Adams was one of the more physically imposing prospects to workout. His recruitment is gaining some momentum but Troy already has a strong foothold. Adams visited the campus recently and has developed a close relationship with the program's coaching staff. Chattanooga, Charlotte, Jacksonville State and South Florida have also offered and Adams is looking at visiting Charlotte and Chattanooga in the next few months.

Brock's frame first drew eyes during warm-ups and he continued to draw praise from coaches throughout the testing gauntlet. The North Gwinnett (Ga.) standout has an offer from Vanderbilt, recently visited Georgia Southern and should receive increased attention during the upcoming Spring Evaluation Period. Brock's performance during the combine portion has us excited to see him go up against the best of the best tomorrow.

The Ghana native moved to the United States in 2016 and it has been full steam ahead on the football field ever since. Sakyi-Ptah may be new to the sport, but his incredible upside is evident and was put on full display during Saturday's Combine. Indiana and Tulane have already offered with Duke showing heavy interest. Sakyi-Ptah has the skill-set to do some serious damage during Sunday's 1-on-1s.

Birmingham (Ala.) Briarwood Christian was in the spotlight last recruiting cycle because of eventual Clemson quarterback signee Christopher Vizzina but Schultz is a serious prospect as well. The 6-foot-5, 280-pound offensive tackle holds offers from Marshall, Samford, UAB, and Jacksonville State. Schultz has already visited Kentucky, West Virginia, UAB, Auburn and Arkansas but more are in the works. West Virginia, UAB and Kentucky maintain the most contact with him at this point.

Thurmon has been a steady riser this offseason and now has offers from Florida, Wake Forest, Duke and UCF, among others. He posted impressive short shuttle times (twice in the low 4.5-second range) for a player who measured in at 6-foot-3, 270-pounds. Thurmon recently visited Wake Forest and UCF. The coaches at Wake Forest made a strong impression on him and the education offered at Wake Forest was intriguing. Thurmon is planning on visiting Duke, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia Southern and Troy later this offseason.
