4* DT Greg Emerson
Jackson (Tenn.) North Side defensive lineman Greg Emerson says Tennessee and Oregon are recruiting him the hardest although Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State and Georgia are still very much in the mix. It doesn't take many reps of the Scout trench talent to realize why so many are after his commitment. Emerson can beat blockers just about every way one could cook up a victory. He is big and strong with good balance and quickness laterally. He can use his hands or simply overwhelm an offensive line with his power.

4* CB Jaycee Horn
With his father and former NFL standout Joe Horn watching, newly-minted Scout four-star Jaycee Horn must have made him proud with the way he handled himself both on the field during play and in between plays when he let his opponent know of the success he was having. A long and lean cornerback out of Alpharetta (Ga.), Horn showcased the ability to get his hands on the wide receiver and make plays on the football while maintaining his leverage just about every time he was out there. The rising senior, who holds more than 30 scholarship offers, was also impressive in his endurance, making plays on the football deep into the event when many of his counterparts elected to take the rest of the day off.

3* LB La'Dedric Jackson
Emerging on the recruiting trail, Montgomery (Ala.) Lanier linebacker La'Dedric Jackson gave onlookers a few examples why on Sunday. The three-star was active in drills with minimal wasted movement but he really shined brightest during the competition phase of the event. Not only was the rising senior vocal on the field, but he backed it up with the most physical play of any defender on this day. Jackson, who has LSU on top at this time, got multiple running backs on the ground at the line of scrimmage and played the football after that point. When he was not playing bully on the field, he turned and ran well with those smaller and more cut out for playing in space than he.

4* DT Coynis Miller
After being slowed by a minor injury last weekend, Birmingham (Ala.) Jackson-Olin defensive tackle Coynis Miller made up for lost time Sunday. He is a shorter defensive tackle and uses that low center of gravity for great balance and quickness to defeat opponents with angles as much as he can with power or hand technique. It is like the top defensive tackle in Alabama, who will be tough to pull outside of state lines, was built to rush the passer from the interior. Miller is in no rush to make a verbal commitment.

4* S Quindarious Monday
Atlanta (Ga.) Carver defensive back Quindarious Monday was another safety type to have a big day in Atlanta. He is long and lean, able to impress with his physical nature, competitiveness and ball skills. He has the look of the quarterback of the defense and flashed those types of smart gambles in his pursuit of the football and how he reacted deep down the field. Monday, who recently told Scout Auburn sat ahead of Florida State, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Michigan and others, got his hands on the football aplenty during this day.

2019 LB King Mwikuta
The lone underclassman on this list, LaGrange (Ga.) Troup County edge defender King Mwikuta represented the class of 2019 well all afternoon long. The rising junior has elected to play linebacker over the last two weekends of competition and has made his fair share of plays despite being perhaps more comfortable as a defensive end. Recently telling Scout Alabama, Georgia and Clemson were recruiting him the hardest, Mwikuta's length and ability to redirect makes him among the top 2019 talents in the South. He finished his Sunday with a big interception during seven-on-seven competition.

4* CB Christopher Smith
For the second week in a row, four-star College Park (Ga.) Hapeville Charter cornerback Christopher Smith was very impressive. He was fluid in drills and took numerous reps in one-on-ones, successful in those battles well more times than not. He was physical and extremely aggressive. Smith also showed great concentration and ball skills. Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and South Carolina look to be the main contenders.

4* LB Channing Tindall
Fresh off receiving a fourth star, Columbia (S.C.) Sun Valley outside linebacker Channing Tindall did not disappoint. The 6-foot-2, 213-pound Tindall is complete linebacker. He was great in drills and also excelled dropping into coverage during the 7-on-7 portion of the camp. Tindall is undoubtedly one of the most athletic linebackers in the country and his stock will continue to rise over the next several months. LSU and Georgia are offers he is considering heavily while looking to visit Penn State and Notre Dame in the near future.

4* WR Marquez Ezzard
Four-star Stockbridge (Ga.) wide receiver Marquez Ezzard was a nightmare for defensive backs on Sunday. The 6-foot-1 ½, 213-pound Ezzard is one of the more powerful receivers in the country. His combination of great route running, strength and body control allowed him to make play after play. Auburn and Georgia appear to be in the best shape, while Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee are also in the mix.

