Northshore Prep Report Showcase Camp Delivers:

90+ Prospects Shine in High-Energy Football Prospect Camp on the North Shore


By Patrick Harkness (@RollDatWave / @beinthekneaux)


The North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain came alive with football talent on Sunday, May 3, 2026, as the Northshore Prep Report Camp took over Lakeshore High School. 


Organized by Northshore Prep Report in partnership with Varsity Mgmt LLC and No.2 Sports Performance, the camp drew more than 90 players from the 2027–2030 classes, along with 10 coaches elevating the next wave of Louisiana (and beyond) standouts.


Camp Director Craig Brodie deserves high marks for the smooth operation, with players receiving recruiting profiles, camp shirts, and valuable reps in position-specific drills. 


Special guests included Kentucky Wildcats WR legend Dicky Lyons and Northshore Prep founder Michael MacMillan who organized it all. The atmosphere was electric, full of competition, coaching, and connections.


I was on site for Be in the Kneaux and for scouting, for my Tulane Green Wave Season Preview: Pats Deep Dive Recruiting.


Overall, it was a great camp, very well run and a great staff! I would definitely recommend going to this camp in the future if you have a kid who’s trying to get recognized, they got something cooking! Great people, coaches and players.


Standout Prospects and Highlights:


The camp focused on skill positions and secondary play, with Height and Weight check ins, 40-yard dashes, broad jump, shuttle drill, route running, coverage drills, and quarterback sessions stealing the show.


Here are some of the top performers who turned heads:


•  CJ De Leon, Class of 2027 WR (Dunham School / Baton Rouge, LA – 5-11, 160)
Explosive off the line, crisp route running, sharp cuts, and the ability to high-point the ball. In High School games De Leon showed reliable hands, strong catch radius, and big-play ability after the catch. A multi-sport athlete (basketball/track) with dance-trained body control, he’s an under-the-radar Power 5/G5 prospect coming off a state championship season.


•  Dylan Henry, Class of 2027 DB (Mandeville, LA – 5-11, 170)
A lockdown corner who mirrored receivers tightly and broke on the ball with natural instincts. In High School he is physical in run support and versatile enough to play nickel, outside, or free safety. Already holding multiple D1 offers (South Alabama, Oregon State, UCF, Old Dominion), Henry is a First-Team All-District 6-5A talent and teammate of fellow standout Krew Collura. 


•  Delwin Perkins Jr., Class of 2027 DB (McComb, MS – 5-10, 170)
A ball-hawk extraordinaire with a history of interceptions (6 as a sophomore, 4 as a junior) and elite timing. Perkins played physical press coverage at the line, showed hip fluidity in man, and brought aggression in run support. The Mississippi 4A First-Team All-State DB (and cousin of DeVonta Smith) has Power 4/G5 interest and 4.0 GPA pedigree.


•  Krew Collura, Class of 2029 QB (Mandeville, LA – 6-0, 185)
The young gun with sky-high potential. The lefty freshman starter put up monster numbers (2,373 pass yards, 23 TDs, 64% completion + 629 rush yards and 6 TDs) and flashed a clean release, velocity on deep balls, touch on seams, and elusiveness as a runner. Already holding a Syracuse offer, Collura’s poise, football IQ, and leadership scream “rising Power 4 prospect.” 


*  Ethan Kimmie, Class of 27 WR (Baton Rouge, LA - 6-4, 195) Dynamic, high-upside WR who dominated his junior year with 950 yards and 12 touchdowns. Explosive athlete with quick and sudden release. Ethan has reliable hands with a big catch radius and can go up and get the football. Already showing size, athleticism, and production to be a boundary X or redzone threat.


•  Da’John Howard, Class of 2027 QB/ATH


Showed flashes in the quarterback drills, adding another layer of athleticism to the camp’s skill-position talent pool. In High School he is a dual threat guy who can punish you with his speed. Shows toughness, burst, vision and elusiveness as a runner. As a passer Howard has a live arm and good velocity. With his 4.44 forty on Hudl I could see Da"John as a WR or DB at the next level. 1,900 passing yards, 16 tds, led Salmen to a District 7-5A Championship. Rising Recruit.


