Lining up at running back, receiver, and even contributing as a defensive back, he showed just how versatile and dangerous he can be. His explosiveness jumped out right away, and once he got the ball in his hands, he looked like a natural playmaker who could flip the field in a hurry. Franklin quickly became one of the primary threats in their offense, creating problems for defenses that struggled to keep track of him. With his athleticism and feel for the game, he's got a really bright future ahead.     A strong two-way presence throughout the session, 2030 Matthews Elite ATH Cole Jenkins made plays wherever he lined up. With good length for his age, he consistently won downfield, especially attacking the seams and finding space between defenders. He showed toughness hauling in catches through contact, and proved to be a reliable target they looked for often. On the defensive side, Jenkins flashed playmaking ability as well, creating opportunities for turnovers and impacting the game in all facets.     Length and athleticism immediately stand out for 2030 Fort Mill Saints WR [player_tooltip player_id='2155358' first='Zachary' last='Jean-Pierre'], who consistently presented matchup problems throughout the session. He elevated well at the catch point, using his leaping ability to expand his catch radius and win above defenders in contested situations. His quarterback had a clear advantage throwing his way with the kind of physical presence he brought. He even added value on the defensive side by helping generate points, showing his all-around playmaking ability. With his tools and upside, he's a name to keep an eye on moving forward.     2031 SC Outlaws WR Jason Owens turned in one of the cleanest performances of Session Two, standing out with his advanced route running and overall polish. He consistently created separation with sharp breaks and quickness, making him a tough cover in both man and zone looks. Owens showed a great feel for spacing, finding, and creating openings with ease while giving his quarterback a dependable option. His speed popped, and he backed it up with reliable hands to finish plays. It was a performance that put him right in the conversation as one of the top route runners of the day.     2030 Champions QB [player_tooltip player_id='2152133' first='Ashton' last='Jones'] put himself firmly in the mix as one of the top quarterbacks in session two with a smooth, efficient performance. The ball jumped out of his hand with zip and a tight spiral, and his quick release kept defenses on their heels. As a lefty, he brought a different look that added to the challenge, especially with how well he could drive the ball to all areas of the field. Jones stayed mechanically sound throughout and was especially impressive throwing on the move, delivering accurate passes while rolling out. Jones also showed the ability to layer throws with touch, particularly in the end zone, making it look effortless from start to finish.     2031 Team CJ Black WR/DB [player_tooltip player_id='2155184' first='Elijah' last='Douglas'] made his impact felt on both sides of the ball, showing up as a true two-way playmaker throughout the session. He found ways to create scoring plays offensively while also making things happen defensively, bringing value in every phase. Douglas moved with fluidity and looked like a natural athlete in space, handling multiple roles with ease. His versatility gives his team plenty of ways to use him, and Douglas consistently made the most of his opportunities whenever the ball came his way.     2031 2SIX Training QB [player_tooltip player_id='2153013' first='Cymee'' last='McCullough'] put together a solid showing, competing hard and leading his group with confidence throughout the session. Though smaller in stature, he played bigger than his size, trusting his receivers and giving them chances to go make plays, especially in jump ball situations. McCullough did a great job getting multiple teammates involved, keeping the offense balanced and active. He also showed his athleticism and selfless approach by sliding back to safety when needed on defense. McCullough's competitiveness and effort stood out every time he stepped on the field, which earned him a session two MVP spot.     With his size and length, 2030 G7 Concord White WR [player_tooltip player_id='2153716' first='Gavin' last='Brown'] is hard to miss the moment he steps on the field. He gives his quarterback a large target to work with, not just with his frame but with an expanded catch radius that makes throws more forgiving. Brown consistently caught the ball with his hands and showed the ability to secure passes in stride, keeping plays moving. There's a lot to like about his early development, and Brown is definitely a name to watch closely heading into bracket play on day two.
