Like clockwork, each and every year, the Blue-Grey All-American Combine (Rocky Mountain Regional) features plenty of high-profile recruits and several under-the-radar types. This time around, it was no different from the many times before. It was a well-rounded group, indeed.
There were many scholarship-worthy prospects in attendance and numerous others fit in that category. Below is a recap of some of the top performers and each is now considered as an All-American Bowl candidate for one of the upcoming games later on this year (details to follow).
Kaden Hopkin, 2028, QB, Holy Family (CO): The 6’3 and 180-pounder looked the part. And played the part. Remember his name.
Maurice Edwards, 2027, RB, Americas (TX): Plenty was expected from the 5’7 and 165-pounder and he delivered. UTEP is in the running.
Chance Phillips, 2028, RB, Cherry Creek (CO): The 5’9 and 210-pounder did everything well. There’s a lot to like about his game.
Lyric Wynn, 2027, RB, Gateway (CO): Good size, speed and strength, the 5’10 and 195-pounder turned some heads. Rightfully so.

Nicholas Phillips, 2027, WR, Prescott (AZ): The 5-9 and 175-pounder was consistent and caught everything thrown his way.
