The field featured several blue-chip recruits in the 2026, 2027, and even 2028 classes so far. Included in this weekend's field was players committed to Georgia, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Iowa State, Rutgers, Penn State, and more.
Here's a look at the Day 1 top performers -- and here are the 10 top performers from the entire two-day span of Week 4 action at OT7 from Dallas College's Mountain View campus headlined by Rivals MVP Joey O'Brien.
1. FOUR-STAR SAFETY JOEY O'BRIEN
Joey O'Brien was a runaway Day 1 MVP at OT7 on Saturday -- and continued his outstanding run in coverage again to close out the weekend. The four-star SAF came up with five interceptions on Day 1 and added a sixth on Sunday. Four of O'Brien's picks were returned for scores this weekend.

O'Brien also accounted for several more big plays in coverage -- covering a ton of real estate at 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds. He's rangy and long and consistency puts himself around the ball. He plays with a sixth sense and was a game-breaking MVP during Week 4's action.
2. FOUR-STAR SLOT WR VANCE SPAFFORD (GEORGIA COMMIT)
Vance Spafford was among the leaders in receptions after two days in Dallas. The top-40 prospect from California also ranked in the tops in touchdown catches and was proficient working underneath and in the middle of the field. Rivals' No. 2 SLOT has strong hands and catches everything thrown in his direction. Spafford is electric with the ball in his hands and has a propensity to get open -- and do in consistently. The Georgia verbal showed some real toughness making several catches through contact in the end zone.
3. FOUR-STAR WR JABARI MACK (LSU COMMIT)
Elite WR Jabari Mack was a regular source of big plays through the weekend. The four-star prospect from The Boot consistently got open and was targeted often -- and came away with difficult grabs showcasing his catch radius and ability to get up and win in contested-catch situations. Mack is an explosive route-runner and dangerous with the ball in his air. The top-100 WR committed to LSU has enjoyed a very productive off-season, including strong showings both weekends at OT7.
4. FOUR-STAR TE MARK BOWMAN
Elite TE Mark Bowman moved at a different speed than other pass-catchers of his stature. The top-30 prospect from California is very gifted winning 50-50 balls and also maneuvering in the middle of the field. Bowman catches everything thrown in his direction and is strong working in the middle of the field and in one-on-one coverage. The four-star TE is a crisp route-runner that can also stretch the field and play above the rim by end zone.
5. FOUR-STAR WR KEEYUN CHAPMAN
Keeyun Chapman is a difference-maker working on the outside. The big-framed multi-sport athlete was reliable moving the sticks and working downfield. A possession receiver for Landon Duckworth -- his high school teammate at Jackson (Ala.) High -- Chapman was the source of multiple touchdowns. His size presents major mismatches for defenders in coverage and he has plus-ball skills.
6. FOUR-STAR ATH SALESI MOA
Four-star ATH Salesi Moa was dynamic working on both sides of the ball -- as one of the top targets for five-star QB Ryder Lyons and also in coverage during the two days of competition. Moa was outstanding stretching the field and separating in the short area and on routes downfield. He was also good working after the catch. The coveted ATH from Utah also orchestrated a wild two-minute stretch on Day 1 -- scoring two touchdowns and also had a pick-six before halftime of a game on Saturday.
7. FOUR-STAR SLOT WR MYLES MCAFEE (2027)
Myles McAfee was one of the most productive pass-catchers on the Week 4 slate. The four-star WR from Maryland was a favorite target for Gavin Sidwar. McAfee consistently found holes in the defense and was sure-handed and able to turn and run for chunk gains. He brings an electric skill-set to the SLOT with the propensity to make plays at multiple levels of the field.
8. FOUR-STAR SLOT WR TRENTON YANCEY (2027)
Four-star SLOT receiver Trenton Yancey was constantly moving the sticks and operating with purpose in the middle of the field. Yancey is extremely sure-handed and dynamic in even the smallest glimpses of daylight. The top-15 recruit in the 2027 cycle out of Texas is also quick to navigate downfield and capable of making plays at multiple levels of the field.
9. THREE-STAR WR ELIAS COKE (RUTGERS COMMIT)
2026 three-star WR Elias Coke came away with several highlight grabs over the course of the weekend -- none bigger than the game-winning reception downfield in overtime on Day 2 of action. The Rutgers verbal out of Pennsylvania was excellent operating down the sideline and making catches through contact. Coke showed strong hands throughout Week 4 and was a huge big-spark play on offense.
10. FOUR-STAR SAF JETT WASHINGTON
Jett Washington consistently found himself around the football -- and was among the leaders in interceptions after the two-day stretch of competition in Dallas. On the field, the top-100 SAF is known for his physical presence. In this setting, the four-star prospect showed his range and coverage skills -- and how easily and instinctively he operates in his 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame. The multi-sport standout is an innate playmaker that showed up big time this weekend.
ADDITIONAL NOTES FROM OT7 WEEK 4:
--Texas QB commit Dia Bell was surgical working the short-passing game. The top-100 passer from South Florida throws with great timing and anticipation -- was on-point throughout the two-day stretch with a very strong Day 2 of work to close out the competition.

