It's great to see some of these guys who have been under the radar the last couple years come into their own.
Ahmad Moten - he was the 135th ranked DL in the 22 class. Has looked good the last couple of springs and really stepped up in this game. Looked like the 1T we need to eat up space in the middle.
Anthony Campbell - Not rated coming out of high school. 3* transfer from Louisiana-Monroe. Took a year of development, but played well in his snaps against Florida. Was there with Baron on the Powell INT.
Jaden Harris - 3* and 38th rated CB in 22 class. Had size and athleticism, but was moved to safety. Developed last year behind Kam and really had a breakout game against Florida.
Markeith Williams - lower 4* that was very undersized coming out of high school. Still looks frail but is a good deep player and showed it on the long 3rd down pass that he mirrored the receiver on the sideline and made the play. He still needs to add size/strength to be a reliable tackler IMO, but would definitely use him in 3rd and long packages because I feel he's near elite in his coverage skills as a safety.
Chase Smith - lower 4* athlete in 2021 class. He has been set back by injuries, but looked good in his snaps for Kiko on Saturday. He was one of my favorites in the 21 class, hope he continues to make plays when given a chance.
Anez Cooper - great eval - 84 grade and the 154th ranked OT in the 22 class. He's been good since his first year, but looked the best I've seen on Saturday.
Ryan Rodriguez - he surprised everyone being the starter at LG (at least it wasn't Lou) He has definitely improved, but is more of a Center than a Guard and struggled at times. May get the job next year after Carpenter graduates.
Overall I can see all the work the staff and the team have put in. I think they have weeded out a lot of the weaker talent. Mario practices hard and we saw some injuries the first couple years. I think that it strengthens players over time that put the work in. Wait til we stack these high 4 & 5 star players and we will be along side the Georgia's and Alabama's consistently making it to the playoffs and challenging for titles.
