Live Updates from Under Armour All-America Bowl Practice

7:26 p.m. ET: Alabama 5-star CB signee Jaylen Mbakwe edges out Alabama Five-Star Plus+ WR commit Ryan Williams for fastest man. Mbakwe ran a 4.48 on the grass surface. – Charles Power

7:14 p.m. ET: Finally got some O vs. D last 10 minutes of practice. A lot of short/intermediate routes in the passing game. Auburn five-star WR signee Perry Thompson looked physical and strong at the catch point. South Carolina Five-Star Plus+ EDGE signee Dylan Stewart looked very comfortable coming off the edge as a pass rusher and run supporter. – Cody Bellaire

7:13 p.m. ET: We also saw Auburn five-star WR signee Perry Thompson finish through contact with a nice catch over the middle. Thompson is physically imposing with strong hands. – Charles Power

7:11 p.m. ET: Tennessee four-star EDGE signee Jordan Ross and South Carolina Five-Star Plus+ EDGE signee Dylan Stewart both made plays behind the line in a brief 11-on-11 period for Team Fire. Both have been impressive tonight, showing burst off the edge. – Charles Power

7:04 p.m. ET: Four prospects are taking place in the ‘fastest man’ competition: Alabama signee Jaylen Mbakwe, Alabama commit Ryan Williams, Auburn signee Cam Coleman and NC State signee Jonathan Paylor.

7:01 p.m. ET: Mississippi State four-star QB signee Michael Van Buren has been very accurate throwing on air during install. Good touch and fires it into tight windows. Some good touch throws by the red zone as well. – Sam Spiegelman

7:00 p.m. ET: South Carolina WR signee Debron Gatling has made a few effortless catches. Making it look easy. – Kyle Kelly

6:51 p.m. ET: The DL and WR groups are standing out for me on Day 1. Some very impressive-looking prospects that make moving around in space look natural and easy. – Cody Bellaire

6:41 p.m. ET: Oregon four-star WR signee Ryan Pellum is working out of the slot and has made several nice grabs. Pellum showcases his shiftiness and speed. – Kyle Kelly

6:40 p.m. ET: Teams are going through install, which is at half speed — if that. Like last year, this practice seems to be slow-paced without a ton of action thus far. – Charles Power

6:38 p.m. ET: Clemson five-star WR signee Bryant Wesco has had a mixture of a few drops and nice catches. He’s trying to get in a rhythm. – Kyle Kelly

6:34 p.m. ET: Florida Five-Star Plus+ QB signee DJ Lagway finding a rhythm and looking sharp throwing deep and on in-breaking routes. Auburn Five-Star Plus+ WR signee Cam Coleman making great catches away from the body and attacking the ball. Tennessee five-star WR signee Mike Matthews also moves well downfield and has strong hands. Oregon four-star WR signee Jeremiah McClellan is also impressive getting downfield and making plays on the ball in the middle of the field. – Sam Spiegelman

6:29 p.m. ET: Texas Tech four-star OT signee Ellis Davis is very light on his feet and looks to be the easiest mover on the Team Ice OL. – Charles Power

6:26 p.m. ET: Auburn five-star WR signee Perry Thompson has made a few nice grabs. Showcasing his large catch radius. – Kyle Kelly

6:21 p.m. ET: Like the fluidity and ankle flexion in Tennessee four-star EDGE signee Jordan Ross’ movements. – Charles Power

6:20 p.m. ET: Going through drills, Ohio State five-star WR signee Mylan Graham and Miami four-star WR signee Joshisa Trader are showing soft hands and good catching technique. – Charles Power

6:19 p.m. ET: Quarterbacks and wide receivers going through initial throwing sessions. Early trouble with throws off the mark and some dropped passes. Players are just getting settled in, though. – Kyle Kelly

6:06 p.m. ET: Texas A&M five-star athlete commit Terry Bussey appears to be playing offense here as he is wearing a white uniform — meant to specify offensive players. Bussey has played all over the field in high school but likely projects as a defensive back long-term. – Charles Power

5:56 p.m. ET: Notable eye-catchers during warm-ups include Mizzou signee Williams Nwaneri, Oklahoma signee David Stone, Florida signee DJ Lagway, Texas A&M commit Dominick McKinley, Oregon signee Jac’Qawn McRoy, South Carolina signee Dylan Stewart and Maryland signee Ryan Howerton. Texas signee Zina Umeozulu is very long and a completely different body type than his brother, Neto, at UT. Same goes for Tennessee signee Jordan Ross. – Sam Spiegelman

5:45 p.m. ET: Georgia 4-star OT signee Michael Uini towers over the other offensive linemen on Team Ice. He looks to be all of 6-foot-6 plus and around 330-340 pounds, carrying the weight well. – Charles Power

5:35 p.m. ET: Five-Star Plus+ Texas EDGE signee Colin Simmons isn’t dressed, out today and has his ankle wrapped. – Charles Power

5:34 p.m. ET: In addition to the ones listed above — Auburn Five-Star Plus+ WR signee Cam Coleman, five-star WR signee Perry Thompson, Tennessee four-star EDGE signee Jordan Ross, Ohio State five-star WR signee Mylan Graham and Texas Tech four-star OT signee Ellis Davis are others who looked impressive off of the bus. – Charles Power

5:30 p.m. ET: Best looking group off the bus for me: South Carolina Five-Star Plus+ EDGE signee Dylan Stewart, Missouri Five-Star Plus+ EDGE signee Williams Nwaneri and Tennessee four-star running back signee Peyton Lewis. – Cody Bellaire

5:15 p.m. ET: Players are beginning to take the field here Day 1 at the Under Armour All-America Game. Virginia Tech DL signee Emmett Laws is the first to show up. Corian Gipson, Clemson signee, is here but not participating. – On3 National Recruiting Analyst Sam Spiegelman