--Four-star QB Luke Fahey was excellent distributing the football to his array of blue-chip pass-catchers. Fahey was consistently on-time and on-point, and able to effectively go through his reads and churn out good decision after good decision. He had a very strong two days of work.
--Four-star 2027 WR Easton Royal was in the "just missed" category on Day 2 and continued to make plays on both offense and defense throughout the weekend of action. Royal is a big-play spark capable of getting behind defenders over the top or making them miss in the open field. Royal also snaps at a NICKEL defender and moved well laterally and in coverage.
--Four-star QB Gavin Sidwar was another player in the mix for top performers both days. The Pennsylvania passer showed great timing and ball placement with his cast of receivers and was excellent fitting throws into tight windows and keeping touch on some of his deep-ball throws.
--Four-star LB Anthony Davis covers a ton of real estate from sideline to sideline on Friday nights, but on Saturday and Sunday in the 7-on-7 setting was constantly sniffing out passes and getting his hands on passes in coverage. Davis moves well as a linebacker and has fantastic football instincts.
--Four-star SAF Jordan Smith is physically imposing and moves at a different speed working over the top at FREE. The South Georgia blue-chipper has excellent range and can close on passes in a hurry. Smith flies around on the field and sets the tempo with his play-style.

Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman is day-to-day after tweaking right ankle
Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman tweaked his right ankle this week and is day-to-day. It's the same ankle that landed Edman on the injured list a month ago after he hurt it in a game against Miami. Edman wasn't in the starting lineup for the second straight day Wednesday against the New York Mets. He entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning Tuesday night. 'The ankle got a little sore,' manager Dave Roberts said. 'We want to make sure that we're doing everything we can so it doesn't get worse.' Roberts said Edman's sore ankle is affecting his lateral movement and it could be a few days before the team makes any decision about a possible move to the injured list. Edman was chosen MVP of the 2024 National League Championship Series, when he had 11 hits and drove in 11 runs as the Dodgers beat the Mets in six games to reach the World Series. ___ AP MLB: recommended in this topic

LeBron James Takes Shot at ESPN NBA Insider Brian Windhorst
LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and we could be seeing the beginning of a lucrative post-basketball career as well. James and Steve Nash celebrated the success of their "Mind the Game" podcast on Tuesday, and pointed some criticism at a reporter who's been linked to James throughout his entire career. Advertisement The "Mind the Game" podcast posted a video of ESPN's Brian Windhorst calling out James and Nash for focusing strictly on the strategic aspects of basketball. "When people talk about the game of basketball, they want to talk about the drama," Windhorst said. "If you do a full show that's all X's and O's, that's not gonna be any good either. If [LeBron] sits down with Steve Nash and all he does is X's and O's, people aren't going to like that either." The video pointed out several comments from fans who appreciated a more serious and measured approach to basketball discussion, straying from the hot take-driven debate shows that dominate ESPN's airtime. "Mind the Game" also cited some impressive viewership numbers, with two recent episodes ranking in the top ten among trending content on YouTube. Advertisement Season two of the podcast has over 16 million views and counting, and the most recent episode with James' teammate Luka Doncic has nearly two million views in just two days. "Long ways from being done!!," James said, sharing the video and promoting the show. "Sucks they have to listen to 2 guys who know nothing about basketball talk about basketball! Sorry Steve," James said sarcastically. Between them, James and Nash have combined for four league MVP awards and nearly 30 All-Star appearances. James is a four-time NBA champion, while Nash is the only player in NBA history to record four 50-40-90 seasons - a hallmark of shooting efficiency. Advertisement The show was originally hosted by James and J.J. Redick, prior to Redick accepting the Lakers' head coaching job. Nash took over for season two, adding his experience as an elite player and for two seasons as a head coach with the Brooklyn Nets. As current and former athletes continue to establish their own media platforms, we'll see if fans continue to choose legacy platforms like ESPN when they seek analysis and a deeper understanding of the game.
