Thomas-Flores was a consistent thorn for his opponents all camp long. He mainly plays defensive end, however due to his size and technique, he even got some looks at offensive tackle. Thomas-Flores used his very good strength to overpower his opponents. Showed off his flexibility and bend while rushing around the corner. Explosive out of his stance with very good hand speed. He'd use his smooth swim and spin moves to win the reps. Throughout; he showed his coachability including when he was getting reps as an offensive tackle. Attentive, smart, and implemented what was taught. As an offensive tackle, he showed his good use of hands and controlled footwork. He has a very high ceiling with a lot of potential and dominated throughout. Colleges should take note of his performance.     Rollins showed why he's a top 2029 defensive end at the event, impressing coaches, players, and myself. Rollins held a top 5 broad jump at the event. He was very explosive out of his stance using his very good hand speed to combat OL techniques. Very good strength. Demonstrated a very good bend around the edge paired with superb body control. He uses his quick, controlled, body movements to dominate. Rollins used his lengthy arms paired with very good spin and swim moves to consistently win reps against his opponents. Rollins is a mixture of power and finesse making it look like he's effortlessly swimming around the offensive line. He has a lot of promise and with continued development is going to be a nightmare for opposing offenses.     Rueschhoff has been a dominating presence at our events for the past couple of years, and this one was no different. During the drill portion, he showed off his very good balance and change of direction. During the linebacker individual portion, Rueschhoff knocked it out of the park. Showcasing his very quick and controlled feet paired with great concentration to catch the ball afterwards. He was very attentive and coachable throughout. During the competition portion, he continued to thrive. Using his very good read and reaction speed to disrupt passes and timing on routes. Very good lateral quickness staying square while watching the QB's eyes. Rueschhoff's competitive nature was on fire all camp paired with an excellent performance should have colleges taking notice of him.     Farbes has been another linebacker who's shown out at our events before. He continued where he left off and didn't disappoint. During the L-drill and pro-shuttle, he demonstrated his very good balance, body control and good bend. During the linebacker portion, he showed off his very quick and controlled footwork in between the cones. Very good concentration to not miss the cones and still come down with the catch at the end. He did a great job in the competitive portion. Using his very good read and reaction speed, he put himself in position to consistently make a play. Used his very good lateral quickness and range to disrupt and create plays for the defense. Farbes has started the off-season hot, and with continued performances like these watch out !     Blanchard had a day during the event. He did great during the drills, however; I was thoroughly impressed watching him during the competition portion. A technically sound, scrappy corner. Blanchard did a great job jamming WRs at the LOS and re-routing them. Smooth and controlled back pedal with a fluid torso to match WR's breaking off into their route. Blanchard would stick to them like glue, staying stride for stride. Very good closing quickness. Great timing on his pass break ups. Very good ball tracking. He got in front of the WR, propelled himself up and got the interception. He gave wideouts little to no separation and balled out throughout. He's also the younger brother of Army TE Jackson Blanchard who was also an attendant at our events in the past. Great talent runs in the family!     Veasley Jr. brought his track speed to the event earning top speeds in the 40, pro shuttle, and broad jump. He's an athletic player with very good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and jumping. During the competition portion, he took it to another level. Excelled at jamming the WR and re-routing them. Smooth back pedal with fluid hips to match WRs breaking out into their route. He'd consistently stick to the WR like glue. Used his very good closing quickness paired with his ball tracking and timing to create incompletions or pass breakups. Used his very good read and reaction speed and watched the QB's eyes to disrupt the rhythm of the offensive players. I was impressed with how he played, and I'm excited to see how continues to shine throughout camp season.
