Throughout the spring, high school football players from across the country competed at regional events for a chance to earn a spot at The Opening finals at Nike headquarters in Oregon, the marquee competition in the country for future college players.

The 166 prospects are now gearing up for the five-day event, which will begin Friday, and four Utahns along with a number of players with Beehive State ties will be there.
