Unfortunately, not everyone's L-Drill scores were recorded. Therefore, the testing scores for that specific test won't feature everyone.   20-yard dash   No. 1 Lucas Kreider: 2.737   No. 2 [player_tooltip player_id='1592966' first='Michael' last='Stewart']: 2.817   No. 3 Ryan Thomas: 2.879   No. 4 Brock Newcomb: 2.894   No. 5 Andre Westry: 2.917   No. 6 [player_tooltip player_id='1576378' first='Cameron' last='Peoples']: 2.930   No. 7 [player_tooltip player_id='1691882' first='Jewelz' last='Hernandez']: 2.972   No. 8 Jax crow: 2.995   No. 9 Dex Tullis: 2.986   No. 10 Jai'seer Simmons: 3.007   Pro Agility (5-10-5)   No. 1 Ryan Thomas: 4.36   No. 2 [player_tooltip player_id='1592966' first='Michael' last='Stewart']: 4.5   No. 3 Lucas Kreider: 4.53   No. 4a [player_tooltip player_id='1741505' first='Devin' last='Tullis']: 4.58   No. 4a [player_tooltip player_id='1576378' first='Cameron' last='Peoples'] 4.58   No. 4a Brock Newcomb 4.58   No. 7 [player_tooltip player_id='1691882' first='Jewelz' last='Hernandez'] 4.62   No. 8 Jai 'seer Simmons 4.76   No. 9 Bryce Miller 4.77   No. 10 Jax Crow 4.8   L DRILL    No. 1 Ryan Thomas: 7.943   No. 2 Jax Crow: 7.961   No. 3 [player_tooltip player_id='1741505' first='Devin' last='Tullis']: 8.292   No. 4 [player_tooltip player_id='1691882' first='Jewelz' last='Hernandez']: 8.361   No. 5 Julian Bratcher: 8.39   No. 6 Bryce Hinkle: 8.454   No. 7 Greysn Towles: 8.518   No. 8 Kayden Ewell: 8.66   No. 9 Garrison Pope: 8.685   No. 10 Dom Ward: 8.831   TOP EYE TESTERS   There were a few athletes who stood out at their positions due to their size in their particular positions and testing performance.   LINEMEN   The most physically imposing prospect at the whole camp was Class of 2029 offensive lineman Anthony Brown. He's listed at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds. My guess is that he's not done growing.   SKILL POSITIONS   Class of 2029 wide receiver Damon Bailey Jr. (5-10, 164 pounds) and Class of 2029 Jai'seer Simmons (6-0, 160 pounds) were two other kids who stood out physically at their position. They are both tall for their age in their position, and I don't think either one is done growing.   TOP OVERALL TESTER   Even without knowing the numbers, I knew Ryan Thomas would be near or at the top of all testing categories. You could see that his quick-twitch movements were on a higher level than those of the majority of the kids there. He finished in the top three (including two No. 1 performances) in all of the testing.
