U100 East - Top Performers - Day 2: Class of 2014

Smyrna (DE)- Day two of the ultimate 100 east on Saturday consisted of the class of 2014.   Over 150 rising juniors from around the northeast were on hand to perform against the best in the northeast.   Below are the top performers from U100 East.

James Biggs-Frazier, RB, William Penn Charter, PA

Testing: height 5-7 ½ weight 159 vert 34 broad 10'01 40 4.52

Strengths: Biggs-Frazier was awarded the RB Skill Combine King. Frazier was the second best player on his 7-on-7 team. He was dynamic with the ball in his hands. Athletic, quick, shifty are some just some the words to describe Frazier. Frazier made big plays on deep balls as well. With his vertical jump, Frazier was able to catch some really difficult passes.

Development: Frazier will need hit the weight room and improve his bench press. He will need to put on more quality weight. His route running will need some work also.

Demornay Pierson-El, WR, West Potomac HS, VA

Testing: height 5-8, weight 166.2, vert 30, 40 4.58, broad 9

Strengths: Pierson-El dominated the completion, which earned him the overall MVP. Pierson-El is a complete receiver. He can go over the middle and then catch a nine for a touchdown. His routes were smooth and clean. He created separation with precise routes and his speed. During the 7-on-7, Pierson-El was double teamed and he still made plays. On one play he caught a 5 yard slant and ran 35 yards for a touchdown. He juked out multiple defenders on his way to the endzone. Even though his height is average, He has great body control when jumps in the air for a catch. His mentality is when the ball is in the air, it is his.

Development: Pierson-El is a great football player but he must work on his combine numbers. His numbers are good but for a wide receiver his size, the numbers must be extraordinary. He will need to grow another 2 inches and add more quality weight. Pierson-El has the ability to be a division one player.

Connor Dintino, OL, The Gunnery ,CT

Testing: Height 6-3 Weight 294.0 OL MVP and leadership 19 reps @185

Strengths: Dintino destroyed his competition in the one-on-ones. Already holding an offer from UMass, Dintino displayed why he has an offer as a sophomore. At 6-3 and 294 pounds, Dintino uses his size in the one-on-ones. He has excellent footwork and he has a quick kick step. When opposing defensive linemen tried to use a speed rush, Dintino was athletic enough to square up with them. Rarely did he ever lose a one-on-one. Dintino looks like a mauler in the run game because he stone walled defenders with his strength and size. Dintino won the OL MVP award.

Development:  Dintino will most likely be a guard at the next level because of his height and arm length. If Dintino can continue to grow, he can be a tackle on the collegiate level. Dintino will need to continue hitting the weight room and working on his technique.

Kwami Evans, DE,  Picataway, NJ

Testing: height 5-8 weight 219.0 vert 29.5 broad 9'1 40 4.68

Strengths: Evans is a fantastic athlete, evidenced by his winning the Lineman Combine King award. In the one-on-ones, Evans was able to use his speed to get around the bigger offensive linemen. Evans is very powerful and explosive out of his stance. At times he caught the quarterback in 1.8 seconds. Evans is very coachable and has a great motor. Evans never stops moving his feet.

Development: Evans is a bit of a tweener. He will most likely be a Outside Linebacker at the next level. Kwami will need to keep improving his technique and add more pass rushing moves to his repertoire. He will need to grow a couple of more inches and keep hitting the weight room hard.

Caleb Henderson, QB, Lake Braddock High School, VA  

Testing: height 6-3, weight 220, vert 30.5, broad 9', 40 4.96, shuttle 4.32

Strengths: Henderson looks the part of a pro style QB. He has a great arm, fluid mechanics, and decent footwork. Henderson has a ton of potential and it is no wonder why he already has double digit offers. Henderson can make every throw and has an exceptionally high football IQ. He is very underrated as an athlete as well.   His performance earned him QB MVP award.

Development: Henderson has untapped potential. He did not dominate the competition like he could have. He had surprising inconsistency problems during the 7-on-7 portion. He most likely has had days where his accuracy was better.   Henderson has a tendency to hold the ball and wait for the perfect throw. During the 7-on-7 competition, Henderson was sacked on multiple occasions due to him waiting. He needs to anticipate routes opening up more and not try to make the perfect play.

Trumaine Nieves, LB, Trenton High, NJ

Testing: height 5-10 ½  weight 225 vert 27.5 36 reps of 155

Strengths: Nieves won the Strongest Man and LB MVP awards. Nieves was excellent in coverage. As a linebacker he had the speed to cover RBs and tight ends. In zone coverage, Nieves covered a lot of ground. He made a couple of nice interceptions that displayed his instincts and ball skills. Nieves had one play where he was covering the running back when the back ran a seam down the middle. Nieves was with the back stride for stride and he made a diving play to break up the pass. This play displayed his speed and agility. He has light feet and good hips which are essential for a good line backer.

Development: Although Nieves has good size, he will need to grow another 3 inches. He has good strength and speed right now, but they can always be improved.   He'll see some good competition this fall to test himself in the West Jersey Football league.

Marcus Outlow, RB, Norwich Free Academy, CT

Testing: height 5-10 ½ weight 187.4 vert 31.5 40 4.46 shuttle 4.37

Strengths: Outlow was one of the most impressive looking players. Outlaw's physical attributes are very special. As a sophomore, he already has the build and speed of a Division One running back. His performance on the day earned him RB co fastest man and Dodie D awards. Although Redmon won the RB MVP, Outlow was neck and neck in performance with him. Outlow was very good in the one-on-ones. He was able to beat the linebackers with his speed and he can match the linebackers in physicality.

Development: Outlow needs to gain more muscle mass. His height and size are very good but he needs to keep hitting the weight room. Most running backs need to work on route running and Outlow should not feel bad about it. He needs to keep working on the typical running back routes, such as wheel routes, flats, outs, hitches, bubbles, and sit routes. Outlow has the potential to become a Division One running back.

Darin Peart, CB, Erasmus Hall, NY

Testing: height 5-9 weight 164 vert 30 shuttle 4.33 40 4.59

Strengths: Peart was lock down corner in the one-on-ones and 7-on-7. Peart was matched all day on every team's best receiver. Peart's battles with Pierson-EL were epic. In 7-on-7, his blue team made it to the finals mostly because of the defense. Peart made plays all over the field. He had one pick six and another two interceptions. He has good height and speed for a corner. He is excellent in press coverage where he uses his long arms to reroute the receiver. Peart played offense for his blue squad and he showed that he is a versatile player. His most natural position is corner. Peart blanketed receivers all day. For his performance, he earned the DB MVP.

Development: Peart will need to add more weight to his frame. Peart should be 180 by the time he is a senior. His catching ability will need some work because he dropped a couple of giftwrapped interceptions.

Elijah Redmon , RB, Parkland, PA

Testing: height 5-9 weight 161.4, vert 31.5, shuttle 4.4, broad 8'04, 40 4.46

Strengths: Redmon won the Co fastest and RB MVP awards. Redmon had very impressive testing numbers. Redmon was not just a speedster, he was also very impressive in one-on-ones and the 7-on-7. During the one-on-one portion, Redmon ran past the linebackers and caught every ball. For a running back he has very impressive hands.  Redmon uses his speed to create separation. In the 7-on-7, he was the best receiver for his grey squad. The most effective route he ran was a wheel route. Defensive backs attempted to cover him in the 7-on-7, but Redmon burned past them as well.

Development: Redmon will need to hit the weight room and add muscle. His route running needs some work as well. When Redmon runs his route he has a tendency to drift. Drifting allows the safety or linebacker to disrupt the routes.
