The 2023 recruiting cycle became red hot recent months as many of the top high school football players around the country have announced their college decisions. But there is still plenty of elite talent on the board with less than three months remaining until the Early Signing Period.

With that in mind, we have decided to check in on the top uncommitted prospects in the 2023 class and where things stand in their respective recruitments according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball. Of the top-100 prospects in the 2023 class, 21 have yet to announce their respective commitments.

The group of uncommitted players includes five of the nation’s 15 five-star prospects, headlined by the No. 4 overall prospect and No. 1 cornerback in the class.

Subscribe to 247Sports YouTube for the latest college football, basketball and recruiting news including live college commitments.

Scroll down to take a look at the current Crystal Ball outlook for the top uncommitted recruits in the 2023 class.

247Sports rank: 5-star | 98 rating | No. 4 Overall | No. 1 CB Top schools (VIP): Alabama | Florida | Miami 247Sports Crystal Ball: Florida 100% Measurables: 6-1.5 | 165 Scouting report: A new-age cornerback prospect that almost looks like he was made in some type of create-a-player mode given his length, foot speed, ball skills, instincts and competitive drive. Initially started high school career off as a wide receiver before being thrust into action on the defensive side of the ball due to injury. Excelled right away at his new position totaling nine interceptions as a sophomore and then 10 more as a junior. Extremely advanced from a technical standpoint for someone that grew up primarily playing offense. Doesn’t take many, if any, false steps while in reverse and always looks to be in complete control of his body. Likes to click his feet as he gains depth and does a nice job of keeping his eyes in the backfield. Looser hips allow him to mirror wideouts of all different sizes before he eventually has to turn and open up. Already hand checks like a seasoned vet and will fight through arms to break up a pass. Seems to be comfortable in both press and off-man coverage, which makes sense as he not only knows how to find leverage and redirect at the line of scrimmage with a jam, but is also quick enough to close gaps and break on routes as plays progress. Has tested in the upper percentile with a laser-timed 4.5 in the 40-yard dash on record to go along with a 4.3 shuttle and 128-inch broad jump. Has also raised some eyebrows with his measurements as his thin, wiry frame is well over 6-foot-1. Will need to keep the right mindset and adjust to the everyday demands of big-time college football, but should be viewed as a potential CB1 for a Top 10 program as he checks off all of the right boxes. Could find success in a variety of different defensive schemes, but might ultimately be his best in bump-and-run situations. Day 1 upside if peaking ahead towards the NFL Draft. – 247Sports Southeast Recruiting Analyst Andrew Ivins NFL Draft projection: First Round Player comparison: Greedy Williams | CB | Cleveland Browns

247Sports rank: 5-star | 98 rating | No. 7 Overall | No. 1 EDGE 247Sports Crystal Ball: Alabama 91.7% | Notre Dame 8.3% Measurables: 6-6 | 242 Scouting report: A larger-framed pass rusher that’s best football still appears to be well ahead of him, which is bad news for future opponents. The first one off the bus with his hulking, muscular frame that looks to be pushing 6-foot-6, 245 pounds. Has a bit of a natural up-right demeanor to him, but isn’t exactly stiff, and has shown time and time again on Friday nights that he can bend and find some leverage. Does a variety of different things well at this stage in his development, but the most promising trait might be his motor and ability to make stops/plays in backside pursuit. Has experience working out of both a two and three-point stance in a 4-3 base defense. Superb snap anticipation allows him to quickly shoot into the backfield and get to work. Tends to make the most of the opportunities presented to him as a well-timed spin move has turned into a bit of a money maker, but that’s not the only trick he uses to get after the quarterback as he also can beat offensive tackles with a long-arm and bull rush. Not one to disappear against the run, but could always get a little more gap sound and will need to learn how to hold his ground against college veterans. Lack of verified data makes it hard to paint the whole picture, but should be viewed as one of the top defensive ends in the class of 2023 given length, fluid movement skills and production (racked up 16.5 sacks and 22 QBH as a junior). Must keep progressing and keep the right mindset, but has what it takes to eventually emerge as an impact player for a College Football Playoff contender and a possible Day 1 selection in the NFL Draft. Shouldn't be pigeonholed to one exact role as he could be molded into a variety of different things given growth potential. – 247Sports Southeast Recruiting Analyst Andrew ivins NFL Draft projection: First Round Player comparison: Danielle Hunter | EDGE | Minnesota Vikings

