ORLANDO, Florida. – The 2023 edition of the Under Armor All-America game It will be played Tuesday night at 5 p.m. EST inside Camping World Stadium. The exhibition, which brought together more than 100 of the country’s top seniors, will be televised on ESPN2.

Six different players who played in last year’s All-Star Game went on to make the Genuine 247 Sports All-American Freshman Team (LSU linebacker Harold Perkins, Texas A&M wide receiver Evan Stewart, Texas offensive lineman Kelvin Banks, Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker, LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell and cornerback of Michigan Will Johnson) while nearly a dozen others have gained significant reps at some point in 2022.
So who will we see on the court making plays on Saturday this coming fall? The 247 Sports team gets you ready for the game after spending the last few days training.
Jackson Arnold and the Quarterbacks
Under Armor typically brings six different quarterbacks to Orlando, but only four arms will fit Tuesday with the two USC signees Malachy Nelson and signatory of Alabama Dylan Lonergan deal with injuries.
Signatory from Oklahoma Jackson Arnold has been our go-to signalman since things started last week and should probably be considered the go-to favorite to earn MVP honors if he can get things going. The dual-threat talent, who has gone 28-3 as a starter over the past two years in the highest-rated Lone Star State, is poised to split reps on Team Speed (helmets whites) with the Florida signatory Jaden Rashadwho also had his moments in training.
Team Phantom (black helmets) will be led by a pair of Big 12 smugglers in Iowa State JJ Kohl and Kansas State Signatory Avery Johnson. Kohl has an NFL height at 6-foot-7, 230 pounds and won the QB Precision Challenge on Monday after hitting more fixed targets than the rest of his peers. Johnson, on the other hand, is one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the 2023 cycle and should be able to create with his legs because he will no longer wear a non-contact jersey.
Other stars of recent days
There were only two training sessions that featured extensive 1v1, 7v7, and 11v11 work, which means we only gave out two “Alpha Dog” awards: Texas A&M signer of the defensive line David Hicks Saturday and Texas wide receiver signer Johntay Cook II on Sunday.
A Team Phantom offensive coach told 247 Sports that Hicks pretty much dictated what his unit was able to do in practice. It wouldn’t be surprising if he made his presence felt in the middle of Tuesday. Cook has received equally rave reviews and looks like Orlando’s top runner this week, which is pretty remarkable considering how USC signs. Zacharias Branch and Lemon Makai also participated in exercises and prepared opposition defensive backs.
Some others that have appeared regularly in practice include: unsigned tight end Duce RobinsonGeorgia linebacker signer Raylen Wilson (who previously attended college football playoff practices with the Bulldogs), Georgia safety signee Joenel AgueroAlabama defensive line signer Jordan RenaudMiami defensive line signer Rueben BainFlorida defensive line signer Will Norman and signatory of the UCF defensive line John Walker.
Trying to stack the cornerback’s board
We entered the week hoping to find answers at cornerback. At least as far as how we want to stack them up in ranking at the top of the board. Various corners flashed, but no one really separated from the rest of the peloton. Could it happen on Tuesday?
miami engage Cormani McClain ticks every box from a height/length/speed perspective, but he was limited due to a shoulder injury and wasn’t even on Monday’s guided tour. Alabama signer Desmond Ricks, who reclassified from the class of 2024, also looks at the room with its dimensions and contractions. He played near-locked coverage in Sunday’s 1-on-1, but needs to get more consistent. Florida signatory Ja’keem Jackson is yet another lanky exterior corner that passes the eyesight test. He made a good choice in training, but he’s still figuring things out from a technical point of view, which isn’t surprising as he’s still relatively new to the job.
Texas signer Malik MohammadSJM signatory Ryan YaitesUnsigned Ethan Nation (who is ready to commit during the game), Unsigned Rodrick Nice and signatory of Florida Sharif Denson are other cornerbacks who deserve some credit for what they’ve done at the ESPN Wide World of Sports training grounds.
More prospects we are following closely on Tuesday
Unsigned “Freak” Port of Nycolles remains a polarizing prospect. He may not be the most polished player in football, but he kept reminding people over the weekend why he was so special as he piled on defenders with his elite flurry , then scored long touchdowns during the 1-on-1 while working the tight end.
Things have been pretty tough for offensive linemen, but the LSU signee Zalance heard He’s done some encouraging things in pass protection and has the frame and reach to one day be a franchise corner protector. The same could be said of the FSU signee and Sweden native Lucas Simmonswhich has reached a major developmental milestone in the past eight months or so.
No prospect in Orlando this week has created as much buzz in group chat for 247 Sports as the Oklahoma defensive line signing. Adepoju Adebawore. He’s come a long way since we saw him compete in the Future 50 in June and he’s someone who could make the case that he belongs in our Final 32 depending on how Tuesday night goes.
Mid-level players will also finally be in the spotlight on Tuesday. Is the speedster bound for Colorado Dylan Edwards break a long? Or will Alabama be a signatory Richard Young do it between tackles. What about the Iowa signer Ben Kuter and Ole Miss signer Suntarine Perkins. How will they and the other linebackers do?
