BJ Canady BJ Canady 6'5" | 250 lbs | DL Topeka | 2024 State KS of Topeka High rounds off the Top 5 in this December update. An injury prevented Canady from completing his junior season, but his play through four games was enough to maintain his status as a top-ranked prospect. Despite the limited action, Canady still wreaked havoc on opposing offenses. Similar to his sophomore season, offensive tackles had trouble blocking the 6-foot-5, 245 pound edge rusher. Canady’s play has now earned him nine Power 5 offers, with the University of California and Tennessee being the most recent programs to recruit the 4-Star prospect. With plenty of time to heal before the ’23 campaign, expect to see Canady bounce back in a big way next year.
