The defensive back position is the deepest of any other position in the Midlands. This list has got several players who are going to be Power Five prospects, including our top DB, Lakewood’s Brandon Cisse, who is already committed to NC State. There are 25 deep because we have so many talented players and we are including both safeties and corners.
Here are my Top Defensive Backs in the Midlands.
