We had some outstanding talent from all over the state in attendance and from some of the surrounding states. We will have a TON of breakdowns on Prep Redzone Oklahoma following the event and a lot of video on our&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@PrepRedzoneOklahoma">Prep Redzone Oklahoma YouTube Channel</a></strong>&nbsp;this week as well. In this breakdown, I'm putting the spotlight on the offensive skill positions with five standouts that stood out to me at running back and wide receiver on Sunday afternoon in Broken Arrow! And heads up, these aren't the only skill players that performed well. Check out the website for more of our breakdowns!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1726786' first='Beau' last='Daniels'] - 2029 Running Back - Collinsville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Collinsville 2029 running back [player_tooltip player_id='1726786' first='Beau' last='Daniels'] had a nice breakout party on Sunday. He was right there with Heilmann as the top running backs in the camp and to be honest, watching them work in close proximity to one another, there's a lot about Daniels' game that reminds us of Heilmann. The Collinsville freshman also impressed the college coaches in attendance and he also tested really well. And with the Cardinals losing their star running back to graduation, that's going to open the door for Daniels to be the marquee back for Collinsville this fall. After watching him in person on Sunday, not only does he look like he's ready for that challenge, but he's going to embrace it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1265960' first='Drake' last='Estala'] - 2028 Athlete - Shawnee</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shawnee 2028 athlete [player_tooltip player_id='1265960' first='Drake' last='Estala'] is another player that had a breakout performance at the camp Sunday. Estala was listed on our roster at wide receiver but it felt like he took reps at a little bit of everything on Sunday. Estala really stood out to us in 1 on 1's when he was working at the running back spot. Estala is a very versatile player that did a really good job of competing and getting as much work in as possible. Those prospects are always going to stand out to us during these events. The guys that are working multiple positions, getting as many reps in as possible. Estala was one of those players on Sunday. He's a player to keep an eye on for Shawnee this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1261479' first='Evan' last='Adams'] - 2029 Wide Receiver - Poteau</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was our second time to watch Poteau 2029 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1261479' first='Evan' last='Adams'] in person in the last month. Adams played well at our second Oklahoma 7v7 tourney and then he performed even better on Sunday. Adams is another prospect that we've seen continue to evolve his game and grow from a physical standpoint, making him a name to remember in this 2029 class. Every time we watched Adams take a rep, he was winning that rep. Even if he didn't get away from the defensive back, he still made a very tough catch. There's no other way to describe Adams, he's an incredibly reliable playmaker. And what's scary is that he still has room to grow and his best football is ahead of him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1837330' first='Gage' last='Sharp'] - 2028 Wide Receiver - Cushing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first of two 2028 Cushing wide receivers featured on this breakdown is [player_tooltip player_id='1837330' first='Gage' last='Sharp'] and he stood out in more ways than one. First off, Sharp tested incredibly well, finishing with the third fastest time in the 40-yard dash at 4.52 seconds. We knew that Sharp had speed but that definitely turned some heads. Then during the 1 on 1 competition, Sharp was a very reliable target for whichever quarterback he was working with. Not only was he able to showcase that speed to create easy separation but even on reps where he had a defender draped on him, he still found a way to make a play. Sharp might have been underrated coming into Sunday's camp but that's not the case anymore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1633137' first='Lane' last='Simpson'] - 2028 Wide Receiver - Cushing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2028 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1633137' first='Lane' last='Simpson'] is the other Cushing standout and one that we knew about coming into Sunday. Simpson earned All State honors as a sophomore, standing out on both sides of the ball. On Sunday, Simpson went to work on offense and performed incredibly well. Like his teammate, Simpson also finished in the top five for the 40-yard dash after he ran a 4.62 40. And like his teammate, Simpson used that speed to get open and make catch after catch on Sunday. Cushing had multiple players in attendance and it seemed like every time we turned around, one of them was making a big play. Simpson and the rest of the Tigers are going to be very fun to watch this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
