DT:
Big class 2 years ago, then 2 last year and those 2 weren’t really our top targets, with Simpson being young and more of a project type. 2 will be the minimum but with the portal give and take, and new roster limits, who knows? 3 is my best guess (I’m sure one may be a combo DE type that is expected to grow) with 4 not even out of the equation for Taylor/D.Lewis combo. I would expect this board to expand with D.Lewis now in the mix. As usual we will see some GA/Alabma kids listed here as those states really produce this position.

While it’s still too early for pecking order at this position, I think it’s safe to say this guy is near the top. Early commit but recent de-commit from Alabana but will be a tough pull though from the SEC powers.

(DL) Brother Tommy is an OL at UM whom we supposedly see as a starter at some point of his career, but he remains behind some pretty good players. This Kinsler started a DE prospect but now have to think inside as he just keeps growing. UM was on him really early and been involved for a while but now the early commit to TAMU

DE/Edge:
JT has cleaned up here the last 2 seasons, and for those who didn’t see the postseason stock of Hayden Lowe exploded and he ended up a high 4 and even 5 star on the sites. This board a little foggy in the early going, somewhat mirroring the rankings with some big national names but I’m sure it will expand.

UM on North Florida edge hard, and he’s rated among the top players in the state on every list. Pensacola never an easy pull for UM, but JT has been pulling em from everywhere.

West Coast analyst recently called UM the team to beat here for Cali stud. Very nice tape, showing a lot of versatility, Ala Trent Harris. Would be very happy if he hops on board.

Committed to home team, but most think that it’s just a matter of time the nation’s top edge (And on some lists TOP PLAYER) ends up with the big boys. Throw the kitchen sink.

LB:
I think 3 is a safe number here based on only 2 last season…I would not surprised to see attrition either way at the LB position after spring ball though. Hetherman now doubling as LB coach…He is originally from the Northeast, and his jobs have all been there or in the mid-atlantic before Minny. Board seems to still be developing with the coaching change.

(ATH) Committed since after his frosh year at Hialeah, now a 2 way standout at Carol City. Has played every position except DT on defense and also plays offense. Natural football player now up over 200 lbs.
https://www.hudl.com/profile/18939858/Karon-Maycock FSU Commit
Former safety now has grown into a LB and Jr. tape was impressive. Surpise UM commit as he was thought to be a UM lock, so maybe Derrick Gibson at Central already paying dividends as FSU tries to get back into their former stronghold.

UM continues to recruit the state of Alabama and they are on a few LB this year. Auburn commit but this is first year to transferring to Auburn high as he is originally from Mobile area.
