Recruiting Trends Post-College Camps, Post June 1st/2nd, Pt.3

<p>Back with more commitment news, recruiting updates, and highlights of the stellar performers from ongoing prospect camps. In this next batch of recruits, we'll be featuring [player_tooltip player_id='386110' first='Michael' last='Albert'], who just committed to an Ivy League program, and [player_tooltip player_id='671930' first='Javien' last='Robinson'], who recently received his first offer. Lastly, I'll be spotlighting the recruits currently in high demand: [player_tooltip player_id='952746' first='Kemon' last='Spell'], Chrys Black, [player_tooltip player_id='646690' first='Kyshawn' last='Robinson'], [player_tooltip player_id='827011' first='Jimmy' last='Kalis'], and [player_tooltip player_id='598631' first='Christopher' last='Climes']. If you're as ready as I am, let's get into the news. </p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MichaelAlbert__/status/1798729856211153198 </div></figure>   <p>Albert made his decision known today by announcing his commitment to Princeton. The 6'3, 245-pound TE/H-back chose the Tigers over offers from UPenn, Dartmouth, Brown, Richmond, Maine, Cornell, New Hampshire, Furman, Columbia, and Lehigh. Michael is a relentless blocker and a violent linebacker who excels at engaging and disengaging. I believe he will fight to contribute right away at the FCS level.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JavienRobinson1/status/1798431352347303943 </div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Javien is another young talent from McKeesport who has been making noise. He had a strong performance at Duquesne's prospect camp, which led to his first offer from the Dukes. Robinson has excellent body control when getting in and out of his breaks, and his ball skills make him a top-notch 50/50 catch guy on deep balls. I'm particularly excited to watch him and [player_tooltip player_id='952746' first='Kemon' last='Spell'], both underclassmen with D1 opportunities. Javien is on the radar of numerous programs but so far only has the offer from Duquesne.</figcaption></figure>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KemonJones9/status/1797659077763608883 </div></figure>   <p>Spell is one of the most sought-after underclassmen in the state. The class of 2027 athlete has above-average speed and body control on the field. He's a big-league playmaker who can take the ball in for a score from anywhere on the field. Over the last month, Kemon has been offered by Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Syracuse, Florida State, and Maryland. His range and ball skills in the secondary, combined with his consistency in tackling in space, set him apart. He's one of several Power Five prospects playing defensive back in Western Pennsylvania in the 2027 recruiting class. Spell also holds scholarship offers from Pitt, Marshall, Wisconsin, and Toledo.</p>    <p>Black is by far the youngest recruit I've reported on. The class of 2028 athlete is entering high school football with a lot of tangible potential on and off the field. His body control, size, speed, and playmaking ability are unmatched in his class. So much so that FBS programs have already started offering him. He's explosive, and his short-area quickness combined with his breakaway speed are impressive. Besides his vision and playmaking ability with the ball in hand, he's versatile. Chrys looks like a junior executing press man or bumping in cloud coverage. His ball skills are next level, and he has unlimited potential on special teams. In the last week, the underclassman recruit has earned scholarships from Syracuse and Akron. His first offer was extended by UNLV back in January.</p>    <p>I watched Kyshawn in the City League Championship and discovered that his hype is 100% legitimate. The 2026 all-everything defensive back is a ballhawk at safety who tackles with bad intentions. Beyond his FBS playmaking ability, he has next-level football intelligence to match. Since the beginning of May, he's been offered by TCU, Oklahoma, and today Clemson joined the party. Kyshawn's offer list to date consists of big-time programs such as Nebraska, UNLV, Pitt, Texas A&M, Toledo, Syracuse, Florida, Penn State, South Carolina, Colorado, USC, Purdue, Florida State, Maryland, UConn, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Kansas, NC State, Oregon, Indiana, Memphis, FAMU, Illinois, Boston College, Houston, Louisville, and Cincinnati. Whoever eventually lands Robinson will be getting a top-flight DB who will also contribute on special teams right away.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Jimmy_Kalis/status/1798805338709430730 </div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><br>The class of 2027 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='827011' first='Jimmy' last='Kalis'], standing at 6'6 and weighing 290 lbs, is certainly a big prospect. Pittsburgh Central Catholic is always loaded with D1 talent, and Kalis fits the mold perfectly. I first saw him last summer at a camp and thought he should've had offers already as an incoming freshman! In the last couple of weeks, Jimmy has performed like a top-notch FBS OL prospect at Pitt and Toledo. Over the last month, Jimmy has been offered by NC State, Pitt, Syracuse, Maryland, Central Michigan, and Miami (OH). Jimmy will be one of the best linemen Pennsylvania has to offer over the next three seasons.</figcaption></figure>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Cclimes66/status/1798848471799378148 </div></figure>   <p>Chris is another prospect who had a strong showing at WVU's prospect camp recently. Climes is a two-way nightmare at the high school level. Offensively, he plays with elite bend and pad level, enabling him to consistently get pancakes. Defensively, his violent hands and relentlessness in fighting through blockers make him a significant problem. His mobility and motor allow him to be versatile on both sides of the ball. A lot of D1 programs are starting to notice Climes' ability, as he received offers from East Carolina, Marshall, Kent State, Richmond, Holy Cross, and Lehigh in the last month. Christopher has also been offered by JMU, Toledo, Air Force, Miami (OH), Buffalo, ODU, Eastern Michigan, Bowling Green, Harvard, Youngstown State, Bucknell, Maine, Villanova, Yale, Monmouth, Dartmouth, Lafayette, Columbia, Bryant, Cornell, Lehigh, and Mercyhurst.</p>
