College coaches were out in full force on Friday for the Mega-Camp at Lindenwood University in St. Charles (MO), including a contingent of coaches from Illinois.

Our top performer at the camp was three-star defensive end Moses Okpala from Ladue (MO) Horton-Watkins.

Okpala updates his recruitment in this story from Orange and Blue News. We also list other standouts from the camp.

Okpala entered the camp as one of the hottest recruits in the Midwest over the off season, with 17 offers now on the table.

A long athlete at 6-foot-7 and over 250 pounds, Okpala doesn't need to camp to get the attention of college scouts, but he wanted the opportunity to compete.

"I wanted to see the competition, ball out, and show them who's boss," Okpala said.

He did just that, dominating the one-on-one pass rush drills. It was a padded camp for big men, so Okpala got to show his physicality as well as his athleticism.

Okpala said schools recruiting him the hardest includ Illinois, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Cal, Minnesota, and Iowa State. Other offers are from Arkansas, Michigan State, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.

While he appreciates all of the attention from college coaches, Okpalas said it can be bit too much at times.

"There's a lot going on (with recruiting), "Okpala said. "It's a blessing, but sometimes its overwhelming."

Illinois offered Okpala earlier this year and had him on campus for a visit in the spring. He's being recruited by assistants Austin Clark and Cory Patterson, and both coaches were at the Lindenwood camp to watch him.

He isn't ready to make it public, but Okpala has a list of schools that he likes the most. Illinois is among that group.

"It's going great with Illinois," Okpala said. "I like them a lot. I'm looking into them. I haven't decided anything yet, but they are one of my top 10."

Colleges coaches love Okpala's upside. He's raw, but has rapidly improved and is a physical specimen with a long wing-span.

Oringially from Nigeria, Okpala just moved to the U.S. three years ago, so he's still getting acclimated to the game of football.

"I have played two years of varsity football," Okpala said. "I used to play soccer, then I started playing basketball. All my life I've played soccer."
