<p>We had a huge number of receivers at last weekend's Stock Up Showcase! A few really stood out in terms of testing, and a couple stood out during my very brief observations. Below are all testing results, plus five quick impressions! </p>

<p>I'm decently confident that Mitey will be a Division 2 prospect this Spring. The athleticism? He's got it. The tape? He's got it. Route running? He's got it. As a bonus, Ahamn attends a pretty well-known school in the heart of GLIAC country. He's a slot receiver through and through. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The one and only thing that would get in the way of his recruitment is his drops. Ahman will continue to consistently get open because of his superior route running. He's just got to catch everything thrown his way. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ahman won WR MVP because of everything I listed above. Great all-around skillset, solid testing numbers, GLIAC prospect. </p>

<p>The numbers don't lie- his tape doesn't either. I'm happy to say that, in person, Jacob looks precisely as he does on tape. Very good release, explosive, and a solid route runner. He's someone who could very well be a high-tier GLIAC prospect, especially after his great 2024 season. <br>I really, really with I got to watch Jacob more than I did. There were so many prospects, and the 1v1 time was honestly way too short for my liking. I will 2000% be watching Jacob closer at the next camp we're both at. </p>

<p>I'm very happy that the tape matches the testing numbers! <br>Like Jacob, I didn't watch Carter quite as much as I wanted to. But- I did note one impressive release, followed by a great deep route & catch (exactly what he's shown several times on tape). His straight-line speed is nearly unmatched, making him an ideal deep threat. Very intriguing prospect who should earn offers this Spring. D3 or D2? I'm not quite sure yet. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1185143' first='Mason' last='Hitchcock'] | Bloomfield Hills</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I watched Mason more than anyone on this list. To start, his testing numbers are solid! Just above average in 40, shuttle, and 3-cone, alongside a good broad jump. <br>The routes I watched of Mason's were good. I could tell that he's practiced in various routes (slant, post, out) but isn't currently polished. For instance, he had solid footwork on his slant, but had a false step, slowing him down as he tired getting out of his break. Another quick thing to mention is Mason's catch radius. I didn't love his overall hands / contested catch ability, but I REALLY like his length. Mason has long limbs and could easily get his hands on balls that the opposing DB has zero chance at. With a QB with good placement, Mason could be a super valuable weapon.</p>

<p>It's hard to tell what Mason's eventual college value will be. I think that if Mason works extremely hard on improving his athleticism (and testing numbers), he'll easily be a GLIAC prospect. Even without elite in-season production or super polished routes, his size and athleticism may be enough for GLIAC schools to come calling. It's far from a guarantee, but I've seen other high-upside but raw talents like Mason earn scholarships plenty of times.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Braydin's testing numbers are an anomaly- and I mean that in a good way. Aside from his broad jump, he tested amazingly. I mean, come on, 4.4 40 and a 4.53 shuttle? <br>Those numbers are dang good, and I honestly don't think that athleticism shows up on tape. He goes to a lesser-known school, and again, I honestly think he performs so much better at camps than on tape. So, it's important that Braydin gets to other camps to further showcase his skillset. </p>
