Top Performers from Under Armour All-America Week

ORLANDO, Fla. – Sunday saw nearly 100 of the nation’s top prospects play in the nationally-televised Under Armour All-America Game at Camping World Stadium. The game was the culmination of a week of action which included four practices.

On3 was on hand all week to take in the action. Here are our top performers from the week, which combines what we saw in the practices and in Sunday’s game.

Top Performers Day 1 | Top Performers Day 2 | Top Performers Day 3

On3 MVP: IOL Tyler Booker – Alabama

Tyler Booker was the top offensive lineman throughout out the week of practices and was dominant during the game. Booker worked at both tackle spots and guard for Team Icons throughout the week and mainly played at left guard during the game. The 6-foot-5, 325-pounder showed a very well-rounded skill-set. Booker is both highly technical and strong at the point of attack. He showed the ability to quickly neutralize opposing defensive linemen’s hands with deft technique. In the game, he was a mauling presence as a run blocker. We saw Booker pancake current On3 Consensus five-star Travis Shaw in the first quarter. The only in-game blemish for Booker came when he gave up a sack to Missouri signee Marquis Gracial in the second quarter. We also saw Booker lock horns with Walter Nolen inside towards the end of the game. Booker looks like the most ready to play offensive linemen we saw throughout the week. Booker is a high-floor, strong, long lineman who plays with outstanding smarts. – Charles Power

2. DL Walter Nolen – Texas A&M

Walter Nolen was the most disruptive force on the defensive line for either team throughout the practices. And it carried over to the game. The Texas A&M signee’s initial quickness and ability to convert speed to power stand out in the practice and game setting. His ability to play the run equally as well as rush the passer from the interior makes him a truly elite prospect. He won reps in practice and the game setting with quick hands and feet, explosiveness out of his athletic stance, and a powerful long arm. Nolen will enter the college ranks as more than a bull rusher from the interior. His ability to kick out to end at times adds to his upside and scheme versatility long term. The Five-Star Plus+ prospect looks to be in good shape. He’s trimmed down from the summer dropping more than 20-pounds after weighing 351 at one point. – Gerry Hamilton

3. WR Luther Burden – Missouri

Luther Burden approached the week with a business-like mindset. The Missouri signee was consistent on a daily basis, showing the ability to get open at all three levels. In the game, Burden showed his high-end ability after catch, scoring on a 65-yard catch and run on the first play from scrimmage. He also had a long punt return in the fourth quarter. Burden’s ability to read the leverage of defenders and work in the open field may be his best trait. He may not be the fastest or biggest wide receiver, but Burden has a well-rounded skill set and projects as an instant impact player at the college level. – Charles Power

4. Edge Jihaad Campbell – Alabama

Jihaad Campbell showed off legitimate positional versatility, working at both linebacker and EDGE at times in practice. The Alabama signee was among the more physically-impressive prospects in attendance and was the best linebacker throughout practice, in our opinion. Campbell looks to be a legitimate 6-foot-3.5 and has the athleticism and fluidity to play in space. He flipped over to EDGE during 1-on-1’s in practice and looked very good there as well. We saw the New Jersey native was one of Team Icons’ most active players in the game and had a nice open field tackle in the first half. Campbell looked like one of the better defensive prospects nationally over the course of the week. – Charles Power

5. CB Will Johnson – Michigan

Will Johnson‘s impressive week of practice carried over to the game Sunday. We thought he was the best corner for Team Legends throughout practice. Not only does he possesses tremendous size at corner, but his ability to break on the ball is top shelf. When the opportunities are presented, he displays natural plucker ball skills on defense. The Michigan signee flashed the ability to play press or off coverage with equal success this week. He stayed attached at all three levels and used his combination of length and leverage understanding to get off blocks in the run game. Position versatility is another strength of the On3 Consensus 4-star. He could play anywhere in the secondary, especially early on to get on the field quickest. – Gerry Hamilton

6. WR Evan Stewart – Texas A&M

Evan Stewart entered the week as the No. 1 wide receiver in the cycle and looked the part. He was the toughest cover among a loaded receiver group all week at practice. The 5-foot-11, 170-pounder uses his outstanding initial and releases off the line to create immediate separation. Stewart also has some of the best long speed in the cycle, which he used to pull away from almost every defensive back he went against throughout the week. Stewart had a relatively quiet game with two drops including one that was looking into the sun. With that said, he still got behind the Team Legends secondary on several occasions. Stewart may have had a few touchdowns had the Team Icons quarterbacks hit him in stride. The Texas A&M signee has the best combination of explosive athleticism and technical receiver skills in what is a loaded cycle at the position. – Charles Power

7. DL Shemar Stewart – Unsigned

Shemar Stewart was the top defensive lineman for Team Icons over the course of the week. The 6-foot-5, 270-pounder has a strong combination of size, power and explosive movement skills. Stewart was able to convert speed to power as a pass rusher off the edge. We saw him make a handful of flash plays in the game, as well. Stewart set the edge on a run stuff and showed off some impressive athleticism in tracking down a running back from the back side. Miami, Texas A&M and Georgia are in the mix for On3 Consensus five-star’s signature. – Charles Power

