Today, I’ll be going over four defensive backs that have been putting in excellent work and have posted it on Twitter. Now, here are four athletes putting in the extra offseason effort.
Jacob Oden Jacob Oden 6'0" | 185 lbs | DB Harper Woods | 2024 State MI – Harper Woods – 6’0″ 185
Are we surprised? No. Impressed? Always. Oden is one of our elite prospects, and he’s been balling at some of the best camps in the country. The array of skills he holds and the level of consistent work he puts into his craft keep him at the very top. This is a kid who knows football and loves football, and he’ll be playing on an elite Power-5 program with the chance of playing on Sundays one day.
Jamir Benjamin Jamir Benjamin 5'10" | 175 lbs | DB West Bloomfield | 2024 State MI – West Bloomfield – 5’10″ 175
Likewise to Oden, Jamir Benjamin Jamir Benjamin 5'10" | 175 lbs | DB West Bloomfield | 2024 State MI is an elite talent who attends some of the best camps. The video below demonstrates Benjamin’s elite balance and footwork during 1 on 1 competition.
Another of the West Bloomfield standouts from yesterday was 2024 CB Jamir Benjamin who did well in the 1-1s. https://t.co/VMnkLtw8xh pic.twitter.com/DIVSVhoIqr

Wendell Smith Wendell Smith 6'0" | 160 lbs | DB Pershing | 2024 State MI – Pershing – 6’0″ 160
Attending camps, 7 on 7, etc., Wendell Smith Wendell Smith 6'0" | 160 lbs | DB Pershing | 2024 State MI did his part in solidifying his ranking. I could say the same for Wendell as I did those above, but one unique thing about Wendell is that he spent some time training in Florida this offseason. Another great DB with Power 5 potential, Wendell Smith Wendell Smith 6'0" | 160 lbs | DB Pershing | 2024 State MI , stays one of the best corners in Michigan.
Desman Stephens II Desman Stephens II 6'2" | 205 lbs | DB Clarkston | 2024 State MI – Clarkston – 6’3″ 200
Having just attended the Under Armour All-American Camp, Desman Stephens is a great DB who deserves a rankings bump. I love his 2021 film, and his social media highlights a few instances of excellent offseason work. I have a real good feeling about this prospect out of Clarkston, and he could surely rise even more in the coming years.
