Jul 17, 2019, 12:09 PM
1. LB Justin Flowe (Clemson commit - hopefully) 2. DL Bryan Bresee (Clemson commit) 3. LB Noah Sewell 4. TE Arik Gilbert 5. TE Darnell Washington
FLOWE:
Recruiting: Flowe is seriously considering Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, USC and others and should take some visits through the fall.
Overview: Flowe is currently ranked as the second-best prospect in the 2020 class as an outside linebacker, but in the next rankings he will move to inside linebacker, where he will probably play in college. The five-star is very muscular but still so fluid. He covers so well and there is absolutely no question about his physical ability, because he hits like a truck. It’s almost comical watching him in camps and 7-on-7 because he painfully has to hold himself back from laying people out. Flowe recently squatted 585 pounds at his school and it didn’t seem like much of a problem.
Farrell’s take: If someone told you Flowe was an NFL rookie, you wouldn’t question it, the way he is built and how big and developed he is at this stage. He’s one of the most physically developed and mature linebackers I’ve scouted and it’s scary to think how big he’ll be in a few years.
BRESEE:
Recruiting: Bresee has been committed to Clemson since late April.
Overview: The five-star prospect who’s ranked fourth nationally and tops at defensive tackle has proven he can play all across the defensive line and that he could be one of the next big-time stars at Clemson. He has the speed to get to the edge when playing defensive end and definitely has the power up the middle. Bresee can be a massive end or a gap-shooting, speedy and tough defensive tackle at the next level. There’s no doubt he could easily play around 300 pounds and still routinely get in the backfield to cause problems. He was impressive during one-on-ones and in the bench press competition at the Five-Star Challenge.
Farrell’s take: Bresee is a huge kid for his age, but his athleticism is really what stands out. I could see him playing at 320 pounds without losing a step. Or he could slim down to 275 and be a huge rush end. This kid has the look of an NFL player already.
