Question about our incoming labelled as "ATH"...

I follow recruiting maybe a little more than an average fan, but not as deeply as the "experts, content generators, evaluators and stargazers"....
But in this season of monumentally bad defense, I've been nervously visiting here a bit more often to see if there was any "help is on the way" encouraging news-
So, I seem to remember maybe a month or so back there were FOUR committed players listed as "ATHLETES", and I know that "DB" is frequently a projected position for some of those guys maybe playing DT QB in high-school because they're the best athlete on the team, but too small or short to keep playing QB in college-
But now I notice there's only THREE on our commits list- did we lose one I missed? Or have they switched the designation on someone? So of those "ATHLETES" still on our commits list, which ones if any are projected as DBs - either CB or safeties, and which ones are maybe a "beef-up to LB" project....
And does being groomed for a new position push back the date/year we can expect them to be meaningfully contributing and playing at the level we need? I know it seems, to some at least, our D players are not responding to or receiving the instruction they need to be successful; does this factor into our expectations for grooming these guys for a new position?
Can't everybody be a "Devin White" natural, right?

Corey Webster was an athlete.

Turner will play wr. Woodland will play cb. Johnson is dual qb hs stud, projected to play cb by most sites by now.
Not sure of other kids still labeled as ath.
Singleton was told by the staff he'll start out in brooks hybrid safety role, if I'm not botching that memory. And they'll see how he grows, adds weight to see where he sticks, either stay in that role, or shift to lb.

Thanks, tgkdk-
PJ Woodland is listed as a CB; and Turner is listed as a WR....
the other ATH in the group is Joel Rogers from St Francisvile.... he's the smallest of the bunch at 6', 165lbs- Singleton is the biggest frame so I figured he was maybe slotted as safety, maybe end up a LB if he puts enough weight on the 6'2", 200lbs
I'm still wondering where the 4th ATH from a month or so ago disappeared to?

Instant downvote because I know this thread is going nowhere.
