It's incredibly challenging to stand out among a group of high school football stars, but that's what it takes to become an elite college recruit and, ultimately, an impact player at the next level.
A summer filled with competitive, talent-laden showcases has seeped into a fresh season, shining the spotlight on seniors who make up the 2016 class. We witnessed some incredible efforts from several of these prospects in past months, validating hype created by impressive junior campaigns.
The athleticism in some instances can appropriately be termed "freakish," resulting in highlights that turn heads across the field. Here's a peek at eight top performers who make the difficult plays look easy and wow onlookers with sheer athletic prowess.

4-star CB Nigel Knott
High School: Germantown (Madison, Mississippi)
Size: 5'11", 175 lbs.
247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 5 cornerback; No. 44 overall
When he's not doing back-flip football catches off of building walls, you can find Nigel Knott shutting down his size of the field with incredible range. His ability to dominate in multiple phases of the defense was on full display in 2014, when he tallied 112 tackles and 16 pass breakups.
Knott led all competitors with a 40-yard dash time of 4.30 seconds this summer at The Opening, showing off the quickness that enabled him to average 27 yards per return on four interceptions last season. He is set to announce his college intentions Sept. 23, with Oregon, Ole Miss, LSU and Alabama among programs under consideration.
