BEST LINEBACKER
“Probably [Ayondele Adeoye]. I only went against him once, but he’s real good. He can cover but he can also hit.” – 2-Star RB Donovan Marshall, St. Louis Lutheran North

BEST DEFENSIVE BACK
“Houston Griffith looked really good. That’s the guy I took notice of.” - 4-star ATH Cameron Jurgens, Beatrice (Neb.)
“Probably Jalani Williams. He’s patient with it. He doesn’t gamble or try to do anything crazy. He’s patient.” - 2019 WR Jameson Williams, St. Louis Cardinal Ritter
“It’s Houston Griffith. He has smooth hips and breaks on the ball.” – 2018 RB Canaan Brooks, St. Louis Lutheran North
“Houston Griffith. He is great fundamentally and he is tough. We had some good battles and he gave me a run for my money. He is very competitive too.” – 2019 4-star WR Trey Knox, Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Blackman
“Andre Turrentine. He is young, but he did really well. He was competitive, he worked hard and he was able to hang with the older guys real well.” – 2019 4-star DB Adonis Otey, Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Blackman
“Probably Houston Griffith. He’s nice. He was just aggressive. A lot of guys were just soft in their off coverage but he was just patient and he made really good plays on the ball.” – Alontae Taylor
“Houston Griffith is one of the best here. I wish I would have gone against him more He’s physical, he covers good, he has good hips.” – Kamryn Babb
Sounds like we need to get in on this Houston Griffith kid.

WR Trey Knox
Recruiting wrap: Florida and Ohio State stand out to Knox early.
Performance: Knox was strong was start to finish. He plucked the ball out of the air and he was tough to stay with. What stood out as much as anything was his agility and burst of speed at his size.

quote:
OT Pierce Quick
Recruiting wrap: Quick is committed to Alabama
Performance: There were no one at his position as good as Quick in St. Louis. He is still a sophomore, but he was dominant on the offensive line. He has added about 30 pounds over the last year, he played with great confidence and he won all but one rep.
Posted on 5/22/17 at 10:21 am to TideSaint
quote:
ATH Alontae Tayor
Recruiting wrap: Taylor is committed to Tennessee.
Performance: Taylor was so impressive that he almost made getting open look effortless, even when battling the event’s top defensive backs. Taylor’s progression from year to year has been very impressive and the more comfortable he becomes as a wide receiver, the better he seems to perform.

WR Kamryn Babb
Recruiting wrap: A four-star prospect, Babb has offers from a laundry list of major schools, including Alabama, Auburn, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Missouri and Tennessee.
Performance: At 6-foot-1, Babb has solid-enough size, but it’s his explosiveness that has made him into a full-fledged recruiting commodity. He faded late, but was nearly uncoverable during the first half of one-on-one work. Babb is a special player and is developing nicely as he marches toward the college game.

ATH Houston Griffith
Griffith made the trip to St. Louis from Florida and the IMG Academy star said it’s just the start of his offseason travels. Nebraska remains a school heavily in the mix and he plans on visiting Lincoln again soon. Other programs on his list of visits include Notre Dame, Ohio State and Penn State. Griffith is hoping that by taking the trips he can narrow his list and focus on a few schools heading into his senior season.

DT Trevor Trout
Trout plans to visit Oklahoma this offseason but is yet to set a date for such a trip. The Missouri-based Trout says he’s familiar with the perception that he’s a Missouri lean but disputes that fact. According to Trout, the Tigers are among his favorite but he could “easily” see himself elsewhere. He also intends to visit USC at some point this summer.
We offered last week.

WR Kamryn Babb
Babb will visit LSU, Alabama and Ole Miss. He intends to narrow his list to nine on May 29 but refuses to name schools he knows will make the cut. Babb says he’s most excited to visit LSU and looks forward to seeing the campus person.

DE Miles Emery
Emery says he’s in frequent contact with Kansas and receives mail from Kansas State. Coaches from Alabama and Miami recently dropped by his school and could be mulling extending offers. Emery intends to visit Louisville and Central Florida this summer.

OFFENSIVE LINE
Class of 2019 Alabama offensive line commit Pierce Quick was an unfamiliar face to many of his fellow campers, but it only took one rep for opposing defensive linemen to learn his name. Quick was very impressive and he continues to makes leaps and bounds in his development as a pass blocker. In addition to winning offensive line MVP honors, Quick also earned an invitation to the Five-Star Challenge.

DEFENSIVE LINE
The most dominant player at the camp, Thompson asserted himself early in one-on-ones and lost just one rep during the event. His build is that of an elite-level college lineman, and his raw power was on display from the jump. Thompson is shockingly light on his feet for a prospect of his massive size and possesses the explosiveness of a smaller prospect. There’s a reason Thompson holds offers from a long list of major programs and he showed off that reason all afternoon. In addition to his MVP honors, Thompson also earned an invitation to the Five-Star Challenge.

ADDITIONAL FIVE-STAR CHALLENGE INVITES
quote:
Four-star linebacker Ayodele Adeoye only had to make a short trip from St. Louis to compete on Sunday, and he looked at home as he put on an impressive performance to earn his invitation. Adeoye is a very physically impressive prospect. and his work against shifty backs in space along with his ability to cover are why he’s one of the nation’s top linebackers. He showed both skills at the event.