247Sports rank: 5-star | 98 rating | No. 8 Overall | No. 2 EDGE Top schools (VIP): Alabama | Ohio State | Oregon | USC 247Sports Crystal Ball: No predictions Measurables: 6-5 | 265 Scouting report: Impressive physical size for a junior checking at 6-foot-5 and weighing in the 265 pound range this guy has all the measurables you want. Long athletic build to go along with impressive arm length and wingspan put him at an elite level with these traits. This top notch edge has unique athleticism for someone his size. Possessing excellent agility, change of direction, bend and power makes him one of the best players in the country. He is light on his feet and plays with very good power and technique on the edge and in the run game with room to continue to develop and improve. As a pass rusher he does a good job using speed to power as well as having a good dip and rip move and always using active hands to prevent lineman from latching on to him. He consistently gains ground on his rush without stopping his feet. Displays a twitch out of his stance that translates to explosion once he makes contact with the blocker along with a strong punch to control and disengage to defeat the blocker. Can redirect when needed without hesitation to make plays away from him with good runs and chase effort. As a two-way player you are treated to an athlete that could be a top-flight tight end prospect with his burst, excellent body control to make plays on the ball as well as serving as a more than adequate blocker in the run game. He is a guy that moves easy and natural with enough speed to create separation as a receiver where he makes many plays as. As he continues to mature physically, gains strength and maintain his athleticism he is a player that can play up and down the defensive line and on the edge. His potential is unlimited, he has the profile and ability to be a early starter and multiple all-conference performer in college. – 247Sports National Recruiting Expert Chris Singletary NFL Draft projection: First Round

247Sports rank: 5-star | 98 rating | No. 9 Overall | No. 1 ATH Top schools: Georgia | LSU | Maryland | Miami | Michigan | South Carolina | USC 247Sports Crystal Ball: South Carolina 100% Measurables: 6-5 | 225 Scouting report: Big-framed world class athlete who excels as sprinter. Can sculpt body to play tight end, linebacker or edge. Powerful build with wide shoulders and length. Ran 10.38 in 100 meters and has options to turn pro in track rather than play football. Highly-twitched jumbo athlete. On football field, is dynamic talent with huge upside because of development possibilities. Excellent body control. Shows physical superiority all over the field. On offense, solid in tracking ball. Gets off line of scrimmage well and into route quickly. Is tough to jam because of size and strength. Needs to continue to refine ball catching skills. Can play standing up or with hand on ground on defense. Gets off quickly at snap. Uses speed and shoulder dip to gain the edge. Has closing speed toward the ball carrier. Can change direction and accelerate quickly. Playing with hand on ground, shoots "B" gap well. Is consistently disruptive. Has to continue to develop his ability to stack and shed and be a big factor when plays are run at him. Elite level player for top college programs. First round NFL draft potential. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Brian Dohn NFL Draft projection: First Round

247Sports rank: 5-star | 98 rating | No. 12 Overall | No. 1 DL Commitment date: Wed., Sept. 28 Top schools: Alabama | Miami | Michigan State | Oklahoma | Oregon | Texas | Texas A&M 247Sports Crystal Ball: Oklahoma 100% Measurables: 6-4 | 270 Scouting report: Owns all the requisite physical traits, from height / weight to plus length to large hands. Wears mass well and likely owns frame space to get to 300-pound neighborhood if desired. Exceptional strength at the point of attack. Flashes powerful, jarring punch with consistent stack-and-shed ability. Uses efficient economy of hand violence that enhances technique effectiveness. Displays impressive downhill pursuit juice relative to size and role. Early senior season snaps include multiple three-man spots i.e. 0-, 3-, and 5-techniques. Could fit myriad personnel looks given physical tools and functional athleticism. Possesses strong three-sport athletic profile that includes basketball and throws events. Has eclipsed 50-foot shot put threshold and 150-foot discus plateau. Explosive power transfers to the gridiron. Good combine testing data with excellent short shuttle numbers. Flashes throw-aside strength of offensive linemen. Plays violent with consistently hot motor. Sometimes shows some body control wobble that adds a tic to pursuit route. Pass-rush production is strong, but further along vs. run at this point. Flashes disengaging ability and impressive swim, but expanding move set will continue to raise pass-rush ceiling. Stout, disruptive interior force with athleticism of an edge player in the body of a traditional four-man 3-technique. Again, fits numerous roles and schemes. Combination of physical specs, three-sport athletic profile, and on-field performance provide particularly high long-term ceiling with potential to become a high-round NFL Draft pick. – 247Sports Midlands Region Recruiting Analyst Gabe Brooks NFL Draft projection: First Round

