The tackling machine impressed enough to take home the award among a very talented group of linebackers from around the state and region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1188358' first='Marshaun' last='Ivy'] I LB I Cardinal Ritter I 2027 I<br>(6'3" 225) - Another big time linebacker and heavily recruited defender who attended was the multi-talented Ivy. Marshaun has great size, speed and quickness to cover the field sideline-to-sideline, rush the quarterback, and showed impressed pass coverage ability against tight ends and running backs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1325176' first='Evan' last='Via'] I DB I Ladue I 2027 I<br>(6'0" 185) - The speedy Via was among a great group of defensive backs and showed why he is among the top prospects in his class in the state of Missouri. He tests well, is explosive, has great burst, hands and ball skills. Good hips and just makes big plays</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1726900' first='Andrew' last='Oldham'] I DE I Marquette I 2027 I<br>(6'5" 250) - One of the top defensive lineman on the day. I was impressed with Oldham's added size being up to 250lbs now, and keeping his quickness and agility he showed in drills as well as in the one on ones. Had a good showing against a deep and talented group of top offensive linemen from the region. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='813880' first='Jameson' last='Honey'] I DE I Lindbergh I 2027 I<br>(6'3" 252) - One of the most athletic defensive lineman at the camp. Honey has a great motor and does everything at full speed. Looked great in drills and testing showcasing his athleticism. Went hard in every rep on the one on ones and had a very good showing making it among the final group at the end. Left with his shirt almost completely ripped off him for his effort </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
