<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We were on the road in Fort Wayne last week to check out the top performers at the Fort Wayne College Days. College coaches at all levels converged on the northern Indiana town to check out some of the best prospects in the state. Here are four standouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1862988"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f20808cd7af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">All eyes were on Class of 2027 edge Ifeanyi Emedobi at the college day workout. Extremely gifted athlete – tall, long, rangy and explosive edge with huge upside. Quick and fast, loose hipped, very athletic and long legged. I saw him in-person last winter and he only keeps getting bigger and stronger. Quick and explosive first step, very rangy and twitchy, On tape he is a blue-chip pass rusher with a high motor, takes great angles to QBs and can deliver big hits. Very disruptive prospect. Last season was his first year playing football, still adding weight to his frame, could be Indiana's top prospect in the Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1955225"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f20808cd831"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've seen Class of 2028 Maddox Weil for many years now, and watching him blossom into a top recruit has not been surprising. Very explosive, very quick in/out of his breaks, a great hands with adjustment to the ball.  Soft hands, snatches the ball out of the air, and is dangerous after the catch. Legit deep-play threat who can stretch the field. Top-tier route runner who can make defenders miss in space and can run any route on the tree. Keeps getting taller and stronger; two more years to go should make him even better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194602"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f20808cd891"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Camden Day is a starting two-way lineman for Northrop; strong guard who can create vertical push, flashes great first-step quickness and drives his feet on contact. Very physical, great finisher, high-effort player.  Good mover in space during the bag drills. To me, he is a better fit at defensive tackle at the next level; has the makings of a run plugger who can hold the point of attack. High academic prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2065568"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f20808cd8e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anthony Barnes is a tight end at the next level. Hooper turned TE.  Still a very raw prospect, but if he figures the game out and continues to develop, he has a chance to be a legitimate Division I prospect down the line. 6-foot-6, 200-pound basketball player with excellent arm length and a wide catch radius. Displays good hands over the MOF and has improved as a route runner since last season. Not much juice or speed, could definitely add some bulk, but size and arm length and wide catch radius make him a legitimate prospect to watch at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
