This weekend Nick Krueger and I were in Dallas for Deion Sanders annual "Prime 21" camp, an event where he brings in a lot of talented underclassmen from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and a few other scattered states. The event was loaded with running back talent from the state of Texas in 2019 and both Nick and I came away very impressed.
Here's what Nick wrote about it:
DUNCANVILLE, Texas – Some of the nation’s top underclassmen skill position players gathered near Dallas on Saturday to participate in Deion Sanders' “Prime 21” event. The camp is specifically geared toward skill position players, with former NFL stars like Sanders, Ladainian Tomlinson and Aeneas Williams serving as coaches. Rivals.com was on hand for the event, and here are our five biggest takeaways.

The quartet of Jase McClellan, Titus Swen, Isaiah Spiller and Qualan Jones were among the day's top overall offensive performers. McClellan and Swen are well-known commodities and were strong again on Saturday, but Spiller has seen his recruitment take off this spring. He showed why as he flashed sure hands and the ability to get open while looking like a prototypical power back, physically. Jones is still looking to open up his recruitment with his first offer, but he's been a star in Texas on the camp circuit this spring - including his appearance in the Rivals Three Stripe Camp presented by adidas - and he provided more impressive moments throughout the day. The Texas running back class in 2019 has a bright outlook in large part due to the prospects at the camp.
