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.

Hawks @ Pelicans Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • November 1, 2026
Team Stats (Hawks at Pelicans) Final Score: 99-121 Rebounds: 36-49 Assists: 20-27 Blocks: 4-4 Steals: 11-15 Turnovers: 19-23 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: CJ McCollum, 14; Saddiq Bey, 25 Rebound Leaders: Onyeka Okongwu, 10; Karlo Matkovic, 10 Assist Leaders: Kingston Flemings, 6; Jeremiah Fears, 7 My Player of the Game: Saddiq Bey Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The Hawks average 142 points per game, but because of the Pelicans stifling defense, the Hawks didn't score even 100. * Saddiq Bey finished the game with 25 points, six rebounds, and four steals -- all around huge night for him . * Dejounte Murray did not play as he is recovering from the birth of his child, and Jordan Poole and Yves Missi are still on the injured list . * Jeremiah Fears needs to be the only starting PG going forward. * The Pelicans will play the Memphis Grizzles on Monday, and that team is 6-0 on the season.

Saints 2027 NFL Mock Draft 1.0

By Kaden Arkeder • November 1, 2026
We’re nearing the mid way point of the season and with the Saints sitting at 2-5 an eye on the future is probably a good thing. So I took a crack at a 2027 NFL mock draft for the Saints to see what I could do to put the Saints in a better position for next season. Round 1 - Pick #10 Dylan Stewart - Edge - South Carolina Now I will admit this was a lucky pick based on how the simulator went but I also would not rule out the player for the Saints based on how they have played so far this season. Dylan Stewart is a prototypical edge prospect who has shown flashes of dominance at South Carolina ever since his freshman season. Stewart is considered by many as one of the elite blue chip talents in this upcoming draft class and the Saints would be ecstatic to draft a player of his caliber to take the defense back to a contending level. With all of his talent though Stewart will need an important background check after some on field concerns he had this season between punching a player and arguing with coaches. Round 2 - Pick #41 Kingston Lopa - Safety - Cal Kingston Lopa is a physical outlier for his position. Listed at 6 '5 and 210 pounds Lopa is a matchup nightmare for opposing offenses as he can line up in various spots and fill multiple roles as a defensive back. Lopa’s size allows him to mirror opposing tight ends and bigger slots in man coverage but also has the awareness to be a ball hawk when playing in zone. As evidenced by his five interceptions so far this season. Round 3 - Pick #72 A.J. Holmes Jr. - Defensive Tackle - Texas Tech AJ Holmes is a defensive tackle who knows how to get after the quarterback. Holmes is someone I expect to shoot up draft boards the longer we go through the pre draft process as his combination of size and disruptiveness is coveted by every team. His addition to the Saints defense would bring quality another interior rusher to the room and give the Saints the ability to keep players more fresh throughout the game. Round 4 - Pick #108 Isaac Brown - Running Back - Louisville Isaac Brown is one of if not the most explosive running backs in the country and upcoming draft class. Brown’s speed jumps off the screen and would be a welcome addition to a run game that has been anything but explosive for a long time now here in New Orleans. He is another player where once we get deeper into the pre draft process I am not fully expecting to be here at this point in the draft. Round 5 - Pick #142 Jyaire Hill - Cornerback - Michigan Jyaire Hill is a talented prototypical corner prospect who has not been able to put all his talents together quite yet. But with his 6 '2 frame and athleticism at this point in the draft you love the upside Hill could bring should he develop with more coaching at the next level. Round 6 - Pick #181 Nyck Harbor - Wide Receiver - South Carolina Nyck Harbor has been one of the most athletic freaks in all of college football for a while now and his size and athleticism alone should get him drafted. Standing at 6’5 and 240 pounds Harbor can flat out run as evidenced by his track background. There will be conversations about Harbor converting to tight end which could be on the table but I think it is more likely he continues his development as a wide receiver who can take the top off a defense. This simulation was a fun one as I was able to really address the defense which needs quite the infusion of talent to reach a contending level. The later rounds in the draft were high upside swings with clear visions for their development. If the Saints were able to have a successful upcoming draft addressing multiple needs it would go a long way in helping end their postseason drought. I am looking forward to doing more of these mocks as we lead up to the draft as with more information plenty will change between then and now.
