FLK Caleb Cornett (6-3, 184, 4.5, 36 VJ, 4.24 SH, 116 SBJ) of Indianapolis Ben Davis, Indiana - Cornett is an outstanding wide receiver who can make the big catch over the middle. When I watched his highlight film, Cornett just kept making huge catch after another. In fact, on one play, he went-up for a ball in the end zone with two defenders on his back and he came down with the football for a touchdown.

Cornett also has some pretty impressive measurables with a 36 vertical jump; a 116 Standing Broad Jump; and a 4.24 pro shuttle. With his catching ability, great height, and great measurables, it is amazing that he does not have over twenty offers, but I think that this is going to change.

Cornett is so very impressive on his highlight film and I was so impressed with him, I asked him if he would like to play on our Super Select 7on7 All-Star Team and he immediately accepted. I really believe that Cornett can be one of our stars at the Badger 7on7 Regional Tournament. - 1,728 MEARS RATING

 

 FLK Shelby Christy (6-3, 170, 4.5) of Dutchtown, Louisiana - On Sunday March 13, I went to a workout to watch and evaluate a quarterback by the name of  Brandon Fields (6-1, 185, 4.6) who was going to be a potential quarterback for my Select 7on7 Team and I was very impressed with him. The one thing that I did not expect to see at the workout was a 6-3 wide receiver from Dutchtown who had just won the Louisiana State Indoor Long Jump Championship and was catching all types of passes from Fields; but to my shock and gleeful surprise, I did.

Then, when you throw-in his 22-6.5 State Indoor Championship in the long jump and 45-9 in the triple jump, you have an athlete that is just getting started in his athletic career.

I have now evaluated Christy on his highlight film and he made some catches as a sophomore on the #3 5A Team in the State of Louisiana that you simply can not coach. You wake-up in the morning with this God-Given talent.

I really like Christy and I have invited him to join Brandon Fields and Charles "Fast" Davis of Avon, Indiana as my first three committed players for the Emfinger 7on7 All-Star team. Later, Christy won the District 6-5A Long Jump with 21-7 and got second in Triple Jump with 45-5. - 1,720 MEARS RATING

 

 LB/SS Richie Brown 6-2, 225, 4.4, of Long Beach, Mississippi - Brown is one of the best middle or inside linebackers that I have seen in awhile. Last year, as a junior, Brown recorded 151 tackles; had three sacks; and returned two fumbles for a touchdown. When he was only a sophomore, he recorded an incredible 162 tackles; so in the last two years, Brown has recorded a pretty amazing 313 tackles.

On his highlight film, Brown uses his tremendous speed to make tackles on both sidelines and most of the tackles in the middle of the field. He is relentless in his pursuit to the ball and it seems like he is in on every single tackle and his motor is going at 110% on every play. He is a great team player and he has an outstanding work ethic.

I am totally shocked that Brown does not have over 20 offers. He has a few offers, but that will change pretty soon, because all three State schools in Mississippi, including Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Southern Miss, plus Auburn are recruiting him. I am so impressed with Brown, I have invited him to play in my Eighth Annual All-American Bowl Game.

Brown runs the anchor leg on both the 4X100 and 4X200 relay teams and he will still be in track when the Emfinger 7on7 All-Stars go to Birmingham on Friday, but he was with the team on Saturday.

 

In the Badger 7on7 Tourney, Zach Conque (6-4, 215, 4.6) of Little Rock Catholic, Arkansas was one of our most impressive players on offense, but Brown was our most impressive player on defense. Brown is a True Freak on the Football Field with sprinter's speed and playing middle linebacker. He could be a strong safety in college. On one play, Brown covered a speedy running back down the field and intercepted the football when the quarterback still threw the football to him, although Brown had him covered like a glove. - 1,820 MEARS RATING

 

 LB/SS Brian Anderson (6-1, 225, 4.56) of Little Rock Central, Arkansas - Anderson is an outstanding linebacker who plays all over the field and he also makes tackles all over the field. On one play, he will line-up on the outside and another, he will line up at middle linebacker. Sometimes, Anderson lines-up as a standup defensive end.

As a junior, Anderson recorded 73 solo tackles of which 12 were for a loss. He also had 32 assisted tackles; three quarterback sacks; six pass deflections; and forced four fumbles. On one play, he picked up a fumble and ran it into the end-zone and on this play, you could see that he is a pretty fast middle linebacker who could probable play on the outside and maybe even a strong safety. Anderson has also run a 4.32 in the Pro-Shuttle and has done 24 reps of 185 on the bench press.

