now sits at No. 63 in a much larger rankings pool. Cox was unoffered when he first debuted, making his subsequent Kent State offer another recruiting evaluation win. At 6’2, 185 pounds with a 3.5 GPA, Cox also brings a basketball background that first helped put him on the radar. The offer validates the FBS grade that was assigned long before recruiting caught up. In my opinion, Cox remains one of the stronger breakout candidates in this range. A productive junior season could easily push him into the Top 30 discussion. The ceiling remains high if he proves it on Friday nights. This ranking leaves plenty of room for future movement.

is an excellent athlete and playmaker in the 2028 class. He can score anytime he touches the ball. An example was in his film, where I saw him score two touchdowns on punt returns. He has elite track speed. He also played at a high level as a wide receiver. His ability to run routes and create separation is excellent. He has great size (6’2″) and athleticism. Cox is a dynamic athlete who makes plays constantly all over the field.

, but in the limited film I saw, an explosive athlete who can do a ton of things on the football field. He has great size (6’2″) and speed. He projects as a wide receiver and defensive back. On offense, he has big-play ability, and he should also be able to make defenders miss after the catch for big plays. Cox is in line for a big year this season.
