The next wave of elite college football recruits is coming, and it's already drawing lofty comparisons to some high-end talent.

Edge talent continues to take on greater importance across all levels of the sport -- 12 first-round picks in the 2024 NFL draft play either offensive tackles or edge rushers -- and this class is great on both sides of the ball.
Five-star prospects are also getting bigger and faster, already clocking in with NFL-ready measurables.