For this reason, I have invited him to play on our Max Emfinger Super Select 7on7 All-Stars Team and he has accepted. His cousin, Quinta Thomas, of Little Rock Catholic is also on the 7on7 All-Star Team. - 1,780 MEARS RATING

  

 SS/LB Henry Taylor (6-0, 200, 4.5) of Baton Rouge Scotlandville, Louisiana is an undersized middle linebacker with tremendous speed and cover ability to play strong safety. As a junior, Taylor was selected as the All-District Middle Linebacker, but he is such a great athlete, I believe that he can play either outside linebacker or strong safety at the next level.

On one Sunday, Taylor came to Doug Williams Stadium for our 7on7 tryout and practice and I immediately realized that he was a Special athlete that I needed on my Select 7on7 All-Stars Team. On his first play, he lined up at middle linebacker and guarded a running back man-to-man all the way down the field and then deflected the pass away from the running back in the end-zone.

I later found out that Taylor was originally a strong safety, but was moved to middle linebacker so he could get in on more tackles. As a junior, Taylor recorded 108 tackles and two interceptions, but this does not tell the whole story, because he also had 12 pass deflections.

After we did our workout, we worked on pro-agility shuttles and standing broad jumps. I was very impressed with a few of our players as they did some pretty outstanding shuttles, but although he was playing linebacker, Taylor recorded the best pro-shuttle of the day as he did an unbelievable 4.3 in the shuttle.

Taylor will become a valued member of our Emfinger Select 7on7 All-Stars Team, because he can play linebacker or strong safety. Taylor is also an unbelievable physical specimen. In fact, he is the best that I have seen in this recruiting class. - 1,750 MEARS RATING

 

 FS/CB Lloyd Brown (5-9, 185, 4.4, 36 VJ, 4.23 SH, 118 SBJ, 18 Reps) of Slidell, Louisiana - Brown is a tremendous athletic playmaker who can play any of the defensive back positions. Brown is also a Super Combine Freak with bests of 4.23 in the shuttle; a 118 in the Standing Broad Jump; and a pretty impressive 18 reps of 185 on the bench press. Brown has also really never been coached on how to do these Combine feats and I believe that he can do a 4.0 Flat in the shuttle.

Brown also runs the anchor leg on the 4x100 and 4x200 relays, along with running the 100 meter and 200 meter dashes. His best in the 100 meters is a 11.1 and his best in the 200 meters is a 22.6.

As a junior, Brown recorded 56 tackles, including 8 tackles for a loss which is pretty impressive for a defensive back. He played some at linebacker to take advantage of his speed and aggressiveness. Brown also blocked three punts.

Brown is a very good player, but he has been Flying Under the Recruiting Radar for most of this recruiting season. I think that he will be a very good player for The Emfinger Super Select 7on7 All-Stars and he could be one of our best players in the Badger Tournament. - 1,740 MEARS RATING

 

 FS/CB/ATH Garrett Simpson (5-9, 190, 4.38, 36 VJ, 4.1 SH, 119 SBJ, 12 REPS) of Baton Rouge Episcopal, Louisiana - Simpson is a tremendous athlete who has been playing out of position for the last three years in high school.

Simpson actually plays linebacker and he was one of the top tacklers on his team as a junior when he recorded 90 tackles, but he was playing linebacker. He also played fullback on offense, but he was used mostly as a blocker for the Episcopal tailback.

His high school team started off with an 8-0 record and they played Donaldsonville in Game #9. In this game Simpson carried the football on the first series and raced 39-yards, untouched, giving him a touchdown on his first carry of the season, and giving his team an early lead with just over a minute into the game.

His team went on to win that game with Donaldsonville by a 35-16 score, giving Episcopal an amazing 9-0 start. The next game, Simpson never carried the football and his team lost.

Simpson was impressive at the Max Emfinger's First Annual 2010 Super Elite Top Gun Camp and since he is such a great athlete and playing out of position, I think that he can be outstanding in a 7on7 where his great speed and linebacker experience will really be an asset.

For this reason, I have invited Simpson to play on our Emfinger 7on7 Super Select All-Star Team and he has accepted. With a best of 4.38 in the forty, Simpson can play any defensive position on the field in a 7on7 game. - 1,680 MEARS RATING
