2024 Recruiting Class Superlatives

[TDforTD]

Was waiting for @Duff Man to do this one but I finally said enough is enough some of these answers may change with potential grad transfer additions. Also, if Seaton is too obvious of an answer for a couple of these, feel free to asterisk it and give a 2nd choice.

Highest floor: OL Tyler Johnson
Most underrated: DB McKinney; (2nd--Keaton Wade if he is starting LB)

 

[2019buff]

Most impactful freshman in ‘24: Seaton (he’s going to play the most of the freshman. Second place will be Drelon Miller or Welch. They have the most snaps available for the roles they’ll likely play.)

Most impactful transfer in ‘24: Will Sheppard or Lajontay Wester (feel like they’ve been a bit forgotten about because of the rightful focus on getting LBs. Still, either is expected to be the no. 1 and take some heat off Travis. Huge role. Second place is any number of the DL as individuals or the OL as a unit)

Most exciting in ‘25 (who needs a year?): Brandon Davis-Swain (Needs a year to see where his body goes and determine whether he leans out into a big edge or grows into a penetrating 3-tech. I see the latter but I get the sense I’m in the minority. Second Place Kam Mikell)

Highest ceiling: Quency Wiggins (I think Seaton takes this too but wanted to talk about someone else. Wiggins has a H-Wt-S that the rest of our rushers just don’t have)

Highest floor: Nwankwo (tons of starts. Fire hydrant strength. We know what we’re getting and needed it bad. Second place BJ Green)

Most underrated: Preston Hodge ( the forgotten 4-star. Second place is Eric Brantley. He may be short but he’s muscular and twitched up. Had great success in one of the best football states in the country. He can turn into BJ green pt. 2)
