After relocating venues from The Star, to North Texas, we would soon learn that Shedeur Sanders decided to opt out of the event entirely. UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers was brought in to fill the spot. This opens the door for Syracuse signal-caller Kyle McCord who is throwing to a familiar target in tight end and teammate Oronde Gadsden II. Tune-in for players who caught our attention such as wideouts Ja'Corey Brooks of Louisville and Isaiah Neyor of Nebraska.

Ole Miss wide receiver Antwane Wells Jr. was breaking ankles early on, while Lajohntay Wester of Colorado was sure to show off his burst and speed.
