-are-athlete-regional-exposure-camp-middle-school-dbs">Defensive Backs, Middle School</a> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/you-are-athlete-regional-exposure-camp-middle-school-qbs">Quarterbacks, Middle School</a> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/you-are-athlete-regional-exposure-camp-middle-school-wrs">Receivers, Middle School</a> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/you-are-athlete-regional-exposure-camp-high-school-eye-test">Eye Test, High School</a> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/you-are-athlete-regional-exposure-camp-high-school-dl">Defensive Line, High School</a> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/you-are-athlete-regional-exposure-camp-high-school-wrs">Receivers, High School</a> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/you-are-athlete-regional-exposure-camp-high-school-rb">Running Backs, High School</a>
