ORLANDO, Fla. -- Sunday was check-in day for the Under Armour All-America game week. The game will be broadcast on ESPN 2 on Jan. 2 at 4 p.m. ET. There were several moments caught on camera during the day that were posted on social media. Here's a closer at the best sights and sounds from the players during check-in.
ESPN 300 defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko, a Texas Tech pledge, startled everyone in the room when he gave his native island of Hawaii some love in the following Vine video:

Five-star defensive end Byron Cowart showed up to the check-in carrying a "Chucky Doll." The doll, which started as a tradition at Florida with Dominique Easley and then Dante Fowler Jr., has now found its way to Cowart. For Florida State and Auburn fans, it wasn't a tip as to where he is leaning toward committing. Cowart also was sporting FSU shorts and later mentioned Auburn as a favorite in an interview.
