The wide receiver position is the deepest in the rankings, boasting 22 players. Next is the Offensive linemen and the defensive backs. Each of those have 17. The wide receivers have four in the Top Ten and the defensive linemen, though only 7 overall, have three in the Top Ten and all three of those guys are going to be playing Power Five football at the next level.
Obviously, there are some players that didn’t make the list that are fine football players and many of them may even play at some level in college. But this is the group that I’ve ended up with after three months of watching film and talking to opposing coaches of players.
THIS is the Class of 2023 MIDLANDS TOP 100
