U100 East - Top Performers - Day 1: Class of 2015/2016

Smyrna (DE)- Day one of the Ultimate 100 East consisted of athletes from the classes of 2016 and 2015. Over 200 rising freshman and sophomores from around the northeast were on hand to perform against the best in the northeast. Below are the top performers from U100 East:

James Brickhouse, DB, Bayside HS, VA (2015)

Testing: height 5-7 ½  weight 153.8, vert 26, 40 4.78, shuttle 4.49

Strengths: Brickhouse was amazing in the 7-on-7 competition. He played wide receiver and corner for his gold squad. He was the best receiver and DB on the team. He intercepted a pass and then on offense he scored a touchdown immediately afterwards.   Brickhouse was also a playmaker. While his forty time was solid, he seemed much faster on the field while competing.  It seemed like he ran a 4.4 in game situations. On defense, Brickhouse displayed good hips and was very good in press coverage.

Development: Brickhouse will need to grow a little bit taller. He will need to put on more quality weight and add more muscle. He will also need to improve his testing numbers and speed.  Brickhouse is a very good football player but he might not have the measurables and speed just yet.

Chris Chungunov, QB, Montgomery, NJ (2015)

Testing: 6-0 height, weight 170, vert 27, broad 8'1

Strengths: Chungunov won the QB MVP on Friday.  Chungunov has good height and size for a QB his age. His mechanics and footwork are also very good for his grade. Chungunov excelled in the 7-on-7 competition. His throws were smooth and accurate. He showed a great knowledge of the game and demonstrated that by making the correct reads on his throws.

Development: To be a Division One prospect, Chungunov will need to grow at least 2 to 3 inches.   He will also need to keep working on his mechanics and arm strength. Chungunov might have some difficulty throwing the outside routes as he gets older if he does not gain more arm strength.

Dionte Fleming, LB, Poly Prep, NY (2015) 

Testing: height 5-10 ½  weight 226, vert 28, bench 31 @135, broad 8'5

Strengths: Fleming won the Linebacker MVP. Fleming was the best Linebacker in coverage on the day. He was able to lock down the speedy running backs in the one on one drills.  Fleming showed great athleticism and great hips. Fleming always stayed low and was excellent in press coverage. He rarely ever lunged or was off balance in his jams. In 7-on7, Fleming displayed ability to cover tight ends, WRs, and RBs.  Fleming rarely ever let the receiver get inside of him on a slant in press coverage. Fleming made one particular play during 7-on-7 that was very impressive, an acrobatic leaping interception.

Development: Fleming will need to grow taller and keep getting stronger in the weight room. Fleming will keep learning the finer points of the game and learn more technique in coverage. He will need to learn route recognition and understand when to jump a route.

Rashan Gary, DT, Park Middle, NJ, (2016)

Testing: height 6-3 weight 289.2, vert 24.5, 40 5.1, bench 26 @ 135

Strengths: Two words to describe Gary are "freakish" and "dominant". The scary part is he will only be a freshman next year. Gary has the size of a high school senior right now. With his size it is unfair how athletic he is right now. He ran a 5.1 forty at 289.2 pounds. During the one-on-ones Gary could not be stopped. He was extremely explosive out of his stance and very agile. Gary had a good push-pull and a great inside rip move. Most of the time he overpowered the lineman with a straight bull rush. With his weight, power, and explosion, he is really tough to stop. Gary could also become a great offensive lineman with athleticism and strength. Gary won the Overall MVP on Friday. If he does what he did at the combine on the field, he will be a very special player. Gary already claims an offer from Rutgers. Gary will easily be a 20 plus offer kid and a national recruit if he continues to develop.

Development: Gary will probably need to grow another two inches but it is not necessary. He will need to continue to hit the weight room and add muscle to his frame. Since he is so young, he still needs to master some more football technique. As he progresses through his high school career, he will be coached up on hand fighting and the proper way to fight off down blocks and double teams.   It will be scary to see him as a high school senior.

Tramayne Griffin, WR, Ocean Lakes HS, VA (2015)

Testing: height 5-7 ½  weight 163.8, vert 34, shuttle 4.23, 40 4.49

Strengths: Griffin was the Fastest Man and Combine King on Friday. Griffin used his athletic ability to get open and score touchdowns. Griffin caught the ball at its highest point in traffic. With his vert of 34, he was able to outjump defenders and make acrobatic catches. Griffin had the mentality that any ball in the air was his. Griffin was able to run past defenders on nine routes and score touchdowns at will.

Development: Griffin will need to keep getting stronger and add more weight to his frame. Route running is another aspect that Griffin will need to work on. He relies on speed to get open and he will need to learn more technique as he gets older. Little things to work on are footwork which he can master by using a ladder and going through some drills.   He will need to learn to set up his routes better by stemming his routes and using subtle head fakes.

Jonathan Holland, DE, Bullis HS, MD (2015)

Testing: height 6-2 ½  weight 221.0, vert 25.5, 40 4.82, 18 @ 155 broad 8'4

Strengths: Holland is a very impressive looking freshman. He has great size for a kid his age. For his size, Holland is very athletic. He has long arms and uses length to his advantage by keeping the lineman's hands off of him. Holland ran a 4.82 in the forty which is very good for a  Defensive End. Holland used his speed very well in the one-on-ones to get around the offensive tackle. When the tackle started to prepare for his speed, Holland would overpower them with his strength on a bull rush. Holland showed great explosion out of his stance and he always kept his feet moving.

Development: Holland will need to keep growing to attract college coaches. By his senior season Holland should be 6-4 and 255 pounds. Holland will need to keep hitting the weight room and build his muscle. Holland will need to expand his repertoire of pass rush moves. Right now he is able to dominate with his size and speed and a good rip move.

Chris Parker, DB, Poly Prep, NY (2015)

Testing: height 5-5weight 145, vert 32, broad 9'05, shuttle 4.34, 40 4.56

Strengths: Parker displayed impressive coverage skills during the one-on-ones. His Black 7-on-7 team won the championship and Parker led his team with a couple of pick sixes. Parker's testing numbers were quite impressive. Parker had a knack for finding the ball and making plays once he made the interception. He showed playmaking ability with the ball in his hands. Parker displayed impressive ball skills. In the on-one drill, Parker was very good at keeping tight coverage on his receiver. Parker was very good at using his hands and swatting the ball with perfect timing.

Development: Parker will need to grow 5-9/5'10 range to get Division One looks. He will need to gain more quality weight and muscle by the time he is a senior. Parker's ideal size as a high school senior should be 5-10 and 175 pounds. Parker will need to keep working on his breaks and t-step.

Quincy Watts, WR,  Ocean Lakes HS,  (2015)

Testing:  height 5-8 ½  weight 158.6, vert 29.5, shuttle 4.44, 40 4.61, 9' broad

Strengths: Watts was a dynamic playmaker in the 7-on-7s and the one on ones. He was making plays all over the field. Watts ran good routes and had a great understanding of coverages. He was able to stem his routes to the openings in zone defenses. Any throw that came his way, he was going to catch. Watts carried his 7-on-7 team to a victory in the 7-on-7 portion. Watts earned the WR MVP for the first day.

Development: Watts is a very good player right now. He already has very good testing numbers and as he gets older he will only get faster. Watts will need to grow to 5-11 and put on more quality weight as he grows older. If Watts continues to work hard he will be a Division One athlete.
