Freshman who will outplay his ranking

Xavier Hill is my guess however Alex Adams, Eric Taylor and Kole Taylor have me excited as well.

I do agree Toles will be a stud.

I'm going to go with Dwight McGlothern.

As a freshman, it’s all about opportunity. So that’s a tough question because the answer could easily be None of them this upcoming season.

But longer term, Eric Taylor has good tape at a high level of Alabama HS football. He’s really raw but has a really good combination of size, length and movement skills/athleticism for his size.

Everyone wonders why Bama and Auburn weren’t in the thick of it for an Alabama kid and that premise seems to undermine him as a prospect. It was basically between us and Kentucky.

He looks like a kid who will benefit from a good S&C/nutrition program and technical skill development. But all the raw traits seem to be there and I think there’s a lot of upside

Coaches were raving about Jordan Toles. He’s the safe bet imo.

For the fun of it I’ll go with Jacobian “Tank” Guillory. State champion power lifter already in the 330’s that was blowing up dudes at the all American game. It’s a solid 330 and he was insanely quick, extremely violent hands and played with outstanding leverage. Imo he’s what people thought Ishmael Sospher was. It’s a good 330 lbs but he’s gonna swap about 15lbs of bad weight for muscle and he’s gonna be extremely tough to keep off the field.

I’m like Urban Meyer - I don’t give a frick what you do against lesser competition. I wanna see you vs the big dogs.

Tiles is ranked pretty high. Isn’t he a Top 100 player?

Everything I’ve read about josh white is he will play early & is a future team captain

So you are wagering the composite 5th ranked safety in the country outplays his ranking. What does that look like?

I’ll go with Eric Taylor becoming the next Bennie Logan

Dwight McGlothern. He has rare ball skills and can play all over the secondary. People forget he was a 5 star most of his high school career before his ranking fell off a cliff for whatever reason. He was amazing in the Army All American game had 2 INT and should’ve been 3 had he held on to another.

This is my pick, he didnt play football till junior year, burst onto the scene and became a bama commit even. If bama wants a kid on OL you should want him. He also is a heck of a basketball player, which he reluctantly gave up for football since there wasnt much hope for a 6'3 300 pounder, lol

Dwight McGlothern will be a star at LSU. And will be a 1st round draft pick. At one time, as a junior, he was a highly rated 5 star QB. However he played both ways as a senior. He caught 66 passes for 1307 yards and 18 TDs as a WR. He also was first year at a new school. Phenomenal! He’s 6’2”, with obvious superior ball skills.

Edit to add: Oh yeah, and the annual LSU last low rated throw in commit. They always seem to excel way above their rating. So Alex Adams as well.
