2025 DL - Brandon Mills

Mills displayed quick hands from time to time & good get off when coming off the ball. Strong performance by Mills.


2026 DL - Cameron Gray

2026 DL - MaKennie Nichols

Nichols has a strong build, plays with power & likes to physically maul his way into a backfield. Nichols could take his game to the next level incorporating a few more moves but performed well on Saturday.

Cook very much held his own, that said the sophomore linemen was fairly dominant playing the tackle position. That said, he's expected to camp moving forward at guard which should gain some wanted attention.

Riggle has good size and plays with passion. He had good technique & strength, which really showed in the best on best segment. 


2026 OL - Khalil Sanogo

Sanogo was a highlight simply based on his size to start coming in around 6’4 1/2, 290. The rising senior already hold and offer from UNT with the chance for more down the road. 


2027 DL - Beau Georges 

Georges has good skills at the guard position and solid size at 6’3 280. He has a solid first step and decent strength. Could benefit from another off-season of training in the weight room.

WR



MVP - 2027 WR - Christopher Udom

Solid passer, sharp throws, good feet and a winner in the 7v7 portion. Sims also showed tremendous poise from start to finish. 


2027 QB - Amarian Moore

Moore has good eyes to find open spaces in the defense. He also, does a good job of setting up his offensive weapons to have success. Moore can continue to work on his footwork and filling out but he’s certainly off to a good start as a sophomore. 


2027 QB - Brice McCurdy

McCurdy has good size at 6’1 180 pounds paired with his unique athleticism. McCurdy can throw from multiple angles and plays with an obvious confidence. 


2027 QB - Noah Spinks

Spinks can make all the throws and he does so with touch, making it easy for his receivers to make plays. Spinks is a competitor with mobility and vision.


2026 QB - Jamion Richrardson

Richardson has solid upside at the position with his athleticism and ability to let the football fly out of his hands. 


2027 QB - Cash Koertner

Koertner has a rangy frame that could benefit from adding weight this offseason. That said, Koertner put up solid numbers as a sophomore & with his arm talent he could generate interest this summer & fall. 



LB



MVP - 2026 LB - Liam Mcmillan

Mcmillan is a tackle machine and it showed as he flew to the football. Mcmillan showed a tremendous motor and good vision attacking the ball. 


2025 LB - Adriano Mendoza

Mendoza is a physical and likes to get his hands on offensive players whenever given the opportunity. Mendoza is smart and flies sideline to sideline, which showed in the 7v7 portion. 


2028 LB - Rhyder Allison Butler

Butler is well together for his age, has good instincts and shows plenty of effort which is half the battle. Butler was solid in 1vs1 and held his own in 7v7. 


2026 LB - Cale McPeek

McPeek is a rangy defender, who has a nose for the ball. He played well in coverage & made several strong tackles in 1vs1 drills. 


2026 LB - Cameron Floyd

Floyd is an experienced defender who let that show over the weekend. The senior defender, was physical at the line of scrimmage and made several plays when going against the running back group. 


2027 LB - Kannon Floyd

Floyd, has solid size, uses his hands well and really shows his skills when he can attack a ball carrier. Want to see Floyd flash more in his coverage but he’s already shows good awareness. 



DB


MVP - 2027 DB Tyler Bush

Bush has good length & ball skills helping him attack the football when thrown his way. Bush is a competitor, who uses his speed & quickness to ride defenders helping him shut down his opposition. 


2027 DB - Isaiah Udom

A bit surprising that Udom didn’t take home the overall MVP honors from the weekend based on his play. But Udom is very talented and it shows. He has a knack for the ball, has good technique & was pretty lock down all day. A


2026 DB - Owen Whistler

Whistler is a guy that just finds himself around the football and a player that won’t give up on the play. What he lacks in athleticism he makes up for in his ability to read a receiver & play the ball. 


2028 DB - Desmond White

White is talented for a 2028 prospect. He uses his hands to play through the football, while showing good instincts that helped him make multiple plays. 


2026 DB - Oli Oladiran
