Earlier this week we took a look at the top five prospects at each offensive position and now it is the defense's turn. Just as before, a lot of these names have already splashed in week one of NCAA action. The DB group made a lot of splashes early. Xavier Watts continued his hunt for the ball with yet again another pick. This was not to be out done by my top DB prospect, Will Johnson, who also found an INT. Kevin Winston Jr. continued to show why he may be the best tackler in the country posting 12 tackles.
All in all, it was an exciting week with a lot of prospects delivering on the hype they bring. If you didn’t get a chance to check out the Offensive Summer Scouting, be sure to give it a read as well! As always, let me know your thoughts and ideas on X. Until then, prost.
