Got some catching up to do…
#2 LB in the 2023 class, Troy Bowles committed to Georgia yesterday. Aggressive, downhill ILB who hits like a Mack truck.
4* TE, and two-sport athlete (basketball), Jelani Thurman commits to OSU. He’s one to watch. 6’6”, 230lbs out of HS. He will be a monster in the red zone. I expect him to be the top TE in the draft when declares in a few years (with the exception of injury). His catch radius is silly.
4* LB Lewis Carter commits to Oklahoma. Venables and his staff are enjoying an excellent recruiting season thus far. Split time between safety and LB in HS. Monster of a hitter, but needs some work on his tackling fundamentals.
4* WR Jaden Greathouse commits to Notre Dame. The #17 WR in the nation and another two sport athlete, Greathouse projects as a possession receiver at the college level. If he adds some bulk to his frame, I can easily see him making the transition to TE. He reminds me a lot of Michael Thomas when he came out of HS.
4* RB Dylan Smothers committed to Oklahoma. The #7 RB in the nation. Looks to continue the line of one cut and go halfbacks of recent Oklahoma lore. I see a lot of runs on his highlight tapes where his OL did him zero favors and he still made something happen.
4* LB Tony Rojas commits to Penn State. PSU now has a top 10 class in 2023. Great combo of size, speed, and length but he has trouble getting off of blocks. A couple of years in a major workout program should help him.
Defense Only highlights
