The first night of prep for the 2025 Under Armour All-America Game has come to a close. After a series of drills and 7-on-7 action, Georgia Five-Star Plus+ DL signee Elijah Griffin was named On3 MVP for day one of practice by On3’s Charles Power and Cody Bellaire.

“Griffin looked the part of a top-five overall prospect and the No. 1 defensive tackle in the 2025 cycle at day one of Under Armour All-America practice. This is our first opportunity to see Griffin in a neutral setting and he certainly lived up to his lofty billing,” Power wrote.

The top performers from day one of practice can be found here.

“Georgia four-star interior offensive lineman signee Juan Gaston was violent during team period, moving people off the ball with ease.” — On3’s Cody Bellaire

The 6-foot-7, 340-pounder out of Atlanta Westlake signed with the in-state Bulldogs earlier this month. He is a top-200 recruit and the No. 12 IOL in the 2025 cycle.

…WR Quentin Gibson with a reception over the middle. The Colorado signee had a special senior season and has electric traits after the catch.

…Texas four-star QB signee KJ Lacey just hit Nebraska four-star WR signee Isaiah Mozee in stride for a TD. Biggest play of the day.” — On3’s Steve Wiltfong

“Miami 2026 LB commit Jordan Campbell with a nice stop in inside drills for Team Unstoppable. Good flow to the football. Baylor LB signee Kaleb Burns showing athleticism running with 2026 four-star WR Naeem Burroughs in a wheel route.” — On3’s Charles Power

Blue-chippers looking the part on both sides of the ball

12/30/2024 05:44:11 PM

“Oregon Five-Star Plus+ WR signee Dakorien Moore looks unbelievably fluid and loose running routes on air. Total stud. Florida four-star LB signee Ty Jackson is moving around very comfortably in drill work. 2026 No. 1 running back Savion Hiter not only looks the part, but he’s catching the ball so easy out here.

I Really like the upside of Mississippi State four-star LB signee Tyler Lockhart, frame has a lot of growth potential with twitchy movement skills. Elite 2026 tight end Kaiden Prothro looks the part and moves the part. He’s got some freaky upside. Natural ball tracker and pass catcher.” — On3’s Cody Bellaire

On3’s Steve Wiltfong has some of the latest visit plans and interest from a trio of blue-chip 2026 recruits:

-Four-star LB Izayia Williams is one of the top players at his position in 2026. Source out here says he will visit Texas as soon as possible. He’s very high on Miami and Florida. Alabama is a major contender too.

-Per his father, 2026 IOL Micah Smith is going to lock in an Oregon spring practice soon. The Ducks aim to make a move on Ohio State, Miami and South Carolina. Tennessee in there too. The plan is to watch a spring practice at each place and see if he likes the style and way that’s run and see how he fits in.

-Four-star EDGE Jake Kreul is working on junior day visits to two teams he hasn’t visited yet in Tennessee and Texas A&M, per his father. The plan is to drop a top 12 in early February, then visit those schools.

LSU five-star IOL signee Solomon Thomas has an ideal build for the interior. Wide base and developed lower body with long arms.” — Charles Power
