PRZ Next Texas Camp: 11 Class of 2028 Prospects That Impressed

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first installment of the Prep Redzone Next Camp Series kicked off with a stop in the talent rich state of Texas. The camp, which was a complete sellout, featured athletes in the classes of 2027-2029. It provided an opportunity to experience the evaluation process featuring combine testing, as well as position-specific drills and concluded with an ultra-competitive one on one competition at each position. Camp attendees were made up of some the top talent from Texas, but athletes from Arizona, Florida, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas and more who made the trip to Fort Worth to show off their skills. Camps are often dominated by the eighth-graders, but here are some sixth-and-seventh-graders that had notable performances.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":589495,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tierney Shaw","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One of three Shaw brothers to participate in the camp, Tierney and his brothers are the son's of former NFL 2nd round pick, Terrance Shaw.

The 5-foot-8, 115-pounder showed up several inches taller than anticipated and looked the part from a passing standpoint. A live arm and an active, yet under control lower body, helped him deliver accurate pass after accurate pass all camp long.

The Waller Middle School seventh-grader is a big, wide body at 6-foot and 258 pounds who did well during one-on-one's despite being one of just a few non-eighth-graders at the position.

Measured very well at a verified 5-foot-10 and 158-pounds, making him a very large seventh-grade skill player. Came to camp as a Running Back but I'm not sure that's where he plays long term. He has a tremendous frame to build upon and was clocked at a 5.03 in the forty and an 8.04 in the L-drill, showing off quickness and body control.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["474035"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"As noted in the u003ca href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/2023/01/prz-next-texas-camp-honorable-mention-all-camp-team/u0022u003eHonorable Mention All-Camp Teamu003c/au003e article, Dickerson has the makings of a future super star in this 2028 class. The numbers speak for themselves with a 4.66 in the forty, a 4.71 in the shuttle and a 7.81 in the L-Drill. The Oklahoma native spends obvious time training on-and-off the field and it's paying off.

One of the bigger and taller class of 2028 prospects in the country right now, he also tested well with a 4.9 in the forty and an impressive 4.81 in the shuttle. Looking at the numbers, I really liked the shuttle run time showing off his change of direction quickness.

A playmaker at the position, Hendricks was consistent throughout the session and threw well both in the pocket and on the move. Looking at his combine numbers, nothing really u0022wowsu0022 until you see his L-Drill, which was hand-timed at a 7.72. It's that sudden burst and ability to change direction quickly that allows for him to do some special things as a signal caller.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["459140"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Phillips proved once again, that he's a 2028 Quarterback to really take a good look at. Coming off middle school season where he played up against 2027 prospects and registered 1,989 and 27 touchdowns in just eight games for Life Oak Cliff Middle School, he carried that momentum to camp. I can't say enough positive things about his throwing motion and how quickly he gets the ball out. Showed almost zero wasted movement and was as accurate as could be. He was really impressive.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63bd87a71366c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":589589,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Chip Purtell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Purtell was a prospect I took note of when reviewing the final camp roster ahead of the camp. I was interested in hearing/seeing how the Curtis Middle School prospect would perform and he performed favorably. He camped as a Linebacker and measured in at 6-foot and 162-pounds. However, by the time he gets to Allen High School in the fall of 2028, I wouldn't be surprised to see him with his hand in the dirt as a Defensive End or Tight End, given his length and build. Needs to improve overall agility and quickness if he aims to stay at Linebacker, but there are certainly some pieces to work with here.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["228925"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"I really, really like a lot of the game of Owens Jr. brings to the table. At 5-foot-8 and 160-pounds he looks the part of a future big time prospect down in the u0022Da Bootu0022 of  Louisiana. Came to camp as a Linebacker but is probably even better as a Running Back. He has crazy strength and he displayed it with a 7'10u0022 in the broad jump, which was second to only [player_tooltip player_id='474035' first='Josiah' last='Dickerson'] for 2028 kids. The Webster Junior High student is going to be a prospect that should garner a lot of attention if he continues on this trajectory.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63bd87a713778"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["589663"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another Oklahoma kid that opened eye was Running Back [player_tooltip player_id='589663' first='Brian' last='Jones']. Jones is part of the special Bixby pipeline that saw seventh-grade, eighth-grade and high school varsity teams reach championship games this past season. Jones is a dynamic playmaker that played a bit of everywhere during the regular season but looked like a seasoned ball carrier at camp. Physically, he has all the tools and potential to be a special one going forward. At 5-foot-6 and 150-pounds, he was clocked at a 4.69 in the forty and a powerful 8'4u0022 in the broad jump.
