The Jon Mack era is officially under way at Encino Crespi, with the Celts playing in a passing tournament Wednesday against Burbank, Panorama and Palmdale Highland and winning each game.

More important in these seven-on-seven competitions is how the individuals perform, and Mack singled out junior linebacker L.J. Wilkerson and senior safety Charles Washington.

Highly regarded receiver Devin Lucien has been picking up accolades on the combine circuit, but Mack isn’t getting on the bandwagon quite yet.

‘He’s got to show me more when the pads go on,’ Mack said. ‘I want him to be physical and a great blocker.’
