Standouts Shine at Baylor Football Camp in Waco

<p><strong>WACO, TX — June 15, 2025</strong><br>The Baylor University football camp brought together elite high school talent from across the state, and several prospects took full advantage of the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of college coaches. From explosive receivers to lockdown defenders, the day was packed with standout performances — and even scholarship offers.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1815414' first='Aiden' last='Seales'] delivered a breakout performance that left no doubt about his elite potential, earning his 4th offer by the end of the camp. At 5'10” and 155 pounds, Seales showcased an explosive first step off the line that consistently gave him separation against man coverage. He excelled in every drill, catching passes cleanly and confidently — even in traffic. His footwork was sharp, and his ability to track the ball in the air showed a level of maturity well beyond his class.</p>    <h3 class="wp-block-heading"></h3>   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"></h3>    <p class="text-gray-700">De'Marcus Davis quietly put together one of the most technically sound showings of the camp. The 2026 wideout ran crisp, efficient routes, making it difficult for defenders to stay with him in and out of breaks. What truly stood out was his ability to make difficult, off-balance catches look routine — whether stretching out for a sideline grab or adjusting mid-air on underthrown balls. Davis has great body control and soft hands, making him a reliable target in tight windows. His overall polish and smooth release off the line showed he's not just athletic — he's also well-coached and fundamentally strong. He left Waco having significantly boosted his stock.</p>    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"></h3>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1577386' first='Denim' last='Steed'] was a name that came up frequently throughout the 1-on-1 period — and for good reason. The Stafford DB used a mix of quick feet, tight hips, and advanced technique to completely shut down his side of the field. He deflected multiple passes, showed perfect leverage on receivers, and displayed a physical but clean style of coverage that frustrated many opponents. In fact, several receivers opted to skip reps against him, a rare sign of respect that only comes when a DB is dominating reps consistently. Steed also communicated well with coaches during drills, showing a high football IQ and a clear understanding of cover concepts. He was hands-down one of the top defensive backs on the field — regardless of class.</p>    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"></h3>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1634720' first='Elijah' last='Brown'] brought a physical edge to the linebacker group that instantly set the tone in RB-vs-LB matchups. He excelled in the 1-on-1 coverage drills, using strong hands and aggressive footwork to jam backs at the line and completely disrupt their timing and routes. His ability to mirror backs in space, shed quick cuts, and stay balanced during change of direction was impressive. Brown didn't just win reps — he dominated them with power and intensity. Coaches were particularly impressed with his physicality in space and his ability to force running backs off their intended tracks. He looked every bit like a college-ready linebacker with size and physical presence.</p>    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" id="block-05f54a06-af0a-4c12-ae8b-17e123df6ee7" />   <p id="block-afd2a118-750a-4228-8777-ca34cc49685d"></p>    <p class="text-gray-700">DeMarus Bird had one of the cleanest quarterback performances of the day, impressing during both positional drills and live-rep sessions. He demonstrated excellent mechanics, timing, and footwork in his drops and consistently threw a tight spiral with velocity and accuracy. What stood out most was his poise under pressure and ability to throw with anticipation — traits that are often missing at the high school level. Bird showed great command of the field, progressing through reads and making smart decisions with the football. His consistent performance during every period left a strong impression on college evaluators and confirmed his potential as a next-level quarterback.</p>    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></h3>   <p>The Baylor Camp in Waco brought out some of Texas's best — and several athletes seized the opportunity to raise their stock. With explosive playmakers like <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1815414' first='Aiden' last='Seales']</strong> earning offers and others like <strong>Steed, Davis, Brown, and Bird</strong> making strong impressions, it's clear the future of Texas high school football remains in great hands.</p>   <p><strong>Written by Derrick Ray</strong><br>Prep Redzone Scout</p>
