11:34 a.m. ET: Dylan Edwards on my hand time was 4.37 in fastest man contest.

11:24 a.m. ET: We got two clocks on Adepoju Adebawore with a 6.90-6.93 3-cone time. That is an elite mark for a NFL EDGE prospect let alone a rising senior in high school. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

11:16 a.m. ET: Standouts in OL/DL 1on1s:

Adepoju Adebawore is on another level in terms of twitch and explosive movements. That, paired with his elite length and bend around the edge is a unique package as an edge rusher.

Dashawn Womack has been very good off the edge. Explosive and winning several reps as a pass rusher.

Cayden Green has done well and is moving his feet.

Ernest Willor had the most wins among the 2024 prospects and looks the part.

Jordan Renaud has considerable power and is pushing OL into the backfield. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

11:15 a.m. ET: Jordan Renaud with the most power on contact of any defensive lineman in attendance. Wins on initial contact. Collapses pocket. Alabama leads Oklahoma in his recruitment. – Gerry Hamilton, National Recruiting Analyst

11:12 a.m. ET: I don’t think five-star Zachariah Branch has lost a rep today. Another smooth rep. – Jeremy Johnson, National Recruiting Analyst

11:05 a.m. ET: Oklahoma commit Cayden Green with two wins in 1v1s. Quick and reactive feet, solid base and physical on contact. – Gerry Hamilton, National Recruiting Analyst

11:03 a.m. ET: Clemson commit Noble Johnson has strong hands. Finishes through contact with good coverage from Peyton Bowen. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

11:00 a.m. ET: JJ Kohl drops it in a bucket to hit Zachariah Branch on a seam route against Ohio State commit Dijon Johnson. Branch has been stellar thus far. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

10:53 a.m. ET: DB group is elite, best looking group physically and play-wise by a mile.

LB group is weakest group thus far, not a ton of star power performances at this point.

Dylan Edwards has most juice of the RB’s, separating himself.

Adepoju Adebawore, Collins Acheampong and Sydir Mitchell are MVP’s of the DL group before 1-on-1’s – Cody Bellaire, Scouting and Rankings Assistant

10:47 a.m. ET: Edge Chandavian Bradley and Adepoju Adebawore are dueling in twitch. Both going through bags with speed and pop. Both have drawn praise in the drill. – Jeremy Johnson, National Recruiting Analyst

10:36 a.m. ET: Jerrick Gibson is back on the field. – Jeremy Johnson, National Recruiting Analyst

10:25 a.m. ET: 2024 RB Jerrick Gibson off to the side. Being stretched. – Jeremy Johnson, National Recruiting Analyst

10:25 a.m. ET: Lot of big bodies on the OL here, not many developmental types and most are well over 300 pounds. 5-star Miami commit Francis Mauigoa carries the weight the best and has the lightest feet of the group. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

10:24 a.m. ET: Malik Muhammad has a terrific build for a cover cornerback. Long arms, skinny ankles, wiry strong frame. Moves smoothly in drills. – Gerry Hamilton, National Recruiting Analyst

10:20 a.m. ET: Texas commit Johntay Cook II is highly technical and refined with his change of direction. That’s an area where Notre Dame commit Braylon James can continue to improve. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

10:18 a.m. ET: 2024 blue-chipper Jonathan Echols is working out as a TE here. He could be an EDGE long-term. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

10:10 a.m. ET: 2023 TE Jelani Thurman and 2024 EDGE/TE Jonathan Echols’ basketball backgrounds are apparent. Big long power forward types playing as pass catchers. – Jeremy Johnson, National Recruiting Analyst

9:57 a.m. ET: Oklahoma EDGE commit Adepoju Adebawore is extremely twitchy in warmups. He’s noticeably explosive in warmups. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

9:48 a.m. ET: Clemson commit Noble Johnson dressed in black given time the defensive players. Could be working as a defensive back today. (Correction: The black and white represents 7-on-7 teams.) – Jeremy Johnson, National Recruiting Analyst

9:39 a.m. ET: Clemson linebacker and former 5-star Trenton Simpson is here to work the camp. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

9:38 a.m. ET: TE Jelani Thurman has one of the best frames here. The son of former NFL linebacker and WNBA all-star center Kara Braxton has a near 7-foot wingspan and tons of room for growth. I’d expect him to take a big jump physically once he’s in a college strength program. – Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

9:25 a.m. ET: Miami commitment Francis Mauigoa is the most physically impressive lineman at the event.

FSU commit Lucas Simmons frame has extraordinary potential. – Gerry Hamilton, National Recruiting Analyst
