Recruiting wrap: LSU and Tennessee are among the schools to beat for the four-star prospect.
Performance: Most schools like Stevens as a defensive back, but he worked out at wide receiver and showed he has the skills to play either way at the next level if needed. He made one of the plays of the camp when he went up and snatched an underthrown ball from a defender. It was clear that he's on a different level than nearly every prospect he faced on Sunday.
3ATH
Rontavius Groves
Nashville (Tenn.) Pearl Cohn
Recruiting wrap: Tennessee and West Virginia are both heavily in the mix to land Groves.
Performance: Groves continued his excellent month of May with a strong showing on Sunday. He has shifted his focus solely to wide receiver and with some added weight to his frame, he's able to deal with jams and physical defensive backs much more successfully than last year at this time. Once he gets free off the line, Groves is tough to catch, using his impressive speed to get open deep downfield.
4RB
Chase Hayden
Germantown (Tenn.) St. George's (2017)
Recruiting wrap: Hayden has offers from Tennessee and Vanderbilt.
Performance: It was another impressive camp from the versatile Hayden, who is explosive with the ball in his hands. At 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, Hayden could play wide receiver or running back at the next level and with his ball skills it seems as if he would be an ideal fit as an X-factor in a spread attack.
5QB
Gavin Schoenwald
Brentwood (Tenn.) Academy (2018)
Recruiting wrap: Schoenwald is waiting on his first offer.
Performance: Schoenwald turned heads and drew rave reviews from wide receivers in attendance for his ability to throw a nice, catchable ball. At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds and just a rising sophomore, Schoenwald appears to have all the physical tools of a Power Five prospect. He showed good touch on balls downfield and an ability to add velocity when needed.
6WR
Joe Kimber
Knoxville (Tenn.) Fulton
Recruiting wrap: Kimber is waiting for his first offer.
Performance: An accomplished talent on the basketball court, Kimber also impressed while working out at wide receiver. The 6-foot-4 prospect has great size and his basketball instincts paid off when it came time to go up and snag passes. He has strong hands and his raw physical talent should catch the eye of coaches.
7WR
Devin Harper
Knoxville (Tenn.) Karns
Recruiting wrap: Karms has offers from FCS programs Chattanooga and Morehead State.
Performance: Harper caught everyone's eye when he ran one of the fastest 40 times of the event despite his size (6-foot-1, 207 pounds). During camp, he worked out at wide receiver and gave defensive backs problems with size and speed. He is still working on the fundamentals of being a full-time pass-catcher, but his raw ability makes him an intriguing prospect.
8QB
Ben Brooks
Nashville (Tenn.) Pope John Paul II (2017)
Recruiting wrap: Brooks is waiting on his first offer.
Performance: Brooks continues to develop as a passer and more importantly to colleges -- he's growing. Brooks looks to be taller than 6-foot now and has added weight. He was a favorite of several wide receivers for his ability to throw accurate, timely and catchable passes.
9WR
Gorel Soumare
Dandridge (Tenn.) Jefferson County
Recruiting wrap: Soumare has one offer, courtesy of FCS program Austin Peay.
Performance: Soumare impressed both on the hoof and during one-on-ones, and looked the part of an FBS talent during Sunday's event. At 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, he has impressive size. Once his route-running and fundamentals catch up with his raw talent, he could develop into quite the player.
10ATH
Muri Mustapha
Jacksonville (Fla.) Arlington Country Day
Recruiting wrap: Mustapha is waiting for his first offer.
Performance: Mustapha looks like quite the prospect, but as a recent convert from basketball to football, it's clear he's still in the early stages of his development. He worked out at wide receiver but might have a higher ceiling at tight end or outside linebacker. While he doesn't have any offers yet, it will likely be tough for schools to pass on a 6-foot-6 prospect with his type of athleticism.
