Wrapping Up The Rivals Challenge

Rivals hosted their first ever Rivals100 Challenge this weekend in Atlanta.  Caleb Brantley was the only Florida commit that was at the camp.  Rivals ranked the best defensive lineman for the weekend($) and Brantley came in third.  Here is what they had to say about his performance:
The 6-foot-3, 302-pound Florida commit came to Atlanta with a chip on his shoulder. Brantley felt he had something to prove coming in to the Challenge and he made sure the offensive linemen would remember his name. He had an incredibly high motor and did not give up on the play, even when the offensive linemen got in a good punch early. He won most of his 1-on-1 reps and really showed a competitive spirit. The nation's No. 8 defensive tackle was certainly one of the best at his position on Saturday.
While Brantley was the only Gator commit, there were a couple other targets including safety Leon McQuay III.  Rivals listed McQuay as having the third-best performance($) amongst all defensive backs:
McQuay arrived to Atlanta late Friday night, just came off a two-day team camp and normally plays safety. But he showed how talented he is in coverage during the one-on-one drills. The four-star standout has special athleticism, stays in the hip pocket of receivers and competes for every ball thrown his way. Oklahoma running back commit Greg Bryant was the only one to catch a pass on him all day.