247Sports rank: 4-star | 97 rating | No. 16 Overall | No. 3 OT Top schools: Alabama | Florida | Georgia | Miami | Michigan State | Ohio State | Oklahoma | Oregon 247Sports Crystal Ball: Miami 100% Measurables: 6-5 | 305 Scouting report: Possesses legitimate size and length for left tackle. Well-proportioned frame with room for development. Two-way player with understanding of leverage and ability to win those battles. Shows hand speed on both sides of ball. Has lower body strength and sinks hips in run blocking. Plays physical and fast. High motor prospect with strong work ethic. Fires off low and explodes up and into defender. Excellent body control. Spends very little time on the ground. Strong initial punch with hand quickness to shoot inside. Once engaged, stays on block and drives legs. Athleticism shines when pulling. Shows proper footwork in getting out quickly and leading the play through the hole. Length and ability to mirror makes it difficult for speed rushers to beat him around edge or inside. Is patient in pass pro base but has to be more confident with initial punch. Has basics of kick step but needs to continue to develop that aspect of game. Continued strength growth needed throughout frame. Multi-year starter at high-level college program. Early round NFL draft potential. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Brian Dohn NFL Draft projection: Second Round

247Sports rank: 4-star | 97 rating | No. 18 Overall | No. 2 DL Top schools: Alabama | Alabama State | Auburn | Florida | Georgia | Ohio State 247Sports Crystal Ball: No predictions Measurables: 6-4 | 310 Scouting report: Physical young defensive lineman who could fit multiple fronts, but likely projects best to 3-tech in an even look. Possesses requisite size/frame. Consistently flashes vs. the run and as a pass rusher. Bull in a china shop who made plays as a freshman with size, strength, tenacity. Impressive closing speed relative to size. Physicality really stands out for such a young prospect. Technical development and improved body control could make for truly elite front-line defender. Early returns suggest impact high-major potential with early-round NFL Draft ceiling. – 247Sports Midlands Region Recruiting Analyst Gabe Brooks Projection: Power 5 Starter Player comparison: Zacch Pickens | DL | South Carolina Gamecocks

247Sports rank: 4-star | 96 rating | No. 29 Overall | No. 1 TE 247Sports Crystal Ball: USC 100% Measurables: 6-6 | 225 Scouting report: Checking at 6-foot-6 and a half 229 pounds, Robinson more than checks the box on the height weight profile for the Tight End position. With broad shoulders and a frame to add another 15 to 20 pounds this prospect still has a good amount of growth potential in the weight and strength categories. Adding in the fact that he has over a 6-foot-10 inch wingspan and 10 inch. hand you have more than the prototype body to be elite at this position. The 35-inch arms that he has give him the advantage of a tremendous catch radius that is coupled with an impressive vertical to high-point the ball in traffic and on 50/50 balls along with having soft hands. Very smooth in his routes with the ability to drop his weight and transition in and out of breaks flashes his flexibility. His athleticism allows him to line up in the slot, outside and in the core of the formation to be a constant threat against the defense and provide mismatches that can be exploited. Whether it’s a corner, linebacker or safety covering him, Robinson’s chance to win are far greater than those of his opponent. He possesses excellent speed for a player this size along with burst off the line of scrimmage and acceleration once the ball is in the air to track it the hand eye-coordination that also makes him a top baseball player and finish with the catch in the end zone. Even though he isn’t asked to do it for his highschool team he has the physical attributes to be an adequate blocker and set the edge in the run game. Robinson has unlimited potential with his skill set and physical abilities to be an all conference performer for multiple years. I see him as a player that has NFL ability and should be an early round pick in his future. – 247Sports National Recruiting Expert Chris Singletary NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2) Player comparison: Darren Waller | TE | Las Vegas Raiders

