Rivals 3 Stripe Camp Dallas: Five prospects to watch
A little bit of weather isn’t going to stop the upcoming Rivals 3 Stripe Camp presented by adidas in Dallas. The event has been moved indoors at Lancaster High School due to lightning concerns, but there will be plenty of athletes on display showcasing their talents. Here is a look at five of the top prospects expected to perform Sunday.

Eagles is perhaps the most physically impressive wide receiver in the 2018 class and shows continued improvement at every event he’s seen in. Although speed isn’t his calling card, he’s a powerful runner and has a tremendous ability for winning balls put high in the air. Eagles is one of the highest-ranked four-stars in the Rivals100 and will look to be raising his stock yet again. He released his top 10 in February and is continuing to make visits this summer.
Wright hasn’t been seen at a Rivals event in a while and is making the trip after finding time between a busy baseball schedule. He’s expected to be among the top defensive line prospects in attendance and is a powerful player as a defensive end that could slide inside if needed. Many expect him to be a Texas A&M lean, but he hasn’t made too many comments on record as to how close he is on making any big decisions.
Simpson has shown up at other events this spring bigger and meaner than a year ago. His physical strength is undeniable and he’s a top-125 player nationally with even more upside heading into his senior season. As far as offensive line prospects expected to be at Sunday’s camp are concerned, Simpson could be the most college-ready. Following a recent visit to LSU, he said the Tigers were a top team in his recruitment, but he has yet to formally announce a list of finalists.
After attending Rivals Camp Series Dallas last year, Proctor earned an invitation to the Underclassmen Challenge in Atlanta. He has a lot of experience in these settings and his size and range are always impressive. Proctor has been hanging around just outside the top 100 since the first rankings of the 2018 class, and we will want to see him take that next step in his game to crack that tier. He holds offers from around the country and remains wide open.
Curry has been a familiar name in Texas recruiting since the spring following his freshman season. He’s a receiver in a similar mold to Eagles in that he’s a big and physical player that isn’t going to be outmatched by many players smaller than him. Curry is one of the first players to be ranked in the 2019 class and is part of a very talented group of junior receivers in Texas. He’s well beyond the double-digit offer threshold and should continue to see more offers come his way through the summer.
