Big Boys join the Running Backs and Line Backers to Cap off E7 Skills Training Camp

Josh Vizcaino, Blake 2014 OL – Big Country performed as advertised. He needs to gain some strength, but Vizcaino showed a good first step, good technique and a high motor.

Jaykwon Hosey, Hillsborough 2013 LB – Flat top and all, Hosey moved well in 1on1 mock tackling drills. He has good feet and showed his lateral movement through various bag drills.

Robert Davis, CDS 2013 RB – Fresh off a 4.38 forty at Georgia Tech camp, Davis dominated E7. He’s has a quick burst in and out of his cuts, moves extremely well in space and has great hands out of the backfield to boot.

Bentley Easley, Newsome 2013 DL – Big Bent continues to show his natural movement each and every time he steps on the field. Easley has a quick get-off, violent hands and a high motor. If the first move doesn’t work he goes to a second and a third. Hands and feet stay busy throughout each play.

Ethan Thompson, CCC 2014 LB – He’s making the transition to DB, but couldn’t attend yesterday’s camp due to a conflict with the Gators camp. However, Thompson performed well, especially in pass coverage drills where he showed off his loose hips and quick feet. He has a good change of direction and the ability to stick his foot in the ground to come downhill.

Austin Stroup, Wiregrass Ranch 2015 DL – Stroup was one of  the surprises of the E7 camp. He showed violent hands and the ability to play inside.

Hunter Maclachlan, River Ridge 2014 DL – He looks more like a LB than a DE, but Maclachlan is a smart player. He knows he isn’t the biggest guy on the field so he uses his quickness to get the OL off balance before making a move to the inside or outside.

Marques Ford, East Bay 2015 DL – A long, lean freshman with a great build that could turn into a formidable prospect within a couple years.

Tre Watson, Tampa Bay Tech 2014 LB – He’s just as impressive without pads as he is with pads. A quick change of direction, good lateral movement and nice size make Watson an intriguing prospect. Plus, he loves to hit.
