Armella has just wrapped up his freshman season but already the 2022 offensive tackle is making a huge statement on the national scene and he did just that at the Rivals 3 Stripe Camp presented by adidas in Miami. A Florida State legacy, Armella led an impressive group of older offensive lineman by not only winning the position MVP award but establishing himself as one of the best 2022 offensive linemen in the country. He doesn’t shy away from playing with toughness and a nasty streak and that’s impressive since he’s so young. Auburn, Florida State, Michigan, Oregon and many others have already offered.

Herard showed up at the Rivals adizero Combine in Miami without an invite to camp the following day but following a solid showing during testing he was invited back for Sunday’s camp. Then Herard went and earned defensive back MVPs with a solid performance there. The Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Stranahan standout has not been ranked yet and he entered the camp weekend with only an offer from Toledo but he has since landed Rutgers, Columbia, Cornell and Dartmouth. It would be no surprise if Herard, who transferred to Stranahan from Everglades, keeps landing offers through the offseason.
