<p>Late last night, I braved the snow, cold, and questionable road conditions to check out <em>RecruitReady</em>, <em>Minnesota Grind</em>, and <em>MN Go Get It </em>in some 7on7 action in Woodbury. <em>RecruitReady</em>, based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, was on the way to Chicago for a regional 7v7 tournament and made the stop in the Twin Cities for extra work, so we have a bit of North America spice here and prospects from multiple countries highlighted. The Canadians brought the juice, as did the Minnesota-based <em>MN Grind</em> and MN <em>Go Get It,</em> and I left the Minnesota Health Fairview Sports Center with some new names, new evaluations that impressed, and a ton of classes represented in my Top Performers from the event. Let's check out the top Upperclassmen Standouts from last night below. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1210739' first='David' last='Amaliri']</strong> <em>(St. Thomas More</em>, CT) DB. 2025. 6'3, 200 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The first kid who caught my attention when I pulled up to the event. All of his 6'3, 200 lbs., and passed the eye test with flying colors. Ridiculous wingspan, was flexible, and was able to play press-man on the perimeter or man coverage from the slot, his sheer length intimidated and broke the attention of WRs trying to reel in catches, his hips looked pretty loose, and showed good footwork in coverage. Really well-built DB who spent last year at <em>Clearwater Academy International</em> in Florida, his first season playing football in the United States, which was against some great competition I must add. Tons of upside in his frame and game, and the size and athleticism combination shouted FCS/FBS-worthy without turning on any film. </p>

<p><strong>Brandon Kubay</strong> (<em>St. Thomas More,</em> CT) TE. 2025. 6'4, 225 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another eye-catcher, thanks in both to his impressive size as well as his bleach blond hair. <strong>Kubay </strong>was broad-shouldered, possesses a thick lower body, particularly in his thighs and hindquarter, and was a good route runner who could beat press and create separation at multiple points throughout a route. Tracks and plays the ball well in the air, can complete receptions through contact, and some good speed on him. Big body that can move, <strong>Kubay </strong>also spent last season at<em> Clearwater Academy International</em> in the Sunshine State and currently holds a couple of FCS offers. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='851416' first='Dillano' last='Glaud']</strong> (<em>St. Thomas More</em>, CT) SS/LB. 2025. 6'2, 215 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The most popular and college-ready prospect at last night's 7on7 event, <strong>Glaud</strong> holds 10+ FCS and FBS offer and his build speaks to that fact. Great size, big hindquarters, broad shoulders, thick upper and lower body. Looked good in a backpedal and when changing direction, fluid athlete, coordinated, and played safety at his intimidating size. Impressive in a camp setting, <strong>Glaud </strong>is even better when the pads come on. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='851410' first='Njita' last='Sinkala']</strong> (<em>Clearwater Academy International</em>, FL) CB. 2025. 5'11, 175 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rated as the #1 DB in all of Canada, <strong>Sinkala</strong> was lightning-quick and sticky in coverage. I wish I got to watch him a bit more, but <em>RecruitReady </em>was stacked with talent and there was a lot to take in. </p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><em>Minnesota Grind</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='743268' first='Jaydn' last='Harris']</strong> <em>(Cretin-Derham Hall</em>) 2025. LB. 5'11, 200 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Eye-catching upper body and comfortable in ass coverage, <em>CDH</em> junior <strong>Harris </strong>was an enforcer in the middle of his defense and shoed some loose hips as well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1241423' first='Connor' last='McPhee']</strong> <em>(Forest Lake</em>) DB. 2025. 5'8, 155 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Disruptive day for the junior defensive back from <em>Forest Lake</em>. Got out of his breaks quickly, recognized and triggered on the ball well, and broke up a few passes, including in the redzone, for clutch stops for his defense. Good showing in coverage from the <em>Rangers </em>junior. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='743266' first='Jajuan' last='Bobmanuel']</strong> (<em>St. Paul Johnson</em>) WR/DB. 2025. 6', 180 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Good day for the 651 product. <strong>Bobmanuel </strong>got open against 18U competition, made clutch plays for his offense, and caught two TDs last night for one of the better showings from any pass catcher in attendance. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} -->
<p class="has-large-font-size"><em>MN Go Get It </em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='362278' first='Gaven' last='Dean']</strong> (<em>Lakeville South</em>) 2025. QB. 5'11, 150 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The MN Go Get It offense got noticeably better when Dean stepped in at QB, and he's continued to impress me every time I see him in person, whether padded or unpadded. Big arm that throws a pretty ball that you can't help but notice even as a casual observer, could stretch the field, and was accurate to all three levels. The kid can sling it! </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='429419' first='Bo' last='Bokman']</strong> (<em>Lakeville South</em>) 2025. 5'8, 175 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Bokman</strong>, who had some fun and noteworthy junior tape after transferring to <em>Lakeville South </em>for 2023, has a yoked upper body and some noticeable muscle definition for his age. When he got the ball his burst and top-end speed made him nearly untouchable on the turf. Some real pace in his game and he knew hoe to use it, scoring a couple of TDs last night against 18U competition. </p>