4* QB Emory Jones
Ohio State quarterback commit Emory Jones showed why he is one of the top signal-callers in the 2018 class on Sunday. The 6-3, 195-pound Jones showed great arm strength and fit several passes into tight windows. The four-star Franklin (Ga.) Heard County standout also showed good touch and accuracy throwing the ball downfield. He remains firmly committed to Ohio State. However, he will continue to visit other schools, and Florida State will be his next stop. Jones stated Sunday that the Seminoles, Alabama and Florida are the only schools with a shot to flip him.

3* WR Dennis Smith
Gaffney (S.C.) wide receiver Dennis Smith was great from start to finish. The 6-2, 185-pound Smith was fluid drills and showed great overall technique. In the 7-on-7 part of the camp, his route running was sharp and he consistenly created separation from his opponent. Smith also showed good concentration and did a nice job of high-pointing the football. Clemson, Duke and Georgia are the schools to watch for Smith.

4* OG Trey Hill
Warner Robins (Ga.) Houston County offensive lineman Trey Hill continued his dominant spring on the camp circuit with perhaps his best performance Sunday. Scout saw him lose just one rep throughout the bevy of one-on-one competition against a solid defensive line group, so it was little surprise to see the big man snag the game invitation. Hill is so strong once he gets his hands on the opponent and he ended most reps shortly after doing so, including multiple occasions in which he placed the pass rusher on the ground. There was not a more physical presence on the field at Northview High School. Hill holds a who's who list of offers, including perceived favorite Georgia, but does not appear close to a decision.

4* OG James Ohanba
Ranked as a top five guard prospect nationally, Stockbridge (Ga.) Woodland offensive lineman James Ohonba looked like it again Sunday. He strikes you with his well-proportioned frame, but even more so when it is in motion against impeding pass rushers. He plays with heavy hands and can end reps very early in the process with his striking ability. Ohonba also moved a bit better than expected on this particular day, even winning reps with strong extension away from his body. Clemson, Michigan, Alabama and Georgia are in the best position for the Woodland standout.

3* RB Harold Joiner
For the second time in as many weeks, there was not a more intriguing pound-for-pound athlete than Mountain Brook (Ala.) standout Harold Joiner. Big and mobile at about 6-3, 215 pounds, he can do a bit of everything and plays much better in space than his size suggests. Joiner is quick in his cuts and can run routes as well as any running back in the region, with top-notch ball skills and hands to finish plays down the football field. With his size and skill set, it would not surprise to see the rising senior play all over an offense at the next level. LSU is in solid position for Joiner early on, but he is in no rush to make a decision.

3* Tae Provens
Gurley (Ala.) Madison County running back Tae Provens is another who makes the passing element of these camp settings seem like easy work despite his most familiar position. With speed to burn, he was again effective vertically against linebackers and safety defenders, but he also showcased the ability to make quick cuts and come up with catches underneath on a consistent basis. Provens, who has Auburn ahead of the pack early on, was tough to contain all afternoon.

NR WR Kwincy Hall
Washington (D.C.) St. John's College slot receiver Kwincy Hall is not well-known in recruiting circles, but he was uncoverable Sunday. He is only 5-6 and 166-pounds, but displayed elite quickness, ran crisp routes and caught everything thrown his way.

4* QB Bo Nix
Four-star Pinson (Ala.) Pinson Valley 2019 quarterback Bo Nix had another very impressive performance on Sunday. The 6-2, 194-pound Nix showed great poise and did a nice job reading coverages. His mechanics, footwork and accuracy are very advanced for a quarterback his age and with two full years of high school football left to play, he is only going to get better. The Auburn legacy holds an offer from Tigers, as well as Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia and Ohio State among others.

4* OG Clay Webb
Oxford (Ala.) standout Clay Webb is another Alabamian having a dominant 2017 to this point and he gets some more hardware for his effort. The four-star anchors as well as any interior linemen in the region and seems immovable if he gets his hands on defenders early in their pass rush. Webb also has above-average feet and can flex his leverage laterally when lining up at different positions. In-state Alabama and Auburn will be tough to ignore in the end, he told Scout Sunday.
