Under Armour: Five who could surprise
Advertisement
I've always been intrigued by Duvernay's speed, at least since he ran that sub-10.3 100 meters this past spring. I have a feeling that not only is he an amazing fit at Baylor, but he could be a guy that breaks out this week. He's just outside the national top 50 and if there is a knock against him it's that he has blended into a crowd against top, top competition in large groups. Will that happen in his last evaluation?

WR
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
I've always liked Ellis because he's sudden, cuts well and has very good hands and it's hard for me to explain why he didn't have many more offers. He has average size and it will be interesting to see if the elite cornerbacks can slow him off the line of scrimmage during the week. One receiver always comes into these things outside the Rivals100 and surprises and maybe Ellis is that guy this year.

CB
Charlotte (N.C.) Hough
Osborne is in the Rivals100 and ranked No. 7 at his position, but he doesn't get the attention or hype of some of the others, even guys ranked behind him. He just quietly goes about his business and uses his size, strength and instincts to succeed. Could be he the lockdown guy who has the best week of the corners? He has a chance.

LB
Havelock, N.C.
It's odd for me to put the former five star on this list honestly because part of me has already written off Joyner as a kid who might have peaked too early and can't get back to where he was. The talent is there of course, otherwise he wouldn't be a four star, but will he stay healthy and rebound from a disastrous off-season and season? If he returned to the form we saw as a junior, it would certainly be a huge surprise.