Additional buzz surrounded Fontainebleau’s Sheldon Asmore, who blazed a 4.47 forty, turning heads in the speed testing.


Why This Camp Matters:


Northshore Prep Report continues to solidify its role as the go-to digital platform for Northshore high school sports coverage, and this showcase camp delivered exactly what prospects and coaches need: live evaluations, measurable testing, and direct recruiting exposure. 


With the 2026 high school season on the horizon, several of these standouts are already generating recruiting interest and will be names to watch in the fall.


The North Shore Prep Camp isn’t just another event; it’s the start of something special for local talent.


Expect more in-depth profiles and recruiting updates from NorthshorePrepReport.com and myself in the coming weeks.


If you’re a player, parent, or coach looking for the next big opportunity on the Northshore, mark your calendar for future Northshore Prep Report camps. They’re cooking something good up here and the future of Louisiana football is brighter because of it.

A quick share helps us a lot!

By Chrissy Smith August 3, 2026
For more than 15 years, I had the privilege of telling sports stories as a writer. Before that, I experienced the game from a different perspective—as a college basketball player. Those experiences shaped how I see basketball. The game is more than a final score. It's about the decisions, the adjustments, the matchups, the strategy, and the moments that decide winning and losing. That's why I'm excited to launch a new chapter of Pelicans coverage focused on one simple idea: Understand the Pelicans. Don't just watch them. Starting this season, I'll be providing in-depth coverage of the New Orleans Pelicans through: * Weekly written analysis breaking down the team, players, strategy, and biggest storylines. * Film breakdowns explaining the X's and O's behind what happens on the court. * Weekly podcast conversations discussing the latest from the Pelicans and the NBA. My goal is simple: to give Pelicans fans thoughtful, fair, and knowledgeable coverage that helps you see the game in a different way. Just honest reporting, basketball insight, and a passion for the New Orleans Pelicans. Whether you've been following this team for 20 years or you're just getting started, I hope you'll join me as we take a deeper look at the team we all love. Understand the Pelicans. Don't just watch them.

OG 
Riley Rushing- (D2) Mars Hill U 
Riley Rushing fits Tulane as a 6’4”, 295-pound versatile interior offensive lineman (OG with OT experience) with proven D-II starting production, elite physical finish, block-sustaining ability, and pancake-heavy run-game dominance who immediately adds competition and depth to a revamped OL room needing toughness and flexibility after key graduations. 
He’s a junior transfer from Mars Hill University (D-II, North Carolina) who committed on January 5, 2026, via the portal (entered November 20, 2025). A product of Milton HS in Alpharetta, GA (near Atlanta), he has two years of eligibility remaining (#71).  
Athletic Profile and Scheme Fit: Tulane’s offensive line (under head coach Will Hall and OL coach Cody Kennedy) prioritizes physical, nasty trench warriors who sustain blocks through the whistle, dominate the run game with pancakes, and provide reliable pass protection on the interior in their west coast hybrid attack. Rushing is a perfect match as a high-floor, scheme-versatile piece. 
• Size and physicality: At 6’4”/295, he brings a powerful, long-levered frame with the agility to play fast, ideal for sealing edges, pulling, and finishing blocks violently. 
• Versatility and technique: Two-year starter who has lined up at both OG and OT (plus interior flexibility). Excels at sustaining blocks and piling up pancakes; recorded zero sacks allowed in the 2025 season despite heavy snaps. 
• Intangibles: Southeast ties (Alpharetta, GA) and a reputation as a relentless, high-motor finisher who brings toughness and football IQ from a competitive D-II program. Tulane targeted portal OLs with immediate starting upside to replace departed starters like LT Derrick Graham and LG Shadre Hurst. #RollWave Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X
