Some of the best student athletes in the state were on display at the Passing Down Best of the West 7on7 tournament at Fullerton College on Sunday. All 12 teams in attendance were loaded with talent. Every contest was highly competitive. When it was all said and done, Body By Tra, featuring Monrovia's Kurt Scoby, Upland's Tyler Hilinski and Culver City's Stanley Norman, took home the title.

Yesterday marked the first day of the NCAA evaluation period. Until May 31st, college coaches and recruiters have their schedules set. For many top BSC programs, a necessary first-stop was Freedom High School in Oakley, California.

Joe Mixon leads a healthy class of 2014 recruits as one of the nation's most coveted running backs. Mixon shared his experience from Day 1 of the evaluation period, as schools from near and far checked in for a visit.

There's track speed, and then there's football speed. On the track, 2014 recruit Joe Mixon runs a personal best 10.92 in the 100M, but when you see him in pads it makes you ask yourself whether or not he's faster on the field.

Mixon has a nose for the endzone and gets there by any means necessary with the ball in his grasp. CLA spoke with the nation's top high school running back who currently holds 38 official scholarship offers.

"The ones I was most excited about were Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Florida State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, USC and UCLA," Mixon told CLA Sports.

Running back Joe Mixon of Freedom High School (Calif.) has been one of the hottest names recently and for good reason. The 2014 graduate took to the Army All-American combine over the weekend and impressed everyone that saw him.

Measuring at 6-foot-1 and 201 lbs., Mixon ran a 4.68 40-yard dash and jumped 33 inches on his vertical. His performance paid off as he received another offer, this time from Utah.
