Live Updates from Navy All-American Bowl Practice

10:39 a.m. CT: (West) Texas Tech defensive back signee S’Vioarean Martin looks tremendous. Tall, long with an excellent frame. Ohio State receiver signee Jerquaden Guilford tracks the ball very easily. Routes on air portion is easy for him. — Cody Bellaire, Rivals National Scout

10:35 a.m. CT: (East) Strong arm from Michigan 2027 QB commit Peter Bourque in routes on air. Tangible zip on his passes. Also like how 2027 QB Will Mencl is throwing it; coming off a 50 TD junior season. — Charles Power, Rivals Director of Scouting and Rankings

10:18 a.m. CT: (East) Tennessee five-star WR signee Tristen Keys isn’t dressed out. He’s been in and out of action dating back to the fall with injuries. — Charles Power, Rivals Director of Scouting and Rankings

10:13 a.m. CT: (West) The Mater Dei pass-catchers look legit from a physical perspective. Ohio State signee Chris Henry Jr. is extremely long and USC signee Kayden Dixon-Wyatt is rocked up. — Cody Bellaire, Rivals National Scout

10:10 a.m. CT: (West) Of the offensive linemen on the West, Michigan signee Malakai Lee looks outstanding. No bad weight, big and strong at left guard. Not enrolling early but happy with the Whittingham hire. — Adam Gorney, National Recruiting Reporter
