Kaden Smith, Texas 6 (tight end; others are wide receivers)

Evokes Zach Ertiz, perhaps a little longer.

Mentions Bama, Stanford and Texas first in interviews.
24 ACT, and is retaking.
Devin Duvernay, Texas 7
#39 overall
Visiting Oregon, UCLA and Stanford
Says he's willing to travel for the right fit.
Speaks highly of Oregon, lists them among his favorites. Not Stanford.
Seems to favor pass-heavy spread offenses.

Alabama commit called ours "my dream offer."
"It was great-surreal, really. With great academics, great athletics, who can beat that?"
"Having Costello definitely is a plus. He told me all about it."
"Just me being comfortable, a great coaching staff and a great degree so I can get a great job after my career is done."
Small private Christian school kid, transfer from non-denominational prep.

4.0 student taking Honors classes.
Dad lives in Mesa, Arizona--about a 12 hour drive.

"It was very gorgeous."
"Definitely interested. . .I want a school that feels like home."
4.38 40.
11.1 100; ranked 11th in Florida
A faster Rector?

44" vertical (!)
Visited Stanford as a freshman and sophomore

Dylan Crawford, Southern California (Rancho Santa Margarita) 4
#45
Teammate and friend of K.J. Costello.
Says USC feels like home, "But I have no favorites."

Having a second teammate at Stanford (Austin Maihen) should help us.

Kelsey Young's mom, also from Corona, is a family friend
4.1 gpa
"Academics is a really big thing. . I want to be get a good job post college and be able to live well and healthy.
"They are a real high academic school and I really like that,
"I want to major in business accounting and I believe they do have that field.
"And they have a great football team. They have a good tradition going on."
Stanford doesn't offer a standard undergrad accounting program;
USC is ranked the West's best.
"Mostly I've just been keeping up with the recruiter of my area, (Pete Alamar). I've been talking to him a lot about Stanford and my interest in them."
SC, Washington, Oregon, Stanford, Notre Dame top five.
Likes wide open offenses, seems certain to stay on the West Coast.
Oregon's accounting program #101 in nation, only #3 in state of Oregon.
Soft-spoken and serious, not an obvious USC fit.
UCLA failed to make top five.
Simi Fehoko, Utah 1
#247
Tall, long, and the frame to get very big: Cajuste 2.0? (But appears slower.)
Offers from all three Utah schools. both Washington schools, and Clemson
Academics-first guy; "football ends."
"They're my top school. It's the dream school.
"Obviously the No. 1 school for academics. . .So my family all decided Stanford would be a great choice."
"Stanford was awesome. I loved everything about the facilities and campus.
"Coach (Lance) Anderson is my area recruiter, but coach (Tavita) Pritchard would be my position coach. I really like both those coaches."
Plans two-year mission before enrolling.
Interested in sports medicine and computer science.
