2024 Rankings Debuts: Defensive Backs

[player_tooltip player_id="284542" first="Bryce" last="West"] (Glenville) 5’11 180- West has been on the D1 recruiting radar since last offseason.  During his Sophomore West’s recruitment blew up with offers from the likes of Michigan State, Indiana, and Penn State.  This offseason he added Ohio State and Michigan.  West is a compact explosive corner.  He’s physical with wide receivers and he’s physical in the run game.  He plays with a little edge which I like.  Bryce will continue to add Power 5 offers this offseason as he continues to look narrow down his schools of choice.

As he continues to fill out and get stronger, I have no doubt that he’ll become much more of a presence in stopping the run.
