PISCATAWAY, N.J. - About 600 prospects participated in the rain-soaked Rivals Combine Series on Saturday at Piscataway High School. Hundreds of others were also hoping to compete for their shot to come back on Sunday for the Rivals Camp but a long weather delay thinned out the crowd. Among the several invited back for Sunday's camp were these five prospects that stood out during the day:

Andrewson has an offer from Maine and is hearing from Boston College and James Madison. The 6-foot-4, 325-pound offensive lineman is also looking at visiting programs like Maryland and Penn State. The 2024 prospect showed solid burst during the shuttle runs on Saturday and it will be interesting to see him show off his strength in the camp tomorrow.

Measuring in at 6-foot-5 and 322 pounds, Efese is a mammoth of an offensive lineman with athleticism to boot. While only a sophomore, the Reading (Pa.) standout is already starting to receive interest from a host of Power Five programs. His showing at today’s combine has us excited about his future and he should prove to be a tough matchup for defensive lineman on Sunday.

Iowa State offered Ikinnagbon a couple of weeks ago after the Cyclones saw him work out. He wants to learn more about the program but is already fairly familiar with the coaching staff. The 2025 6-foot-5, 230-pound defensive end is looking at setting up visits to Penn State and Rutgers. Ikinnagbon has a chance to really see his stock rise this spring once more college coaches get a closer look at him.

Kaba is a big running back prospect but he could fit right in at linebacker. He has great measurables and coaches are really intrigued with his potential on both sides of the ball. Iowa State, Duke and Boston College have already offered Kaba. He's visited Rutgers, Penn State and Temple but is hoping to visit Duke in June.

Keshen proved to be one of the more physically and athletically gifted prospects on the day, and although he doesn't currently have offers, they could be coming in the very near future. Both Notre Dame and Rutgers have visited him at school and we are told college coaches find his film to be electric.
