Under Armour Dallas Camp: Top Performers

Cody Bby:Cody Bellaire•03/10/24

Dozens of the top prospects in and around the state of Texas made their way to Dallas to participate in the next camp of the Under Armour Next Series — the fourth event of the year. The event featured a number of of blue-chip prospects from the 2025, 2026 and 2027 cycles.

On3 was on hand to take in the action. Here are the top performers from the day, headlined by one of the nation’s top wide receivers in the rising senior class:

On3 MVP: WR Dakorien Moore – LSU commit

There’s a certain expectation that comes with showing up at an event like this as the top wide receiver in the country and Dakorien Moore not only met those expectations, he exceeded them. The 5-star product out of Duncanville (TX) was truly spectacular out there on Sunday afternoon and left no doubt as to who was the best athlete on the field. His ability to throttle his speeds up and down and change gears with his route running is borderline special. Moore showed that he can set up defenders at the top of his route and use his hip flexibility and foot speed to sink and get out of his breaks at an elite level. He showed he has the top-end speed to win vertically as well as he ran right by multiple corners during the 1-on-1 portion of the event. He displayed strong and natural hands and the ability to consistently pluck the ball away from his frame during the gauntlet drill and was technically sound during the individual drills. All in all, Moore proved that not only was he the best receiver out on that field, he was the best player period.

2. OT Ty Haywood

In what was an extremely talented group of offensive linemen, Ty Haywood stood out as the alpha of the group. His power and punch at the point of attack made head turns during the individual portion of the event. Haywood’s dominance was made very evident during the 1-on-1 period where he flashed functional strength and elite movement skills in order to stone his opposition. His ability to stay balanced with a strong base allowed for him to shoot his hands and shut down defenders before they could even attempt to make a move against him. He is a rare athlete with tremendous length along the offensive line and was a brick wall on Sunday.

3. RB Michael Turner

The running back position is one of the tougher position groups to shine in during camps and events like this, but Michael Turner stood out in a big way on Sunday afternoon. The Richland (TX) product has excellent size for the position and possesses smooth movement skills and footwork when going through bag drills. He showed great burst and wiggle during the individual period as well as soft hands and natural ball tracking skills. But it was the 1-on-1 period where we really got to see him display his dominant route running ability and natural hands at the catch point. He was consistently able to separate from defenders and made multiple contested catches throughout the afternoon. Turner is a complete back who proved that not only is he a threat between the tackles, but a true weapon in the passing game as well.

4. OT John Turntine (2026)

In an offensive line group that touted multiple national prospects in the 2025 recruiting cycle, a 2026 from North Crowley (Texas) showed he could hang with some of the best offensive linemen in the country. John Turntine III was a bully during Sunday’s event. His play strength and lower body power was on full display during the 1-on-1 period. He was a borderline immovable object once he got his hands on defenders due to his lower half and ability to anchor once engaged. And yes he’s powerful, but his foot speed and ability to redirect while maintaining body control and balance was eye-popping. Turntine III has immense upside and he proved on Sunday that he possesses more than enough physical and athletic traits to thrive at the next level.

5. IOL Danny Beale (2026)

Danny Beale is a two-way player along the offensive and defensive fronts for Cross County (AR), but worked out on Sunday afternoon as a defensive lineman and put on a pass rushing clinic from the interior. The defensive line group was manhandled for the majority of the workout, but every time Beale lined up he bullied the offensive lineman in front of him. He is a barrel chested, large-bodied monster as an interior defender but possesses excellent twitch and burst off the line of scrimmage at his size. His ability to get upfield in a hurry and put offensive linemen on their heels allows him to turn speed to power and bulldoze blockers back into the quarterback. His athletic ability combined with his size is rare for the position and he shined along the defensive line.

6. QB Keelon Russell – SMU commit

Keelon Russell broke onto the scene at this exact camp last spring. The leaner, athletic 15 year old had fantastic zip on the football but had some tweaking and fine-tuning to do on his mechanics. Fast forward to 2024 and Russell has grown into his frame and still has that whip on him and he showed it off during Sunday’s event. The ball truly jumps out of his hand. He has the ability to make every single throw at every level of the field no matter what hashmark he’s standing on. But one of the things he displayed during Sunday’s camp this year as opposed to last year was his ability to layer the football and throw with touch. He still has the fastball and can throw lasers over the middle of the field, but he truly impressed us today with his deep ball accuracy and ability to layer the ball down the seam and down the sideline over the top of defenders. That showed he had truly grown and added another dimension to his game and he was lights out during every period.

7. DL Zane Rowe (2027)

In a camp loaded with national prospects in the 2025 and 2026 recruiting classes, only a handful of 2027 prospects were even invited to the event. But one in particular stood out in a huge way and that was Zane Rowe. In fact, he actually worked out along the defensive line in the morning workout and then switched to tight end for the afternoon portion of the event and truly shined during both sessions. His frame and build combined with his athleticism made him a tough defender to get hands on as a pass rusher during the 1-on-1 OL/DL period. He showed some terrific bend and ability to burst off the line of scrimmage. Then during the afternoon he displayed strong hands and great wiggle as a pass catcher. Rowe was able to win a fair amount of his 1-on-1’s against defenders and showed some flashes of comfortability in plucking the ball away from his frame in contested catch scenarios. At the end of the day, Rowe proved that he could hang with the big dogs, even as a puppy.

8. RB Kaydin Jones (2026)

The dynamite running back from Oklahoma made his way down to Arlington and put on a route running showcase during the 1-on-1 period. Nobody was able to lay a hand on Kaydin Jones throughout the period and he was absolutely electric. His ability to set up linebackers and get them off-balanced in order to separate is special. He displayed terrific ball tracking and was arguably the best pass catcher of the group. Jones showed good foot speed and agility during the individual period as well and has the frame to continue adding mass throughout his frame. If he’s able to add mass while maintaining his athleticism the sky is the limit for him as a three-down back at the next level.

9. WR Dilon Tallie

One of the most consistent performers of the entire event was Dilon Tallie. The long and lean wide receiver from Arlington Bowie (TX) has such a great frame with excellent length for the position. He has such natural hands and was one of the smoothest route runners at the camp. The way he was able to get in and out of his breaks with little to no wasted movement was an absolute treat to watch. Plus, he flashes the ability to go win 5$3 50-50 ball and made a couple of contested catches during the 1-on-1 period including multiple deep balls downfield. He has tremendous upside and showed that he has the physical and athletic gifts to develop into a premier prospect as an outside receiver.

10. LB Riley Pettijohn

Arguably the most physically impressive defensive player on the field during Sunday’s camp was Riley Pettijohn. The way he carries his weight and moves around the field is phenomenal. Pettijohn is such an effortless mover as he glides across the field. He has such easy makeup speed that even when he gets beat at the top of the route he is still able to flip his hips and break to the ball in order to breakup would-be simple completions. His combination of size and speed allows him to cover so much grass at the linebacker position. His ability to trigger and close to the football is special and it was on full display during Sunday afternoon. Pettijohn has as much potential as any linebacker in the country and showed that he has a case as one of the most athletic prospects in America, regardless of position.
