Many of Orange County’s top high school football recruits in the class of 2016 are expected to participate Sunday in the Nike Football Opening Regional at Redondo High in Redondo Beach.

The half-day event, formerly known as the Nike Football Training Camp, offers position-specific training along with drills and one-on-one competition.

The camp’s preliminary roster was packed with county prospects, including several quarterbacks.

Santa Margarita quarterback KJ Costello (6-5, 218), the county’s No. 1-ranked recruit for 2016, could be one of the recruits to watch Sunday along with Tesoro quarterback Devon Modster (6-2, 190).

Modster recently added offers from Washington State and UNLV, Titans coach Matt Poston said.

Costello’s new target, transfer receiver Dylan Crawford, was on the preliminary roster along with Mater Dei junior outside linebacker Curtis Robinson and Mater Dei offensive lineman Frank Martin.

Sunday’s event will be part of the selection process for Nike’s The Opening Finals in July in Oregon.
