Concord Prospect Camp RB/LB Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nearly 90 prospects from all over the region and beyond made their way to Concord University for their second prospect camp of the summer. PRZ WV was in attendance, checking out what talent Southern WV and surrounding states had to offer, with numbers and talent plentiful. Here are the running backs and linebackers who caught my eye on Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>RUNNING BACKS</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["922040"],"_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-684de5d926bd4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's been a long time coming for 2026 Herbert Hoover RB [player_tooltip player_id='922040' first='Blake' last='Fisher'] to receive his first offer, and Concord was the first to pull the trigger after a solid showing at their prospect camp on Friday. He's been a very good player for the Huskies the past two seasons as one of the better prospects in the 2026 class in our eyes. Fisher is a versatile athlete who could play RB or Slot at the next level with DB potential, too. His background as a receiver before transitioning to primarily running back gave him a great advantage during 1-on-1s, matching up with linebackers in the slot. Fisher is very comfortable as a pass catcher with developed route running ability and reliable hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After a great camp and conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDylanQuick?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDylanQuick</a> I am blessed to receive my 1st offer from Concord University! <a href="https://twitter.com/jfields50?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jfields50</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PullUpNRek304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PullUpNRek304</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneWV?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneWV</a> <a href="https://t.co/thSmEJj4O1">pic.twitter.com/thSmEJj4O1</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='922040' first='Blake' last='Fisher'] (@Blake_Fisher01) <a href="https://twitter.com/Blake_Fisher01/status/1933663193429119014?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 13, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Cashton Revels","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mount Airy (NC)","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684de5d926cac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An under-the-radar 2026 prospect out of North Carolina to know from the Concord Prospect Camp is RB Cashton Revels. He doesn't appear to be active on X, so it's tough to say if he earned an offer from the Mountain Lions or any other colleges to date, but I'd be surprised if he didn't after his showing on Friday. Film is also light on his HUDL page, so Revels may end up being a hidden gem with his name not out there much yet. He was one of the fastest athletes in attendance with a 4.6 40, and that athleticism translated well during position drills and 1-on-1s. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jahnard Young","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"195","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Piper (FL)","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684de5d926d47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An impressive Florida prospect that I and the host team liked was 2027 Piper (FL) RB Jahnard Young. He was one of several Piper athletes who received offers after the camp and was rewarded for their long trip north. Young was the most physically impressive athlete among the running back group and still just a 2027 prospect with another year and a half of development to go. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch any of his 1-on-1 reps, but Young was one of the first athletes that I made note of when watching testing and individual position drills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Overly blessed to receive my first college offer from <a href="https://twitter.com/ConcordFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ConcordFootball</a> 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Thank you <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDylanQuick?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDylanQuick</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachShort53?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachShort53</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Piper_Athletics?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Piper_Athletics</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/piperprincipal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@piperprincipal</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Bengal_Sports_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Bengal_Sports_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/burleyjj?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@burleyjj</a> <a href="https://t.co/u2BV6FKGIa">pic.twitter.com/u2BV6FKGIa</a></p>&mdash; Jahnard Young (@JahnardYoung) <a href="https://twitter.com/JahnardYoung/status/1933661784365211660?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 13, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>LINEBACKERS</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Malachi Elick","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"200","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Graham (VA)","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684de5d926ea7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top overall prospects in attendance at the Concord prospect Camp on Friday, in my eyes, was 2026 Graham (VA) LB Malachi Elick. He immediately stood out physically among most of the campers at 6'3 and a developed frame. That continued during individual position drills, watching him move around fluidly. At 6'3 200, he's played safety to date but worked out as a linebacker and feels like his most natural position at the next level. Elick has the physicality and lateral quickness to develop into a future high-level college starter with D1 potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Blessed to pick up my 4th offer from concord university !!!<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneVA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneVA</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/FTRreport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FTRreport</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CUCoachEdwards?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CUCoachEdwards</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_DWhitney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_DWhitney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeHor05411621?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MikeHor05411621</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Dabigman41?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Dabigman41</a> <a href="https://t.co/Xgf4lbxo5Z">pic.twitter.com/Xgf4lbxo5Z</a></p>&mdash; Malachi Elick (@Malielick2026) <a href="https://twitter.com/Malielick2026/status/1933671983168041383?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 13, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jaytoin Thomas","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"210","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Piper (FL)","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684de5d926f3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A talented group of prospects made the long trip up from Piper (FL) with several of them earning offers from the host Mountain Lions. That list included 2027 LB Jaytoin Thomas, who was the #2 LB prospect in attendance in my eyes. He had some quality winning reps during 1-on-1s that I was able to observe. Thomas did a nice job of jamming his man five yards out and knocking them off balance to alter their route. Lateral quickness can be improved to aid him further in pass coverage out of their breaks, but Thomas proved he has the upside to warrant an offer after the camp.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Blessed to receive my first offer from CONCORD UNIVERSITY <a href="https://t.co/ApELJe77IH">pic.twitter.com/ApELJe77IH</a></p>&mdash; Jaytoin Thomas (@jaytointhomas1) <a href="https://twitter.com/jaytointhomas1/status/1933690274875842768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1139384"],"_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-684de5d926f87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A small school name to know from James Monroe is 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1139384' first='Brock' last='Parker'], a versatile athlete who can be plugged in at a few different positions.

Parker has the raw athleticism to mold into a future college starter, running a 4.6 40 twice and a 9.5-foot broad jump.
