Friday marks Day 2 of Overtime's inaugural OT7 League, which means that over 100 future Power Five football players will battle it out in the middle of the Mojave Desert with the bright lights from Las Vegas' casinos and hotels serving as a picturesque backdrop.
On night one of competition, it was five-star quarterback Dante Moore who put on a show for Cam Newton's C1N squad. Other standouts included: Oregon wide receiver commit Jurrion Dickey, wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane, linebacker Tausili Akana and cornerback Charles Lester III.
We're eager to see what Moore does Friday (after all, multiple College Football Playoff contenders are pushing), but we're also excited about the arrival of two more blue-chip quarterbacks: Tennessee commit Nicholaus Iamaleava and Jaden Rashada (considering Florida, LSU, Texas, Ole Miss and others) as both soon-to-be seniors weren't present Thursday due to travel delays. Also arriving Friday is the nation's No. 1-ranked cornerback, Cormani McClain. He too had issues with airlines, but is expected to be a full go Friday for the South Florida Express.
USC five-star quarterback commit Malachi Nelson, five-star running back Rueben Owens, Alabama five-star cornerback commit Jahlil Hurley, five-star wideouts Carnell Tate, Jalen Brown and Brandon Inniss, Miami wide receiver commit Robby Washington and Tennessee tight end commit Ethan Davis are some of the headliners set to participate.
Friday night's games will start at 6:30 p.m. PT and run until 10 p.m. PT with each of the 18 teams getting two games in a pool play format of sorts.
