Sights & Sounds: 2021 Jimbo Fisher Football Camp, Part 1
Some of the best high school prospects from across the nation participated in the Jimbo Fisher Football Camp in College Station this week. TexAgs presents highlights of the workouts including Jayden Wayne, Bryce Anderson and more.
A few notes and stuff from Day 1 of Camp
Alright let's highlight a few of our news, notes, and standouts from today's campNew offerTE Jaden Platt, Haslet Eaton - The 6-5, 225-pound standout earned an offer after a strong camp performance. He stood out from the beginning of drills all the way through to the end, and it was not really a surprise. He has been lighting up camps this spring with an 81-inch wingspan, a 10-4 broad jump, and a 4.8 40 and he has also recently reeled in offers from Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Florida State. He is also pretty new to the position, he moved from QB to WR this fall so he has a lot of upside. The Texas A&M offersDB Bryce Anderson, Beaumont West Brook - Anderson made the trip with several teammates making it his second trip to Aggieland in less than a week. He was able to connect with Bobby Taylor again as well as the coaches. All in all, it looks like the Aggies have some positive momentum going at the moment. DE Ernest Cooper IV, Arlington Martin - He did not camp today but it is notable he was in town to cheer on a few teammates. He will visit Ohio State this weekend and he has plans to take an OV to A&M this summer. CB Laterrance Welch, Lafayette (LA) Acadiana - The LSU commit worked at CB and he is fast and physical. He passes the eyeball test and was in the face of receivers all day long. DB Dalton Brooks, Shiner (2023) - He worked at S during 7-on-7 and worked with the DBs at the camp this afternoon. He showed some nice range across the back end and was able to spend some quality time with and met coach Fisher afterward.DE Jayden Wayne, Tacoma (WA) Lincoln (2023) - talk about turning heads as soon as he walked through the door, that is your guy Wayne. He passes the eye ball test with his size and the athleticism is easy to spot once he goes through drills. He is a different type of prospect and showed very well throughout the day. I would put him as the top performer of the day.DE Dylan Spencer, Houston CE King (2023) - Spencer was the headliner of the DL group this morning. He got the job done in one-on-ones OL Micah Banuelos, Burien (WA) Lincoln Catholic (2023) - An interior prospect he showed quick feet and flexibility and a strong punch to go with it.OL Isendre Ahfua, Seattle (WA) O'Dea (2024) This is another one who just comes right in and commands attention. He goes by the nickname Papa and it is easy to see why he is racking up offers with each and every college visit.Offer Watch There are a few I would guys who showed well today that I could see the Aggies potentially offer down the road, and Houston Thomas and Van Wells, and Micah Bell and Dillon Bell headline that list. Wells is on the short side but he dominated camp like he has all spring long. As an interior/center prospect, he is a high-level prospect. Thomas is a long, lean 6-6, 220 and if the Aggies are going to take a second tight end he made a strong case with his catch radius, body control, and hands all catching the eye. Micah Bell clocked a 4.38 40 and then hit the low 4.4s on his second attempt. Dillon has a stout build and showed a lot of versatility as an offensive playmaker. He was also a standout throughout the day at DT. Washington standout 2023s Jayden Limar and Caleb Presley also caught the eye. Presley is a fluid athlete with good size and showed why several programs have already jumped on board for the CB. Limar showed some real explosion and suddenness while working at RB.If you're looking for a young guy to watch, Melissa 2024 DE Nigel Smith II is your guy. He has the size and the athleticism and already holds offers from LSU, North Texas, UTSA, and Notre Dame. His dad played and SMU, and he is definitely an early offer candidate.Others who caught our attentionRB Marquise Collins, College Station (2023)WR Ashton Simmons, Beaumont West Brook (2024)OL Gage Stanaland, Tuscola Jim Ned (2023)OL Rhett Larson, College Station A&M ConsolidatedCB Tayshawn Wilson, Katy Mayde Creek (2023)S DeJuan Lewis, Pearland Shadow CreekATH Hunter Moddon, Houston Clear Lake (2024)
