Five-Star Challenge: Ranking the Mid-South
Advertisement
Little entered the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge with a target on his back. He was the nation's No. 1 offensive tackle and No. 1 overall offensive lineman, and many prospects wanted to prove their worth against his talents. He did not back down from a challenge and he showed the ability which puts him at the top of the 2016 offensive line group. He was technically sound, quick off the ball, and he showed toughness as he fought through a hand injury. He took care of business from beginning to end and took home the offensive line MVP award.

CB
Sachse (Tex.)
Mayden was solid from the start but he really showed grit in the 7-on-7 competition on Saturday evening. Team Stealth had a tough night, but Mayden was there working to the end, recording several pass break-ups. Mayden likes to get physical with receivers at the line of scrimmage, but he also showed a great burst out of his break and the ability to make a quick play for the ball.

ATH
Jeffrey Okudah (2017)
South Grand Prairie
Okudah was slowed by a minor injury during the 7-on-7 session, but his work from the morning one-on-one session was definitely memorable. His jam at the line of scrimmage can be devastating, but he also has the ability to keep up in man-to-man coverage. He is definitely on the big side for a defensive back, but he showed he could more than handle the responsibilities of the safety position.

OLB
Marrero (La.) John Ehret
Divinity has gained a reputation as one of the better linebackers in coverage because he comes to camps and dominates in one-on-one competition. He had the play of the morning as he went high for a one-handed interception along the sidelines. During the 7-on-7 portion of the competition he did his best but it was a tough night for his 7-on-7 squad, Team Stealth.

DT
Killeen (Tex.) Shoemaker
Jones is one of the more unique prospects in the country. His size is intimidating and his strength is absurd. He is not going to be the quickest off the ball and one-on-one pass rush drills are not necessarily his strong suit. However, he did use a nice outside rip move and he showed exactly what has college coaches fighting fiercely to have him in the middle of their defenses despite his commitment to Alabama. Look for Jones to take on multiple blockers and continue to collapse the pocket in the middle.

DQB
Chris Robison (2017)
Mesquite (Tex.) Horn
Simply stated, Robison put wins on the table. He led his squad to the 7-on-7 title with consistency and accuracy. He was able to hit his receivers in stride and give them a chance to make a play after the catch. He also showed off his athleticism as he rolled out and found receivers deep down the field. His ability to make quick reads and hit his receivers with accuracy set him apart from most of the other quarterbacks in attendance.
8
DQB
Shawn Robinson (2017)
Denton (Tex.) Guyer
Overall there were some pluses and minuses for Robinson. His accuracy was a bit off during the morning one-on-one session and he seemed to be throwing about a step behind his intended target. However, when he was on he threw one of the best balls at the camp. He kept a tight spiral and his throws whipped through the air at M&T Bank Stadium.
