Stands out and award winners from FBU Las Vegas

FBU Las Vegas

Gatorade “G” Award Winners

• WR/TE Chase Otteson – At 5-foot 11 and 165 pounds Otteson is almost strictly a wide receiver, but that hasn’t stopped him from impressing the FBU coaching staff in Las Vegas. FBU’s Erik Richards said Otteson was “almost beyond redemption” in the Sunday slot and at times he looked like a fellow Nevada native and No. 2 wide receiver. 1 of 247Sports in the 2023 class Branch of Zechariah. Overall, Otteson’s performance at FBU Las Vegas should be put on the radar of several college programs across the country and especially in the West.

• QB Ace Amina (2028) – For those of you who don’t know the FBU fields have been around for over 20 years and Richards has been a part of the operation since its inception so has seen a lot of perspective over the years. Richards raved about Amina after FBU Las Vegas and told 247Sports that he compares with the likes of Trevor Lorenzo at a similar age. He has played youth soccer at a high level and will be attending the powerful Bishop Gorman for high school. Finally, after the camp performance she had at the FBU in Las Vegas, keep Amina’s name in mind for the future.

Invited to National Associations

• QB Kaneal Sweetwyne (2026) – Utah native Sweetwyne is a huge middle school prospect at 6-foot-4 and with that big frame comes great arm talent that he showcased at the FBU in Las Vegas. After his performance at the camp he earned an invitation to the National Combine to the All-American Bowl which will allow him to compete against other talented middle school prospects.

• OL Logan Nibbelin (2025) – Nibbelin is a reigning FBU Freshman All-American and he showcased that talent this weekend at FBU Las Vegas. At 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds he’s somewhat limited size-wise, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in skill and strength of play. If Nibbelin continues to perform like he did at the FBU in Las Vegas, then he’ll do well at the National Combine at the All-American Bowl.

• OL Demetri Manning (2025) – Manning is a massive 6-foot-7 and 340-pound offensive tackle prospect, so it’s no surprise that he put on quite a show during the competition portion of FBU Las Vegas. He already has some Power Five offers and is expected to pick up more after the National Combine at the All-American Bowl next winter.
