2021 RANKINGS UPDATE   With the early signing day completed we have updated our rankings and will take a look at the updated top 5 prospects. <ol> <li>DT [player_tooltip player_id="59291" first="Tyrion" last="Ingram-Dawkins"], Gaffney, 6’5, 298</li> </ol> Ingram-Dawkins signed with Georgia as expected and it is no surprise he is the top rated player with his blend of size, power, strength, and athleticism. He should be a force for Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs who we could see play early on. <ol start="2"> <li>DE [player_tooltip player_id="59292" first="Justus" last="Boone"], Sumter, 6’5, 250</li> </ol> Boone would be the top defensive linemen in many recruiting classes as he is a big, long prospect who can get to the quarterback and stop the run. He signed with Florida. <ol start="3"> <li>WR [player_tooltip player_id="59293" first="JJ" last="Jones"], Myrtle Beach, 6’3, 195</li> </ol> The North Carolina Tarheels signed Jones in the early period and he is quite the playmaker. He uses his size well and has strong hands to pluck the football in a jump ball situation. We expect him to be a star for Mack Brown in the coming years. <ol start="4"> <li>WR [player_tooltip player_id="59295" first="Ahmari" last="Huggins-Bruce"], Dillon, 5’10, 163</li> </ol> This was a tough decision because Huggins-Bruce could flip with Jones as he is just as talented but a different type of player. Huggins-Bruce is an explosive big-play threat who can take it to the house. He should be an impact player in Scott Satterfield’s offense where he signed. <ol start="5"> <li>WR [player_tooltip player_id="59294" first="Joshua" last="Burrell"], Blythewood, 6’2, 212</li> </ol> It sounds crazy to have a wide receiver in three of the top five spots but that’s just how stacked the group is in South Carolina. Burrell signed with Florida State and should become a very good big body target for the Seminoles.
