He's an active difference-maker in the passing game from both WR/CB spots and a threat to to score six any time he touches the ball. He combines speed, twitch, and burst in coverage with the instincts and ball-skills to produce timely turnovers. Bryant adds to a talented 2023 class for Washington with 5 ranked CBs signed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/UW_Football/status/1605596756607406080?s=20u0026amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/UW_Football/status/1605596756607406080?s=20&amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["261717"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63edfb66363ed"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cox was the most impactful player in one of the best secondaries and overall defenses in the state. He's a highly versatile DB that can fill multiple roles in coverage and the run game with a physical, athletic style of play. He's a high-level defender in man coverage that can dominate 1v1 matchups over slots and TEs. He's a violent tackler that could earn significant playing time early in his career at ASU with his level of physical skillset. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KUSIPPR/status/1605792323576598528?s=20u0026amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KUSIPPR/status/1605792323576598528?s=20&amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384704"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63edfb6636439"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown's a highly talented two-way player that picked up 9 D-I offers in 2022 before flipping his commitment from Arizona to Michigan St. in late December. He's a long, lanky defender on the perimeter with a valuable man-coverage skillset that should translate well at the next level. He's fluid and physical in press coverage and can smother receivers with his length. Brown joins a Top-25 signing class in East Lansing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MSU_Football/status/1605582367044706304?s=20u0026amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MSU_Football/status/1605582367044706304?s=20&amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["190352"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63edfb6636483"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Napier provides valuable production and versatility as a WR/DB/KR. He's a crafty receiver in the shallow area that can separate out of his break and catch in traffic over the middle of the field. On defense, he's a dynamic middle-field safety with sideline-to-sideline range. Napier accumulated five P-5 offers before committing and signing with SDSU. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AztecFB/status/1605596780640567300?s=20u0026amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AztecFB/status/1605596780640567300?s=20&amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["261787"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63edfb66364cb"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boyd flew under the radar as a DB prospect before picking up late-season offers from Portland St., Southern Utah, and Cal Poly in November. He's a technical cover-corner that operated primarily in press-man at Pittsburg. He uses his length to disrupt passing lanes and flies to the football when closing space. Boyd committed to Cal Poly in late January.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Budha_Boyd/status/1620211899832078338?s=20u0026amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Budha_Boyd/status/1620211899832078338?s=20&amp;t=lxYSD8b2Hls6MDI4a7863Q </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
