Under Armor Dallas Notes and Thoughts- Offense
It was a great day at the UA Camp on Sunday in Dallas. I will have a bunch more interviews up this week. But first let's do some key notes from the day for the offense. The offensive line group was insanely talented so I will start there.-Reedy 2020 OL Nathan Anderson is a stud. I came away so impressed with him. I like his film and at the NLA event he was solid but not as good as he was at the camp. He played right tackle the majority of the time and went up against some of the best prospects and shut them down. He weighed in at 265 and was measured at 6'5. His quickness makes him special, great feet. He won big man MVP because of his dominant performance.https://twitter.com/GrayGrundhoefer/status/1099762941585485825-Baylor commit out of Carthage Ty'Kieast Crawford was at the camp as well. He played right tackle the whole time but it was not very pretty. I saw six reps and he five out of six but I did hear he ended up rebounding later on in the day. He looks like a guard to me based on his feet. But he has an awesome frame, long arms, and does not have much bad weight. He will be a four star at some point but I hope he camps at guard at the next one he goes to.https://twitter.com/GrayGrundhoefer/status/1099869236565020673-Connaly 2020 OL Trent Pullen had his best showing at a camp that I have been to. He looked great at guard and did a great job using his hands. I see the improvement and it is very impressive. I still need to see if his athleticism has improved some. He was the other Big Man MVP and it was well-deserved.-I am going to run through some of the other ones that stood out and there were quite a few. 2021 Savion Byrd out of Duncanville was the best offensive lineman there period. He was flat out dominant. Great feet, hand placement and technique is solid, plus he is strong. He is probably right around 6'6, 260 pounds. He has all good weight and a ton of room to grow into that frame. This guy just made the loaded 2021 OL class even better. All Saints 2021 Tommy Brockermeyer had another very good day. I saw him at NLA and he looked dominant then again today he looked good. Trinity Christian 2021 OL Elijah Bowser is a name to watch. At 6'5, 320 pounds he is already a load to deal with. He played tackle the whole day and might have some of the strongest hands I have seen this year. He went against Shemar Turner and hit him with his right hand in the shoulder and completely stunned Turner who completely stopped when he felt that hand. Bowser still has some work but my goodness is he strong. 2020 Cedar Hill OL and LSU commit Courtland Ford looked good. He played left tackle but I still think he needs to move to guard. His feet are just ok but once he gets his hands on you it is pretty much over. He went against a 5'9, 175-pound kid and got blown by on the first rep. Then on the second rep he pancaked him badly. 2021 Copperas Cove OL McKenzie Agnello had a solid day at guard and was able to win some battles against a very talented defensive Eline group.-Quarterback had a two guys that I really like. Longview 2020 QB Haynes King and Weatherford 2020 QB Ken Seals . King had some really good moments and has a really nice release. He was inaccurate at times in the one on one's but also threw some absolute dimes to receivers. He measure 6'2, 184 at the camp and ran in the 4.5s for his 40 time. It is very apparent that he is a top name to watch in the state for this class. He also got invited to the UA All American game. Seals throws such a good ball and dominates at camps. His inability to really move hurts him on the recruiting trail but he can do mostly everything else.-Other recruits that played well at QB: 2021 Liberty Christian Daniel Greek, 2021 Trinity Christian Shedeur Sanders , 2021 Eastland Behren Morton.-2020 West Mesquite RB Ty Jordan was electric. This guy is a flat out gamer and his film shows that but it is much more fun to see it in person. He is so fast and quick with his cuts which makes him a nightmare for linebackers at a camp like this. He is very short which is a concern for me but he is a flat out playmaker.https://twitter.com/GrayGrundhoefer/status/1099760361127981056-2020 RB Jaden Hullaby showed why Baylor loves him. The Bishop Dunne product looks so similar to John Lovett. I could see this guy making the move to defense at the college level too. He is fast, quick, and coordinated. I loved the way he caught the ball at the camp.-Some others that stood out: 2020 Lancaster Tre Bradford , 2020 Poteet Seth McGowan , 2020 Edison (OK) Sevion Morrison , and 2020 Jase McClellan , and 2020 Sachse Myles Nash .-No Demond Demas at this camp but still some very good ones. I am going to get the quick little slot receivers that were open all day long out of the way first. 2020 Cedar Hill Quin Bright , 2021 Denton Ryan Billy Bowman Jr , 2021 Aledo JoJo Earle , and 2021 Lancaster Majik Rector were hilarious a usual to watch. Open all day long and making DB's look silly for a lot of the afternoon.-2021 Allen WR's Blaine Green and Bryson Green were great today. They have been to Baylor a lot and really like the campus and coaches. These are two guys the staff would love to get. They had a very good day and I saw a great combination of size, strength, and route running with the two of them. Cool kids to talk to as well.-2020 Booker T. Washington WR Javian Hester was terrific today. He showed very good route running and a solid 6'3 frame. I loved the way he attacks the ball in the air and it is no wonder why he has so many offers. 2020 Colony WR Keith Miller showed better speed than I thought he would and he has a legit 6'4, 200+ frame. Another big receiver that showed some flashes was 2020 Marshall WR Savion Williams. He high pointed the ball well today and catches with his hands which is a plus. He did drop some passes but overall a good day. -2020 Frisco Lone Star WR Marvin Mims earned an invitation to the UA All American game and it is no surprise after how well he performed at camp. He is very strong and quick but he also has the ability to beat people deep down field. He caught the ball very well with his hands and looked to be turning into a solid route runner as well.https://twitter.com/SuperK_TFB/status/1100071496783986688I will post defense notes tomorrow.
