Mathis is an absolute physical freak for an incoming freshman. He already holds a total of 9 offers, 4 from the SEC alone. He’s got good get off and shows twitch. Mathis should be a 5-star when it’s all said and done. I cannot wait to see how he grows and develops over these next 4 years.

Saunders received his first offer from Michigan back in early June. He’s got a pretty good arm as an incoming freshman and shows a high, tight, quick release with velocity. I am excited about what Saunders can do these next 4 years.
Had a great day of camp at Penn State. Thanks for having me @Coach_Yurcich @coachjfranklin @PennStateFball #Weare 🔵⚪️ pic.twitter.com/v2AdgOKEwa

Xxavier Thomas Xxavier Thomas 5'10" | 160 lbs | DB Pittsburgh Central Catholic | 2025 State PA I Cornerback I Pittsburgh Central Catholic
I saw Thomas at a camp and was really impressed by him. He showed to be physical at the line of scrimmage. Has good break and acceleration. He can drop his hips with receivers and turn and run with good speed. He held his own against 2024 rising star Peter Gonzalez Peter Gonzalez 6'3" | 200 lbs | WR Pittsburgh Central Catholic | 2024 State PA and almost had a pass breakup (wish he were taller). Thomas is obviously still growing and developing, but he could be one of the best DB’s in his class.
