BRADENTON, Fla. -- The rise of top 10 NFL Draft pick Evan Neal has been tied back to his roots at IMG Academy plenty over the last few years. The apex of his rise, at least socially, came on the viral split-leg box jump video post from last summer.
The next star lineman out of IMG Academy, Francis Mauigoa, called out the former Alabama standout in attempting to duplicate the move himself this spring, as a junior at the boarding school.
The class of 2023 prospect has about as many scholarship offers as Neal did when he was coming out of high school.
