28′ ATH Aiden Loyden (@AidenLoyden) is a speedy athlete with great acceleration in the open field. He’s primarily a running back and I believe that’s where he’ll succeed the most. However, Loyden can also catch passes from the slot, screens out the backfield and return kicks. Loyden has good vision to find the gap & burst through to daylight. I watched the film and it was a pleasant surprise to see him play defense as well. Most kids only do that in 7v7, but that isn’t the case here. Aiden is a ball player. Stay tuned to see more from this 2028 standout.
28′ WR Tano Wooten (@TanoWooten) was one of the best players at DR7 – Houston, TX, this past weekend. He plays both sides equally well. Offensively, he’s an explosive wide receiver who isn’t afraid to go up and attack the ball. He has really strong hands and can make contested catches consistently. On the defensive side, he’s just a playmaker that’s always around the ball. His instinctive awareness created problems for opposing offenses. I believe this kid has what it takes to play at the next level and should have eyes on him soon.
29′ QB Kaleb Malone-Hayes (@KalbeHayes) displays really good footwork in the pocket and his throwing mechanics are more than solid. Malone-Hayes throws a nice-looking ball and scans the field really well for a young athlete. As a quarterback, having poise is a must and that’s something this kid has a lot of. This is a name to know for years to come in the Houston area.
25′ DB Kingston Cramer (@kingstoncramer4) is an outstanding cover corner with great length to be a really good player at the next level. Cramer possesses elite ball tracking skills when it’s in the air and will make a play anytime he’s near the action. This kid is disciplined and he trusts his technique. I’m not sure how recruiters let him slip away, but he definitely can be an asset to any program.
26′ WR Jarell Gary Jr. (@showtime_jarell) is a physical receiver who will punish defenders across from him. He’s built similar to Austin, TX native Jaden Greathouse. Gary Jr has the ability to stop on a dime and cut up field. He has enough speed to run by an entire secondary, but the most impressive thing about him is how he break tackles with ease in pads and gains yards after contact. Jarell currently holds offers from Tulsa, Texas Tech, UTSA, Florida Atlantic and North Texas. Expect that number to double in the near future.
28′ QB Joshua Wells (@JoshuaWellsQB1) had a great outing at DR7 – Houston, TX, helping his Charger Z Elite squad capture the 15U championship. This kid led several impressive drives that ended in touchdowns to put his team up. Wells has a nice arm and good accuracy for such a young quarterback. His skills will only mature as time progresses. Keep an eye out for this young standout out of LaPorte, TX.
26′ ATH Princeton Campbell (@Coverup5__) is a player you want to know from the Arlington, TX area. He has the skills to play on either side of the football at a high level. Campbell displays lateral quickness, closing speed and great hand-eye coordination. This kid is probably best suited to be a defensive back, but he’s electric as a pass catcher as well. I say just put him on the field and he’ll help out your football team.
27′ QB Max Terral (@max_terral) is a big, pro-style quarterback that can become a really good player over the next two years. I predict Max will have a breakout junior season. This kid has a cannon for an arm. He also places the ball where it is difficult for defenders to make a play on it. His mechanics are really good from the waist down and you can tell he’s been coached up pretty well. With more training and more camps to showcase his talent, the more you will begin to hear about this young star on the rise.
