Sunday's Under Armour All-America Camp featured a group of Ohio State commits, a trio of uncommitted five-star prospects and a handful of Buckeye targets and hopefuls.
Check out some of the sights and sounds from the football field at Fortress Obetz in the gallery above and the videos below:
C.J. Hicks
Ohio State linebacker commit C.J. Hicks was recently bumped to a five-star prospect, nearly one year after he exploded with an MVP performance at last year's Elite Underclassmen Camp in Obetz, Ohio. That performance put him on the map as a national recruit.
Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough, who recently moved from Kansas to Indiana upon his father taking the job as the Hoosiers' running backs coach, made his first visit to Columbus this weekend since he committed to the Buckeyes.
Gonna be some fun battles between these three down the road in the Big Ten.

Gabe Powers
The second linebacker to commit to the Buckeyes in the 2022 class was Gabe Powers. Ever since his August 1 commitment last year, the Marysville prospect has been on a mass-building meal plan and has noticeably gotten bigger.

Tegra Tshabola
Offensive line commit Tegra Tshabola did not have a great showing at last year's Obetz-hosted camp, but this time around he was noticeably better, including having trimmed his weight down.

Jyaire Brown
Despite a tragedy in his family, Ohio State cornerback commit Jyaire Brown took the time to compete on Saturday and displayed physicality during one-on-one drills between receivers and defensive backs.

Brenan Vernon
Mentor's Brenan Vernon is the No. 1-ranked prospect in Ohio in the 2023 class. He was recently rated as a five-star player in the first composite rankings of the cycle, which includes the rising junior being ranked No. 9 overall and No. 2 at strongside defensive end.

Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles is already a five-star prospect ranked No. 23 overall and No. 1 at safety in 2023. He is only going to get better from here, and his physicality was on display Sunday.

Josh Padilla
Wayne High School's Josh Padilla became the fourth in-state player to be offered by the Buckeyes in the 2023 cycle. The interior offensive line prospect will see himself become a top-150 level player when the next rankings are released.

Delian Bradley
Delian Bradley is a player the Buckeyes really like in the 2022 class as either a safety or a slot cornerback. The Springfield, Ohio product is set for a workout this summer in which he will be evaluated by the Buckeyes' coaching staff.
Alford, McCullough
Ohio State running backs coach Tony Alford and Indiana running backs coach Deland McCullough, the father of Dasan McCullough and Buckeye target Daeh McCullough, were on hand at the camp to watch their sons perform.
