RIVALS . CAMP: Info for the 2022 series

*****

Justice Haynes and Richard Young didn’t hold onto the top two spots in the running back, but they seem to have separated themselves at this point. While, Kaleb Jacksonfrom Baton Rouge (La.) Liberty Magnet, had an impressive performance at Rivals Camp in New Orleans last weekend, but there will be others pushing him for that number 3 spot. Texas A&M showed Jackson the most attention, while LSU was indifferent to him with the new staff taking over. Orlando (Fla.) Edgewater’s Cedric Baxter be an attractive prospect and the state of Michigan do Kedrick Reescano There are excellent films, while others may emerge as the rankings are in reverse in the next few months.

Wilkin Formby is a large scale attack, listed at 6 foot-8 and 300 pounds, very small weight, strong and sturdy. What’s most impressive is that at that size, Northridge stands out from Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Good footwork and can handle speed to the edge. Four stars attended Rivals events last summer, but he’s a year older, a year stronger and plays with more confidence than ever. Formby has been truly successful and – currently ranked 33rd nationally – it is almost impossible to believe that there are 32 better offensive tackles in his class.

This past Saturday’s Texas Exposure Camp was a solid opportunity for the 2023-2025 prospects in the Houston area to shine in the recruiting media presence as well as compete with some of the best. best in the region.

Houston Stratford 2023 tight end Hawkins Polley walked away with the title of camp MVP on a day when he was unbeatable in the first half, whether he was lining up against full-backs or defensive backs. The Baylor commit’s running skills make him a capable runner, but it’s his strong arms that can make him special at the next level.

Clear Falls 4-star floor mats 2023 Corey Kelly will be a versatile weapon of the next level with the ability to leap people and move through space. Shadow Creek four stars 2024 safe Maurice Williams Jr. demonstrated his skill in covering the corner man in the camp as his stock continued to rise. Humble Atascocita 2024 teammates Braylon Conley (end of defense) and Zion Brown (midfielder) are other highlights from the camp. Both are very solid so far this season.

All of these leads – if they continue to impress for the rest of the season – could see their rankings rise in the next update.

So far, there haven’t been many major camps as far north as Baltimore, but this past weekend a group of high-profile talent prospects gathered in windy conditions to show off the hard work they’ve put in out this season. Defensive midfielders on hand are particularly interesting to watch. It’s a group that has potential customers in 2023 like Rivals250 members Desmond Umeozulu and James Heard with four stars Mason Robinson, Sydir Mitchell, David Ojiegbe and Dylan Gooden. Most of them have played for promotion, but it’s been a long season and there will be several other opportunities for all of these players to impress. The two defensive ends of 2023 that could see their shares rise if they continue to play as they did on Sunday are Da’Shawn Womack and Anthony Little. They have pretty similar physical and stylistic traits on the defensive end, but Little is a bit rougher when it comes to his technique. Womack seems to have the technical skill, size, strength, and agility to make it difficult for any attacking player.

Also on the defensive line, 2024 Rivals250 ends the defense Ernest Willor and three stars high Dominic Nichols shows a lot of promise. The level of skill and talent is evident on the film when viewed live. In the younger grades, players like Ari Watforda 2025 outlook, and James Carringtona potential 2026 client, continuing to build on their already impressive offseason performances.

The offensive team isn’t as deep as the defense, but there are a few big names and a few others that could see their ranks rise. Miami do Antonio Tripp and Penn State do Anthony Donkoh group leader. Both are currently rated as three-star prospects and each of them has solid performances. We will be closely monitoring each of them over the next few months. Three high stars in the 2024 ranking, Fletcher Westphal also had a very good performance in 1-on-1 matches, but the offensive lineman who stole the show is a 2024 lead Tosin Babalade. Potential customer DeMatha of Hyattsville (Md.) examines all the boxes from a physical perspective and shows the agility, power, and sense of time to produce outstanding performance in 1-on-1 time. He won an MVP award, and rightfully so.

Rivals250 customer support Tony Rojas suggests he could be an exceptional prospect. At 210th overall, Rojas has the form and range to become a major asset as a passing defender. He’s about 6-foot-3, and has great length in his arms, helping him knock out a few passes and save at least once on Sunday. Rojas is quite skinny but he has enough capacity to add the necessary mass for the college game.

In 2024, the promising Rivals250 Aaron Chiles (No. 55), Kristopher Jones (No. 109), and Jaylen Harvey (Number 122) dominated in 1-on-1 matches. Each of them had multiple passes and they did a great job of running back on the deep tracks. Harvey is transitioning to full-back from a defensive position, so playing in space is something he’s just getting used to, but it looks like he’s come in very well. Chiles and Jones are both full-backs, but they can cover the passes. Each of them used their superior speed and long arms to lock down the runners behind them.
