Stamps worked out at corner and safety during the two day camp.  He was very fluid on the field and used his long body length and athleticism to shutdown passing lanes.  Very good skill set overall.  He holds offers from: LSU, Grambling St., La Tech, Missouri, Nebraska, Nicholls St., Tulane, UTSA, Troy to name a few.

St. Martinville’s 2023 wide receiver Harvey Broussard showed why he is a top wide receiver in the 2023 Class.  His strong hands and long length creates large catching radius.  At 6’3″ 170 pounds he still has room for development as a route runner.  Very natural feel for the ball and fluid on the football field.  He doesn’t mind getting physical with the defender and will win the battle during tight coverage, a majority of the time.

New Southern Mississippi Golden Eagle commit, Jonathan Bax lined up at both defensive end and also as an outside linebacker.  Bax has been showing his speed, agility, and explosiveness from the OLB position during camps this summer.  He has caught the attention of college coaches with his versatility on the defensive side of the ball. At 6’3″ 235 he has the natural fit for the linebacker position and still has space to grow and develop his body.  Offers: La Tech, Grambling St., Incarnate Word, Southeastern La. Univ., Troy, So.
