EAST

When it comes to rushing the passer, the East has some very good defensive end prospects with high ceilings, and lots of room for development.

The No. 2 player in the nation, Penn State commit Micah Parsons of Harrisburg (Pa.) High, hits up the 7-on-7 scene and plays cornerback, running back, receiver and linebacker. His athleticism and ability on the field have some schools telling Parsons he can play running back and defensive end, but make no mistakes about it, he can be a lethal defensive end who can change games.

There is also a lot of depth behind Parsons at the defensive end slot in the region.

Four-star prospects Tyler Friday of Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco, Eyabi Anoma of Baltimore St. Frances, Thomas Booker of Baltimore Gilman and Dorian Hardy of Paramus (N.J.) Catholic are each defensive end prospects. Also, Notre Dame commit Justin Ademilola of Jersey City (N.J.) St. Peter's Prep, Dante Stills of Fairmont (W. Va.) High, T.J. Banks of North Versailles (Pa.) East Allegheny and Tyler Baylor of Olney (Md.) Good Counsel are also on pushing to get a fourth star.

MIDLANDS

It is a tremendous year for the defensive back in the state of Texas and Anthony Cook is currently the best of the best. He has all of the skills that you look for in a true cover corner. He is a technician at the position and has the size and attitude to play in tight coverage against the biggest and baddest wide receivers. The newly minted five-star prospect climbs the ladder to the No. 1 spot in the Midlands. He is a hard working prospect with an attitude and zest for the craft that we feel will help translate to his collegiate success. Cook is an UnderArmour-All-American and has been invited to The Opening Finals.

The depth at the safety position is amazing in the Midlands region, as there are five safeties rated in the Scout Top 100 in 2018.

Topping the list is Angleton (Texas) High athlete B.J. Foster, who is now the No. 1 rated safety in the region after being reclassified to the position from athlete. Following Foster is TCU commit Atanza Vongor from Grand Prairie (Texas) South Grand Prairie and LSU commit Caden Sterns from Cibolo (Texas) Steele. Arp (Texas) defender DeMarvion Overshown has one of the nation’s most elite offer lists and will remain rated at safety, but he could also get a look at linebacker as he grows and matures. Rounding out that impressive list of specimens is fierce defender Leon O'Neal from Cypress (Texas) Springs, who takes up his rightful place in the Scout Top 100.
