<p class="text-gray-700">Williams played on Team Mamba and was named MVP in one of the four pool games that they played on DAY 1. I had an opportunity to watch the Virginia football commit play in a pool game. He was efficient and threw a couple of touchdowns in his team's win. On one completion, he went through his reads before hitting a crossing pattern late. Williams did the same thing a few throws later, hitting a different receiver. One of these touchdown throws, she showed some zip on an out-route for a touchdown down in the red zone. On his other touchdown throw, he quickly recognized an open man on the left sideline and got the pass out to him, which ended up as a touchdown. He was selected as one of the top performers in the Class of 2026. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I only saw one of his games (Team Fire), but Pickett caught a touchdown pass off a wheel route coming out of the backfield in the red zone. His performance earned him an invitation to one of the NXGN Pro Days sponsored by Adidas camps in 2026. Below are a few of his touchdown catches.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I had the opportunity to see King in a few 1v1 reps and got an extended look at him during linemen's Indy's, more so with his footwork. During 1v1s I watched, he was quick off the snap and showed solid explosion. On the reps he lost, King lost the leverage battle by coming into high and didn't reset his hands when locked up. If he can also work on developing more counter moves (like a spin or arm-over), it'll help complement his initial rush. I do like the fact that he's intentional with his hand usage. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I only had an opportunity to see Stanford in one game (Team Shine). During that game, he broke up a pass in the red zone (see video below). His performance during the weekend earned him an invite to one of the NXGN Pro Day Camps (sponsored by Adidas) in 2026. I had an excellent opportunity to see him stand out as a leader on the field during the game I watched. He helped his teammates by explaining pass coverages on the fly and didn't get down on them when coverage breakdowns led to touchdowns. Stanford is clearly on the radar, and all he needs now is a strong junior year to improve his stock even more as a rising 2027 prospect.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I am surprised that Clarke did not earn a nod as one of the top 2026 performers. During 1v1s, I watched him in nine matchups, and he won six of those. He did a good job standing tall against bull rushes and inside power moves. On one rep, he rested his feet and absorbed contact effectively, winning the leverage battle. Clarke also showed an ability to recover after being off-balance on another rep. He was able to rest his hands and feet without panicking. Clarke also showed good hand placement and strength on a couple of other reps. He neutralized spin attempts by staying square and keeping active hands on the defender's frame. He had a couple of losses where he didn't handle the defensive lineman's initial burst at the snap and wasn't consistent with his initial punch. Overall, he took on a lot of defensive linemen and had a good showing.</p>
