The Opening Regional Ohio Invites and MVPs (Video)

Ten of the nation’s best prospects earned an invite to The Opening during Sunday’s regional held in Ohio.

Invited to The Opening (Full The Opening Finals roster)

Pittsburgh (Pa.) Central Catholic cornerback Damar Hamlin stood out during drills and shined playing both corner and safety during the competition portion. Ranked as the nation’s No. 11 cornerback according to the 247Sports Composite, Hamlin continues to strongly consider Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame and Pittsburgh among others. He visited Ohio State on Saturday and the Buckeyes are the 247Sports Crystal Ball leader.

In his first action since an injury during the fall, Fort Wayne (Ind.) Bishop Luers receiver Austin Mack looked explosive like he didn’t miss a beat. Mack stepped it up during 1-on-1s getting open on a variety of routes including the comeback, and he was a reliable target during skelly. Ohio State is the huge 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite going into his decision next Sunday. Michigan and Notre Dame are also finalists. Mack is the country’s No. 21 receiver.

Spartanburg (S.C.) High five-star running back and Clemson commit Tavien Feaster was a surprise walk up, posted a 4.34 second 40-yard dash to get the day rolling. Feaster is the nation’s top-ranked all-purpose back according to 247Sports. He didn’t disappoint in position work or cat and mouse against linebackers.

North Ridgeville (Ohio) High running back and Ohio State commit Demario McCall is the complete package at this point, explosive, elusive and can catch it, the Buckeyes are getting a dynamite playmaker. McCall is the country’s No. 1 running back according to 247Sports.

On this day, no running back was better than Pittsburgh (Pa.) Woodland Hills running back Miles Sanders. The Penn State commit is the No. 3 ranked running back according to 247Sports, but he certainly stated his case to be No. 1, winning position MVP honors as well.

Cincinnati (Ohio) Moeller tight end Jake Hausmann, an Ohio State commit, was a threat in the passing game in the flats and over the middle. The nation’s No. 3 tight end according to the 247Sports Composite has soft hands and after-the-catch ability.

Versailles (Ky.) Woodford County Top100 center and Kentucky commit Drake Jackson is a technician at the point of attack that moves well and plays with toughness. 247Sports ranks the U.S. Army All-American as the No. 1 center in the country.

Detroit (Mich.) Cass Tech Top247 offensive guard Michael Onwenu won MVP at this event last year, was dominant at the Chicago Regional a month ago and was ferocious again on this afternoon. Onwenu is stout and physical with interior defensive linemen and he flipped over and was instantly one of the best defensive tackles on the day when taking reps there. Onwenu favors Michigan, Penn State and Miami. He is the nation’s No. 5 offensive guard according to 247Sports.

Cincinnati (Ohio) Elder five-star offensive tackle and Notre Dame commit Tommy Kraemer is quick into his pass pro and easily controls pass rushers on the edge. The nation’s No. 3 offensive tackle and No. 7 player overall has good feet and lateral quickness.

Columbus (Ohio) Gahanna Lincoln Top247 defensive end Jonathon Cooper performed well at the Atlanta event earlier in the spring, and the Ohio State commit was even better back home as the quickest defender off the edge. Cooper is also a strong young man, a combination that typically led to him winning the majority of his reps.

Camp MVPs

Quarterback: Boston College commit Anthony Brown continues to evolve as a passer. A good athlete, Brown was just a prospect coming into his junior year and moving into his senior year he’s emerged as one of the nation’s best. Brown has a live arm and he was on most of the day. Brown is the nation’s No. 11 dual-threat quarterback according to 247Sports.

Running Back: Sanders (Penn State commit)

Receiver: The Thompson’s Station (Tenn.) Independence 2016 Nate Johnson couldn’t be ignored sharing the field with several high-profile players of the same position. Johnson knows how to get open, has reliable hands and made play after play.

Offensive Line: Jackson

Linebacker: The trip was worth it for Petal (Ms.) High 2016 linebacker Keeath Magee II who was in the middle of everything defensively with his instincts and ability to run.

Defensive Back: Hamlin

Top Nike Football Rating: Donovan Peoples-Jones.
