With an exceptionally talented year in the state of North and South Carolina, the fourth annual VTO Sports Elite 100 camp this Saturday is expected to be the most impressive yet.

Led by arguably the most heralded prospects in each state in Matthews (N.C.) Butler quarterback Christian Lemay, Wadesboro (N.C.) Anson linebacker Stephone Anthony, and Rock Hill (S.C.) South Pointe defensive end Jadaveon Clowney, the chance to compete against elite players should drive the competition throughout the day.

While Lemay may get most of the press for this quarterback group, he will be joined by Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek signal-caller Marquis Williams, who will be throwing on his home turf, Clemson commitment Tony McNeal from Chester (S.C.), Durham (N.C.) Hillside athlete Vad Lee whose junior quarterback film showed marked improvement, and Rock Hill (S.C.) Northwestern quarterback Justin Worley who was named national sophomore player of the year two years ago.

They will be throwing to an almost equally talented group of receivers who hold a slew of offers as well including Waxhaw (N.C.) Marvin Ridge wide receiver K.J. Brent, Charlotte (N.C.) Independence wideout and Virginia commitment Adrian Gamble, Monroe (N.C.) athlete and kick return specialist Jamison Crowder, Charlotte (N.C.) Latin receiver Matthias Farley, and Eden (N.C.) Morehead sleeper A.J. Artis.

The tight end group may have even bigger names than the wide receivers with three of the nation's best expected to sort out who is the best. Greensboro (N.C.) Smith tight end and North Carolina commitment Eric Ebron, Fayetteville (N.C.) Jack Britt jumbo athlete Eric MacLain, and Charlotte (N.C.) Ardry Kell tight end Drew Owens are all well into the double-digits with their offer count.

Running backs Jalen Simmons, a Duke commitment from Charlotte (N.C.) West Charlotte, Nyjee Flemming out of Charlotte (N.C.) Independence, and Justus Pickett out of Charlotte (N.C.) Ardry Kell plan to show why they, too, have have so many early offers.

Defensively, even more of the nation's best will be working hard all day, and the tight end/running back group will have their hands full with the linebacking group headlined by Anthony and Matthews (N.C.) Butler linebacker Kris Frost who should end up as one of the top ten prospects from North Carolina by the end of the year.

The defensive backs were strengthened by the recent registration of Greenville (S.C.) J.L. Mann safety Pat Martin, who just added an offer from LSU. Wadesboro (N.C.) Anson safety Brandon Ellerbe, a Clemson soft verbal, and Matthews (N.C.) Butler cornerback Mark Bridges are two more players to keep an eye on in the drills.

With the addition of Clowney, it appears as though the defensive line is the deepest of all positions as defensive ends Roderick Byers from Rock Hill (S.C.) Northwestern and Kyler Brown from Charlotte (N.C.) Christian combine with defensive tackles Chris Manns from Winston Salem (N.C.) Mount Tabor, Shaun Underwood from Fuquay (N.C.) Fuquay-Varina, Gerald Dixon, Jr. from Rock Hill (S.C.) Northwestern, and Devonte Brown from Fayetteville (N.C.) Jack Britt.
