Ismael Camara Position?

I see Camara is wearing #1 at Gilmer for media day. I’ve also seen him catching passes during practice. Are they really going to play him at TE this season? If so that’s doesn’t make me feel great about his development track. @Gerry Hamilton

He will play OT in college IMO. He's got tackle feet, flexibility, agility and body quickness. 

I do think his athleticism has to carry over to all important reactive quickness against high-end EDGE athletes, but he has the athletic tools for it. 

 

As far as a senior year at Gilmer, it definitely won't advance his development ... but his junior tape he didn't match up with an SEC or Power 4 player playing OT, so already imited in that regard.

Thanks @Gerry Hamilton

He's got ALL of the physical tools. It'll be up to him to maximize. He's a special, special athlete IMO.

I've heard Gilmer is going to get him the ball some as a senior. Now, how much will it be? I have no idea, but several people have told me he will get handoffs and passes thrown his way. Can't wait to see normal HS kids try to tackle his 6-foot-6, 340 pound frame. 

OTF will be on the road to see him two weeks from Thursday when Gilmer opens the season with an away game at Longview Pine Tree on Aug. 27

Looks like his best football is a few years out. VERY raw on the 1 video I’ve seen. Not looking to finish his man. Hope he reaches his potential

Best football ahead of him for sure. It's important to remember last year was his first and only season playing football and he currently only has 11 games under his belt. He was supposed to play as a sophomore but the UIL ruled him ineligible and playing sub varsity would've been unfair so he sat out and practiced each week. Should take a decent jump from junior to senior year
