to close out the 2017 class:
5. Ellis Brooks - LB is a surprisingly glaring need, and attrition will probably happen at that spot. Books is a solid MIKE prospect with nice size but doesn't have great lateral quickness.
4. Josh Paschal - Need to continue to build talented depth on the DL. Not a huge fan, but is a versatile piece, with strength and athleticism to play End or Tackle.
3. JUCO OT To Be Named Later - Behind Prince (who should be a Guard) and Gray, there are a lot of questions at OT next year. You gotta have at least 3 who can play. We will have two and a few with no experience and/or not ideal bodies for OT.
2. Tariq Castro Fields - We should be able to find DB's for the class with our connections in the south, but TCF looks to be a kid who can immediately contribute on the outside, which we need. Early returns on Tino, take TCF down to #2 though.
1. Jordan Anthony - He is the sideline to sideline LB we need in Durkin's defensive scheme. Would potentially be immediate starter.
