25. Mississippi State

The four most highly rated Bulldogs commitments are junior college prospects, who aren't involved with The Opening process. Mississippi State still has a lot of work to do, as its yet to land a 4-star high school recruit during this cycle.

The program covets in-state cornerback Nigel Knott, though Oregon is the team to beat for his commitment. Wide receiver A.J. Brown is another in-state prospect expected to attend The Opening.

Elite 11 finalist Dillon Sterling-Cole remains a primary concern for the Bulldogs, who are still in search of a 2016 quarterback.

24. Auburn

Auburn legacy Stephen Davis Jr. should be fun to watch, as he brings a 6'4" frame into seven-on-seven coverage. His range presents possibilities at outside linebacker and safety.

Wide receiver Eli Stove, a 4-star talent who committed to the Tigers in late May, is considered a top-10 prospect at the position. He'll have a chance to separate himself from the pack while operating against elite defenders at The Opening.


Auburn recently hosted top-rated defensive tackle Rashan Gary, who roomed with Tigers freshman Byron Cowart in Beaverton last summer. Defensive coordinator Will Muschamp would love to land him and fellow 5-star tackle Derrick Brown, who should challenge Gary for defensive line MVP honors at the showcase.

Other Auburn targets in Oregon include in-state linebacker Ben Davis and Georgia running back Elijah Holyfield. Despite a commitment from quarterback Woody Barrett, keep an eye on Elite 11 finalist Jawon Pass.

10. Texas A&M

All eyes will be on top-rated offensive lineman Greg Little when he takes reps against New Jersey defensive tackle Rashan Gary. The 5-star recruits are listed second and first overall, respectively, in composite 2016 rankings.

Little recently visited Ole Miss and Alabama, but remains at the foundation of another strong Aggies class. It could grow much stronger with the addition of several targets expected to compete in Beaverton.


In-state defensive backs Eric Monroe and Deontay Anderson are paramount prospects for Texas A&M, along with wide receiver Tren'Davian Dickson and cornerback Kristian Fulton. Top-rated 2017 interior offensive lineman Jack Anderson is high on the Aggies board and has a chance to show off his prowess against more experienced opponents.

Elite 11 finalist Dillon Sterling-Cole is a Texas A&M legacy and remains uncommitted. His other options include Arizona State, Houston and Florida.

5. Alabama

The Crimson Tide will be well-represented as usual in Beaverton. Nick Saban is attempting to assemble a sixth straight top-rated recruiting class, so his roster in Tuscaloosa is loaded with Opening alumni.

Alabama defensive commits can be seen throughout the week, with tackles Kendell Jones and Raekwon Davis set to do damage in the trenches. Recent pledge Jaquan Yulee, a Virginia linebacker, is also invited.

Saban would love to land a pair of 5-star linebackers in attendance. In-state standouts Lyndell Wilson and Ben Davis, a Crimson Tide legacy, are among Alabama's most coveted recruits in this cycle.

"They have all the national championships, an excellent coaching staff and very good structure," Davis told Bleacher Report. "Alabama always has one of the best recruiting classes every year, so I'm interested to see what kind of class they put together this year too."

Defensive tackles Rashan Gary and Rashard Lawrence are other 5-star possibilities for Saban. Maryland athlete Trevon Diggs wore Crimson Tide gloves at The Opening regional in Virginia and could make an impact on either side of the ball if he ends up at Alabama.

glowing reports across the board, except for Hootie Jones. Coker still hasnt won the starting job, Cornwell closing in with good 7 on 7 performances.

A name to keep an eye on is former West Virginia running back Andrew Buie. I've heard if Alabama takes another transfer it will be a running back, and Buie is a possibility. This is not to say it will happen, but this is someone who is in talks with Alabama.


From Bone on another transfer name to watch.

Sounded like Hootie wasn't developing fast enough, or some guys jumped ahead.

Might be another Jarrick Williams scenario. Athletic enough to play several spots, just wasn't trusted until 3 years of drilling the defense into his head.

Looks like a fine 3rd or 4th RB. Goodness knows we need some depth for one season. The Texas OT talked about as visiting and looking to transfer got abused at the OL/DL camp by the Hulk. I doubt we add him.

Didnt have a committable offer.




If we're not allowing him to commit, things are looking good indeed.

I told you guys weeks ago to keep an eye on Keith Gavin, current FSU WR commit. Bama's really high on him, and he's apparently listening to us. He blew up the FSU camp a few days ago.

There have been rumors about his grade problems. One guy on TSWSNBN was none to excited when Trevon Diggs announced that Bama was his leader. He said the guy is a huge liability off the field. I know that sounds like sour grapes now, but he posted that when it looked like we were the team to beat.
