Florida Gators recruiting targets test numbers at the Opening

The Opening took place last weekend in Beaverton, Oregon where the 166 players in the country participated in the three-day event that included the Sparq challenge and a 7-on-7 tournament.

The Sparq challenge measures your forty-yard dash time, how far you throw the powerball, the vertical jump and the shuttle run.

All of those numbers are factored into your height and weight to give you a ratings score and several of the Florida Gators recruiting targets did well.

Gator Country brings you a look at how the Gators targets did out in Oregon last weekend during the Sparq challenge.
