PRZVA Winter Showcase: Northern Virginia Impact Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We had team breakdowns on Loudoun Sports Academy, Herndon, Woodgrove and Skyline already, how about one on how other local Northern Virginia products faired?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Quarterbacks:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1229884' first='Alexander' last='Mahmood']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1275050' first='Jonah' last='Howells']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both Flint Hill's Alex Mahmood and Patriot's [player_tooltip player_id='1275050' first='Jonah' last='Howells'] impressed during the Individual and 1vs1 portion. This was not the easiest venue for the quarterbacks to be throwing, and both 2028 prospects made good adjustments. Mahmood started the majority of last season for the Huskies as he looks to get Flint Hill back on track. Howells looks like he is taking the next step in his development and it will be fun to watch him under center next fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Wide Receiver:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1312066' first='Emmett' last='Murphy']- All District wideout [player_tooltip player_id='1312066' first='Emmett' last='Murphy'] held up well in what was a very deep position room. He battled some of the best corners in the state during the 1vs1s and tested very well too. The 2027 rising star picked up his first offer from Grinell College shortly after and his stock will continue to soar this off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/emmettmurphy27/status/2017699962272784656?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/emmettmurphy27/status/2017699962272784656?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2089447' first='Xavier' last='Winkelmann']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2089447' first='Xavier' last='Winkelmann'] out of Wakefield can flat out fly, earning top performer spot with the receiver group. I told you earlier in the week he will be included in the upcoming 2029 rankings, this kid has all the tools. Testing results were solid but what he did best was get open often during the 1vs1s. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/carljfred/status/2018363503795396869?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/carljfred/status/2018363503795396869?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Running Backs:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1692127' first='Sam' last='Ahn']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I didn't get a chance to discuss Independence 2028 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1692127' first='Sam' last='Ahn'] earlier this week, but it has to be mentioned he was very close to taking him the Running back MVP Honors. Ahn had everyone turning heads on site, with his work during the individual sessions. He looks like a bell-cow back that can carry the Tigers back to the postseason in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/sam_ahn2028/status/2017979830273180089?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/sam_ahn2028/status/2017979830273180089?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offensive Line:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1313336' first='Anthony' last='Michael']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1827170' first='Caleb' last='Dennis']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It has been mentioned several times this week already, both Woodson lineman on site made our all camps teams. [player_tooltip player_id='1313336' first='Anthony' last='Michael'] in particular was a stud, and he is sure to be a rankings boost in the next 2027 update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Linebacker:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1665216' first='Blake' last='Sloan']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gainesville product [player_tooltip player_id='1665216' first='Blake' last='Sloan'] is a machine, stepping into a talented linebacker room, Sloan showed off his versatility earning a top performer spot. While he has been an all conference defensive end this past year, he showed last week that his future may be at linebacker though. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BlakeSloan44/status/2018465273951777038?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BlakeSloan44/status/2018465273951777038?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
