Quarterback Travis Lockhart from Arizona's Hamilton High School threw for 2,832 yards and 27 touchdowns his senior season, per MaxPreps, and showed in this video from Under the Lights he can air out the deep ball:

The tallest wide receiver target Lockhart and the other North quarterbacks will be throwing to is Foxcroft (Maine) Academy's Hunter Smith. The 6'4", 180-pound receiver was invited to play in the game despite missing his entire senior season with a dislocated hip. He has recovered in time and is able to play in the game, per Ernie Clark of the Bangor Daily News.

"It's going to be some crazy competition with some crazy good football players," said Smith. "It's like nothing I've ever seen before, so I'm just going to go as hard as I can and hopefully compete with these guys."

Here are some highlights from his sophomore and junior seasons that show, even at a young age, he has the potential to be a Division I wideout, per this YouTube video, courtesy of Smith:

On the defensive side of the ball, the South squad will have to deal with linebacker Damon Wiley from California's perennial power, De La Salle High School. Wiley, who played defensive end and linebacker at De La Salle, recorded 84 total tackles—21 for a loss—and 11 sacks during his senior season.

The video below from IGRSports shows just how quick Wiley's first step is and why he gives opposing offenses such trouble:

The South will have plenty of talent on the field as well. Here's a look at the roster and some highlight videos.

Zeke McGaughy will be one of the ball-carriers in the backfield for South after a season that saw him rack up 897 yards and eight touchdowns in just eight games.

Check out this video from NFHS Network that shows the 5'8", 200-pound back could break tackles with the best of them even as a freshman:

One of the quarterbacks who could be handing the ball off to McGaughy—but most likely airing it out 50-plus yards when he can—is Jonesboro (Georgia) High School's Zerrick Cooper.

The 6'4", 207-pounder will be the game's biggest quarterback—both in height and weight—and has a versatile game.

In his highlight video, via MaxPreps, Cooper makes accurate passes of more than 50 yards look easy while making tackling him look like a chore:

One of the more talented defensive backs in the game will be Admiral Farragut Academy's (Florida) Craig Watts. He is rated as a 4-star cornerback by 247Sports with offers from 41 Division I schools, including Alabama, Florida and Florida State.

However, as of Saturday morning, 247Sports' Crystal Ball predictor has Watts ending up at either North Carolina or Ohio State. In this video from PrepForce.com, you can see why his speed, ball-hawking skills and versatility make him a sought-after D-I prospect:

It should be an entertaining day on the gridiron for these D-I hopefuls who are looking to make a name for themselves as they work on taking their games to the next level.
