Under Armour: All-Lobby team
Advertisement
Eichenburg hasn't totally filled out just yet, but he has long arms and a massive frame. The most striking things about the Notre Dame commit are his massive legs, which provide an incredibly solid base. There's no reason Eichenberg can't become a force as his body fills out and he leans to use his length to his advantage.
WR
Pembroke Pines (Fla.) Flanagan
Snelson makes this list because of the artwork on his arms. The four-star wide receiver's tattoo artist should be shouted out because of his work. Snelson boasts tattoo sleeves that are intricate, detailed and masterfully done. The Minnesota commit looks to have spent significant time (and money) in the chair. A lot of players in the game have ink, but none of it looks as good as the art on Sneleson.
DE
Vienna (Ga.) Dooly County
Clayton was a bit of an enigma until Monday. The defensive end plays his highs school football in Vienna, Ga., a town of just 4,011 residents. Clayton participates in few events and few reporters or coaches have even seen him in person. His debut in the public eye was a successful one, though, as his length and thickness impressed on registration day. Clayton could stand to add a touch of muscle, but his build is impressive nevertheless.
DE
Gardena (Calif.) Junipero Serra
Betiku arrived in Orlando with his hair dyed a shade of blonde that bordered on neon. His look was 1990's Denis Rodman adjacent, as his beard also had touches neon mixed in with his dark hair. A USC commit, Betiku has a nice build, but his hair grabbed as much attention as his 6-foot-4 frame.
WR
Crawfordville (Fla.) Wakulla
Gavin is down to Florida State and Alabama. He made a splash in the hotel lobby by showing up wearing Alabama sweat pants. A once-time Florida State commit, Gavin's length and size are impressive, sure, but his choice of outfit created more buzz than anything else. There's no telling how his clothing choice means, but it was certainly noted by all those in attendance.
DL
Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy
Manuel makes this list because he looked like his old self at registration. Manuel had added some bad weight early in the fall and it certainly impacted his performance. The four-star lineman arrived in Orlando looking lean. He says he dropped 20 pounds in the last month and created intrigue with his reshaped physique. Hopes are again high for Manuel's Under Armour All-America performance.
WR
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
A Maryland commit, Ellis showed up rocking wildly styled , bleached hair. The style made him stand out from the crowd if nothing else. It was near impossible to miss Ellis and his near-orange locks when he walked through the hotel lobby. Asked about the motivation behind the hairstyle, Ellis said he "wanted something different."
DB
Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy
Smith has the best frame of any linebacker at the event and carries no bad weight whatsoever. Smith has always had a imposing build, but he seems to have gotten even bigger since arriving at IMG Academy. The uncommitted Smith is as capable of stepping on the field as a freshman as any player in America.
DT
Paramus (N.J.) Paramus Catholic
Gary is the No. 1 prospect in the country for a number of reasons, and his 6-foot-5 frame is certainly a contributing factor. Build-wise, Gary is as college-ready as prospects come. Gary has impressive upper-body strength and incredibly broad shoulders. He stood out among other elite-level prospects while walking the hotel lobby.
