Bryant’s a supremely gifted athlete that possesses ability to produce explosive plays in a variety of ways. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
