QUARTERBACK MVP: Peyton Houston

Houston was on-point through the entirety of the camp on Sunday. We loved the touch on short and intermediate throws and the velocity on throws downfield. Houston's timing and anticipation continue to sharpen, and his consistency at the position is certainly worth noting.

RUNNING BACK MVP: Lathan Whisenton

Whisenton was a force at the running back position -- blocking and also catching passes out of the backfield. Whisenton is built to run between the tackles and boasts speed to separate from defenders in coverage and soft hands on the receiving end. He's a 2027 back with the arrow pointing up early on.

WIDE RECEIVER MVP: Jabari Mack

Mack is committed to LSU and is trending to be one of the next great pass-catchers to come through Baton Rouge. Playing at 200 pounds this spring, Mack maintains his speed to burn downfield and is a precise route-runner with plus hands and range on the receiving end. The four-star prospects brings explosiveness and physicality to the WR position and hasn't missed a beat since the end of his junior year.

OFFENSIVE LINE MVP: Ismael Camara

The French transplant was absolutely dominant playing left tackle on Sunday. Cara has excellent feet, plays with leverage effectively and is a finisher — which is why we love his upside as an interior offensive lineman. Camara boasts functional strength plus athleticism in an excellent frame.

DEFENSIVE LINE MVP: Jalen Brewster

Brewster was explosive playing multiple positions on the interior defensive line during camp on Sunday. The four-star prospect plays downhill with strong hands and a high motor. Brewster is bendy and versatile and provides major past rush juice from the interior defensive line.

LINEBACKER MVP: Kailer Pettijohn

Pettijohn, the cousin of former five-star Riley Pettijohn, earned MVP honors after a compelling performance in coverage on Sunday. The three-star prospect has great hips and moves well laterally in addition to keeping pace with speedy backs running routes to the sideline and upfield. Pettijohn was sticky in coverage and built to stop the run -- a true three-down defender in the middle.

DEFENSIVE BACK MVP: Jerry Outhouse, Jr.

Outhouse Jr. took home MVP honors despite a loaded field of blue-chip defensive backs competing Sunday. Outhouse was sticky in coverage, able to flip his hips and turn and run with an array of different pass-catchers and close on passes with intensity. We loved Outhouse's physicality on the back end -- able to play off and cover inside and out at a consistent clip -- in addition to getting his hands on several balls along the way.
