On January 24th, the 2026 SPE National Camp brought together elite prospects from across the country for a high-level evaluation environment built on competition, instruction, and exposure. SPE National Camp was a controlled competitive environment. Every rep mattered. Every drill was evaluated. Athletes didn’t just show flashes — they demonstrated skill, coachability, and technical growth.
🏆 Overall Camp MVP
Sincere Hester | LB | Eagle Academy for Young Men II (NY)
Hester dominated the evaluation periods. During linebacker-individual drills, he showed elite footwork, clean hip transitions, and advanced read-step in 1-on-1 pass rush reps, he displayed a strong first step and the ability to convert speed into power. During 7-on-7 coverage work, he showed anticipation skills, reading quarterbacks’ shoulders and breaking on throws with precise timing. What separated him wasn’t just athleticism — it was processing speed and technique consistency throughout the camp.
🎯 Top WR MVP
Juevens Lindor | 6’4 215 WR | Eagle Academy for Young Men II (NY)
Lindor’s length and catch radius immediately stood out, but his technical route running is what earned him MVP honors. In release drills, he used controlled footwork and hand fighting to defeat press coverage. During 1-on-1s, he consistently won leverage with sharp stems and explosive breaks. In red zone work, he demonstrated elite ball-tracking and body control on fade routes.
He showed polish — not just athletic traits.
🛡 Top DL MVP / Overall Runner-Up
Samuelu Faumuina | DL | St. John Bosco High School (CA)
Faumuina treated every rep like a teaching tape. In defensive line individual periods, his hand placement and pad level were consistent. During 1-on-1 pass rush drills, he displayed multiple counters — speed-to-rip, inside swim, and bull conversion. His ability to reset his hands mid-rep and maintain leverage showed advanced development for a high school prospect. He was technically sound from start to finish.
🎖️ Top QB MVP
Chris Fields II | QB | Carson High School (CA)
Fields delivered the most complete quarterback evaluation of the camp. In footwork drills, his base stayed balanced and consistent. During route-on-air sessions, he threw with timing and anticipation rather than waiting for receivers to uncover. In competitive 7-on-7 periods, he demonstrated:
Clean mechanics
Proper weight transfer
Layered ball placement
Strong pocket movement fundamentals
He showed command of cadence, communicated protections, and displayed coachability between reps. His consistency separated him from the quarterback group.
