Beyond the MVPs: Standout 2029 Football City Clash Prospects

25 total 14U teams are competing for their ticket to the PRZ 7v7 National Championship in April, and have shown out during day one of pool play at the Football City Clash in Rock Hill, SC! Many 2029 prospects played up in the 14U group, with some highlighted in our <a href="https://prepredzone.com/next/">MVPs articles</a>, but here are some of the top rising 10th graders from this weekend!    2029 Team CJ WR [player_tooltip player_id='1870841' first='Zion' last='Caesar'] looked every bit the part of a highly ranked prospect, and it showed in how easy he made things look throughout the weekend. An effortless mover, he glides across the field with fluidity and control, creating separation without wasting motion. Caesar tracked the ball naturally and caught it cleanly with his hands, often securing passes in stride and keeping plays alive. His leaping ability adds another layer, giving him an advantage at the catch point. There's a high ceiling here, and Caesar has the tools to keep climbing as one of the top receivers in his class in North Carolina.     2029 Team CJ LB [player_tooltip player_id='2155245' first='Joshua' last='Stevenson'] looks the part the moment he steps on the field, pairing a developed frame with real athletic ability. He backed it up with his movement, showing range and lateral quickness while handling the middle of the field with confidence. Stevenson plays fluid for the position and closes space in a hurry, which showed up all weekend. The 4.59 40 mark at the SKLZ challenge speaks to the kind of athlete he is, and it translates on the field. Stevenson feels like a player who's right on the edge of breaking out in a big way.     2029 Carolina Swarm WR Anthony Chmielewski gave his team another reliable weapon and saved some of his best work for Championship Sunday. He consistently found ways to get open, showing a developed feel as a route runner and making himself available when it mattered. Chmielewski caught the ball cleanly and played with confidence, adding to an already talented receiver group. He also held his own at defensive back, showing the ability to contribute on both sides. Chmielewski put together a well-rounded performance and was a steady piece in their bracket play run.     2029 336 Elite QB [player_tooltip player_id='2155718' first='Miles' last='Waltonen'] put together a composed and efficient showing, operating with a solid foundation from snap to throw. He's mechanically sound and it shows in the way the ball comes out, delivering with touch and giving his receivers catchable opportunities. Waltonen did a good job working through his reads and didn't panic when things weren't there right away. He was willing to challenge tight windows and trusted his placement to give his guys a shot. Waltonen kept the offense on schedule and played with a steady confidence throughout.     Winning in the air became his calling card, as 2029 Lowcountry Dawgz WR Jamier Stanley consistently came down with contested catches throughout the weekend. Lined up opposite [player_tooltip player_id='1301767' first='Nathyus' last='Fabor'], he gave the offense another dynamic option and made defenses pay for it. Stanley showed impressive leaping ability, elevating over defenders and owning those 50/50 jump balls. His concentration stood out as well, securing tough catches in traffic and finishing plays strong. Stanley brought a reliable edge to the passing game and made his presence felt all weekend.     Blink and he's gone, 2029 No Days Off WR Isaiah Charlton V brought a burst that kept defenses on edge all weekend. He's a smaller target, but his quickness and speed made it tough for defenders to stay attached once he got moving. Charlton consistently created separation and showed he can take the top off if corners are slow to turn and run. He plays fast, confident, and doesn't need much space to make something happen. Charlton added a dynamic element to the offense every time he stepped on the field.     2029 Carolina Vice WR/DB [player_tooltip player_id='2155240' first='Rico' last='Johnson'] flashed the kind of upside that's hard to miss, showing up as a fluid, longer athlete who contributed on both sides of the ball. He moved well in space and showed good closing and recovery speed, allowing him to stay competitive even when challenged. Johnson is still putting it all together, but the tools are there and they showed throughout the weekend. There's a natural athleticism to his game that gives him a high ceiling, and Johnson looks like a player who could take a big jump as he continues to develop.     2029 Carolina Motion WR Dillan Evans-Jones was the go-to option in the passing game, consistently finding ways to get open and keep the offense moving. He showed a natural feel for spacing, settling into holes in the defense and making himself available to his quarterback. Evans-Jones paired that with good burst and sharp breaks, creating separation without needing much time. He played like a natural athlete, and Evans-Jones gave his team a reliable target they could lean on every drive.     2029 Blitz Green WR DJ Grove brought a spark to the offense as a smaller, dynamic slot target who could change the pace in a hurry. His quickness and burst showed up right away, allowing him to separate underneath and create easy throwing windows. Grove also proved he could stretch the field, using his speed to get behind defenders despite his size. Once he had a step, it was tough to catch him. Grove added a big-play element every time he touched the field.
