    Kissimmee, Fla. — Monday marked the start of the Under Armour All-America Game practice week, and Louisiana prospects and LSU targets didn't disappoint. It's the who's-who of recruits and much like last year, Louisiana prospects more than held their own.

    Warren Easton wide receiver Tyron Johnson once again proved that he is a five-star prospect. He was consistently matched up against top-level cornerbacks, but you honestly couldn't tell as he appears to be on a different level. He gained separation on every one-on-one rep he had and when the ball was delivered in his catch radius he reeled it in with ease. Johnson is extremely shifty and does a tremendous job setting up defenders with shoulder fakes and jab steps.

    LSU cornerback commitment Kevin Toliver has made a habit of locking down highly rated receivers at nearly every event he attends and Monday was no different. During 7-on-7's and 1-on-1's Toliver was often matched up against one of the nation's premier receivers inDemarkus Lodge of Texas. Toliver won every rep and during the 10 or so plays I witnessed, Lodge wasn't able to catch one ball. With that said, Toliver is extremely aggressive and at times today got caught biting on double moves.

    Tiger fans should be extremely excited about offensive lineman commitmentMaea Teuhema. It's obvious when talking to him that he is locked into LSU. It's also obvious that he is a man playing a child's game. On numerous occasions during the practice Teuhema stoned defenders with an all-world punch. He doesn't have tremendous length for a tackle prospect, standing just shy of 6-feet-4, but he has great feet, is extremely strong and has a mean streak. He is extremely wide, with very little bad weight making up his 340 lbs.

    Texas offensive lineman Toby Weathersby named LSU in his top three and after watching him today, Tiger fans should pay attention to this one because he can flat out play. He may move inside to guard at the next level as his best attributes are made for the running game. He struggled a bit in pass protection during 1-on-1's.

    South Carolina defensive end commitment and LSU target Arden Keyhas a lot of upside. He is rail thin, but has tremendous length so adding weight shouldn't be too big of a problem. Key is very quick off the ball and has some counter-moves when his initial pass rush is stalled.

    Patterson wide receiver Daylon Charlotwas on hand today, after missing registration and the time set aside for media. He worked primarily as a slot receiver and looked very comfortable doing so. He is pretty fluid and beat his defender more times than not. After practice Charlot pulled a David Copperfield and disappeared, frustrating reporters that have yet to verify his decommitment from Alabama.

    At 6-foot-4, and nearly 200 pounds, former Louisiana resident Brandon Martin catches your eye as soon as he steps on the field, but looks even better once football activities start. He was surprisingly polished, considering the level of competition he plays at the Prime Prep in Dallas. He got out of his breaks very well for a bigger receiver and is pretty physical. There are some concerns about his academic status, but very few questions should remain about his ability as a prospect.
