<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final DB rankings of the 2023 class have released! Here's some quick insight on five of the most highly-touted from the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='162652' first='Amare' last='Snowden'] | Wisconsin Commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Snowden has always been a top priority for Luke Fickell. Once a Cininnati commit, Amare has flipped to Winconsin, following Coach Fickell. His film shows lockdown coverage, elite athleticism, and playmaking ability. He can play any DB position on the field, and will have a chance to make a name for himself for a notoriously great BIG 10 defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/amare_snowden/status/1605638843880722432","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/amare_snowden/status/1605638843880722432 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='30325' first='Jameel' last='Croft'] | Kansas Commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a prospect that has been quicky rising the ranks in the past 6 months. Jameel is coming off an amazing senior season, in which he led a state-championship defense. Now, he'll be heading to Kansas, which whom have been pretty active in Michigan. I've snooped around Jayhawk social media here and there, and I see that the fanbase is extremely excited for Croft to arrive! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KU_Football/status/1605542856587759616","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/KU_Football/status/1605542856587759616 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='243426' first='Mychal' last='Yharbrough'] | Miami (OH) Commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yharbrough is our highest-ranked MAC defensive back! Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't receive any P5 offers. I respect the opinion of 247, and they have Mychal ranked as a 3-star (84 rating) and I wholeheartedly agree. With the 84 rating, that usually comes with some P5 attention, but again, nothing. I have a feeling that Miami just got themselves an absolute steal! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Also, this tweet goes extremely hard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":" https://twitter.com/MiamiOHFootball/status/1605575462020730880","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/MiamiOHFootball/status/1605575462020730880 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><br><strong>Lorenzo Williams Jr. | Western Michigan Commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Again, a great DB that has the opportunity to play MAC football! Playing at West Bloomfield, you know he was coached up extremely well, and his tape shows it. I love his patience, hips, and overall change of direction. He can stop and start on a dime, and sports great acceleration. I have little doubt that he'll produce!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='30347' first='Darius' last='Whiteside'] II | Grand Valley State Commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whiteside has been quite the recruit since his freshman season. Playing for Troy, he's won league titles but unfortunately no playoff wins to show for it. I say this because there are countless times that a player is overlooked because of the performance of his team. Yes, strength of schedule plays a big role, but I'm knowledgeable with the OAA to know that he's logit, and was by far the best player on the Troy Colts. Grand Valley has a history of producing some of the best DII players ever, and I believe the sky's the limit for Whiteside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WAWG! (We All We Got!)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/gvsufootball/status/1620770455484522497","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/gvsufootball/status/1620770455484522497 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
