Quick Hits from Jackson, MS!

                 

·        Picasso Nelson (Mendenhall MS) proceeded legendary artist Pablo Picasso by hundreds of years and we hate to be corny, but this 5'8.5 154 lb 8th grade sensation painted a picture on the gridiron. Nelson had an 8'5 broad jump, tremendous feet, changes direction well and has soft hands.

·        Travonte Fenton (Oak Grove HS) is a top tier talent with a tremendous future. The 5'11 180 lb Fonton won the Overall MVP after wowing coaches with his 8'10 broad jump, 4.38 shuttle run and skill as a wide receiver during 1 on 1's. Fonton broke free of the defenders on a number of occasions and caught the ball well in the openfield. He is definitely a major deep ball threat.

·        Alex Nicholson, a 6'1 177 lb standout (Northeast Lauderdale) took home the QB MVP and Leadership award. In addition to being a vocal leader with a nevre say die attitude, Nicholson had a 30 inch vertical, 8'5 broad jump, ran a 4.49 shuttle and had impressive mechanics as a QB.

·        Jamonee Brown (Pearl) was the DL MVP at 6'1 277 and Nathaniel Shelby, 6'1 315 (Jim Hill) came up with the same award but on the opposite of the ball. Both Brown and Shelby used their size to their advantage, bullying the opposition during 1 on 1's.

·        JaBorian McKenzie (Wilkinson Christian), 5'7 167, is a stud athlete and won the Combine King award. McKenzie had a 32.5 inch vertical, 9'4 broad jump, ran a 4.39 shuttle and 4.59 40. Athletically, there isn't much more one can ask for.

·        Andre Craine (Brando) has insane skills and won the Junior Overall MVP. The 5'11.5 177 lb standout had a 33 inch verticla, 9'2 broad jump, ran a 4.44 shuttle and was a lock down DB during 1 on 1's. Crane has great hips, excellent closing speed, good footwork and top notch ball skills.

·        Joseph Martin (Mendenhall) and De'Montre Cooper (Jim Hill) shared the LB MVP but have a lot more in common than that. Both were powerfully built, had tremendous leaping ability (8'11 broad jump, 30.5 inch vertical for Martin, 10'0 broad jump, 30 inch vertical for Cooper) and created major frustrations for the offense during 1 on 1's.

·        Michael Brinson (University Christian) was a unique d-lineman. A monster at 6'3.5 285 Brinson had an 8'4 broad jump and ran a shocking 4.58 shuttle. He also bench pressed 185 lbs 23 times. With power, strength, size and quickness, Brinson has a bright future ahead of him.
