All-American Bowl Combine Top Performers
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The next wave of All-Americans made their way into the Alamodome for the annual All-American Bowl Combine on Friday, the day before the annual All-Star event.
Talent from all over the United State flooded to San Antonio to test, work out and compete at the Combine. On3 had boots on the ground for Friday. Here are the top performers led by MVP Loghan Thomas.
On3 MVP: EDGE Loghan Thomas
On300 EDGE Loghan Thomas is next up for Katy (Texas) Paetow, which just graduated two of the nation’s best defenders at their respective positions in David Hicks Jr. and Daymion Sanford. Thomas arrived in San Antonio at a swollen 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, and it showed with an explosive first step and consistent wins against an array of tackles in the Dome. Thomas was quick around the edge and also showed he could win going inside as well. Thomas clocked a 4.7-secnd 40 time and also registered a 42-inch vertical. He’s a superb athlete flying off the edge.
The top-20 EDGE in next year’s cycle seems poised for a breakout season and should draw the eyes of programs nationwide ahead of the season. Right now, SMU leads Texas Tech on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.
2. CB Ricky Knight III
Ricky Knight might’ve arrived in San Antonio as a bit of an unknown, but by day’s end the entire audience in the Alamodome was aware of the 2024 cornerback who nabbed six interceptions, including three witnessed by this analyst, as well as a few more pass breakups. Knight, who checks in at 6-foot and 170 pounds, was sticky in coverage and consistently made plays on the football. The Florida native is quick and covers a ton of ground on the back end of the secondary.
3. EDGE Justin Greene
Consensus top-60 EDGE Justin Greene was a force coming off the edge and was among the most intriguing players at a premium position in attendance. The Peach State blue-chipper is light on his feet and used his hands to keep opposing tackles uneasy, and his steps came off calculated and purposeful en route to the QB. Greene comes suited with an array of pass-rush techniques and effectively used a spin move to bounce off linemen for a strong outing. South Carolina leads early on the RPM.
4. CB Travaris Banks
On300 CB Travaris Banks was especially fluid in coverage and kept the clamps on receivers from the start of the second portion of Friday’s combine. The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Northridge defensive back lined up outside at corner and also worked inside; regardless, Banks went stride for stride with receivers and actively shut down action in his lane. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder moves effortlessly and has length to shadow receivers at a high rate. Alabama leads the way on the RPM for Banks.
5. OT Jonathan Daniels
Talented On3 top-50 junior OT Jonathan Daniels takes the lead amongst offensive linemen. The Pensacola (Fla.) Pine Forest tackle was superb battling different pass-rushers and anchored strong and was rarely rocked off of it. Daniels plays with a powerful foundation and is rock-steady when he’s set. The Consensus top-10 tackle handled stronger pass-rushers adeptly. USF leads Georgia on the RPM with several new contenders entering the mix.

6. ATH Jonah Williams (2025)
Like others at the Combine, Jonah Williams was not a household name at the start of Friday. By day’s end, the 2025 hybrid defender from Galveston (Texas) Ball. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder saw action at linebacker and safety and effectively made plays in coverage against an array of different pass-catchers. Williams is instinctive and also reactive, and managed an interception and several more pass deflections working in the middle of the field. He has size and is a playmaker that can fill in at multiple positions. He’s a stock-up candidate for the spring.
7. DL TJ Lindsey
TJ Lindsey made the trek from Bryant (Ark.) and provided a glimpse of the breakout season the top-30 junior defensive linemen had. Lindsey, who checked in at a massive 6-foot-5 and 250-pounds, was a terror off the edge and among the best defensive linemen in the Alamodome Friday. A tweener that can work from the 0-tech out to the 4, Lindsey possesses brute force and is deceptively nimble too. He was disruptive for 1-on-1s and should draw even more eyes with this movement at his size by the spring. The Irish lead heavily on the RPM.
