After stops
in Akron and Ohio State the past two years, New Level Athletics is bringing
their Midwest 7v7 Passing Camp to the University of Pittsburgh this weekend. There will
be plenty of talent on hand and Scout.com the industry leader in recruiting
coverage will be on hand covering the event.
Here is a
preview of the wide receivers that will display their skills at this event. Who
will shine the brightest one of these known commodities or will an unknown
newcomer rise up and steal the spotlight?
Wide
Receivers:
Steel
City Starz (Yellow) will look to get the ball into the hands of McKees
Rocks/Pa./Sto-Rox playmaker Marzett Geter. “Boo” is one of the most talented
players in the WPIAL with the ball in his hands. He lacks ideal size, but a
strong showing here could lead to big things for Geter. Steel City Starz
(Black) will feature talented sophomore Adam Breneman from Camp
Hill/Pa./Cedar Cliff. At 6-foot-5 and 220-pounds, Breneman could grow into a
tight end. The Small Ball team will likely try to feature the exploits of
Greensburg/Pa./Central Catholic standout Justin Kempka.
Western
PA Swag I features a ton of offensive firepower including arguably the top
underclassman in the WPIAL Robert Foster. Foster is a very talented wide
receiver from Monaca/Pa./Central Valley. Clairton/Pa. speed merchant Trenton Coles holds an offer from Pittsburgh. Industry/Pa./Western Beaver standout
Dustin Creel is one of the best kept secrets in Western Pennsylvania. Perhaps,
the best kept secret in the state and top playmaker in this event may be
Pittsburgh/Pa./Penn Hills prospect Corey Jones. This tournament could go a long
way in helping him pick up some well deserved offers. When healthy Chartiers
Valley athlete Wayne Capers Jr. is among the best players in the state.
Western
PA Swag II will also field some talented playmakers on offense. Clairton/Pa.
speed merchant Tyler Boyd may not get the attention that his teammate Coles
gets, but some think Boyd could be better. New Castle/Pa. athlete Justin Fleo
can do a little bit of everything and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him
line-up at a number of positions this weekend. When it comes to possession
receivers McDonald/Pa./South Fayette Zach Challingsworth will give everyone a
run for their money.
The Goon Squad will look to get the ball in to the
hands of South Bend/Ind./Washington wide receiver Gehrig Dieter. The 6-3,
210-pound, two-way standout holds offers from Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Northern Illinois and Western Michigan. The playmaker for the Goon
Squad is Charlotte/N.C./Phillip O Berry Academy four-star Clemson commit Germone Hopper. Hopper is a running back by nature, but projects as a wide receiver in
college. We are also hearing that South Allegheny/Pa. tight end and Penn State
commit Jesse James may also play for the Goon Squad. The Max Ex Blitz
team from Michigan will feature a talented quartet at receiver including Dennis Norfleet, Ron Thompson, Tyree Monroe and Terry Richardson. Norfleet will likely
play running back, he holds offers from Cincinnati, Michigan State and
Tennessee. Thompson is a four-star tight end with offers from Michigan, Bowling
Green, Indiana, Syracuse and Toledo. Richardson a four-star cornerback can excel
on either side of the ball and he holds double-digit offers from schools all
across the nation.
The
Virginia teams features a number of talented receivers including Eli Harold
who holds a number of offers, including Penn State. He is also a very talented
defensive end who projects as an outside linebacker. Cooper holds offers from
Western Michigan, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Richmond.
Maryland Flex features under-the-radar receiver Tyrone TeMoney. TeMoney
from Greenbelt/Md./Eleanor Roosevelt had a very good showing at Rutgers.
Duval/Md. Tight end Daniel Nwosu is a little undersized, but he also had a
strong event at Rutgers. The Maryland Dream Team will try to get the ball
into the hands of Calvert Hall cornerback/wide receiver Daquan Davis who holds a
West Virginia offer or Baltimore/Md./Dunbar standout Deontay McManus who holds
double-digit offers. One underclassman to keep an eye on will be Bowie/Md. 2014
prospect Chigozie Onyekwere.
Michigan
Preps I will try to get the ball to Shane Barron who holds an offer from
Central Michigan. The PA Playmakers feature two under-the-radar players who blew
up at the Rutgers event Mike Burke and Will McLaughlin. The New York
squad boosts talented Rochester native Marcus McGill. The Renegades team will
feature New Jersey standout Elijah Hughes and Kyle LaPorte.