247Sports rank: 4-star | 96 rating | No. 32 Overall | No. 3 EDGE Finalists: Alabama | Florida | Georgia | Miami | Notre Dame | Oregon | Tennessee 247Sports Crystal Ball: Georgia 75% | Miami 25% Measurables: 6-3.5 | 240 Scouting report: One of those prospects you take now and then figure out the position later. Has the frame – and skill set – to be molded into a variety of different things at the next level. Got snaps on both sides of the ball his first few years back while home in St. Louis before transferring into the national powerhouse that is IMG Academy and being deployed primarily as a large slot wideout. Found success in that role as he can create some separation and move the chains while working the lower numbers of the route tree, but seems to have the most developmental upside as a pass rusher, hence why he’s expected to focus mainly on being a defender during his senior season. When it comes to getting after the quarterback, has flashed the ability to bend and win with speed as he runs the arc. Will eventually need to develop a full menu of moves and learn how to find his run fits, but has the initial burst to be an effective edge player on Saturdays. Testing profile (30-inch vertical jump and 4.5 shuttle) also suggest that he could potentially drop back into coverage in certain situations. Might need some time to figure things out after juggling two positions, but large hands and favorable wingspan shouldn’t be overlooked as he doesn’t appear to be anywhere close to being taped out (believed to hovering right around 6-4, 235 pounds winter after junior year). Could thrive as a blitzing linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. NFL potential. – 247Sports Southeast Recruiting Analyst Andrew Ivins NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2)

247Sports rank: 4-star | 96 rating | No. 34 Overall | No 4 EDGE Top schools (VIP): LSU | Oklahoma | Texas | Texas A&M 247Sports Crystal Ball: Oklahoma 100% Measurables: 6-4 | 225 Scouting report: Unverified at 6-foot-4 and 225-pounds, appears to possess growth potential to add additional weight to his frame. Position projection will be dependent on verified weight and growth potential. Displays good athletic ability at the five technique in a base 3-4 defense while showing the ability to play in a two point stance situationally. Exhibits good knee bend and hip flexibility in and out of stance. Flashes some quick twitch explosiveness and a good first step off the line of scrimmage. Shows the ability to bend the edge with ease. Demonstrates good play speed with active hands at the point of attack. Can play the run and seal the edge, flashing good play strength in both the run and pass. Displays good lateral chase and backside pursuit ability, showing the ability to close space quickly. High motor player that possesses the athletic ability to drop in coverage situationally if need be. Depending on size and growth potential possesses the ability to play in both a 4-3 and 3-4 defense, in a two or three point stance. Active perimeter that flashes some athletic upside off the edge as a pass-rusher and shows the ability to play the run. Will need a year to develop but could offer some instant impact ability as a situational pass-rusher. Projects as an all-conference prospect at a Power Five program at the next level. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Cooper Petagna

247Sports rank: 4-star | 95 rating | No. 39 Overall | No. 6 EDGE Top schools (VIP): Alabama | Georgia | Miami | Ohio State | Texas 247Sports Crystal Ball: No predictions Measurables: 6-4 | 230 Scouting report: A skilled pass rusher with plenty of juice. Over 6-foot-3 and should be able to eventually carry 265 pounds or more given his dimensions. Can win with his initial burst, but also knows how to chop, dip and rip his way around the corner. Extremely coordinated athlete that distributes his weight well and is able to find plenty of leverage as he gets up and underneath opposing linemen. Not one to give up on a play and will get outside the hashes to make a stop. Does a nice job of sifting through traffic and fighting off blocks as running backs pick and choose their lanes. Probably doesn’t get enough credit for his ability to anchor with his play strength and is known as a bit of a workout warrior after bench pressing 370 pounds his sophomore year of high school. More impressively, has over a 10-foot broad jump to his credit. Totaled a school-record 15 sacks and a team-high 23 tackles for loss as a junior, helping Venice capture a state title in Florida’s highest classification. Thrived working out of a three-point stance in a 4-3 front, but get-off and overall physical demeanor suggest that he wouldn’t have much issues standing up in a 3-4 look and getting after the quarterback. Should be viewed as one of the top EDGE prospects in the class of 2023 based upon everything that we know. Has what it takes to emerge as an impact player at a College Football Playoff regular. Destined to eventually earn a paycheck on Sundays if everything comes together and he can avoid injuries/setbacks. – 247Sports Southeast Recruiting Analyst Andrew Ivins NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2)

