FRISCO -- The Ford Center at The Star hosted one of the nation's largest high school football events, a Nike-sponsored showcase of combine drills, one-on-one competition and more called The Opening. Sunday's Dallas regional was the fourth stop on a 13-stop circuit.

More than 400 players from 14 states participated in the event put on by Student Sports. Each athlete competed for an invitation to The Opening finals, which will feature 166 players in a weeklong showcase of drills, exhibition and seven-on-seven play at Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.

Sachse had six players compete, including quarterback Jalen Mayden and wide receiver Drue Jackson.

Also competing was defensive back Isaiah Humphries, who committed to Penn State on Dec. 31. Humphries, the son of former Penn State and NFL defensive back Leonard Humphries, reconfirmed his pledge to the Nittany Lions. He has received offers from Oregon, Oklahoma, Baylor and other programs.

"Penn State was the one for me," Humphries said. "My dad went there, but that really wasn't the driving factor of me going. At first, I was skeptical of visiting. My dad was saying it's the best place on earth, and when your dad tells you something like that, you're like, 'whatever.' But I went, and I was amazed.

"Seeing 107,000 people during the White Out [game against Ohio State in October] was crazy. The campus is amazing, and the academics are great. It had everything I wanted as an athlete and a student."
