4:41 p.m. – We’re done in Orlando. Team Icons 23, Team Legends 17.

4:40 p.m. – Vandy-bound QB AJ Swann isn’t able to make the connection on fourth down and Icons should be able to run out the clock. There’s less than 1:30 left in the game.

4:35 p.m. – North Carolina four-star WR George Pettaway just had one of the most impressive grabs of the day. He caught a 37-yard pass from Vandy-bound QB AJ Swann while falling backward onto his back. Does Legends have enough to make a late comeback with 2 minutes left in the game?

4:30 p.m. – Uncommitted kicker Grady Gross of Scottsdale (Ariz.) Horizon misses on a 44-yard field goal and the score remains Team Icons 23, Team Legends 17 with 3:57 left in the game.

4:18 p.m. – Texas A&M’s lead might be too large for any team to pass.

The Aggies entered Sunday as the No. 1 team in the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and they will end the day in that spot as well.

3:36 p.m. – It can be tough for defense to stand out during an all-star game, but Clemson signee Jeadyn Lukus made the play of the day so far in the Under Armour All-American Game.

Facing a 3rd-and-14 team in its own territory, Team Legends ran a pass play and looked to get the ball down the field. But Lukus read the ball and leaped up for a remarkable interception.
