Top Five: Defense

1. DB, Chase Williams

Williams is a smooth, controlled defensive back prospect that always seems to be comfortable with what's coming at him. He also has great ball skills which he showcased with a few impressive interceptions. He's a Nebraska commit and looks like a really low-risk guy for the Huskers.

2. LB, De'Gabriel Floyd

In what was an outstanding group of linebackers, Floyd earned the MVP award as an underclassman. He did it by being a consistent top performer in every drill from the cat and mouse to the pass rush drill, Floyd was always setting the bar for the other linebackers. He's an early USC pledge.

3. DT, Jacob Bandes

An unknown to me before this event, Bandes balled out in Oakland. He rarely lost a rep all day, showing a really impressive blend of quickness, power and instincts on the interior. Only a class of 2019 prospect, Bandes already sports offers from UCLA, Oregon State, Utah and San Jose State.

4. LB, Cameron McGrone

Making the trip all the way from Indianapolis, McGrone made it count in our eyes. He was maybe the most impressive linebacker in terms of closing speed in the cat and mouse drills with the linebackers. Notre Dame is showing interest and he also has offers from Indiana, Tennessee, Wisconsin and others.

5. LB, Brandon Kaho

A guy that plays a lot of offense for his high school, Kaho wasn't always the most comfortable linebacker in drills but when you combine the way he did perform in those drills with his off-the-charts testing numbers, we really liked what we saw. Kaho is a BYU commit but watch out for Washington in this one.
