ESPN - South Florida's finest players display at Nike Football Training Camp - Insider

The Nike Football Training Camp staged at the University of Miami's football facility drew 200-plus athletes Sunday from all parts of South Florida.

Lauderdale,Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas), Connor Vernon (Miami/Gulliver Prep), Ted Meline (West Lake, Fla.), Rod Smith (Miami/Archbishop Carroll), Stedman Bailey (Miramar, Fla.) and Eddie Coleman (Riverdale, Fla.) were all extremely consistent running routes and catching the football.

ESPN - QB Aaron Murray impresses at Nike Football Training Camp in Gainesville - Insider

Updated: April 14, 2008

Gainesville, Fla. -- It was a cold, rainy day in Gainesville on Sunday, but that did not stop more than 200 players from competing at the Nike Football Training Camp at the University of Florida. As the sun eventually shot through the sky toward the end of camp, so did the missiles launched by ESPN 150 Watch List quarterback Aaron Murray (Tampa, Fla./Plant), who was, hands down, the most impressive prospect of the day. Murray had some good competition; quarterback Eugene Smith (Miramar, Fla.) laced them up once again after competing at the Miami Nike camp the previous Sunday, as did Under Armour All-American running back Jaamal Berry (Miami/Palmetto). The day was damp and the weather may have deterred some elite prospects from attending (there were a few late scratches), but plenty of talented prospects from all over Florida and southern Georgia competed at a high level.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - Five-Star Academies produce plenty of highlights

Jeremy Crabtree
Rivals.com Football Recruiting

Now that the Rivals.com Five-Star Academy has made its final stop of the year, it's time to reflect back on some of the top talent that made this year's tour the best ever.

From the first-stop at SMU in early February all the way to the events in Virginia, Utah, Arizona and Memphis in April, more than 2,500 prospects from all over the nation attended the Rivals.com Five-Star Academy. This included many of the nation's top prospects.

Household names like Cierre Wood of Oxnard (Calif.) Santa Clara, Russell Shepard of Houston Cypress Ridge, Devon Kennard of Phoenix Desert Vista, Kevin Newsome of Chesapeake (Va.) Western Branch, Chris Davenport of Mansfield, La., and Craig Loston of Aldine (Texas) Eisenhower were all there.

Headliner: Justin Turner, S, Massillon (Ohio) Washington

Turner was definitely the headliner in an event that was loaded with talent. While other stud recruits like John Simon and Jack Mewhort were there, it was Turner that looked amazing in Akron. Turner measured in at 6-foot-2 and 186 pounds. Seeing how much he's grown physically made it clear that he's got the frame to be an elite prospect. Just a few weeks after the event he committed to Michigan.

Sleeper to emerge: Patrick Nicely, QB, Willoughby (Ohio) South

Nicely looked great on film, but seeing him in person reinforced that he's going to be one of Ohio's top recruits. Measuring in at 6-foot-4 and 209 pounds, Nicely looked great and drew rave reviews from Rivals.com recruiting analyst Barry Every.

Headliner: Chris Watt, OG, Ellyn (Ill.) Glenbard West

It's the year of the offensive lineman in Illinois, and the leader of the pack is Glen Ellyn (Ill.) Glenbard West four-star offensive guard Chris Watt. Watt looked amazing with a very solid 6-foot-3, 280-pound frame. His appearance at the event at Naperville North High School helped cement his spot as a Rivals100 prospect. He along with Leon Hill and Patrick Ward all looked great at the event as all three linemen are ranked as four-star players that made it to the event.

Headliner: Jordan Whiting, LB, Louisville (Ky.) Trinity

The event in Cincinnati featured four-star Rivals100 linebacker and Ohio State pledge Jordan Whiting. There had been some questions by people nationally how tall he was and how much he weighed, but he more than answered those questions measuring in at 6-foot and 230 pounds. "It's not always the size of the linebacker," Whiting said. "It's the size of the linebacker's heart. And I think I have a lot of heart and desire. I'm not going to let anybody outwork or outhustle me, because I know that you have to keep working hard to be the best."

Headliner: Frankie Telfort, LB, Miami (Fla.) Gulliver Prep

Top 100 prospect Frankie Telfort of Miami Gulliver Prep showed up and despite only measuring in at 5 feet 11 and 194 pounds, his film and then later stellar performance at the NIKE Camp helped cement his spot as a national recruit.

Headliners: Devon Kennard and Corey Adams

It doesn't get much bigger than five-star defensive end Devon Kennard. Kennard was one of the top players to attend the events all year long. He showed up at the Phoenix event at Chandler's Hamilton High School, measuring in at 6-foot-3 and 257 pounds. He along with Corey Adams, a four-star defensive tackle, were easily the headliners at the event. Kennard and Adams give Arizona a great one-two punch when it comes to national prospects, but the overall depth at the event was one of the best in the country.

Great job as always Josh. Don't forget to highlight '10 DB Christian Bryant though. A quick glance through and I found him in photo # 152, 153, 162, 335 (below).

Just wondering if there will be any first hand account to the Columbus NIKE camp today? Looks to be a pretty impressive list of players there.

Also, tomorrow in State College PA, will anybody have a first hand account of how things went there? Thanks.
