The summer college football camp season comes to an end this week with Florida staging their annual Friday Night Lights Camp.

FNL, which can draw anywhere from 15 or more four and five star prospects, has long been considered one of the premiere college camps of the summer.

Even at an event such as this, for whatever reason, there's still a handful of prospects we are looking forward to seeing more than the others.

This week Inside the Gators will countdown the five prospects we most anticipate seeing on Friday night under the lights.

Competition: Auburn, Alabama & Florida State

Analyst Reaction: “Copeland was as impressive as ever at the New Orleans stop of the Rivals 3 Strip Camp Series. His calling card is his speed, but he has become a much more polished receiver in the last year. He has the type of solid size and acceleration that give him the potential to contribute to a major program right away.” – Rivals.com Southeast Analyst Rob Cassidy

The Bottom Line: At first it was Florida and Clemson, then it was Florida and Auburn and now it appears to be Florida and Alabama holding down the top two spots for Copeland. There is of course one common denominator in all of his combinations - that being the Gators. Beginning Wednesday, he will spend four days during his birthday weekend at Florida. Heading into the trip, it feels like the Tide may have taken a slight lead, but we'll revisit that after he spends several days in Gainesville.
