Bo Nix, QB, Pinson Valley (Ala.): Deep throws, intermediate ones, short passes, throwing with his body or against, or on the move, Nix’s passes almost always end up being where they need to be. His accuracy set him apart Sunday.

Josh Vann, WR, Tucker (Ga.): Vann really is a receivers receiver. That is to say, it’s obvious he works hard on the craft — namely his routes, which are crisp and fluid. He always seems to be exactly in the right spot, which makes life easier on the quarterback.

Clay Webb, OG/C, Oxford (Ala.): Webb, a 2019 recruit, continues to flat-out dominate people during the camp circuit. He’s both fast and physical from the interior and uses his strength and leverage (he’s also a solid wrestler) to look into a defender. Combine that with high-level lateral movement and you get the complete package.

EYE-CATCHERS ON DEFENSE
quote:
Jordan Davis, DE, Memphis (Tenn.) Southwind: Davis earned an Under Armour All-America Game invitation with his play, which was, quite frankly, ridiculously good. Not only did the 6-feet-5, 238-pound Davis explode off the ball, but he used his hands well and had solid re-directs to make the opposition look a step slow.

quote:
Greg Emerson, DT, Jackson (Tenn.) North Side: Nobody was more effective on the interior than the 6-feet-3 296-pound Emerson. He blasted his way past offensive linemen with an explosive first step and strong hands, which he used to throw aside the opposition.

Jaycee Horn, CB, Alpharetta (Ga): The emerging 3-star recruit showed why he’s picking up offers from major programs almost daily. His speed, quickness and hips put him in the right spot a lot.

Richard Jibunor, LB/DE, Athens Christian: The 4-star recruit lined up at defensive end a week earlier, but on Sunday worked with the linebackers and at safety in one-on-ones, showing off his freaky athleticism. He has elite quickness off the ball.

Zakoby McClain, LB Valdosta (Ga.): There might not be a linebacker in the South who moves as well — and with as much ease — as McClain. That was evident in one-on-ones with the running backs, when he effortlessly stuck to them during their routes and made completing passes next to impossible.

Azeez Ojulari, DE, Marietta (Ga.): It’s not hard to see why his stock if rising fast; Ojulari has a lightning-quick first step and impressive change of direction.

Myles Sims, CB/S, Atlanta (Ga.) Westlake: Sims, a 4-star recruit and Michigan lean, ran hot and cold a week earlier at The Opening Atlanta Regional, but Sunday he was locked in. Aggressive and physical in coverage, he also utilized his great length to break up passes.

quote:
Chris Smith, CB, Hapeville (Ga.) Charter: Not the biggest corner, but has long arms, is fast, has great hips and tremendous focus. He’s alert and always seems to know where the ball is — and that allowed him to break up several passes.

AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn is on a hot streak when it comes to busy recruiting weekends.
The Tigers had plenty of information come out of the first scrimmage week (plus my trip to Atlanta for The Opening regional). This last weekend was more of the same with an impressive group of talent viewing the team’s second scrimmage, to go along with more information from the Under Armour All-America camp in Atlanta.
The past two-week stretch all sets up for another huge upcoming weekend with A-Day. Of note, however: Next Saturday is a big ACT date, so there will be guys who Auburn expected to be on campus for the spring game that might not be able to make it or will be late arrivals. For that reason, I’ll hold off on a visitors list until later in the week when it’s more set in stone.
Still, there were plenty of takeaways from the past weekend.

4-star WR Justyn Ross spoke with SEC Country for the second Saturday in a row. There isn’t much new there. National Signing Day is his rough estimate decision date. Auburn and Alabama seem like the front-runners, but he’s willing to visit outside the state when his mom returns. Ross said Alabama signee Markail Benton’s push will have a “little” influence on his final decision.

2019 targets Bo Nix, Pierce Quick and Clay Webb were invited to the Under Armour All-America Future 50 game. Nix, once again, looked like the best quarterback at the camp. Quick and Webb both made the Final 5 among offensive linemen. Quick and Webb are attached at the hip, and it appears likely to be an Auburn-Alabama battle for both. Package deal? Wouldn’t be surprising.

3-star DE Andres Fox continues to say he has no timeline for his decision. He has Auburn, LSU and Alabama as a top 3. An SEC Country source remains confident that Auburn might have the best chance at this time despite Fox growing up an Alabama fan.

That kid is all confused lol. A defensive player choosing Au over Bama and is suppose to be a Bama fan.

State of Alabama running backs Asa Martin, Harold Joiner and Tae Provens looked like the best running backs at the Atlanta camp

3* DE Jordan Davis (Alabama Commit)
An Alabama Crimson Tide verbal commitment since December, Jordan Davis was a constant on the edge for offensive linemen all day long. He beat some with speed and others with the ability to stick his foot in the dirt and come back underneath. The Memphis (Tenn.) Southwind star, who is still considering SEC programs despite his pledge to Nick Saban and company, won maybe the prettiest rep of any defender on the day with a strong spin move to come up underneath a blocker who over set on him in anticipation of his ability to speed rush. Upon receiving an invitation to the 2018 event, Davis elected to participate in the next Under Armour All-America Game.

4* CB Trey Dean
Trey Dean, a safety prospect out of Hampton (Ga.) Dutchtown High School, impressed from the outset of the event. He is impressive on the hoof (pictured above) and looked like a smaller defensive back in how he moved during drills. Dean carried it over on to both one-on-one and seven-on-seven competition to put together one of the day's strongest secondary performances. Georgia, Florida, Louisville and others in the SEC and ACC are contenders for Dean early on.
