Practices will run until Thursday. The game will be played at Spec Martin Stadium in suburban Orlando on January 2. Several 2026 prospects turned in performances of note on Monday evening.

2026 prospects with notable performances on Day 1

+ Savion Hiter was the top skill player on Monday night. The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder showed strong ability in every facet of the running back position. He is a natural pass-catcher and was explosive as a ball-carrier. – On3 National Scout Cody Bellaire

+ Tristen Keys was the top overall wideout during Day 1 of Under Armour practice. His length, fluidity, and ball skills consistently caught our eye. Keys was fantastic at working over the middle of the field and was outstanding on tight-window throws with his ability to finish through contact. – On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power

+ Five-Star Plus+ offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho held his own throughout the day and only got stronger as the night went on, starting with the 1-on-1 period. He displayed quality balance and body control in the run and pass game. – Cody Bellaire

+ Tight end Kaiden Prothro‘s frame, athletic ability, and ball skills are impressive for his age. He made it look easy during drill work. The burst and ball-tracking skills stood out. – Charles Power

+ Although not as comfortable as Savion Hiter in the passing game, running back Javian Osborne showed well during the inside run and team periods. He flashed great vision and balance while running behind his pads on Monday night. – Cody Bellaire

+ EDGE Zion Elee showed the high-end physical tools that make him On3’s early No. 1 prospect in the cycle. The Maryland commit is a twitchy, long pass rusher and showed the ability to disrupt off the edge on Monday night – Charles Power

+ Offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell showed the innate flexibility and functional movement skills that make him an early Five-Star Plus+ prospect in the 2026 cycle. Cantwell primarily lined up at right tackle on Monday night. While there was a bit of an adjustment to the speed of the competition, Cantwell showed very good recovery quickness. The high-end traits are apparent. He should only improve with more honed technique in pass protection. – Charles Power

+ EDGE Jake Kreul was relentless as a pass rusher during the 1-on-1 and team periods. His effort and motor were infectious during Day 1 of practice. – Cody Bellaire

+ Simeon Caldwell is working at linebacker this week and made one of the highlight plays of the team period. The top 50 prospect picked off Maryland quarterback signee Malik Washington after undercutting an out-breaking route by Alabama tight end signee Marshall Pritchett. – Charles Power

+ Miami linebacker commit Jordan Campbell stuffed multiple runs between the tackles during the inside run period and showed good sideline-to-sideline speed during the team period. – Cody Bellaire

+ EDGE Nolan Wilson flashed athleticism and quick hands throughout practice. He was active and looks to have some positional flexibility along the defensive front with a frame that should continue to fill out. – Charles Power

+ Rutgers wide receiver commit Dyzier Carter flashed an impressive one-handed catch during the routes-on-air portion of practice and finished with a strong first day of practice. – Cody Bellaire

+ Linebacker Izayia Williams showed the frame and movement skills to thrive in space. Williams was one of the more athletic linebackers, making easy work of individual drills. He also showed some physicality while playing between the tackles during Monday night’s practice. – Charles Power

+ Wide receiver Carnell Warren picked up steam throughout the evening and put together an excellent team period to finish the first night of practice. – Cody Bellaire

+ Offensive tackle Keenyi Pepe is one of the more physically-impressive prospects at Under Armour. The frame, body composition, and movement skills were encouraging. – Charles Power

+ Florida quarterback commit Will Griffin had a couple of nice throws during the 7-on-7 and team periods that showed off his arm strength. – Cody Bellaire

+ Quarterback Derek Zammit showed some good velocity in the intermediate levels of the field with the ability to layer the football. – Charles Power
