The headliner at linebacker for Team Black this week is Manti Te'o, the five-star weakside backer from Punahou in Hawaii. The two times he's played on the mainland in his prep career, Te'o has shined.
When we saw him earlier this year at the Emerald City Kickoff Classic, he was the best player on the field, hands down and showed why he's the top-ranked weakside backer in the country. Te'o has visited Notre Dame and UCLA and will visit BYU, USC and Stanford in January.
Another outside linebacker for Team Black is Dexter Moody, a versatile backer who can both cover and stuff the run. A longtime commit to Georgia, Moody is one of the more athletic players on the Team Black roster.
The Oklahoma Sooners will be well represented at linebacker on Team Black with two future Sooners on the roster.
Oklahoma native Ronnell Lewis, the #6-ranked strongside backer, will be the lone representative from the Sooner State and he's one of the players we're eager to see this week.
Tom Wort, from New Braunfels, Texas, is headed up to play at Oklahoma and he'll flank his future Sooner teammate Lewis at linebacker.
The marquee name for Team White is do-everything backer Jelani Jenkins from Maryland. One of the premier prospects nationally, at any position, Jenkins is being pursued by just about everyone.
While he may be undersized, Frankie Telfort, the, 5-11, 205-pound backer from Gulliver Prep, will be repping the homestate for Team White. One of the most athletic players in the Sunshine State, Telfort is looking at Florida, USC and Stanford the most seriously.
Clemson commit Eric Fields is one of the better sideline-to-sideline backers in the country. Last year, Clemson freshman Daquan Bowers was the top player all week, and Fields wouldn't mind keeping that tradition going.
Rounding out the linebackers is 6-1, 248-pound linebacker Petey Smith. Smith has interest from all over the Southeast, but he's down to Iron Bowl rivals, Auburn and Alabama.
