Recruiting wrap: Browning has been visited by numerous schools this spring, but recently visited Ohio State and is tentatively scheduled to visit Notre Dame later this month.

Performance: As dominant as a linebacker could hope to be in a camp setting, Browning was special while covering running backs and slot receivers. He came away with several interceptions and wowed with his ability to make some acrobatic plays to defend passes. Browning was a quick study with the coaches and easily made an impression as a very complete football player.

Recruiting wrap: A recent offer from Stanford is likely to have an impact on Britt's recruitment. Stanford and Auburn seem like the two most likely landing spots for Britt, who does not lack for college options.

Performance: Britt has an impressive frame and made a name for himself this offseason. He had a wildly successful camp circuit and shined brightly at the Rivals Camp Series in New Orleans. He was the most impressive linebacker in drills and was impressive in one-on-one coverage. There's a reason he left the event with the linebacker MVP trophy.

Recruiting wrap: Taylor has SEC options at Alabama and Georgia, but is also interested in Big 12 programs Oklahoma State and Texas.

Performance: Taylor was one of the top performers at the Rivals Camp Series in Atlanta, putting his 6-foot-11 wingspan to use while covering both tight ends and running backs in space. He's a versatile playmaker on Friday nights and his athleticism also helps him cover a lot of ground for a player his size.

Recruiting wrap: Phillips is considering Alabama, Ole Miss, Kentucky and several other programs.

Performance: Phillips battled below-freezing temperatures to star at the Rivals Camp Series in Columbus, taking rep after rep and winning more than his fair share. His competitive nature combined with his size make Phillips a favorite of coaches. While he will likely play inside at the next level, he's very good at running in space.

Recruiting wrap: Moultry recently committed to Auburn.

Performance: The MVP of the Rivals Camp Series in Atlanta, Moutry made his mark in one-on-one work. He showed the quickness of a safety to go along with his thick linebacker's build. Moultry turned heads with a couple of interceptions and some impressive pass break ups. He'll become a more complete prospect as he adds size.
