Fairfax LB Tony Rojas
Rojas burst onto the scene at the final William and Mary camp, running a 4.46 40-yard dash and immediately picked up an offer from ODU, since that camp, Rojas has gained offers from Pitt, Duke, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss, and Maryland.
Rojas was the breakout recruit of the camp and that may have changed his life. I wasn’t familiar with him before that camp, but now, I’m all over Rojas as a power five caliber linebacker.
Hopewell QB Mason Cumbie
Three-Sport star Cumbie also excels on the baseball diamond at center field and placed fourth in the 110-meter hurdles in the state track meet. I saw Cumbie during the season but he impressed me again at the final William and Mary camp. Cumbie ran for 325 yards and passed for 276 with just one pick during the shortened season as Hopewell fell to Phoebus in the playoffs. Cumbie has no offers yet though.
St.Anne’s-Belfield (Charlottesville) QB Henry Meulenberg
I had not seen Meulenberg prior to the William and Mary camp but he sure did impress, At 6’5″ and 175lbs, there is room for Meulenberg to add maybe 20lb more to his frame and with a 3.6 GPA, Meulenberg is certainly a target for schools that don’t offer athletic scholarships such as Ivy’s.
To my knowledge, he has no offers yet.
Albemarle (Charlottesville) DB Isaiah Grevious
Grevious really impressed me with his coverage abilities at the Play411 Mega Camp at Virginia Union in both 1-on-1 drills and when the camp went to 7v7 to close out the event. Grevious has good size at 6’1.5″ and 195lbs, his 4.0+ GPA will also open doors for him. Grevious is excellent in coverage and goes up and gets the ball. While he has no offers yet, his tape and GPA should stand out.
Landstown QB Napoleon Ellison
I saw Ellison at a camp in mid-may and came away impressed with his arm and with the touch he can put on the ball. I’m excited to see Ellison in game action come this fall where he will have a chance to really move up the boards as he hopefully gains offers.
King and Queen RB Kam Berry
Berry ran a 4.6 40-yard dash at a camp this summer and is a guy to watch this season in one of the smaller classifications in the state. Being at a smaller school, Berry could be overlooked but he is certainly worth watching. Berry can catch out of the backfield and turn up the field in a jiffy. Berry told me he has interest from UVA, Utah State, and UNC although no offers yet.
Smithfield OL Justin Goodin
I saw Goodin at the first William and Mary camp, already knowing what to expect and was still impressed. At 6’3″ and 270lbs, Goodin has good size and knows how to use it. Goodin has no offers heading into his junior year though.
Had a great day at the @VUU_Football Mega camp! Thanks for putting on such a good camp! @CoachMorita @APtheballcoach @ReeseBecker @CoachBazemore @NorfolkStateFB @coacheltonbrown @ApprenticeHFC pic.twitter.com/Dz8UcZQOKC
