01/11/2025 02:09:45 PM“As All-American Bowl week wraps up, I thought Florida-bound CB Ben Hanks Jr. was one of the more dominant players regardless of position. Lockdown in coverage, he was rarely challenged. Does his job play in and play out.” — Steve Wiltfong
“Ben Hanks with excellent coverage on Andrew Marsh down the sideline. Incomplete and a punt incoming from Team West.” — Cody Bellaire
“South Carolina commit J’Zavien Currence has been my favorite 2026 this week. A specimen of a DB he made a ton of plays in practice including a pick-six on Wednesday. He’s flying around in this game too. Shane Beamer and his staff are trying to take the Gamecocks up another level and Currence was a huge recruiting win to help them get there down the road.” — Steve Wiltfong

Team East starts on its own 22-yard line
01/11/2025 12:55:47 PM“Watching Will Black move, easy to see why Charles and Cody have him the No. 2 ranked prospect in the country. Unique feet and explosiveness for an offensive tackle, he’ll come right in and push a Notre Dame offensive line room that on paper will be the best in the country coming into next season. ND has a standard at the point of attack and Black is the next special one. The Irish crushed it this cycle at OL, LB and in the secondary which are already team strengths as they head into the title game against Ohio State.” — Steve Wiltfong

“Navy signee Garrison Dibble beats 2026 OT Gabriel Osenda for the sack on Memphis signee Antwann Hill.” — Charles Power
“Nathaniel Marshall flipped back to Michigan from Auburn right before the Early Signing Period. That TFL there shows why he was so coveted.
