1. TEXAS
Jumbo athlete Ja’Tavion Sanders is a five-star prospect who can play defensive end or tight end, and he alone gives Texas the edge here. He’s simply an athletic freak.

2. OKLAHOMA
I love Billy Bowman and his versatility on offense, defense and in the return game. He’s a difference maker.

3. OREGON
The Ducks have a few great, athletic players in this class who could play different positions. Seven McGee could play receiver or running back, Jabril McNeill is a huge kid and Darren Bankins can play either side of the ball.

4. NORTH CAROLINA
DeAndre Boykins could be a safety or running back, and Caleb Hood and Kamarro Edmunds are excellent in-state athletes.
*****
5. IOWA
Arland Bruce is the headline here, but Iowa has four athletes in this class that could play multiple positions.
*****
6. TENNESSEE
Kaeman Marley is a big athlete who could grow into different positions, and Christian Charles could impact on either side.
