RUNNING BACK MVP
2020 NR ATH Caziah Holmes
Listed in the Rivals.com database as an athlete, Holmes worked out as a running back on Sunday and didn’t waste time making an impression. He had several impressive runs during the “cat and mouse” drill, juking linebackers in space while also showing nice speed. Holmes comes from a powerhouse high school programs and already has offers from Miami and Maryland, so he could be on the verge a recruiting explosion as well.

DEFENSIVE BACK MVP
2020 NR CB Fred Davis
It was a tight race for the MVP award, with several impressive young defensive backs in the mix. But Davis’ combination of excellent drill work and performance in the one-on-one drills put him over the top. The Jacksonville native already boasts offers from Alabama, Florida, Nebraska and others and it’s easy to see why after another strong camp showing. Trinity Christian has a history of producing highly-ranked defensive backs and it appears as if Davis could be the next to come out of the program. In addition to winning MVP, Davis earned an invite the Five-Star Challenge.

DEFENSIVE LINE MVP
3* OLB Raymond Cutts
One of the surprises of the camp, Cutts arrived with offers from schools such as Cincinnati, FAU and Kentucky. The Orlando (Fla.) Jones star outperformed his current ranking on his way to defensive lien MVP honors and seemed to get better as the day pressed forward. Cutts could stand to add some size, but he comes with tremendous versatility and should see his list of college options grow this year.

LINEBACKER MVP
3* LB Rian Davis
Davis was one of the more physically imposing linebackers at the camp and backed up his appearance with his play. He stood out during the cat-and-mouse drill and showcased impressively quick feet and awareness. Davis’ build and athleticism have already led to 16 offers, but it seems as though there are many more to come. The Apopka (Fla.) Wekiva High School used Sunday to prove that his three-star ranking might be a bit low for a player with the type of potential he possesses.

ADDITIONAL FIVE-STAR INVITES
2020 WR Leonard Manuel
A Miami commit, Manuel played through an injured shoulder and showed well despite the pain. Manuel is clearly one of the top wide receivers in the class of 2020 and could serve as the cornerstone of Hurricanes’ class. Manuel has the talent to go up against any 2019 defensive back and will get the chance to prove it at this year’s Five-Star Challenge. Manuel will have plenty of coaches perusing him up until Signing Day 2020, so Miami will have to work to hold on to his pledge.

4* S Brendan Gant
Gant is one of the more spirited players in the country and doesn’t mind mixing it physically or verbally. The four-star defensive back is committed Alabama and has the size and physicality to shine in the SEC. Gant, who secured his five-star challenge invitation on Sunday, is likely to take multiple visits between now and Signing Day. He may well sign with Alabama, but Nick Saban will have to hold off Florida State, Miami and Florida to land the highly touted defensive back.

Cassidy's Takeaways: Stars shine at RCS Orlando (Rivals)
quote:
CELEBRATION, Fla. – Stop two of the 2018 Rivals 3 Stripe Camp Series presented by adidas took place in the Orlando area on Sunday, as nearly 200 college-bound prospects from Florida and beyond competed for awards, rankings and bragging rights. Dozens of players mad their respective marks on camp, but below are five of the major takeaways from the event.

LEONARD MANUEL IS AS COMPETITIVE AS HE IS TALENTED
Miami commit Leonard Manuel is one of the top wide receivers in the class of 2020. His talent is widely known, so it’s not as though he needed to play through a shoulder injury on Sunday. But after emailing the night before saying he’d show up to camp but not participate, his competitive nature took hold. Manuel arrived camp with the intention of just doing interviews, but ended up going through the full workout and making his presence known during one-on-one drills. Manuel’s toughness was rewarded with an invite to the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge, where he’ll be granted the opportunity to test himself against the best in 2019 and beyond.

SMALL WIDEOUTS SHINE
Tampa (Fla.) Jefferson High School wide receivers Joe Hodge and Ahmarean Brown, a pair of undersized prospects with impressive speed, both showed well on Sunday. Brown was one of the fastest players at the event and routinely created separation during one-on-one drills. Meanwhile, Hodge made the day’s most highlight-worthy play, when he snagged an underthrown ball over Alabama defensive back commit Brendan Gant. Both Hodge and Brown lack elite length but possesses Power Five athleticism and quickness. So while size will always hold them back a bit, there’s no reason they can’t help any number of major conference programs.
Both Hodge & Brown play at HS we signed NCM & Devan Barrett out of & where Jeris McIntyre coaches

LAKELAND LINEMEN MAKE STATEMENT
Tre Huntley and Latrell Jean turned in standout performances, with Jean nearly winning MVP honors before being narrowly bested late in the camp. Jean, who already holds offers from programs such as South Carolina, Kentucky and Temple, should see his recruitment continue to expand in the year ahead. Huntley, who won more reps than he lost on Sunday, holds offers from Tulane and Syracuse. Both prospects should have plenty of options before they start their senior seasons at Lakeland High School. Both seems a bit under-recruited.

JACKSONVILLE DUO MAKES GOOD
There’s no shortage of young defensive backs in the Jacksonville area, and a pair of them went head-to-head for MVP honors with each other. Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity Christian defensive back Fred Davis edged out his high school teammate, Miles Brooks, to take home the trophy, but both made their individual marks on the camp. Davis and Brooks are names to know in the class of 2020. Brooks has been offered by Florida, South Carolina, Nebraska and others. Davis hold offers from nearly every major college program in the country.
I expect both to be AU targets in 2020

OUT OF STATE SURPRISES
In a camp stocked with Florida talent, two out-of-state prospects left the camp with MVP trophies. Tight end Simon Dellinger made the trip from Indiana and earned an invitation to the event through Saturday’s Rivals Adizero Combine. Dellinger was as a consistent a target as there was at the event. Nigerian import Chris Akporoghene, who recently moved to Florida from Tennessee, won the day’s offensive line MVP award.

4* CB Devin Bush out of LA told FSU 247 that it's an even race between AU, FSU, LSU, UGA, UF, TEN and OK. LSU is thought to be the major favorite but good to see we still being listed in top group. Need to get him on campus

High possibility that former Mizzou DL whisperer Craig Kuligowski will go to Alabama per Feldman. That sucks

There was a rumor that he was considering going to be DL coach for the TB Bucs, but passed on the offer to stay at Miami. I wonder if he does stick at UM or goes to Bama.
EDIT: welp, nevermind...apparently he DID take the Bama job. Hell of a hire by them.

He's a bad recruiter but an elite developer of talent. Honestly a great hire for Bama. They've had some DT recruiting struggles in recent years so he won't necessarily fix that but he will take all that blue chip talent they have now & make it more monstrous which is terrifying....
But maybe that means we win a recruiting battle for someone like DJ Dale