Has the ability to add additional weight to his frame. Positioned the majority of snaps in a two-point stance in a stand-up pass rushing edge role. Displays good athletic ability and a natural ability to bend the edge. Smooth mover for his size. Plays with good initial foot and body quickness. Exhibits active hands at the point of attack. Has the ability to beat you with speed or power off the edge. Flashes good lateral quickness in space and shows some ability to drop. Closes space exceptionally well for size. Demonstrates good play strength at the point of attack and flashes some power in his hands off the edge. Projects to a pass rushing edge role in a 3-4 and with his hand in the dirt as a five technique in a 4-3 defense. Position projection will be heavily dependent on the defensive scheme. Arrow is pointing up as the game continues to slow down for him. Projects to high level impact starter at the next level for a Power Five program. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Cooper Petagna NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2) Player comparison: Anfernee Jennings | EDGE | New England Patriots

247Sports rank: 4-star | 95 rating | No. 51 Overall | No. 6 OT Top schools: Auburn | Florida A&M | Florida State | LSU | Miami | Michigan | Michigan State | NC State | Nebraska | Ole Miss | South Carolina | USC 247Sports Crystal Ball: LSU 100% Measurables: 6-5 | 300 Scouting report: Owns the requisite height, frame, and mass to remain outside or move to guard and compete at a high level. Possesses an excellent multi-sport profile. Has participated in basketball and posted terrific throws data. Georgia Class A Private state champion in shot put and discus as a sophomore, placing second in both events as a junior (with even better numbers). Plays with noteworthy effort and violence. Natural drive-blocker whose size and functional strength overwhelm smaller targets. Regularly takes blocks to the ground as a finisher with conviction. Run-game mauler with traits to translate those qualities to high-major level. Owns the tools to become a very good pass protector, regardless of alignment. Relatively quick-footed considering build / mass with ability to engage multiple assailants in pass-blocking situations. Agility also translates to pulling and second-level timing, accompanied by burgeoning punch power. Will face considerable jump in competition coming from small-school ball in Georgia A Private league. Consistency in engagement angles and hand placement are solid, but can improve. Naturally higher center of gravity compromises leverage at times. One of the top offensive line prospects in the always loaded state of Georgia. Projects as a high-major offensive lineman, whether at tackle or guard, with the potential to become a multi-year starter and an early-round NFL Draft ceiling. – 247Sports Midlands Region Recruiting Analyst Gabe Brooks

247Sports rank: 4-star | 95 rating | No. 53 Overall | No. 7 OT 247Sports Crystal Ball: BYU 100% Measurables: 6-5 | 270 Scouting report: Unverified at 6-foot-4 and 240-pounds plus, appears to possess growth potential to add additional weight to his frame. More than likely has surpassed the 260-pounds mark. Verified height, weight, and length will be critical in projecting to the next level. Flashes excellent athleticism at the right tackle position. Displays good knee bend and hip flexibility in and out of stance. Shows the ability to explode in the run and pass set. Possesses quiet feet. Plays with outstanding balance and body control. Can anchor in pass protection and move defenders off the line of scrimmage in the run game. Appears to have good play strength. Can play in space and at the second level while displaying excellent pull and trap ability. Value is in his ability as a protector, has a very controlled and patient game at the tackle position. Will need to continue to grow and develop physically into his frame but possesses the prototypical athletic traits that you look for in the left tackle position. Will more than likely need a year to two years to develop in the weight room but projects to a potential all-conference starter at a Power Five program at the next level. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Cooper Petagna NFL Draft projection: Second Round

