FRISCO, Texas -- Sunday at The Opening Finals saw players break up into a camp-like setting to work on position-specific drills and 1-on-1's. Here are the observations from watching the offensive linemen work out at The Star.

Alpha Dog

Wanya Morris ... The Nation's No. 5 offensive tackle on the 247Sports Composite continued his torrid camp circuit with another impressive performance Sunday afternoon. Morris lost his last rep against Kayvon Thibodeaux but otherwise was unbeatable due to his lightning quick first step. Morris had arguably the most impressive two reps of the day against his high school teammate, Alabama defensive end commit Kevin Harris. At 6-foot-5.5, 295 pounds, Morris has tremendous upside and is a legitimate left tackle prospect in the class and the Tennessee commitment showed his wingspan and athleticism can win against both power inside and speed outside.





Next Three Standouts

Evan Neal ... At 6-7.5, 391 pounds, Neal is the largest player in attendance at The Opening Finals. While he will undoubtedly look to trim weight at the next level, it created no issues for Neal as he showed nimble feet against speed and turned Michigan commitment Stephen Herron to the ground. Neal chops his feet well for his size and is very difficult to beat via bull rush due to his initial punch. Miami appears to be in good shape for the massive lineman.

Kardell Thomas ... As he often does in the phone booth, Thomas drew several oohs and ahs by putting multiple defensive linemen into the astroturf on Sunday, including Florida State commitment Quashon Fuller. Fuller did provide one of the few losses on the day for Thomas by rolling the dice on a spin move and managing to get outside of Thomas' reach. The 6-3, 356-pound LSU commitment also ended his day by spinning the helmet of Purdue defensive lineman commitment George Karlaftis, then, after Karlaftis gave him a shove, Thomas threw up hands in the heated exchange.

Darnell Wright ... Wright looked extremely comfortable in position drills and, at 6-6, 314, might have the most college-ready build of the group. Wright lost a rep here and there, but in his wins, Wright showcased dominant form against wide-nine techniques and made an early run at Alpha Dog. Wright knows how to get out of his stance quickly and efficiently and his wingspan really allows him to box out and defend against inside counter moves. Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia are among the teams in the race for the nation's No. 1 offensive tackle.

SIGNATURE PLAY

As he did throughout the day, Wanya Morris used his quickness to mirror Alabama edge rusher commitment Kevin Harris and redirect him away from the quarterback.

EMPTYING THE NOTEBOOK

- If not for Wright, Kenyon Green would be next in line for most college-ready. The Aggies commitment had a strong day and just missed out on making the top four. The 6-5, 318-pound tackle performed very well against Harris and the other speed rushers.

- Siaki Ika and his 347 pounds provided issues for centers all day, but Ohio State commitment Harry Miller was able to find the answers in his last two battles by utilizing a good punch and then just maintaining his base. Miller has a nasty streak, but on Sunday he showed he can win with technique as well.

-Right tackles Warren McClendon and Doug Nester did not have their best day. Neither was able to fire out of their stance quickly enough against rush ends like Bryan Bresee and Nolan Smith. Both also need to do a better job of preventing the larger defensive ends from getting into their body and driving back.

-Five-star center Clay Webb is considered a heavy Alabama lean but he said Sunday that Auburn's Gus Malzahn is the head coach he is closest to at this time. Webb split reps against Jacob Bandes, an accomplishment in itself with Bandes having the most dominant performance among the defensive linemen on Day 1.

-Stacey Wilkins quietly turned in a solid performance, with several impressive reps to end the first day. The 6-6.5, 280-pound prospect, considered an Oklahoma lean, was technically proficient and looked like a natural knee bender, maintaining a straight back with a stout base.

- Alabama commitment Pierce Quick had an up-and-down day, but on the reps he won, he showcased great balance, which is very important. Often linemen end up on the ground in this competition, which is not where you want to be.