8. WR Chris Marshall

Chris Marshall stood out all week in a game loaded with high-end talent at the receiver position. The On3 Consensus 4-star prospect routinely beat opponents in the practice setting with arms-extended snatches out of the air. His catch radius is among the best in the 2022 cycle. He was among the few Team Icons receiver to beat a double team for a 50-50 high-point ball in practice. His terrific week carried over to the game Sunday with quick movement skills off the line. He showed the ability to track an over the shoulder ball looking back into the sun, snatched the ball in the screen game and worked up the field vertically taking on contact. His basketball background creates an understanding in shielding a defenders from the ball. He just needs to add strength and consistency to finish more contested catches in traffic in the intermediate game. – Gerry Hamilton

9. CB Jeadyn Lukus – Clemson

Jeadyn Lukus‘ solid week of practice culminated with a terrific performance in the game. His ability to quickly and fluidly change direction and react to the ball out of breaks is high-end. The ability to smoothly transition without wasted motion was apparent in practice, and the game. He has a feel for staying attached, and finding the ball in the air, and is thus able to play on an island. Lukus also gets his hands in position to finish plays with interceptions with the ability to contort his body. The future Clemson Tiger produced one of the most acrobatic interceptions in the history of the Under Armour All-America Game Sunday, laying out for an incredible high-point grab. – Gerry Hamilton

10. WR Antonio Williams – Clemson

Antonio Williams was the top route-runner throughout practice. The Clemson signee was a very tough cover for Team Legends corners throughout the week. We rarely saw him lose in 1-on-1 situations. He was also the most targeted receiver during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work. Williams is able to create separation at multiple levels of the route. His shifty quickness and refined technical ability point to a high floor as a potential early contributor at Clemson. – Charles Power

Additional notes

+ Kenyatta Jackson Jr. (Ohio State) and Derrick Moore (Michigan) were two standouts on the edge throughout the week and in the game. Jackson has a lean, long build and made several nice plays behind the line of scrimmage on Sunday. Moore may have been the defensive MVP of the game, with two sacks and another that was called back due to a penalty. The Michigan signee is a powerful rusher with significant strength. Stanford signee Ernest Cooper IV also flashed in practice and the game with strong effort and several disruptive plays.

+ It can be difficult to fully evaluate linebackers in the non-contact practice setting, so we place more emphasis on the game with that group. With that said, we thought Notre Dame signee Jaylen Sneed may have flashed the most of the group throughout the game. Sneed showed off his plus athleticism, flying around the field to make some physical stops. Sneed was tied for the most tackles on Team Legends with five stops.

+ Texas A&M signee Conner Weigman was the top-rated quarterback at the game and looked by far the most comfortable on Sunday. Weigman used his athletic ability to avoid the pass rush and make some off-schedule plays. It was not the strongest group of quarterbacks, but Weigman separated himself from the group with his play on Sunday.

+ Jackson State signee Travis Hunter had a relatively quiet week by his standards. The Five-Star Plus+ prospect took things relatively easy as he’s nursing an ankle injury that lingered for a long high school season. Still, we saw Hunter make some nice plays on the ball in addition to being rarely beaten at his corner spot.

+ Kelvin Banks (Texas) and Emery Jones (LSU) paired with Booker to make a strong starting offensive line for Team Icons. Banks was playing out of position at right tackle, but got better of the course of the week and looked quick and physical as a run blocker on Sunday. Jones is a big-bodied lineman who showed well at tackle and guard throughout the week. Devon Campbell (Texas) was the most consistent offensive lineman for Team Legends over the course of the week.

+ The wide receivers in this game were as deep a group that we’ve seen in at an all-star event. Jordan Hudson (TCU), Adam Randall (Clemson), and Aaron Anderson (Alabama) were three more standouts. Hudson was a late arrival, coming in on the third day of practice. He didn’t take any time to get going and made easy work of some top defensive backs in his lone full-speed practice. We also saw Hudson make some nice grabs in the game. His silky smooth movement skills and high-end catch radius make him one of the more skilled receivers in the cycle. Randall was not targeted much in the game, but impressed during practice. The Clemson signee is 6-foot-3, 215 pounds and was the most physically imposing receiver in attendance. He showed the ability to get behind some top defensive backs over the course of the week. Anderson had a very strong start to the week before missing some time with a tweaked hamstring. The Alabama signee is a cat-quick slot receiver with an expanded catch radius due to his vertical leaping ability. Anderson was the leading receiver for Team Legends with 50 yards on three catches.

+ All of the safeties had a relatively quiet game. With that said, we thought Jacoby Mathews was the best at the position throughout the week. Mathews missed the first day of practice as a late arrival, but impressed with his instincts and fluidity in coverage. Mathews is unsigned and has a top five of Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Florida and Texas.

+ Similar to linebacker, running back can be tough to evaluate in non contact practices. Texas A&M signee Leveon Moss was a late arrival, but showed the most burst in the game with a few nice runs. Alabama signee Emmanuel Henderson had a nice run in the 4th quarter as well. North Carolina signee George Pettaway had the best hands of the running backs throughout the week and made a very nice downfield grab during the game.