247Sports rank: 4-star | 95 rating | No. 58 Overall | No. 7 DL Top schools: Arkansas | Georgia | Oklahoma | TCU | Texas | USC 247Sports Crystal Ball: No predictions Measurables: 6-4 | 290 Scouting report: Deal does a good job of playing with good snap and body quickness out of his stance. He also plays with good pad-level which allows him to limit the blocking surface for his opponent. With his punch you see the explosion out of his hips that gives him the ability to generate very good power to sting the opponent and create knock-back to play on the offensive side of the ball. He has a good 1st step and shows twitch out of his stance. Very good at disengaging to make himself a fact in the play, whether it's action to him or play away. He has a good motor and effort on plays where he will chase and show up, making some plays from the backside. Very good for a player his size at stunting into gaps or setting the edge in a 4-man or 3-man front. Able to hold his ground and not get rooted out of his gap when facing double-teams and is very instinctive with getting his hand up in passing lanes when rushing the passer. In his development he is ahead as a run-stopper with the tools and traits to be a factor as an above average passer with more reps and technique growth. Brings position and scheme versatility to the table on the defensive line. The maturation left both physically and football wise along with his natural talent is there for him to be a very productive player on the next level as a starter. – 247Sports National Recruiting Expert Chris Singletary NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2) Player comparison: Ross Blacklock | DL | Houston Texans

247Sports rank: 4-star | 95 rating | No. 59 Overall | No. 8 EDGE Top schools: Alabama | Alabama State | Auburn | Florida | Georgia | Ohio State 247Sports Crystal Ball: No predictions Measurables: 6-2 | 230 Scouting report: Appears to possess ideal size at 6-foot-2 and 230-pounds, has the ability to add additional weight to his frame. Displays good athletic ability on defense and special teams. Will see the majority of his snaps in a pass-rushing edge role while playing a decent amount of snaps as an off-ball box linebacker. Quick twitch explosive off the line of scrimmage. Compensates for lack of length on the edge with play strength and ability to play with power. Demonstrates heavy hands at the point of attack. Shows the ability to generate consistent pass-rush with initial quickness, play strength, and motor. Plays with excellent range and closing speed off the ball, displaying a violence at the point of attack. Instinctive three-down linebacker that has ability to play on or off ball at the next level and can add pass-rushing value on passing downs. Plays with outstanding effort and will add immediate special teams value at the next level. Projects to a high level Power-Five multi-year starter at the collegiate level. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Cooper Petagna NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2)

247Sports rank: 4-star | 95 rating | No. 61 Overall | No. 8 DL Top schools: Auburn | Florida | Florida State | Georgia | LSU | Miami | Ohio State | Oregon | South Carolina | USC 247Sports Crystal Ball: Florida State 100% Measurables: 6-4.5 | 300 Scouting report: A big-framed defensive lineman that has flashed some elite get off. Reportedly measured in at just under 6-foot-5, 300 pounds the winter of 2022. More impressively, had an 84-inch wing span to go along with 10.75-inch hands. By far one of the most promising prospects to ever come out of Jacksonville Westside. Looks like a man amongst boys next to his teammates when down in a three or four-point stance. Shoots his way into the backfield with a quick first step. Does a nice job of shifting his weight as he works east-west and has shown that he can squeeze his way through gaps to make a stop. Wins more times than not on Friday nights by simply overwhelming opposing blockers with his sheer mass and power. However, has also shown that he can get after the quarterback by untitling a well-timed spin move. Can displace obstacles with a stiff long arm, as well. Hasn’t exactly faced elite competition to date, but did total a season-high six tackles as a junior against Valdosta, which is one of the more respected programs in Georgia. Limited testing data makes it hard to really paint the full picture, but length, burst and ability to get low at that size is rare. Likely going to need a few years of coaching before he’s ready to go on Saturdays and must keep evolving as a player, but should be viewed as an interior lineman with pass rushing upside that can provide a spark at the Power 5 level. Somewhat scheme versatile and could potentially be molded into a 4i, a 3, a 2i or even a 0-technique depending on what’s needed. – 247Sports Southeast Recruiting Analyst Andrew Ivins NFL Draft projection: 4-7 Round (Day 3)

