OVIEDO, Fla. -- With a star-studded field that included a pair of five-stars and several other highly rated players, the Orlando stop of the Rivals Camp Series Presented by Under Amour was loaded with talent. But not everyone came into the event with a ton of hype. These are the "best of the rest" from Saturday's event -- players who flashed a ton of talent but are still waiting for a scholarship offer.
RCS ORLANDO BEST OF THE REST
OT EVAN CROWELL, PLANT CITY (FLA.)
Crowell is a lineman with very good natural abilities and he had a pretty successful camp. His good lateral quickness and strength are his best attributes. Crowell could stop the defensive lineman's initial pass rush and when he got his hands on the defender, he usually won the rep.
OG ALEX HARRISON, TALLAHASSEE (FLA.) NORTH FLORIDA CHRISTIAN
Harrison is a very stout interior offensive lineman that could play guard or center at the next level. He was quick out of his stance and had a very solid base which helped him stand up bigger defensive linemen. Harrison had a very strong punch and was a relentless competitor.
LB MARQUIS HENDRIX, OCALA (FLA.) TRINITY CATHOLIC
After being one of the most impressive linebackers earlier this year at the Under Armour Combine, Hendrix impressed again. He's terrific in pass coverage for a linebacker and knows just when to get his head around and his hands up to contest passes. His good timing, along with excellent position and instincts, led to several pass deflections on Saturday.
OT BO ALEXANDER, WINTER SPRINGS (FLA.)
While working at tackle, Alexander showed off the best initial punch of any offensive lineman at the camp. His opening hit was so hard that it stunned several defenders, knocking them off balance. He's aggressive and mean, something you love to see from an offensive lineman. Hard to imagine a guy with his skills and body type will go without offers for long.
QB HUNTER OREM, LAKELAND (FLA.) LAKE GIBSON (2016)
Orem was one of the better quarterbacks in a good group. He has a quick, clean throwing motion and is smooth in his drops. During one-on-ones, Orem was very accurate on the short and intermediate throws and could be more consistent on his deep passes.
DL ROBERT PARENT, STUART (FLA.) MARTIN COUNTY
Parent worked out at defensive tackle and looked the part physically as well as fundamentally. He has good size and is quick off the snap and knows how to use his hands to get free. He's not the strongest guy in the world, but was still effective because of his athleticism and good balance.
WR KELVIN MCKNIGHT, BRADENTON (FLA.) MANATEE
McKnight is a slot receiver with good downfield speed and he made some nice catches on deep balls field as well. With his size, he'll have to make a living at getting open quickly on short and intermediate routes and he showed a nice ability to do both during one-on-ones.
DL TASHAWN MANNING, APOPKA (FLA.) WEKIVA (2016)
Manning is still a little raw, but showed a great motor and quick feet during one-on-ones. He's a little undersized compared to some of his counterparts, but won several reps because of his quickness. With time to develop and a good skill set, he could develop into a nice prospect.
OC ALEC SHRINER, OVIEDO, FLA.
Shriner was working out on his home turf and he sure looked comfortable at the center position. He's built for the inside and has a good wide base that helps him anchor down. He has trouble with speed rushers, but he'll be an interior guy at the next level and his footwork and body will serve him well.
QB CHRIS OLADOKUN, TAMPA ALONSO (2016)
Oladokun isn't exactly the ideal-sized quarterback, but he showed arm strength that was right up there with the best quarterbacks in attendance. In addition to being able to sling it deep, he can also put touch on the ball when needed.
DB MYKAL WOULARD, ORLANDO (FLA.) UNIVERSITY
Woulard is the younger brother of 2013 Rivals250 quarterback Asantii Woulard and is hoping that he can burst onto the scene in similar fashion after a strong showing. As a cornerback, he's aggressive, can move well and is great at changing directions. He also loves to be physical at the line of scrimmage and because of his strength, he's pretty good at throwing receivers off balance early in their routes.
OLB DAISHAUN GRIMES, SAINT CLOUD (FLA.) HARMONY
Grimes plays off the beaten path in Central Florida, but looks like he could be a real diamond in the rough. He has good size and a great build and depending on how he develops, it looks as if he can play either inside or outside at the next level. The key for him will be to continue to add weight without sacrificing speed.
WR KYLE PANAGIOTOU, OVIEDO, FLA.
Panagiotou is a quick slot receiver-type who runs nice, crisp routes. He has a knack for getting open, especially when lined up against linebackers. He also has a very good set of hands and found a way to make tough catches, even when the throws coming his way weren't always on target. He's build for the spread and should be able to fit in nicely in the right program at the next level.
