AVC Football Camp: Quarterbacks, Volume IV

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For the third year running, I was invited back by Fairleigh Dickinson University&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/CoachAVC_FDU">Head Coach Anthony Van Curen</a>, as he - yet again - pulled off our region's largest one-day football camp. This year's rendition welcomed just over 450 participants who all eyed up the opportunity to get eyeballed in front of current college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I could not determine which was deeper: the roster was loaded with talent or the roster of coaches in attendance. In my three years covering this event, this is perhaps the widest range of U.S. states represented, including: Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Georgia, Florida, Delaware, and Connecticut. However, more than I can recall in the last, an International crop of talent was extremely well represented, with prospects hailing from Austria, Bavaria, Danmark, Baden-Wurttemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Catalunya, Kenya, Podlaskie, Rhineland-Palatinate, Steiermark, Thuringia, Uppland, and Vienna. As far as coaches, there were more than I could count.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below you will find my evaluation notes for the position group mentioned in the title of this article.

Napolitano had very good timing with randomly-paired targets, specifically on wheel routes. He should, however, work to place the ball a bit closer to the boundary, further away from the middle of the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["909997"],"_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-6a3bfd69114da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">For the second time in as many events I got a real good look at East Orange's [player_tooltip player_id='909997' first='Zachary' last='Concepcion']. Concepcion throws absolute bombs. When going vertically, Concepcion has a way of getting the ball to arch high and, as it descends, the ball's point lands like a perfect tear drop into his target's hand.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["934015"],"_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-6a3bfd6911539"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aside from being the most physically imposing quarterback at this event, [player_tooltip player_id='934015' first='Arique' last='Fleming'] might have been the most skilled. Fleming had outstanding ball placement on throws both upfield and across the middle. On a fade ball his receivers did not have to slow down, as they were able to catch the ball in stride; whereas over the middle Fleming led the receiver toward where he <em>should have </em>been, but his intended target ran a poor route - which was identified by both Fleming and the coaches on-site.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["344519"],"_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-6a3bfd6911590"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another prospect apt at pushing the ball upfield was Anthony Caratelli. Caratelli launched an absolute beauty of a ball that landed in his target's bread basket in route to a scoring strike.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Anthony Van Curen Football Camp Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-combine-results">Defensive + Specialist Combine Scores</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-offensive-combine-results">Offensive Combine Scores</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-the-eye-test-offense">The Eye Test, Offense</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-the-eye-test-defense-specialists">The Eye Test, Defense + Specialists</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-back-notebook-volume-i">Defensive Backs, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-back-notebook-volume-ii">Defensive Backs, Volume 2</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-back-notebook-volume-iii">Defensive Backs, Volume 3</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-back-notebook-volume-iv">Defensive Backs, Volume 4</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-backs-volume-v">Defensive Backs, Volume 5</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-line-notebook-volume-i">Defensive Line, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-line-notebook-volume-ii">Defensive Line, Volume 2</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-line-notebook-volume-iii">Defensive Line, Volume 3</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-line-notebook-volume-iv">Defensive Line, Volume 4</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-defensive-line-volume-v">Defensive Line, Volume 5</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-linebacker-notebook-volume-i">Linebackers, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-linebacker-notebook-volume-ii">Linebackers, Volume 2</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-linebacker-notebook-volume-iii">Linebackers, Volume 3</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-linebacker-notebook-volume-iv">Linebackers, Volume 4</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-linebackers-volume-v">Linebackers, Volume 5</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-offensive-line-notebook-volume-i">Offensive Linemen, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-offensive-line-notebook-volume-ii">Offensive Linemen, Volume 2</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-offensive-line-notebook-volume-iii">Offensive Linemen, Volume 3</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-offensive-line-volume-iv">Offensive Linemen, Volume 4</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-receiver-notebook-volume-i">Receivers, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-receivers-notebook-volume-ii">Receivers, Volume 2</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-running-back-notebook-volume-i">Running Backs, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-quarterback-notebook-volume-i">Quarterbacks, Volume 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-quarterback-notebook-volume-ii">Quarterbacks, Volume 2</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-quarterback-notebook-volume-iii">Quarterbacks, Volume 3</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/06/avc-football-camp-quarterbacks-volume-iv">Quarterbacks, Volume 4</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
