Dallas Next Level Athlete Camp
Grayson will have more as I had to leave early due to my son's third birthday party at 4pm, but this was a well run event and essentially the kick off of the camp season in Dallas.I missed the Houston event Saturday in Barbers Hill to attend Nick Nichols memorial service, so I'm sure everyone understands.These are always fun because you see the rest of the crews that cover recruiting for other schools. Jeremy Clark came over to say hello. Gabe Brooks and I discussed about 20 different Baylor offers. Saw EJ and Roach. Talked with CoachO, Verone McKinley, and more.A few people asked if Rhule was going to the Jets and I said the Jets had hired someone else after Rhule turned them down. Kids were excited to play for a coach being pursued by the NFL and you'll hear some of that in the Plae Wyatt interview.The event started at 2pm and that was the beginning of stretching so the action began around 2:30.I watched the WR, QB, DL, OL, and RB groups and here are my observations:QB: There were 3-5 DI kids in the 25 there. Ken Seals looks the part, talks the part, but something seems off in that he looks to be looking for attention when he does drills. Maybe he's bored, but he's talented, but you want to see a kid just perform. Braylon Braxton has a live arm and could be one to watch for 2021. Cedar Hill 2021 QB Kaidon Salter has a really live arm. I mean, damn. Not that big, but he could throw. Behren Morton of Eastland has some hype and he has the size and arm to be dangerous in 2021. Deuce Hogan won the MVP and had an Iowa hat on, but I didn't see him being great while I watched and that likely changed or I missed it.RB: I came to the event to watch Will Nixon and he didn't disappoint. Jordan Taylor no showed, so I missed him, but expect to see him soon at Under Armour or Nike.WR: FW Southwest C'ing Blanton is pretty legit. He might be a better safety, but he's got something on film and in person. He'll be camping to get a Baylor offer this summer.OL: This group looked like a big bag of nothing outside of Nathan Anderson. Baylor is talking to the big kid and his feet are good/great and he's big framed, but has room to grow. His shoulders are rolled, but that can change with some weightroom work. He's pretty well built for an OL in definition, so adding weight isn't going to be hard. Overall, there were some big cancellations due to the weather like Garrett Hayes and Jordan Taylor we really wanted to see. Next up, 2/17 Under Armour in Houston where Grayson and I likely share a hotel and make fun of his classmate for getting dunked on again.

Prime 21 Camp Thoughts
Amy, Damon, and I went to the Prime 21 Camp at Trinity Christian on Saturday from 7:45 to 1pm. The event ended at 5pm, but we all have lives and spending 10 hours in Cedar Hill wasn't on our agendas, as life calls. I've left a spot for Amy and Damon to add their thoughts as well.Brian's Thoughts:Grant Gunnell was the MVP and the time I saw him in warmups he looked better than before. Grant Tisdale has a solid arm, but I commented to Amy that Chris Herron looked better at the Baylor camp and was offered there. Would have been nice for Herron to have been invited.Michael Johnson, Jr. was impressive looking but erratic in throws.Jase McClellan and Qualan Jones are twins, but Jones is bigger at this stage and a year older. Jones feet were impressive and he went second in every drill behind McClellan. The only thing to say negative about Jones is where he plays in HS. If he were at CH, Desoto, etc... he'd have 30 offers. He ran 4.4 at the TCU camp per the TCU guys, but hasn't been offered yet. If he runs that on 7/22 I think the staffs' heads will explode in offering him. McClellan is a stud as well and he's still got 3 years of HS.Tyrion Davis of Southern Lab in Baton Rouge is big and special. He's committed to LSU and just watching him go through drills he looked NFL ready.Jonathan McGill is underrated at corner, but he's a little small, but had a good dayChase Lane committed to A&M didn't do anything for me.Myles Nash measured in at 5-5 153, he's quick, but that size needs to improve fastZach Nwachukwu just doesn't seem to have the top end speed at CB needed at an elite event like this. This could change, but right now the reality.Daxton Hill, brother of the starting RB at OSU is legit. He won DB MVPUCLA commit Kameron Brown looked small and slower than I remembered. Still solid receiver.Isaiah Spiller looked good, he's likely headed to A&M, like his dad. Nice guy that I met.Drew Sanders played TE and showed plus athleticism. I will be interested to see him at Colleyville Heritage over the next 3 years. He's a specimen as well. Bright future.Genson Hooper-Price has all the tools, but he didn't wear gloves early to keep them clean and got a case of dropsies. That got in his head and he had a hard time early in the sessions regaining his confidence. I take him and use his 6-5 202 frame that will be 230-250 in a year of lifting. Reminded me of Tommy Bush at the same stage, just larger. Quiet, reserved, and respectful kids with great possibilities ahead of them.Jordan Whittington looks great, but I don't see explosion. He's a LB to me playing WR.Trejan Bridges and Dylan Wright of Ennis got there late and both had great things to say about BU. Grant said he was told if he ran a 4.5 at camp they'd offer. He's trying to make it Saturday to do that. The issue is he has a game in GASO with Bridges. If the schedule permits they said they'd try to be there.Damon saw WR MVP Dylan Jantz of Gunter. He's not the tallest and white and has no offers because of it, but nobody got close to him. Call him Wes Welker, Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman, etc.. but he's coming to Baylor to camp and I hope he blows up, gets an offer, and accepts.Theo Wease is good/great, but his showboating and showing up opponents if he wins a rep and stares at QBs if they don't throw a good ball grow tiresome. Arjei Henderson looked good/great as well. Litchfield Ajavon looked 30 and played like it. He was a man from the S position. Marquez Beason is quick and legitTitus Swen is a smaller version of Qualon Jones and not quite as fast. Still good.Plae Wyatt measured 5-10.5 185 and broke up several passes as a safety. Donovan Ollie has good size, but he's stiff in his breaks. That can be fixed. Seemed a big overwhelmed like Genson at times.Jalen Curry is a stud. Just all you can say about him. "Jalen Pitre is like my brother. He tells me how much he likes it. How it is. How the staff is. My dad loves Baylor."Steven Parker from SOC is committed to Tech and a big LB. He's going to be a DE in college and isn't solid to Tech, but kept a spot.Amy's Thoughts:Damon's Thoughts:Overall:It was a wonderfully run camp and much better than 2015 when the first camp was run. We didn't have a reason to be out there last year, but everyone mentioned it was better this year as well. Under Armour gets it from a kid and media perspective. Inviting and courteous and even fed us. The Opening and Nike haven't even offered water to me in five years. Deion and his staff always ask if we need anything and yesterday Aeneas Williams asked if I wanted to warm him up during a break. My shoulder said, "no thanks."
