It has been talked about for a while but I can now confirm that a large contingent from New Jersey and Pennsylvania will visit Auburn, Alabama and Ole Miss between July 12-16.

Likely visitors include 5-star Rashan Gary, Rivals100 WR Ahmir Mitchell, Rivals100 TE Naseir Upshur, Rivals250 DE Ron Johnson, 2017 4-star OL Cesar Ruiz and 2017 3-star DL Corey Bolds. Expect this list to change multiple times between now and then.

ATH Demetris Robertson | Savannah (Ga.) Christian

Because Robertson doesn't do as much talking as some, his big performances can slide under the radar at times. But when his team needed a big play down the field, Robertson was the man to provide it. He had several impressive touchdown catches and even came on to haul in a game-sealing interception while playing defensive back.

BRADENTON, Fla. -- Talent from all across the country took the field at IMG Academy for the first day of the annual IMG 7-on-7 national championship on Saturday. With more than 40 teams from all across the country in attendance at the event, there were plenty of outstanding performances on both sides of the ball. Here's a breakdown of the day's top defensive performances.

1 CB
Chauncey Gardner
Cocoa, Fla.

Recruiting wrap: Gardner is committed to Florida but open to taking other visits.

Performance: Gardner had two interceptions and was his normal, active self. Gardner has an incredibly thick build (5-11, 190) that includes no bad weight. He also breaks incredibly well on the ball. His size and speed make him a versatile defensive back capable of playing corner or safety when need be. Gardner was as consistent a prospect as there was at the event.

3 DB
Malcolm Askew (2017)
McCalla (Ala.) McAdory

Recruiting wrap: Askew nearly committed to Georgia recently. The Bulldogs lead, but Alabama and others are still in play.

Performance: Askew played both ways, but looked better on defense than he did offense. He covers well and is incredibly smooth in his backpedal. He covered a number of bigger wide receivers and showed some surprising physicality for a prospect that could stand to add some size to his 5-10, 176-pound frame.

5 LB
Will Ignont (2017)
New Market (Ala.) Buckhorn

Recruiting wrap: Ignont says he will visit Texas A&M in the near future. He also plans to visit Georgia on July 18. Auburn, Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Florida are the frontrunners to land his commitment.

Performance: Ignont looks wonderful in a uniform and boasts a college-ready body at 6-1, 241. His long arms allow him to cover extra ground. And while he isn't the quickest linebacker on the planet, he moves well laterally and can cover most players he'll line up against on Friday nights. Ignont shines brightest in actual football games, but was impressive in 7-on-7 work.

BRADENTON, Fla. -- Talent from all across the country took the field at IMG Academy for the second day of the annual IMG 7-on-7 national championship on Sunday.

Here's a breakdown of the day's top defensive performances.

1 DB
Chauncey Gardner
Cocoa, Fla.

Recruiting wrap: Gardner is committed to Florida.

Performance: Gardner is as physical a corner as there is in America. He's no slouch in coverage, either. He routinely jammed any number of receivers on Sunday and showed himself capable of taking away his side of the field. He had his lapses, sure, but they were brief. Gardner was impressive on both days of the event.

7 DB
LeAnthony Williams (2017)
Roswell, Ga.

Recruiting wrap: Williams is early on in his recruitment, but already boasts offers from Georgia, Alabama, Michigan and several other schools.

Performance: Williams continued his terrific month of June, helping lead his team to the championship game, just as he did at the Five-Star Challenge in Baltimore two weekends prior. Williams has terrific fundamentals and the technique of a much older player. With some more physical development still to come, he looks like a future national star at his position.

BRADENTON, Fla. -- Talent from all across the country took the field at IMG Academy for the final day of the annual IMG 7-on-7 National Championship on Sunday. Ultimately, Indiana-based team AWP came away with the crown, beating out Cam Newton's team from the Atlanta area for the national title. With more than 40 teams from all across the country in attendance at the event, there were plenty of outstanding performances. Here's a breakdown of the day's best on the offensive side of the ball.

5 WR
Cavin Ridley
Deerfield Beach, Fla.

Recruiting wrap: Ridley is thought to be leaning toward committing to Florida but Alabama and others remain involved to some extent.

Performance: Ridley has been in the weight room. The four-star wide receiver looked stronger than ever this weekend and was a bright spot for his team, which suffered some costly injuries. Ridley can get up to top speed in a hurry and has incredibly solid hands. He's as well-rounded as a receiver of his size (6-1, 190) can be.
