He really exceled on the offensive side of the ball where he showcased his receiving skills. J'Vrion was quick to get off the line of scrimmage and was shifty in his route running. He was able to get off press man without any issues and turned it into clean route running abilities. He does a good job of understanding leverage versus his defenders and runs his routes accordingly. There were several catches he made throughout day two that he caught the ball with his hands along with catching outside his frame. I liked how he ran his routes sharp with precision and understood spacing on the defense.   Wright Foster - 2030 - Southeast (TN)   One of the better standouts on the defensive side of the ball out at corner was Wright Foster out of Tennessee in the class of 2030. He had a smooth back pedal with a quick transition from pedal, break to drive on the ball. His eyes were always in the right spot with good eye discipline and didn't bite on double moves. He was really good with knowing leverage and recognizing formations to go along with the offensive tendencies. He played with good technique in zone with knowing his spacing and being able to press the receiver. Wright competed every rep and helped out with leadership in the Southeast secondary.   Seth Lairy - 2030 - Southeast (TN)   Another player that was talented from team Southeast was Seth Lairy who played out at wide receiver and who is also in the class of 2030. He showcased his skills in locating the ball and looked natural catching the ball over the shoulder. There were several times he came down with the 50/50 ball and was physical after the catch. He had some nice yards after catch who took short plays and turned them into long yardage plays. Seth didn't take plays off and didn't jog when the play wasn't coming to him. I liked his football IQ in finding the soft spots in the defense and adjusting his route to find the open windows.   Max Preasha - 2031 - Warren Academy (NE)   A few weeks back I covered the 7 on 7 tournament in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma that Prep Redzone hosted and I had the chance to cover Warren Academy. I wrote down a few notes about him back then, but he was even more impressive this weekend in day two of our tournament. He has a good understanding about spacing out on the field in where he needs to be in the passing concepts to help out his quarterbacks and move the sticks. He does a good job in catching the football in traffic with strong hands. He was really good on his routes, running short to intermediate and Warren Academy likes to move him around with motions to gain advantages on the defense.   Myles McDaniel - 2030 - Arkansas Diamond Boys (AR)   Here is another athlete from Arkansas Diamond Boys out of the Little Rock area that displayed great ball skills in day two of the tournament. Myles was active all day with crossing routes and his underneath mesh concepts finding the open window. He made several catches all over the field with these concepts and showed high football IQ in finding the soft spots in the in the zone. Teams struggled to try and man him up as Myles showed he could separate at the top of the route with his change of direction. Myles made several catches that showed off his catch radius where he was making catches outside his frame. Arkansas Diamond Boys have several wide receivers that have Jimmy Beasley III getting the ball to.   Nash Borchardt - 2030 - JAG Elite (KS)   Nash is another standout from JAG Elite who played quarterback that ended up winning the 14U division in Springfield this past weekend. JAG Elite was fundamentally sound and that's where Nash really stood out. He never put his team in bad situations or forced the ball where it didn't need to be. They had their favorite play they would always start the game with that got them on track and on schedule. Nash did a good job at moving the pocket toward the multiple receiver side and took what the defense gave him. He threw the ball at all kinds of different levels to put the ball in the spot where only his receivers could get to. Nash has a high football IQ and never puts his team in long situations all throughout the day.   Cameron Hanns - 2030 - Warren Academy - (NE)   Here is another athlete from Warren Academy out of Nebraska that stood out on day two of the route 66 classic tournament. Cameron is another talented receiver that comes out of the academy who runs good routes and a reliable target for both quarterbacks. He is quick to get in and out of his breaks without losing any of his speed. He made several acrobatic catches all while controlling his body hauling in the reception. Cameron does a good job of tracking the ball all the way to his hands and keeps the ball away from his body. He is a competitor that has strong hands and made some catches in heavy traffic. He also understands leverage and where he needs to get to even if he is not getting the ball to open up other receivers.
