Top 3 Commitments

TE Kaden Smith

Kaden Smith perfectly fits what HC David Shaw wants out of a tight end -- good hands, great frame and the ability to open up plays for wide receivers on the outside AND function as a primary blocker in the run game.

QB KJ Costello

Costello doesn't get talked about a lot compared to other headliners in the 2016 quarterback class, but he's got a chance to be a true heir apparent to Kevin Hogan before long.

OLB Curtis Robinson

Robinson's field awareness is absolutely elite, and is ability to adjust on the fly as a pass rusher and run defender makes him one of the best under-the-radar gets of this recruiting cycle.
