OT JACQAWN MCROY (UNCOMMITTED)

247Sports Ranking: No. 63 overall, No. 3 OT

Next-Highest Ranking: Unranked, No. 39 OT

It appears to be a pretty down cycle for blue-chip offensive tackles, but Pinson (Ala.) Clay-Chalkville’s JacQawn McRoy remains a favorite inside the 247Sports’ scouting department. He’s a mammoth of a human that’s tipping the scales somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-foot-8, 365 pounds. McRoy will need to keep properly managing his weight if he wants to reach his full potential, but his ability to extend the arc that pass rushers must run in hopes of getting home is super unique (picture a high school three-point line all of the sudden meeting NBA standards). McRoy, who had the longest reach of anyone at a loaded Under Armour Camp outside of Atlanta last month, just visited Clemson.

5-STAR WR CAMERON COLEMAN (UNCOMMITTED)

New Top247 Ranking: No. 21

Previous: No. 189

As we alluded to earlier, one of the positional strengths of the 2024 Top247 is at wide receiver. Although there are a lot of intriguing wide outs, the additions of prospects like: Bryant Wesco, Cameron Coleman and Mylan Graham add another layer of depth to the board.

In the case of Cameron Coleman, there’s no debating the Central High School standout’s physical clay. Standing at over 6-foot-3 and 180-pounds, Coleman recently registered a sub 4.50 40-yard dash and almost an 11-foot broad jump during this off-season’s combine circuit.

Although the testing numbers are certainly something to write home about, it was Coleman’s performance in Atlanta at the Under Armour Combine that was most notable. Using his size, speed and athleticism to his advantage, Coleman is a walking mismatch that can stress opposing defenses in a variety of ways. A linear threat in the passing game, the Alabama native will need to continue to polish up his route running ability. But outside of Bryant Wesco, you’re going to be hard pressed to find a more physically impressive prospect in the country.

How fast is Alabama commit and reigning Mr. Football winner Ryan Williams?

The Saraland sophomore won the 100-meter dash at the Jim Tate Relays in Mobile last week with a time of 10.68 seconds, the fastest time in the state so far during the outdoor season.

Williams also won the 300-meter dash with a time of 34.80 seconds and won the high jump with a leap of 6-feet, 8 inches. His high jump ties for the best jump in the outdoor season so far.
