The California Power 7v7 team, a national group with prospects from all over the country, breezed through pool play of the Pylon Knoxville tournament Saturday with a 3-0 record. It had a first-round bye for the bracket play Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
Notre Dame quarterback commit CJ Carr<\/a><\/strong> led California Power to a 27-14 victory in the semifinals (there weren\u2019t many teams in the tournament), and then the four-star prospect was key in a 20-6 victory for the championship.<\/p>\n On day one, Carr only had three passes fall to the ground. In the two games on Sunday, I believe he threw three or four incompletions. And how about this \u2014 every drive that Carr led ended in a touchdown. He and Mission Viejo (Calif.) High class of 2026 quarterback Luke Fahey<\/a><\/strong> swapped drives. <\/p>\n My final thoughts are basically the same as what I wrote in my report on Saturday<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 the competition wasn\u2019t very good at this tournament, but Carr was simply outstanding. He made everything look easy. Carr didn\u2019t need to take many deep shots because he was carving defenses up in the intermediate game, but when he did, he was pinpoint. His receivers also made some incredible contested catches; Carr put passes in position for those guys to make the receptions.<\/p>\n Honestly, I didn\u2019t learn anything about Carr that I didn\u2019t already know from the football side of things, but it was cool to see more of what he\u2019s like as a kid and a leader. I would describe him as playful and encouraging. These 7v7 tournaments are really just for fun, and Carr and the California Power team made the most of it. Carr even played receiver and caught a goal line touchdown pass on an inside route during his team\u2019s easy win in the semifinals. <\/p>\n But in the finals, the joking around ceased and it was all business. And Carr was money as he was all week.<\/p>\n \u2014 St. Louis Christian Brothers class of 2024 wideout and Notre Dame target Jeremiah McClellan<\/a><\/strong> played for California Power Sunday after being absent Saturday. He was wearing Ohio State sleeves, and he looks to be trending towards the Buckeyes. In terms of McClellan as a player, I\u2019m bullish on his talents. I think he\u2019s one of the best receivers in the 2024 class. He\u2019s not the tallest, but he has a knack of getting open, has a strong build and can play all over the field on offense. <\/p>\n \u2014 Lee\u2019s Summit (Mo.) North class of 2025 prospect Isaiah Mozee<\/a><\/strong> is a similar player to McClellan at receiver. He\u2019s only 6-0 but is built like a brick as just a sophomore and is an excellent route runner. His ball skills were superb as well. Notre Dame receivers coach Chansi Stuckey<\/a><\/strong> is in pursuit of Mozee.<\/p>\n \u2014 Notre Dame would love to have Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco cornerback Jason Mitchell<\/a><\/strong> in its 2024 class, but it hasn\u2019t made any progress with him. Mitchell doesn\u2019t seem to be interested in the Irish, and it\u2019s too bad, but he\u2019s a freak show of an athlete. He\u2019s listed at 6-2, 180 pounds, but with his length, he looks more like 6-4. He\u2019s being projected as a safety, but he played cornerback this weekend and looked outstanding. Mitchell is considered a lean to USC.<\/p>\n \u2014 Henderson (Nev.) Liberty class of 2024 wide receiver Landon Bell<\/a><\/strong> is committed to Washington and I\u2019m not sure if the Irish staff has much interest in him, but I really liked him. Bell is listed at 6-3, 190 pounds, but he looks well over 200 pounds and might be more of a flex-tight end at the next level. He\u2019s a physical pass catcher who is dangerous in the red zone. Carr connected well with him this weekend.<\/p>\n \u2014 The aforementioned Luke Fahey will be one to watch for the 2026 class. I loved his throwing motion and arm strength \u2014 especially with him being just a freshman.<\/p>\n The post Final thoughts on CJ Carr and Notre Dame targets from Pylon Knoxville 7v7<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The California Power 7v7 team, a national group with prospects from all over the country,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1859\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Quick-hitters<\/h2>\n
