Some of the top recruits in the next two decades are playing football on weeknights.

A week after decommitting from auburn, Karmello English caught a pair of touchdown passes in a loss.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound English had committed to Bryan Harsin and the Tigers on July 4, only to reopen his recruitment a day later.

The Thomas County Central High School defeated Godby High School 48-13 on Friday. Less than a week after he went on his official visit toAuburn, the 5-11 and 175-pound receiver chose the school.

Isidore Newman School and Arch Manning lost their first games of the season on Friday.

Some of the nation's top recruits looked at something.

Quintessential Quinton

On Friday, Martin displayed some of the things that should make him a better recruit.

Martin's 96-yard punt return for a touchdown was the difference between the two teams.
