Rivals.com national recruiting analyst SamSpiegelman breaks down those players.
Louisiana speedster Jaden Keelen punched his ticket to the Rivals Camp on Sunday after testing extremely well at Saturday’s Rivals Combine. The New Orleans (La.) John Curtis defensive back clocked a 4.5-second 40 with a 4.33-second short shuttle.
He’s a 2028 prospect we’re expecting to draw looks from college programs around the country.
Edward Kelly Jr. crushed the Rivals Combine on Saturday. The rising senior (5-foot-10, 181 pounds) clocked a 4.54-second 40 with a blazing 4.32-second short shuttle – on top of a 7.5-second 3-cone.
The talented back already holds offers from Colorado State, Pitt, UTSA and Washington State.
Tim Garner out of Colorado came and made noise at the Rivals Combine. The rising eighth grader already checks in with a 6-foot-3, 275-pound frame and has seen interest from Wake Forest early on.
The cousin of Rivals four-star DE Ezekiel Ayangbile, this 2029 running back tested great at the combine. Ayangbile ran a 4.6-second 40, a 4.4-second shuttle and posted a 10.3-foot broad jump.
The 5-foot-9, 180-pounder has NFL bloodlines and was among the top underclassmen to shine on Saturday.
Kaleb Campbell came from The Boot and was an instant eye-catcher. North of 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, Campbell has fantastic size and measureables to compete at a premium position like offensive tackle.
Jirehn Mitchell is a multi-sport athlete that plays basketball for Duncanville (Texas) High School and will be a major asset in the passing game as a senior, playing wide receiver for the Panthers.
The 6-foot-4, 194-pounder clocked a 4.5-second 40 time and brings a ton of juice to the pass-catching position.
AJ Randle brings a ton of length and athleticism to multiple positions on defense. At Garner (NC) High, Randle plays safety and linebacker, and can get after the quarterback on third downs.
Randle holds an early offer from Duke, while Clemson is coming on strong with the 2027 defender.
Dallas Police Central Business District officers recovered 39 bags of crack cocaine during an arrest Tuesday.
