moves up just three spots in the rankings update, but now sits inside the Top 5 as our #2 overall prospect in the class. Todd put up huge numbers in his junior season for the Bulldogs, posting over 2,000 all-purpose yards and 28 touchdowns on offense and 10 PBUs and 3 interceptions on defense. He's an FBS prospect in our eyes and should see significant recruiting buzz heading into his senior year.){kind=link}
