He has the size, speed, physicality and range. He shows good acceleration and has the quickness needed. He shows good instincts and tracks the ball well. He's added good size to his frame this offseason and is an elite prospect. He's a true P4 starter with the ceiling of hearing his name called at the NFL Draft, immense talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1683712"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ee3879bde59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Manu's trademark is his physicality. He's added additional strength this offseason, and he is a player who can play multiple positions. He has the hip fluidity to cover twitchy, athletic slot receivers, has the speed to be on the boundary, and has the physical style of play to be a box safety/weakside backer hybrid. He's a talented player and is a P4 prospect. He should get an uptick in his recruitment, and he is the best pure physical press man corner in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1294371"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ee3879bdf3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Will has added good weight to his fame and still kept his speed. That's been a key part to his offseason that will translate into him playing and getting offers at the next level. He has good hips and closing speed. He can slide into the slot to cover the athletic slot receivers, and he can be left on the boundary as he is athletic and springy to match with taller receivers. He's got the experience starting varsity for multiple years, and that has given him an edge. He's a player who will continue to garner P4 looks in recruiting and has great upside to his game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944658"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ee3879be029"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Justice has added good weight this offseason and that will translate to the pads as he'll be able to be more physical. He's added good quickness to his lateral movements this offseason, and he's a player who will get offers his way at the FCS level, and he has every right to continue to gain that momentum in recruiting. He's worked hard this offseason to refine his craft, and that should bear fruit this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were some defensive backs to know in the 2027 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The class brings a unique blend of size, physicality, range, and speed. Let's take a look at some of the top end prospects in the class.
