Pro Football Focus' top 10 true freshman classes of 2019

Yep, you guessed it. Even though there were four other teams that were supposedly rated higher than LSU's 2019 recriting class, that is not how they graded out.
Can't see the entire article - ESPN+ but enough to get the gist and a lot on Stingley Jr
PFF has unveiled its wins above average metric in recent weeks (PFF WAA), and we used it to rank the top 10 true freshman classes from the 2019 college football season.
1. LSU Tigers
Why they're ranked here: Joe Burrow got all the hype -- and rightfully so -- but the dominance of true freshman cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. was a bit overlooked because of it. Stingley finished the season as the second-most valuable LSU Tiger in the team's title-winning run, and he ended up as the most valuable non-quarterback in the country. LSU, which is often referred to as "DBU," had another impact true freshman cornerback on the field in Cordale Flott, who was also stingy in coverage. On his 153 coverage snaps, Flott allowed just eight of 25 targets to be caught, and he produced five pass breakups.
How their top recruit fared:

How their top rated recruit fared was John Emery. Basically said he didn't see much time because of CEH, but was very elusive. Had a stat of .33 broken tackles per rush & .5 per catch.
Best true freshman was Derek Stingley. Called him most valuable non-QB player in terms on wins above average since PFF College was created in '14. Stingley forced tight coverage on 75.5% of his targets, which was the second-highest rate in the FBS. On those tight coverage targets, Stingley allowed just 20 catches from 71 total targets while intercepting six passes and forcing 20 incompletions.
