2,630 high school football prospects were in Buford, Georgia on Sunday to see which football players were the cream of the crop with different speed and ability drills at the NIKE 'The Opening' Regionals (ATL) camp.

12 players were handed prestigious invites to 'The Opening' finals including Clemson wide receiver commit Amari Rodgers from Knoxville, Catholic (TN). Other recruits that were invited to 'The Opening' Finals were WR Nico Collins, TE Tre McKitty, OL D'Antne Demery, DL Drew Jordan, DL LaBryan Ray, DL Jalen Parks, DL Cory Durden, LB Williams Gay, LB Jaden Hunter, LB Markail Benton and DB William Poole.

Rogers was also named wide receiver MVP of the camp over Nico Collins.

Clemson QB commit Chase Brice was also impressive as he was the MVP of the quarterbacks at the camp.