247Sports rank: 4-star | 94 rating | No. 65 Overall | No. 5 CB Top schools (VIP): Alabama | Georgia | LSU | Michigan | Ohio State | Oregon | Texas | Texas A&M 247Sports Crystal Ball: LSU 50% | Texas 50% Measurables: 6-0 | 185 Scouting report: From a measurable standpoint he checks in where you would on a top defensive back prospect to be at 6-foot-0 and 185-pounds. Long limbed athlete that has a 77-inch wingspan to further validate his overall size. His athleticism is above average when you have a chance to watch him and shows up constantly. Toviano is a muscular broad shouldered young man that still has a lot of room to add mass and gain strength as he develops in the weight room. His lower half is lean and well defined. Flashes very good quickness and change of direction for a longer body athlete. Does a nice job of being smooth transitioning once he flips his hips and is light on his feet. Good in his back pedal keeping his body square with the ability to plant and go once the receiver has declared in his break. Good in press coverage where he doesn’t panic and show patience as he mirrors the receiver with good eye placement and leverage. Once the ball is in the air he reacts well to the receiver going for it and he attacks their hands to make a play. In off-coverage flashes the instincts to read and react quickly and not get caught in bad body position. Does a nice job of getting depth on his drops and staying in his zone without chasing receivers and being disciplined. A player that is a very good overall athlete as he has 3-phase snaps on special teams offense and defense. Shows good speed with the ability to chase down guys. Willing to come up and tackle in the run support. Plays with good strength and is physical. Depending on how he matures and grows he could transition to safety as well. He has the ability and skill to have a multi-all-conference type career ending up with an NFL type career. Look for him to be a top 2 to 3-round selection. – 247Sports National Recruiting Expert Chris Singletary NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2)

247Sports rank: 4-star | 94 rating | No. 76 Overall | No. 4 ATH Commitment date: Sat., Oct. 22 Top schools (VIP): Georgia | Michigan | Nebraska | Oklahoma | Ole Miss | Oregon | USC 247Sports Crystal Ball: Nebraska 100% Measurables: 6-5 | 190 Scouting report: Tall, long, and lean with significant frame space. Narrow through the core but plenty of room to add needed mass. Two-way playmaker at outside receiver and defensive end with physical tools and requisite athleticism to play either side of the ball in the long term. That said, may project higher as an edge rusher. Plays with a consistent motor and flashes chase-down pursuit athleticism. Closes fast and finishes tackles stronger than lean, sinewy build suggests. Dangerous back-side rusher who produced four forced fumbles as a junior. Height, reach, and athleticism foster ball-winning ability on offense. Big-play machine with 33.0 yards per catch and 10 of 17 receptions going for touchdowns. Open-field top gear pulls away from defenders. Rare multi-sport athlete in regards to physical tools and sizzling track data. Posted at least 10 sub-11.00 100s and at least four sub-22.00 200s in junior track season. Ripped PRs of 10.46 and 21.31, along with a 46+ triple jump. Qualified for state in all three events, finishing second in the 100 and 200 and third in the TJ. Also plays basketball. Needs significant mass addition to maximize effectiveness at the line of scrimmage, particularly vs. the run. Somewhat narrow build could relatively limit bulking capacity. Needs to expand move set to increase pressure rate. Wins matchups with athleticism and effort to this point. Unique, high-ceiling football player with outstanding athleticism and physical tools. May need some time to physically and technically develop, but potential is through the roof. Projects as a high-major recruit with the long-term upside to get drafted, possibly in the top half. – 247Sports Midlands Region Recruiting Analyst Gabe Brooks

247Sports rank: 4-star | 94 rating | No. 87 Overall | No. 7 ATH 247Sports Crystal Ball: Notre Dame 100% Measurables: 6-0 | 190 Scouting report: Has a high-end combination of size, explosiveness as well as timed speed. Track guy who has had good results as a sprinter and then further backed up those results in football camp settings. Plays a lot of traditional halfback in high school, but could see more of a hybrid role come college. Has not been asked to run routes and catch the ball from a receiver spot as much at his school, but has shown he can do that at camps. If he needs to play running back, he can play running back. He needs more reps as a receiver, but there are flashes that he can do that. Regardless, he is a player who can get offensive touches in a variety of ways and has home run speed from any part of the field. Will need to settle into an offensive system and role in college, but has the pre-requisite tools to be a difference maker. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Allen Trieu NFL Draft projection: 4-7 Round (Day 3) Player comparison: Cordarrelle Patterson | RB | Atlanta Falcons

