ESPN 150 athlete Dravon Henry (Aliquippa, Pa./Aliquippa) listed his top four schools about two months ago with the understanding it would slow down his recruitment.

With the mailbox now stuffed with 50 letters by the middle of the week, it's safe to say the four-star athlete understood incorrectly.

BRADENTON, Fla. -- On the fields of the IMG Academy Southeast Regional 7-on-7 Tournament, George Campbell (Tarpon Springs, Fla./East Lake) stood off to the side with a sling hanging off his shoulder and covering his broken wrist.

That injury, suffered a few weeks back, will keep him out of East Lake's spring practices starting at the beginning of May. But fortunately for him, he's already got a ton of offers to begin with and won't be reliant on coaches coming by for the evaluation period.

That doesn't mean he isn't frustrated, though.

The RN Top 10 will appear throughout the camp and combine season and rank prospects based strictly on their on-field performance at that particular event. It does not reflect their overall prospect ranking.

ASHBURN, Va. – The East Coast and mid-Atlantic states represented well on Sunday as eight players earned invites to The Opening at the Nike Football Training Camp outside of Washington, D.C. Defense ruled the day, led by two five-star prospects from Virginia.

Scott stood out among a field of backs who were overshadowed by the prospects at nearly every other position. He earned the attention of coaches for his strong play and versatility but missed the MVP award, which went to Vincent Lowe (Chesapeake, Va./Grassfield), who also posted the top SPARQ score.

Scott committed to Penn State in February over an offer from Boston College.

ESPN national recruiting analyst Craig Haubert’s take: “He’s got a great frame, and what I like about him as a Penn State verbal, he’s a versatile player. He may not run by you, but he does a good job in route-running.”

When offer No. 31 came in for Washington (Pa.) running back Shai McKenzie last week, he figured it was time to start cutting his list. It sounds simple, but McKenzie had a harder time when it came to putting pen to paper.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- A lot of athletes don’t hit the public eye until they get onto a college campus and play on Saturdays. But for football players at high-profile programs throughout the country, that spotlight comes a bit early.

Watch List offensive guard Sam Mustipher (Olney, Md./Our Lady of Good Counsel) is in that position. He knows that anytime he wears a football shirt or his varsity jacket, he’s representing more than himself.

“Pretty much anywhere in Maryland,” Mustipher said, regarding where Good Counsel gets recognized. “It’s pretty cool and a humbling experience. With that, you know you have a spotlight on your back at all times. If I’m wearing something with Good Counsel on it, people are going to look to me to set the example.”

And considering his 20-plus offers from the likes of Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, Florida State and Notre Dame, coaches have noticed a lot more than a shirt. Recently, his game film has him being recognized further west at schools such as Oregon, USC and Stanford -- all of which he hopes to get offers from soon.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Watch List defensive end Lorenzo Featherston (Greensboro, N.C./Page) is a man of few words. He avoids limelight and attention. He doesn’t get in anyone’s face. He keeps to himself.

If he weren’t pushing 6-foot-8, he could probably slip through most days unnoticed.
