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 athletes 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 high school football players in a weeklong showcase of drills, exhibition and seven-on-seven play at Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.

Four players -- South Grand Prairie safety Atanza Vongor; LSU safety commit Caden Sterns from Cibolo Steele; Oklahoma offensive line commit Brey Walker from Southmoore, Oklahoma; and defensive end Cameron Latu from Salt Lake City -- were invited to The Opening finals.

Eight others were named Dallas regional camp MVPs. They are: Frisco Lone Star quarterback M.J. Rivers; Cedar Hill running back/wide receiver and Baylor commit Joshua Fleeks; Duncanville defensive end Marcus Mosley; Lovejoy linebacker Bumper Pool; DeSoto defensive back Gemon Green; Houston Cypress Creek wide receiver Miles Battle; Porter safety Christian Morgan; and Bixby, Okla., offensive lineman Bryce Bray.

Great name, great game: As the player with arguably the best name in football recruiting, Lovejoy linebacker Bumper Pool wants to prove every day that his game is just as much a conversation-starter.

The Arkansas commit had a good camp and showed his worth as an inside linebacker, playing well in one-on-one drills, as well as seven-on-seven drills. And while his name caught the attention of several of The Opening instructors, his game was the main thing they were talking about.

It's a great camp. I had a lot of fun," Pool said. "Getting the great talent around the area and competing against each other, it's just a good time."

Pool winning linebacker MVP honors for Sunday should give Arkansas fans plenty to get excited about. He is a solid Razorbacks pledge for the 2018 class and is ready to battle for playing time in Bret Bielema's system.

"It was my childhood dream to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks, and the stars aligned," Pool said. "With the coaching staff and the way the program is going, it was the best fit for me."
