<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1665981' first='Webb' last='Elkington'] - Southeast (TN)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I really liked Webb playing with Southeast out of Tennessee. Webb showed great ball placement and timing with his receivers throughout the weekend. He has solid mechanics, a live arm, and consistently made good decisions. What stood out most was his poise and command of the game, playing with confidence from start to finish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2136388' first='Ben' last='Fath'] - Sooner 7 (OK)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I really liked this athlete out of Oklahoma with Sooner 7. He showed strong body control, tracked the ball over his shoulder, and consistently made catches all over the field. A great athlete who moves well, he was effective in traffic and came up with big plays for his team. He also showed a good understanding of spacing along with solid eye-hand coordination.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Blake Heckler - Elite Speed - (MO)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first player that caught my eye from team Elite Speed was Blake Heckler. He showed strong hands and an ability to extend his catch radius outside his frame, consistently making plays in traffic. With long arms, athleticism, and toughness, he competed at a high level all weekend. His route running stood out, and he consistently found ways to win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kaylan Smith - Elite Speed - (MO)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another athlete from Elite Speed is Kaylan Smith. A long, athletic prospect with a good frame who contributed at both safety and wide receiver. He creates mismatches with his size and versatility and does a great job roaming the secondary. He drove on the ball well and made several nice plays on the back end for his team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Braylon Williams - Elite Speed - (MO)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Braylon Williams, out of the St. Louis area, was a corner who really stood out this past week, again with team Elite Speed. He showed the ability to be left on an island, earning trust with his consistent play. He competed all weekend, displaying solid technique in both man and zone coverage, along with good change of direction and eye discipline.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gmauri Hodges - Elite Speed - (MO)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another player who caught my eye out of the St. Louis area is Gmauri. A smart, versatile athlete who finds open windows and creates separation with his route running. He shows a strong understanding of passing concepts and made several tough catches in traffic. A true competitor with good change of direction and the ability to consistently get open.<br><br><strong>Roman Thornton - Paramount Elite - (NE)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a player I was able to get my eyes on several weeks back at the Oklahoma Shootout in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. A physical defensive back who plays with strong hands and excels in man coverage, consistently getting hands on receivers and driving on the ball. He recorded several pass breakups and was tough to beat. Offensively, he showed strong hands, competed for the football, and high-pointed well, coming away with multiple catches throughout the weekend.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> <br><br><strong><br></strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
