Alabama offensive line commit Pierce Quick recorded more than 100 knockdown blocks last year for Hewitt-Trussville.

After four days at The Opening in Frisco, Texas, the 6-foot-5, 290-pounder said he learned techniques that can make him even better.

"I had a really good week here. I was telling people, this is the first camp I've gone to that I've really learned a lot of stuff. They actually teach you a lot of stuff here.

It was more like advanced technique stuff," he added. "Right now, in high school, you're learning the basics. Out here, they're teaching you what you're going to learn in college, so that was the cool part."

Quick was one of seven Alabama high school players who competed at The Opening, a four-day recruiting showcase sponsored by Nike and held at The Star, the Dallas Cowboys training facility. He wasn't the only Alabama commit at The Opening, with Daphne defensive back Christian Williams; linebacker Shane Lee, from Baltimore, Maryland; and quarterback and Thompson senior Taulia Tagovailoa among the other future Crimson Tide players.

Much of the action open to media members focused on skill-position players, including a 7on7 tournament. Auburn commit and Pinson Valley star Bo Nix quarterbacked his team to the 7on7 final before falling to a team led by Elite 11 QB MVP Spencer Rattler, an Oklahoma commit.

Quick and the rest of the linemen, meanwhile, were split into offensive and defensive groups and came together for 1-on-1 action.

Quick did not make it to the top 10 linemen -- five offensive and five defensive -- and said he believed AHSAA rules preventing him from wearing pads played a role not getting chosen. "I only lost one rep," he said.

Asked if there was one major takeaway from The Opening, Quick didn't hesitate to answer.

"It was a lot different coming here," he said. "You're not going to be able to just overpower everyone. In high school, it's different, (and) not everybody out there is a five-star."
