Most of these are highly rated recruits who play a position of need and have the chance to develop and thrive with the new regime:
Chantz Williams - #6 ranked DE on rivals (#62 overall on ESPN) and now in his 3rd year....he will take a big step
Jalen Rivers - #50 ranked player and #4 ranked OT on ESPN....already big and talented and now with some good reps early last year once he comes back from injury
Jacoby George - #103 ranked player on ESPN, smooth and just needs a bit more bulk...he will replace Rambo
Elijah Arroyo - Freak at TE (4* top 10 at position across all rankings) and will be heavily used in Gattis' system where Mallory will get the attention
Al Blades - Remember him? #59 player in the country when he came out....covid and injuries stunted his development but unlike Ivey...he always played well, had some good Int's, did not get beat very often and can be physical. Given the style of defense Steele wants to run, he will definitely be given a hard look opposite Stevenson. How cool would it be if he could lock down CB #2 and let the new blood develop with emerging playing time.
