He will be followed by LSU coach Brian Kelly and players Jayden Daniels, Josh Williams and Mekhi Wingo in the first session.

The afternoon session will feature Texas A&M with coach Jimbo Fisher and players Fadil Diggs, McKinnley Jackson and Ainias Smith and Missouri with coach Eliah Drinkwitz and players Kris Abrams-Draine, Javon Foster and Darius Robinson.
