Who ranked him as #1? If they did, it is going off strictly combines or camps because that game film is not that impressive when you factor in the competition. And as a Clinton graduate you should know about the difference in competition (ie. Going up against the likes of Brandon, Meridian, MC, Starkville, SP etc....is a tougher test than what he is facing). Plus I need to know what service it was so I can pay little attention to their rankings going forward.


According to the 247 Composite, which pulls from all of the recruiting sites, he is ranked as the #1 player in the state of Mississippi for the Class of 2017. Hate on all of them.

ETA: Yes, being from Clinton I know the competition Akers is facing is much tougher than Morton. However, Akers is playing out of position as a QB whereas he'll be a RB in college. He's going to need some time to adjust the college game, just like Bowie, because he has zero experience pass blocking.

I had it backwards. Composite 1, 24/7 2.

True. I think GT offered him as a QB. Hopefully he's not dumb enough to bite on that.