247Sports rank: 4-star | 93 rating | No. 130 Overall | No. 16 DL 247Sports Crystal Ball: Miami 100% Measurables: 6-2 | 250 Scouting report: A productive pass rusher that appears to be just scratching the surface of his potential. Lined up primarily out on the edge as a junior for one South Florida’s top talent-producing program and simply dominated totaling over 15 sacks. Quick get off allows him to work his way around most offensive tackles with ease on Fridays, but square frame suggests that he might ultimately kick inside at the next level as he’s still growing and could eventually push 280 pounds or more. Has a few different moves in his toolbox and is rather effective with a simple dip. Understands to some degree how to stack and shed while keeping his eyes in the backfield. Not one to give up on a rush and will hustle to make a stop outside of the hashes. Comes from a football family as both his uncle and brother were multi-year starters at the FBS level. Will need to keep developing and add some core strength over the next few years in hopes of not getting overpowered and washed away on Saturdays, but looks like the type of defensive lineman that can flush out pockets and put pressure on quarterbacks. – 247Sports Southeast Recruiting Analyst Andrew Ivins NFL Draft projection: 4-7 Round (Day 3)

247Sports rank: 4-star | 93 rating | No. 137 Overall | No. 20 DL 247Sports Crystal Ball: North Carolina 100% Measurables: 6-4 | 262 Scouting report: Has verified size with multi-sport profile with productivity in football and basketball. Plays significant snaps on offense and defense. Has 80-plus inch wing span. Quick-twitched high-level athlete. Had 20 1/2 tackles for loss as junior. Averaged 14.7 points per game in basketball for Class 2A state champion. Gets off line quickly as edge rusher or playing as 5- or 7-technique. Shows burst at snap and closing speed near ball carrier. Possesses excellent body control, which shines as a pass-catching tight end. Has upper body strength to disengage. Understands how to use hands to keep offensive linemen off him. Change of direction a plus given size. Foot quickness and explosion also evident on basketball court. Can chase down plays on back side. Shows some ability to stack and shed but has to continue to work on anchoring when teams run at him. Has to continue to develop in the lower body. Increased lower body flexibility will aid in chance of direction, and ability to win leverage battles at point of attack. Relies heavily on speed and athleticism so much continue to develop technique and move sets. Can play early at Top 20 program. Has mid-round NFL draft potential. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Brian Dohn NFL Draft projection: 4-7 Round (Day 3)

247Sports rank: 4-star | 92 rating | No. 144 Overall | No. 9 S 247Sports Crystal Ball: Ole Miss 71.4% | USC 28.6% Measurables: 6-1 | 185 Scouting report: Physically where you want him to be coming into college with a 76 1/2 wingspan. Length and lean muscular frame are encouraging factors. Can add more mass to an already defined frame. Shows above average quickness and change of direction with a good backpedaling and ability to stay square with the receiver. Well coached in his technique with good eye placement in zone coverage along with using length in press man to knock receivers off their timing. Does a nice job of leveraging receivers and staying in phase and on top of the route. Tracks the ball well and has above average ball skills. Does a good job of getting off the stalk block. Closes fast to either make the tackle or to be a factor in the run game, where he is a strong tackler. Does a very good job of keying and reacting to the play. Owns an NFL pedigree in his father (Michael Myers, who played at Alabama and for the Dallas Cowboys). Strong presence of football intelligence shows on film. – 247Sports National Recruiting Expert Chris Singletary NFL Draft projection: 4-7 Round (Day 3)

247Sports rank: 4-star | 92 rating | No. 147 Overall | No. 13 CB 247Sports Crystal Ball: Michigan 100% Measurables: 6-1 | 170 Scouting report: Has the desired physical tools for a high-end defensive back prospect. Has good height and length. Track background and verified combine results back up his straight line speed. Has additionally shown his athleticism and open-field ability as a return man and offensive player. Shows good hands and ability to play the ball in the air. Will flash in run support and run through ball carriers. Still needs to get stronger but willingness with contact is a good sign for his future in run support. Projects as a cornerback or free safety. Has the versatility and measureables to do either at a high level, will just need to get to college and focus on a position and continue to develop his technique. But a Power Five starter and likely NFL Draft pick. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Allen Trieu NFL Draft projection: 4-7 Round (Day 3) Player comparison: Lonnie Johnson | CB | Houston Texans
