QB:
Alot will depend on if local stud Neimann Lawrence decides to re-classify to 2027. UM will supposedly make a heavy play, but it will be interesting how far we go with a HS QB when the portal model just seems to be the safer option if you have the means. Could see us taking 2 if one of them is Lawrence, as well. I will add his tape if he re-classifies but there is a handful of other names to know.

One of top names in nation. A bit raw, but quick release with whip-like arm strength. Commits to UM 4/3!
RB:
Color me shocked that all 5 RB stayed this offseason. UM adds new RB coach from Upshaw from the NFL. I think there’s a strong possibility we take two. Weak crop this year in Sofla and the whole state really.

Freakish size/speed combo. Mark Fletcher with another a gear. Near the top of UM’s board and we seem to be growing on him every day. 4/26 Update…UM finishes 2nd to Auburn. I imagine we try to change his mind, at least for a little while.

(ATH) 3 sport star (92+ off the mound and stud outfielder), and it seems if his offer is legit there is a great chance he is one of the two backs in this class. FSU/Aub/Ole Miss was the competition but the in-state Rebs were a little late to offer. Tall back with room to put on weight.

WR:
This, like corner, has been flooded with talent from both HS and the portal and is now a team strength. I’d say 3 is ehhh most likely but only 2 is a real possibility. Good local class, maybe not the best we’ve seen but definitely strong, lacks size, but we’ve recruited a lot of big X types last year.

Been making plays since he was a freshman and now making the move to Carol City although he will lose his QB, Lawrence. He is a pit bull in the Toney type, although taller with maybe less wiggle. 5* rated player.
Junior Highlights-2027
(ATH) Jon’s nephew has a 10.8 under his belt. At a relatively new high school, and although I’m not sure if he’s a WR/CB I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in this class. 9/26, recommits from RU.

TE:
We had thought to be recruiting position well, but lost Schott to portal and what’s been on the field is so-so. I think 2 is a little more likely than 1, but could be either and a lot depends on the development of Gilbert, Briggs, and Mueller. . New coach comes with a run blocking background.
https://www.hudl.com/profile/22537928/Demarcus-DeRoche UM Commit
(ATH). Local early commit with a Greg Rousseau type build, and raw growth trajectory. Supposedly up around 220 right now, so that’s a little bigger than Rousseau was this early. There is a chance he ends up at Edge as well, but I think he offense will be his first look and calling card.

OL:
Would expect 4 maybe 5 here, with a home run OT available locally. Off of big, excellent class last season wouldn’t be surprised if the number is 4. Tackle prospects, unless listed otherwise.

Hard to imagine CMC/Mirabal missing on a local stud at their specialty position, but recent info (late April) is saying TAMU (a team we beat in the playoffs, abusing their offensive line).

(G/T) One of the nation’s top interior OL. Former Bama commit, may be athletic enough for RT. Insane clips of dribbling the length of the court for a bucket in basketball. **Update de-commits 10/13
https://www.hudl.com/profile/19430705/Sean-Tatum UM Commit
(IOL) Canes land possibly the top interior prospect on there board. Athletic enough to possibly play some RT in a pinch but should have a chance to contribute early in his career at guard.
