The Rivals Underclassmen Challenge Presented by Under Armour is the premier high school football camp in America for juniors, sophomores and freshmen.

Only the best of the best will receive invitations to this year's camp on July 7 at DeSoto High School near Dallas, Texas.

Last year's inaugural camp produced memorial highlights and performances. The event included positional drills, one-on-one competitions, an OL/DL challenge and much more. Wide receiver KD Cannon from Mount Pleasant, Texas, was named MVP. He was called out by almost every defensive back at the camp, and he made them pay.

Centers were at the center of attention last year at the camp. Three true offensive center prospects who specifically stood out were Nacogdoches, Texas' Jacob Bragg, Woodbury (Minn.) East Ridge's J.C. Hassenauer and Connor Mayes from Van Alstyne, Texas.

Texas defensive backs also dazzled, led by Beaumont (Texas) Ozen's Tony Brown, who took home a well-deserved MVP honor for the position group. In all, six of the top eight defensive backs at the Challenge were from the state of Texas.

Rivals.com has long been the dominant source of recruiting information and coverage. With market-leader Under Armour now teaming with Rivals, the camps and the experience are going to become even better for players.

The Rivals Underclassmen Challenge Presented by Under Armour is the elite camp for juniors, sophomores and selected freshmen to display their skills. Last season players from all over the country -- 26 states had at least one player represented -- gathered to display their skills on the field.

The stars will come together once again this year. For those athletes lucky enough to receive an invitation, Dallas will be the place to shine.
