Scout (Free) - Recap: Best of the Midwest

Smith Does it All

We knew Fort Wayne Bishop Luers (Ind.) outside linebacker Jaylon Smith was good and athletic, but no one expected him to do what he did on Monday, not even Smith himself.

The 6'3, 220-lb Smith has been playing basketball, still training, but not as much as he would be if he were off the hardwood, but he showed up and ran the fastest time of the day, a 4.44. If anyone doubted that, Smith, rather than sit on that time, ran again and clocked a 4.46.

He looked fluid and explosive in linebacker drills, which allowed him to excel in 1-1 coverage against the running backs. Perhaps looking for a challenge, he moseyed over to the offensive line-defensive line 1-1s and exploded past would-be blockers with his quickness and athleticism. He came back over the skill side for 7 on 7 and promptly made a leaping interception. He was definitely the MVP of the event, and currently an early four-star, Smith made claim throughout the season and on Monday that even that lofty ranking may not be high enough.

Several OSU prospects & commits

Good looking camp...I love seeing our commits like Burrows, Marshall, Anzalone, Price, and Thompson going out and competing. I was a 4 sport athlete in HS, but I loved going to these combines and showing what I had when I could. Can't wait to see how Snodgrass performs as well.

Free Rivals - All eyes on QB at R100 Five-Star Challenge

The quarterback will be facing some tough competition in the secondary. The cornerback position is just as top-heavy with five-stars of its own in Kendall Fuller of Olney (Md.) Good Counsel and Cameron Burrows of Trotwood (Ohio) Trotwood-Madison.

"It's hard to single out any one position when it comes to the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge," Farrell said, "but when you have two five-stars at quarterback and at cornerback, you have to look at those two areas.

"At corner, Fuller is the best cornerback I've seen since Patrick Peterson, who was Patrick Johnson back in 2008. Burrows has great size and is a special prospect as well. Those two positions really stand out because you have four of our 11 five-stars in that group alone."

While Farrell has had numerous opportunities to see Fuller in action, the same goes for Rivals.com Midwest recruiting analyst Josh Helmholdt and Burrows.

"We often hear about wide receivers who cause match-up problems for cornerbacks, but Burrows is that rare cornerback who causes match-up problems for wide receivers," Helholdt said. "At 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds he has the ability to run with the fastest receivers in the game, and the fluidity needed to play the position. He is too big for wide receivers to be physical with at the line of scrimmage and too fast for speedy wide receivers to outrun."

I've already said it, but I LOVE how our verbals are still out competing after giving their commitment. The drive to prove your the best in the nation can't be understated (I'm sure Urban loves it too).