8. WR Chanz Wiggins
Chanz Wiggins made a compelling case as one of the bigger-framed playmaking receivers at Friday’s Combine. The Consensus top-50 receiver in next year’s cycle from King George (Va.) High School possesses strong hands and is an exceptional athlete that came away with some of the top highlight-reel grabs on Friday as a whole. He boasts a ton of upside with size (6-foot-3, 190 pounds) and ball skills. Wiggins is the type of receiver that’s always open — even with a defensive back in his hip pocket. The in-state Cavaliers are early favorites for Wiggins on the RPM.
9. WR Andrew Marsh
The 2025 wide receiver from Katy (Texas) Jordan returned to Alamodome this January with a strong performance. Andrew Marsh, one of the Lone Star State’s best young receivers, was steady stretching the field and turned heads with his work underneath, too. Marsh stretched the field and made contested catches with hands in his face. He also ran crisp routes underneath, was explosive in and out of his breaks, separated effectively and was sure-handed throughout the event. LSU leads Oklahoma on the RPM for the Houston four-star WR early on.
10. TE Ivan Cerrean (Texas) Tech
Ivan Cerrean, an early Texas Tech commit out of West Texas, brings size and outstanding ball skills to the. Table at a 6-foot-3, 210-pound hybrid pass-catcher. Cerrean, who looks reps outside and also out of slot, is a massive target in the passing game with a vast catch radius and strong hats on the back end. Cerrean attacks the ball and can stretch the field, not to mention create mismatches on offense.
Additional notes
- Guy “Tre” Fernandez was among the most steady wide receivers on hand. The West Coast standout from West Hills (Calif.) native showcased some of the best hands, was exceptional coming away with contested grabs and was extremely effective reticulating in small spaces, in traffic in the middle of the field, and along the side. The 2024 wide receiver was polished and sure-handed, and played through contact a lot. Fernandez is a strong candidate to garner some college attention later on this spring.
- Jaylon Coleman, the electric scat-back from The Boot flashed speed and suddenness to attack downfield and make plays as a receiver out of the backfield. Jones is an explosive back from Houma (La.) Vanderbilt and looked the part in the Alamodome setting.
- 2026 Manvel QB Romin Seymour looks ready to suit up today with great size coming off his freshman seasn at Manvel (Texas) High. Seymour’s father played DL at Florida State, but the younger Seymour has poise, a big arm and exceptional athleticism at quarterback. He’ll garner lots of buzz once he settles in this spring.
- Coming off his freshman campaign for Destrehan (La.), 2026 WR Jabari Mack was outstanding in 1-on-1s as a big-play threat that can take the top off the defense and on jump-balls on the perimeter. Mack has notable straight-line speed and great hand-eye coordination, and is one of Louisiana’s top playmakers in the 2026 class.
- Put 2025 Atlanta (Ga.) Westlake WR Travis Smith on the radar after the sophmore had a huge performance with big grabs downfield in the Dome. Smith stretches the field at 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds with outstanding ball skills and coordination on the back end.
- 2025 Katy (Texas) Jordan WR Zecheriah Sample and Red Oak (Texas) WR Gracen Harris are two Lone Star State-based receivers that stood out. Sample clocked a 4.58 40 in the morning and was steady making plays underneath. Harris packs size and stretches the field, and has great coordination on top of it.
- 2025 CB Ivan Taylor, the son of former Steelers great Ike Taylor, checked in with a great frame for a sophmore that also impressed in coverage. Taylor kept receivers in front of him and was reactive in coverage. Alabama, Michigan and Florida have all offered.
- 2024 Tallahssee (Fla.) Lincoln OL Connor Gilbert turned some heads at left tackle during Friday’s second session. Gilbert packs an aggressive initial punch and achors well. The 6-fooot-6, 270-pounder also has a frame to work with.
- 2024 Clay Chalkville (Ala.) LB Roderick Ivy also shined at linebacker in coverage. Ivy was sticky in coverage against backs and came away with an interception during 1-on-1s. He can move well and stick in back’s back-pocket, and he’s a candidate to see some college attention this spring.
