There is always one in every recruiting class. One guy who you watch the film of and you think, “why is this guy a three star prospect?” Last year that guy was originally Kyle Hamilton, before the recruiting services came to their senses and placed him in the top 100. Other past candidates were Tommy Tremble in 2018, Michael Young in 2017, and Julian Love famously in 2016.
This year, that guy is three star receiver Xavier Watts out of Omaha, Nebraska. He committed to Notre Dame in July of 2019, at the time a mid three star player and he is currently a slightly higher mid three star player.
