The 10U division at DR7 Tampa featured some of the youngest talent in the tournament, but the level of play proved that the future of the game is in good hands. From impressive quarterback play to dynamic athletes making plays all over the field, several young prospects stepped up and delivered standout performances during Day 1 of pool play.
2033 QB Wyatt Buethe – Team Elite
QB Wyatt Buethe turned heads at DR7 Tampa with several impressive throws. He looked like one of the top QBs in the 10U division, showing a strong arm and the ability to consistently push the ball downfield. His arm strength allows him to excel on deep shots and stretch defenses vertically.
24K Black 10U
24K Black looked like one of the top 10U teams in the country on Day 1 of DR7 Tampa.
It all starts with QB Beau Richardson, who showed great poise and impressive touch on his throws throughout the day. 24K also has a deep and talented receiving corps. Amari Johnson, Jace Vallot, and Eli Derilus headline the group, each bringing a different dynamic that makes this offense dangerous.
Defensively, Elijah “Tarzan” Anderson stands out. He plays with relentless energy, showing the ability to undercut routes and cover in space. At corner, Mike Fleurant II brings good size for the 10U level and plays the position with a physical edge.
