Endzone Defensive Stars & Rising Prospects

The Endzone 7-on-7 tournament in the Woodlands brought out talent by the busloads. If you are a high school football fan, a coach or an athlete. You are about to uncover some really special talent. Some guys that are lockdown and absolute beast out there on the defensive side of the ball. Here they are, some stars and rising prospects. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="60510" first="Djuan" last="Grant"] (21) | 5-11 DB | New Caney  | Texas Fury Djuan, I cannot say enough good things about this athlete. First, he’s a big-time hitter, if you watch his tape you’ll find a Defensive back that can not only cover the passing game extremely well but also absolutely flatten defenders with his big-time hitting ability. I like him a lot and he should prove to be a special player in college. https://twitter.com/LoboRecruits/status/1371259597768552448?s=20 &nbsp; &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="60822" first="Alan" last="Caracheo"] (22) |   DB | Cornerstone Christian | Elite House Alan was showing out all tournament long. Really making plays all over the field. Frankly, he is a beast out there on the defensive side of the ball. I like his ability to read plays well and his field awareness. A big-time playmaker that can break up a lot of passes. In talking with Alan we talked about how is recruitment is starting to heat up and how colleges are really seeking interest in him. Great player, should be special for Cornerstone next season. &nbsp; https://twitter.com/alancaracheo4/status/1371302022587297792 &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Aiden Inesta - Rodriquez</strong> (22) | 5-7 DB | Brandeis | FVII Front Seven Sports Undersized DB but a big heart. The guy can absolutely ball at the cornerback position. He can hang with the best and cover the entire field. I like his intensity and passion he brought to the field. He was flying making plays all tournament long. On both sides of the ball. Making his presence known. Aiden put some impressive numbers last year on the defensive side of the ball and should prove to be a high-producing player for the Broncos next season as well. https://twitter.com/Aiden23IR/status/1371261916493062147 &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Tevon Cortez</strong> (22) | 6-0 DB | Steele | FVII Front Seven Sports Tevon comes from the battle-tested division that Steele plays in and receives some of the best coaching. He’s also a track star ad runs a 4.45 40-yard dash time.  I really liked his technique out there covering receivers. He can trail the fastest of receivers and in watching his film he can also make open-field tackles routinely. He’s got great awareness out there on the field and can jump in front of passes to make a play on the ball. &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Cornell George</strong> (22) | 6-3  LB | East Central | FVII Front Seven Sports Big-time sleeper. I love this guy coming off the edge. He can get after the quarterback or stop the running plays in the backfield. I love his burst off the ball. He can also drop back and cover passes. His presence is definitely felt on the field with his purist, speed, and agility. I really like this linebacker. Coaches don’t be the last ones to the party. &nbsp; <strong>Esteban Guillory</strong> (22) | 6-1 DB | Cornerstone Christian | Defcon Cornerstone’s defense will be loaded next season and Esteban is one big reason why. A playmaker that is lockdown and a big-time hitter. I loved watching his tape, it’s always a real joy to watch. The height above says 6-1, but the guy looks like a 6-3 LB that is athletic enough to play DB. Absolute beast, you can bring down and put in the back to rush the passer or get after the ball carrier. &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Qyion Williams</strong> (24) | 5-10 ATH | Yoakum | Defcon An athlete that can play both sides off the ball really well at the wide receiver position or at DB. He’s a tough, physical defender and I really like his ability to defend the pass and run very well. He can make tackles for loss or jam defenders at the line. He’s a very versatile defender, I like him a lot. He gets my stamp of approval and I think he’s going to be a special player in his class. Probably more so on the defensive side of the ball. &nbsp; <strong>Jaylen Menny</strong> (23) | 6-2 DB | Texas Fury No-fly zone. Just like it says down there. Jalen was shut down and rarely did the person he was covering ever touch the ball. His wingspan is something truly special. He’s got long arms and is able to break up passes easily. At 6-2, the skills this guy has make him very special. https://twitter.com/_ja2en_/status/1371226701565464580 &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Nahamani Harris "Mani"</strong> (21) | 6-2 DB | Cornerstone Christian | Texas Fury The fact that this guy isn’t going to any big-time division I college is a little bit hard for me to digest or understand. I mean I miss be missing something here because the guy is 6-2 playing DB, he looks big enough to play linebacker but he’s athletic enough he could cover anyone’s best receiver. He has long massive arms, he’s got speed and he has big-time playmaking ability. He can trail the best of receivers and make all of the plays knocking down passes or better yet jumping in front of them to pick them off. Special player and I know he will play at the Division I level one or at least he should. Given the huge amount of talent that this young man has, it’s truly amazing. I’ll let the film speak for its self. &nbsp; <a href="http://iframe%20src=’//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/10240425/5fa22f9719b03803d0bd6c29’%20width=’640’%20height=’360’%20frameborder=’0’%20allowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/10240425/5fa22f9719b03803d0bd6c29" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a> &nbsp; &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="60891" first="Jacoby" last="Davis"] (23) | 5-11 DB | North Shore Senior | ALL- EN Jacoby is always lockdown. He’s an extremely physical corner and can jam receivers at the line of scrimmage and be completely lockdown at the cornerback position. That is why he is a big-time recruit getting big-time offers. &nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="121984" first="Kedrick" last="Reescano"]</strong> (23) | 6-0 RB / LB | New Caney | ALL-EN Kedrick has made his name known this 7-on-7 season. He’s played really special. More I particularly on the defensive side of the ball. He’s a tremendous competitor. He loves the game. Works really hard on and off the field. He has been able to pick a couple of division I offers from Oklahoma State and Houston. Many more are interested in Kedrick and his ability on both sides of the ball. He brings a lot to the table. &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="60855" first="Bruce" last="Mitchell"] (23) | 6-1 ATH | Parish Episcopal  | True Buzz Absolute playmaker out there in the field. He can fly to the ball and make an interception look easy. I love his awareness of the field. On tape, he isn’t afraid to bring the lumber either. He can play press cover or zone extremely well. I love this guy’s ability and he should prove to be a special player in college. Regardless if he plays offense or defense. I like him most at defense just because he shines brightest there. https://twitter.com/TouchdownBatman/status/1371431526416707584 &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Kam Robinson</strong> (24) | 6-1 DB | DeSoto | True Buzz At 6-1, his size and speed paired together are very impressive. Being from a very good football team in DeSoto. Who sends players to the top colleges in the nation and has plenty in the NFL. Kam can play and is used a lot on special teams to run punts back into the end zone. Still pretty young. I like to see how special this guy is going to turn out when he gets more film next season. &nbsp; <strong>Cameren Jenkins</strong> (23) | 6-2 DB |Lewisville |  True Buzz Cameren shined bright at the tournament. Watching his tape, you will be impressed to find a very versatile player who can do it all. He is big and athletic enough to play strong safety or the cornerback position. Either one he is terrific at. I like his ability to make some plays on passes because of his terrific awareness. Those are something you really can’t teach, it’s usually kind of like you have it or you don’t and Cameren, defiantly does. He should prove to be a highly rated prospect in his class and plays for an FBS/FCS level school. He’s got the talent. Enjoyed seeing him out there on the field. &nbsp; <strong>Caden Jenkins</strong> (23) |  WR/DB | Lewisville | True Buzz Caden doesn’t have much film yet. But, I like his size and ability out there on the field. He should prove to be a special player next year. He can obviously cover and make some big plays as shown below. &nbsp; https://twitter.com/MrJDavis96/status/1371103194466676737 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Lavon Williams</strong> (22) | 6-0 DB | Roosevelt | Elite House Last but certainly not least we have a battled-tested corner that plays in a pretty tough division and he holds his own against tough competition week in and week out. You can line him up on the best receiver and he can definitely hang. I like his wingspan, his size, and his ability to break on the ball. He covers the field well and is able to trail receivers and get his head around to make a play on the ball. He’s proved to special at these tournaments. He should be a joy to watch this coming up season. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
