Top Performers: Big County Preps Xecutive Camp
Advertisement
Recruiting wrap: McKitty recently committed to Miami but will take other visits.
Performance: McKitty has nice size and impressive hands. On Sunday, he showed a burst of speed that allowed him to get separation from faster defenders. McKitty needs to add muscle in the next two years but his versatility and athleticism make him a tremendously interesting prospect that will likely develop into an even more well-rounded tight end down the road.

WR
Tampa (Fla.) Sickles
Recruiting wrap: Fullwood has a long list of offers that includes UCF and N.C. State.
Performance: Fullwood played both wide receiver and defensive back, making plays at both positions. He is being recruited mostly at wide receiver but some programs see him as a cornerback. As a receiver, Fullwood won't blow you away in any one area, but he's well-rounded and has incredibly sure hands. He's fast enough to keep pace with most wideouts while he's lined up at corner and transitions well out of his backpedal.

ATH
Tampa (Fla.) Catholic
Performance: Barrett was possibly the most consistently solid defensive back. He shined in coverage and looked solid in drills as well. He didn't give up many plays during the 7-on-7 portion of the event and made a few nice pass breakups that required him to recover and close in a hurry.
5
WR
Daquon Green (2017)
Tampa (Fla.) Tampa Bay Tech
Recruiting wrap: Green says Ohio State leads his recruitment, but Michigan, Florida and others are also involved. He hopes to announce his commitment before the start of the upcoming season.
Performance: Green is a versatile receiver that is devastatingly sharp with his cuts and remarkably smooth out of his breaks. His change of pace creates separation on a number of routes. And while he dropped at least a pair of passes on Sunday, he made up for any misstep with a handful of incredible deep plays. Green is 6-1, 186 and he has a nice vertical that allows him to play bigger than his size.
6
RB
Auburndale, Fla.
Recruiting wrap: Pierce is committed to Oregon State but has yet to see the school's campus in person.
Performance: Pierce was one of the day's nicest surprises, as he made a number of plays during one-on-one drills. He carried his momentum into the 7-on-7 portion of the day and flashed impressive acceleration to complement his nice size and sure hands. He never showed top-end speed at the event, but there was plenty to like about his game.
7
DL
Lutz, (Fla.) Steinbrenner
Recruiting wrap: Washington is awaiting his first offer.
Performance: A defensive tackle, what Washington lacks in length he makes up for in strength. He blew a number of offensive linemen off the line with an impressive punch, and he also showed some variety of pass-rush moves. He doesn't have a perfect body type by any stretch, but he is quick for his build and, at least on Sunday, the results were indisputable.
8
QB
Clearwater, Fla
Recruiting wrap: Bryant has yet to land his first scholarship offer
Performance: The camp's quarterback MVP, Bryant has good size and a live arm. On Sunday, he crammed the ball through tight windows and made his mark on the 7-on-7 portion of the event. He showed a knack for finding his second and third options in a hurry. His throwing motion isn't perfect. Nor is his footwork, but he has college-level upside and a big-enough arm.
9
OL
Seminole, Fla.
Recruiting wrap: Walton, who claims a number of offers, says Miami currently leads his recruitment.
Performance: Walton had his peaks and valleys, but the good far outweighed the bad. He had a tendency to hold on the rare occasions that he was defeated in a one-on-one rep, but he won most of his matchups cleanly. Walton has a nice build and long arms that allow him to use his initial punch to his advantage. He needs to polish his footwork if he hopes to play on the outside, but the the case could be made for him as a tackle or guard on the college level.
10
DB
Gibsonton (Fla.) East Bay
Recruiting wrap: Sails plans to visit Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa in mid-July and hopes to land an offer from the Wolverines in the near future. Iowa and Wisconsin have already made things official on that front.
Performance: Sails is incredibly smooth in his backpedal when he's asked to cover, and could play corner just as easily as safety at the next level. That said, he closes well and is being pursued most heavily as a safety. Sails stood out in one-on-one drills and was able to take away large chunks of space during 7-on-7.
11
RB
Duran Bell (2017)
Tampa (Fla.) Hillsborough
Recruiting wrap: Bell is awaiting his first major offer.
Performance: Bell was another nice surprise. He covered four-star tight end Tre McKitty well during one-on-one work and showed an ability to stay with bigger receivers on double moves. His coverage skills are beyond solid. And while his speed needs some work, he does a lot of things really well and showed an ability to stay with higher-rated prospects.
12
DL
Bradenton (Fla.) Manatee
Recruiting wrap: Jackson lists an offer from Tulane.
Performance: Jackson is quick off the line and won most of his one-on-one reps with a blazing first step. He has added some weight in recent months, but still needs to fill out and develop some different pass-rush moves. That said, he has the quickness and the frame to be successful.
13
QB
Holden Hotchkiss (2017)
Lakeland, Fla.
Recruiting wrap: Hotchkiss has yet to land a scholarship offer.
Performance: Hotchkiss was particularly sharp with the deep ball. He made some mistakes and was a bit inconsistent with his motion, but overall made a positive impact. Hotchkiss has a knack for putting touch on the deep ball and is effective when forced to check down. There's no doubt he could help some level of college program.
14
WR
Clearwater (Fla.) Countryside
Performance: Whetzel is long enough to provide a big target over the middle and did just that during 7-on-7 games. He was solid in drills and one-on-one work as well, but didn't make a massive impression until the games started. His long arms and sure hands made him an extremely reliable target for his 7-on-7 squad.
