Taco Charlton attended the LA Nike Camp today, and by all accounts, put on an impressive performance. Here are a few tweets (paraphrased in plain English) from scouts, etc.
Scout's Director of Scouting, Scott Kennedy
Taco Charlton made his way to the LA Nike Camp, and he looks like one the best DE's here. Ready for one v. one drills.
Taco Charlton is 3-0 going against the #1 OL group. He and Joel Mathis [Scout's #8 DE in the country with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, Nebraska, ND, Oklahoma, USC] are DL MVPs on my board today.
Charlton finally got handled by the West's top OL Nico Falah [Scout's #3 OT in the country with offers from Florida, ND, Oregon, USC], but he then finished 2-0 against another of the West's best - Kenny Lacy [Scout's #15 OT with offers from Arkansas, Nebraska, most of the Pac 12 save USC and Oregon, WVU].

No one has come close to stopping Michigan DL commit Taco Charlton, blur off the edge.
Scout's National Recruiting Analyst, Brandon Huffman
Joe Mathis named DL MVP, Taco Charlton was probably #2 behind him.

(Charlton was) unblockable off the edge. And huge.

Sounds like Charlton is about to move up Scout's board and establish himself as another consesus 4 star.
That would leave Khalid Hill as the only Michigan commit outside not in their top 300.
Finally, we have an interview with Taco from Tremendous.

Great to see him kill it in front of Scout's top people. Maybe now they'll bump him to a 4*.
If I say a duck can pull a truck, shut up and hook the sucka up!
