St. Louis MO Event Recap

Stars Shine Bright at Belleville East HS!

The St. Louis area combine was once again a smashing hit this past weekend at neighboring Belleville East HS.

Hazelwood Central HS' DJ Cameron was the top performer of the entire event, taking home the Junior Overall MVP. The 6'0.5 166 lb wide receiver had an 8'11 broad jump, ran a 4.56 shuttle, 4.62 40 and starred during the 1 on 1's. Cameron has great hands, runs near perfect routes and simply knows how to get open, giving his QB a great target at all times. He still needs to add weight before playing at the next level on either side of the ball, but the talent is there.

RB MVP and Fastest Man award winner Tryan Carey (McCluser North) is a slick and quick running back loaded with talent. The 5'9 162 lb Carey runs a 4.44 40 and 4.52 shuttle, which powered him to big time success during the 1 on 1's. His speed also created major problems for the d-backs, who were unable to keep up with him. Carey's good hands make him a definite dual threat, as he seemingly caught the ball every time it came in his direction.

Seal "For Real" Strehl was the juniors' top QB. At 6'1 201, Strehl has excellent field vision, a good arm, nice footwork and a high IQ. He displayed quick feet during the testing, running a 4.49 shuttle, and is a good leaper, jumping 8'9 on the broad. During the 1 on 1's, Strehl put on quite a show, zipping the ball across the field as if it were nothing. His height and well rounded skills definitely put him on the map after last weekend's performance.

Holding it down on the other side of the ball was DL MVP Robert Smith, a 6'1.5 278 lb phenom. The St Pius HS standout had great strength (bench pressing 185 lbs 28 times en route to winning the Strongest Man award), is fast off the ball, had tremendous hands and is very strong.  Smith had many tough battles with the opposing linemen during the 1 on 1's, but came out on top most of the time due to his size and talent.

Star Sophomores!

John Hardin's Jeremy Harness,  a 5'7.5 171 lb wide out, took home the Overall MVP and Fastest Man awards after an exceptional all around effort. Harness was quick on his feet, fast off the line, had good hands, created a consistent target for the QB's and had a 30 inch vertical. Harness still needs a solid growth spurt in order to dominate on a consistent basis, but his talent can't be questioned.

Sawyer Conrady (Lincoln Community) dominated during the 1 on 1's, putting the offensive linemen to shame throughout his terrific day. At 6'2.5 282, Conrady has tremendous size, awesome power and had an array of moves during the individual period, earning him the DL MVP.

QB MVP winner Thomas Militello (MICDS) is an athletic QB with solid talent. At 6'2.5 173, Militello had an impressive 30.5 inch vertical, 8'6 broad jump, he threw a good ball, played with an array of confidence and kept the offense flowing during the 1 on 1's.

Fabulous Freshman!
