CLIFTON, Va. — An impressive collection of high school football standouts gathered near the nation's capital Sunday, April 17, to participate in The Opening's Washington, D.C. regional showcase.
Prospects from Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia naturally played a paramount role throughout a competitive day at Centreville High School. Located at the intersection of ACC and Big Ten territory, there was no shortage of collegiate recruits in attendance.
From trench showdowns between lauded linemen to one-on-one matchups in passing drills, reps proved to separate elite talent from a crowded pack of players. Though only three athletes from an action-packed regional were selected to attend The Opening's national final, held this summer at Nike's world headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, others may ultimately be added to the roster as coaches continue to survey playmakers from a country-wide regional series.
