1. BRYAN BRESEE

Comparison: Nick Bosa

Overview: Bosa was a dominant force at Ohio State when healthy and basically did as he pleased at defensive end. Bresee could be a bigger version of that since he is already 6-foot-5 and 280 pounds and is committed to Clemson, which clearly knows how to develop defensive line talent. The five-star defensive end has power to dominate offensive linemen and surprising speed to the edge. He’s special - just like Bosa was in high school - and it wouldn’t be shocking to see him as a first-round draft pick down the line.

Farrell’s take: Bresee is bigger than Bosa at the same stage but slightly less explosive. However, he’s ranked higher because he can play defensive end or tackle at the next level. His motor is similar to Bosa’s and he has excellent pass-rushing moves as well. It’s hard to beat either Bosa, Joey or Nick, but Bresee has a chance to be as good.

3. MYLES MURPHY

Comparison: Chase Young

Overview: Murphy was terrific at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge presented by adidas last summer, which was especially impressive since he was an underclassman at the event. It didn’t matter. The five-star has an excellent frame where he could probably still add weight, he’s quick to the inside, quick to the edge and can win reps basically however he wants. Young plays in a similar way where he’s fast and aggressive off the edge and that’s why he led Ohio State with 10.5 sacks last season. Murphy, who has Clemson, Georgia and Auburn on top, could be special at the next level.

Farrell’s take: Murphy is a little more advanced as a pass rusher at the same level but Young was a little more athletic. This is a great comparison because Murphy could easily hit college and become a star at a young age. Young should be a first-rounder when he comes out and it wouldn’t surprise me if Murphy did the same down the line.
