During the 7-on-7 tournament, plenty of attention was being paid to the 1925 team, coached by former Trojans Keyshawn Johnson and Brian Kelly. The team did not have usual quarterback Troy Williams (Harbor City, CA/Narbonne), who was playing with Narbonne in the same tournament. As a result, the 1925 receivers struggled to find a rhythm with their quarterbacks through the first game, although that relationship began working more smoothly as the day progressed.
It’s easy to miss him at first, but eventually you can’t help but notice Mike Davidson (Encino, CA/Crespi). Anything over five feet tall is a generous listing for Davidson, but the guy can flat-out play, and might be at his most impressive during these two-hand-touch games, where he routinely makes people miss in the open field. Obviously his height will impact his recruitment, but Davidson is really fun to watch.
Bryce Treggs (Bellflower, CA/St. John Bosco) is such a smooth football player. He might not be the biggest, fastest or strongest, but he’s one of those guys who is going to be in the right place at the right time and will catch anything thrown his way. Treggs had a game-winning catch on the final play of the game in 1925’s third contest on Saturday.
Sticking at receiver, USC commit
Jordan Payton (Westlake Village, CA/Oaks Christian) had several big impact plays on Saturday afternoon, as he caught what should have been the game-winning pass in the opening game of the day. With just over a minute remaining and trailing by six, Payton got open on a corner route and hauled in a lobbed pass for a score. The opposing team eventually won after receiving a pass-interference call in the endzone on the final play of the game, then scored on the ensuing snap.
