7v7Elite: Lake City Top Performers

<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Raef Cubbedge | ATH | 2030 | Bradford | @RaefCubb</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Paced Labor 15U)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cubbedge showed advanced traits for his age group. He separates with tempo and subtle head movement rather than just speed, which makes him difficult to mirror in short areas. Strong body control at the catch point and consistently wins in contested situations. When Paced Labor needed a conversion, he was the primary option. Also showed vocal leadership traits and athleticism playing in the middle defensively. Earned MVP honors and backed it up with production.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2122460' first='Kyren' last='Caldwell'] | WR | 2027 | Columbia | @CaldwellKyren</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(386 Elite)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caldwell is a smooth, controlled route runner who understands spacing. He finds soft spots in coverage, tracks the ball naturally, and transitions in and out of breaks without wasted movement. Not flashy, but consistently productive. Continues trending toward a strong spring. Had one of the top moments of the weekend.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dominic Smith | ATH | 2028 | @Dominic_Smith22</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Team Takeoff 15U)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith impacted the game on both sides. Offensively, he stresses coverage with pacing and burst, and he understands leverage in 7v7 concepts. Defensively, he covered ground well and communicated pre-snap. Competitive kid who plays with urgency. One of the more complete two-way performers in his division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brock Elliot | WR | 2030 | IG: brock_elliot_2030</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Cobras 14U)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elliot was a reliable target throughout the weekend. Works zones effectively and has enough vertical ability to threaten over the top. Catches the ball cleanly and looks comfortable operating at multiple levels. A young receiver whose consistency stood out more than anything.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132947' first='Tevin' last='Hargrove'] | ATH | 2029 | @Tevinhargrove08</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Clutch Performance)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hargrove brings legitimate length and catch radius for his class. Extends naturally away from his body and finishes through contact. Flashed the ability to win at receiver and compete at DB. The physical tools are ahead of schedule, and continued strength development will determine how quickly he rises.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Antwan Lockett | WR | Colquitt County | @AntwanLock1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Top Flight)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lockett plays with speed and shiftiness on the perimeter but also showed he can operate inside when needed. Strong hands and good frame allow him to win through contact. Production matched the physical profile this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Anthony McClendon | ATH | IG: cant_guardme14</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Paced Labor)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McClendon's combination of size and athleticism made him difficult to defend in isolated matchups. Shows comfort high-pointing the football and finishing above defenders. Still refining route detail, but the natural ball skills and competitive edge are there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Javion Blunt | WR | 2027 | Dunnellon | @jav00_17</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(352 Reapers)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-5, 175, Blunt offers clear boundary upside. Long frame, extended catch radius, and the ability to work vertically. Strong hands through traffic. Continued physical development will be important, but the frame and traits project well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rasheed Grant | DB | 2028 | Mandarin | @RasheedGrantJr</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Cobras)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Physically impressive at 6-3, 185. Looks the part immediately. Shows comfort in both man and zone, tracks the ball well, and competes at the catch point. Logged multiple interceptions this weekend. A prospect whose stock should rise with more exposure this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ja'Quaveon Nelson | WR | 2027 | Worth County | @NelsonJaquaveo1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Top Flight)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nelson brings verified speed to the field. Explosive off the line and capable of flipping field position in a single play. Production reflected the traits — defenders had to respect his vertical ability all weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1900700' first='Josiah' last='Hall'] | ATH | 2029 | Lake Nona | IG: peettho.hall2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(C.O.D.E.)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hall played with consistent effort and competitiveness. Reliable hands and willingness to attack the football in traffic. Shows encouraging all-around athletic traits and projects as a rising young prospect with continued development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
