Live coverage: 2014 Florida Elite 11 and Nike Football recruit camps

Much like on the offensive line, I did not see any obvious elite players on the defensive line. Ronique Robinson, a transfer to Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington, is one to watch. He has an excellent build and a basketball background, but he is quite raw.

Unlike the group in Orlando, the linebackers in Miami had much better length overall and higher ceilings.

I covered the quarterback position, which was quite poor Sunday, in this update on Torrance Gibson. The overall lack of quarterback play hurt the ability for receivers and defensive backs to show their talents.

There were a number of talented running backs on hand.

Sunday at the Miami Nike Football Training Camp was a mixed bag for Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) American Heritage five-star QB/athlete Torrance Gibson. He struggled throwing the football, and stood out among a very lacking quarterback field because of his build (6’4, 200), not his arm.

Nonetheless, Gibson did earn an invite to Nike’s The Opening (a prestigious showcase in Oregon) as an athlete, with a chance to earn a spot at quarterback if he improves considerably between now and early July. He is one of only 20 Florida recruits to receive the honor at this point in the summer camp cycle.

Miami is always one of the top stops on the Nike Football Recruit Training Camp tour, and 2014 figures to be no different. I’ll be providing live updates from 10-2 EST in the comment section as some of the top players in the state try to earn offers to Nike’s The Opening -- the premier showcase event in college football recruiting.

I’ve bolded some of the players I recognize from the list as having offers from FBS schools, and plenty more will surely emerge.

I covered the quarterback group thoroughly on Friday, coming away thinking that the group was good, but not great. Apparently they were better Sunday, because both Deondre Francois and De’Andre Johnson took home invites to The Opening and the Elite 11 Finals. Francois is uncommitted, though I think Florida has a very good shot with him. Johnson is a Florida State commitment. I did not watch the quarterbacks closely Saturday because I was spending more time on other groups who did not have a specialized camp on Friday.

The running back group was very good, with several elite prospects and a number of other FBS level players.
