4-star CB Nigel Knott

High School: Germantown (Madison, Mississippi)

Size: 5'11", 175 lbs.

247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 5 cornerback; No. 44 overall

When he's not doing back-flip football catches off of building walls, you can find Nigel Knott shutting down his size of the field with incredible range. His ability to dominate in multiple phases of the defense was on full display in 2014, when he tallied 112 tackles and 16 pass breakups.

Knott led all competitors with a 40-yard dash time of 4.30 seconds this summer at The Opening, showing off the quickness that enabled him to average 27 yards per return on four interceptions last season. He is set to announce his college intentions Sept. 23, with Oregon, Ole Miss, LSU and Alabama among programs under consideration.

4-star RB Devin White

High School: North Webster (Springhill, Louisiana)

Size: 6'0 ½", 258 lbs.

247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 6 athlete; No. 88 overall

Devin White may have described his game best during a recent conversation with Bleacher Report recruiting analyst Damon Sayles.

"Effectively, I can play linebacker, wide receiver, running back, anything on special teams, wherever," he said.

White garnered expensive early interest at multiple positions from college coaching staffs. Some view him as a linebacker after 192 tackles the past two seasons, while others point to his 3,381 rushing yards and 50 touchdowns as proof he belongs at running back.

White told Bleacher Report this summer he is exclusively considering programs that envision him on offense, which is a scary though for defenses considering his massive physical frame and sub-4.5 speed. LSU, Ole Miss, Alabama and Arkansas are just a few of the contenders in this recruitment.
