2022: TOP 100 – Cornerbacks Take Center Stage

At first look, the Class of 2022 is stacked at so many positions. As is the case in Florida, receivers and defensive backs always are rated among the best in the country. Linemen, linebackers, running backs and quarterbacks also have filled collegiate rosters across the country for decades. Even special teams performers are starting to leave a mark. When it comes to producing cornerbacks, there are few areas that can boast such amazing talent. Talent so good that every year, a prospect from the Sunshine State makes a huge impact – whether it’s in college or at the professional level. As we continue to spotlight the 540 athletes that makeup our Updated Class of 2022 rankings, today we give you five elite cornerbacks who will be starting in some big-time college secondary over the next few years. Earl Little Jr., CB, 6-0 170, Plantation American Heritage. Having been following this impressive talent since his youth days, you know how skilled and talented this young man is.
