One of the nation’s top players regardless of position, Hall comes into this weekend looking to punch his ticket to the Five-Star Challenge for the second-straight year. His offer list reads like a who’s who of college football powers, with programs such as Alabama, Florida State and Stanford all the mix. Like most players from the Los Angeles area, it appears to be setting up for a USC-UCLA battle to land his commitment.
The latest and perhaps most talented of the St. Brown family of wide receivers, Amon-Ra is another prospect with an offer from pretty much every school in the country. His list of top options is very diverse, with Michigan and Stanford among the programs trying to lure him out of state. USC has recently come back into the picture as well and is making a strong push to keep St. Brown close to home.
Taylor-Stuart fits the mold of a tall cornerback with elite speed and the ability to cover a variety of wide receivers. His skillset is a big reason his recruitment has exploded in recent months, with programs from all around the country joining his offer list. He’s believed to be one of Alabama’s top targets at cornerback and programs such as USC and Washington are also heavily in the mix.
When it comes to hard-hitting middle linebacker Tuliaupupu is one of the tops in his class and this weekend he will have a chance to show the variety in his game in a camp setting. On the recruiting trail he has spent the last few months collecting offers and has said that he plans on giving programs such as Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan and Oklahoma a long look. Right now USC, UCLA and Washington also figure to play heavily into his recruitment.
Unlike the other players on this list Woodbey elected to end his recruitment early, committing to Ohio State over USC, Washington and a national list of offers. Despite his status as a commit, Woodbey is a regular at offseason events and is expected to be one of the event’s standouts. A safety who can cover a ton of ground, Woodbey is known for his ability to hit as well as his ability to cover, something that will be tested with the star power expected to be on hand at the wide receiver position.
