Ford Sports Performance camp: Day 1 standouts 

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ford Sports Performance is holding its annual two-day training camp in the hopes of solidifying upcoming 7-on-7 and spring football rosters.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Given the number of stars that have come of the program, it's a good idea for fans of Washington high school football to keep tabs on the standouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the top performers from the first two practices of the training camp:&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LB [player_tooltip player_id='652796' first='Liufau' last='Loumoli'], IMG Academy (Florida; 2027) - “He looked as good as advertised walking into his last full-year of Team FSP.&nbsp; A four-year starter at FSP… since he was an eighth grader. He looked and made his presence known.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Loumoli is a rising three-star recruit with nearly 30 scholarship offers, so it's no surprise to see him star any time he steps on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-foot-1, 210-pound tackle machine holds offers from Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Cal, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, USC, Washington and others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB [player_tooltip player_id='2087218' first='Noah' last='Smith'], Puyallup (2027) - “He took the majority of the reps with the first team. Coming back as the returning starter after taking the job last spring. He seemed to be able to make every throw and had the command of the team.”&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1916941' first='Aidan' last='Muilenburg'], Peninsula (2027) - “The big 6-foot-4 tight end seemed to be the security blanket in the first practice for Noah. He made a ton of plays in the full team period.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saturday's practices were a good sign for the young TE/DE, as his junior season was cut short due to injury.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The bounce-back shows that Muilenburg will be force sooner rather than later. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL/DL Junior Leapai, Auburn Riverside (2027) — “The massive 315-pound guard has all the makings of a big-time recruit. Look to see him make a huge jump this offseason.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offensive linemen who can move and really play at 300-plus pounds remain a rarity on the West Coast, so Leapai is a definite player to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ATH Daniel Hayes, Rainer Beach (2027) - “Two back-to-back consistent practices. Did not lose a rep in one-on-ones and his 6-foot-3 frame made it very difficult for wide receivers to get off the line.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hayes' size makes him an intriguing riser to keep an eye on in the class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB/LB J'Andre Castillo, O'Dea (2028)- “He will be a rising star and a big-time prospect. Made play after play and took the ball away multiple times. He has potential to be one of the best ‘backers on the West Coast.”&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1599613' first='Eden' last='Gilbert'], Hazen (2027) - “The shifty wide receiver was un-guardable in one-on-ones and seemed to be the confident pass catcher that was an answer to problems for the first-team offense.”&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ATH Jerimiah Asuncion, Holy Cross (Canada; 2029)- “The big-time playmaker ended practice with a dynamic catch over two defenders to close out the last team period.”&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
