Thursday was the final day of practices for both teams as they get set for the East-West Shrine Game on Saturday. Here are the players that stood out on day four.

EAST

CB Tim Harris – Virginia
Harris was an absolute ball hawk on the field. He had an interception and two pass break ups in Thursday’s practice, not giving an inch of room to the opposing receivers. He displayed his playmaking ability on his interception where he picked it in the end zone and would have taken it the other way for a touchdown had the drill not been stopped. Harris was in the zone in all of his technique, blanketing receivers every which way. He was exceptional on the final day.

QB David Blough – Purdue
This quarterback can throw lasers when needed to. He’s got power behind his passes, and that bodes well when you have to throw the ball into tight spaces on quick plays. In the video you’ll see him put the ball right in between some defenders to get it to Duke tight end Daniel Helm. Blough makes all the correct reads that is asked of a quarterback.

WEST

CB Blace Brown – Troy
Brown is an all effort, all the time, cornerback. His highlight play on Thursday best exemplified that never say die attitude, as he broke up a deep ball that looked to be a touchdown, only for Brown to break up the play at the last moment. He has good range in covering opponents both big and small, but it’s his intangibles that sets him apart.

TE Andrew Beck – Texas
The Longhorn tight end admitted himself after speaking with him that the best part of his game is his blocking, but he showed off his receiving capabilities here. Beck had some big time plays, including about 35 yard reception over the middle that he athletically got up for. He had another catch in stride in which he did a great job moving up the field. In the passing game, Beck is at his best when he’s finding open pockets in the defense beat. You also know he’s a physical player that can be there to block, play special teams, or be a receiving option for you. Beck has said that something important to him that he took to heart growing up is accountability, being where you’re supposed to be, and doing what you’re supposed to be do. He certainly has that trait on the football field.
