Recruits to Watch
Byron Cowart, SDE, Undecided
Few defenders who will take the field Friday come in as highly regarded as Armwood High Scool's Byron Cowart.
The Seffner, Fla. native comes in at 6'4" and 250 pounds—with an eye-popping 4.6 40-yard dash time. That last number in large part explains his ability to put on a show in this week's set of practices, as Football Vines captures:
A 5-star recruit and the top strong-side defensive end in the country, Cowart has a blend of size that allows him to clog gaps and speed to apply pressure, which is something most teams in the nation covet.
It makes sense that the Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles seem to be the front-runners right now. No matter where he ends up, Cowart will wreak havoc once acclimated.
For now, he gets a final, sure-to-be explosive sendoff.
Tyron Johnson, WR, Undecided
Want to know why Tyron Johnson is a 5-star recruit and the No. 2 wideout in the nation?
Observe a moment captured by ESPN's Derek Tyson:
The Warren Easton High School product and New Orleans native is the top known recruit set to announce his commitment Friday, as 247Sports' Daniel Paulling notes:
With hands like that and a frame that comes in at 6'1" and 191 pounds, the speedy receiver who blazed a 4.52 40-yard dash was the crown jewel for many a top program, although LSU, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech appear to be the final three in the running.
Some of the nation's top defenders will attend Friday as well, but if Johnson's practice performances are any indication, there will be no stopping him.
Soso Jamabo, RB, Undecided
Three-down backs are all the rage at the collegiate and professional levels these days as the game continues to evolve.
Soso Jamabo out of Plano West High School will fit right in with the best.
The 5-star running back and top overall player at his position not only has great measurables, but he can also catch a pass under pressure, as ESPN's Tom VanHaaren captures:
Between the tackles, a 6'2.5" and 210-pound frame does Jamabo well, as does 4.55 40-yard dash speed on the edges. These traits will ensure he sees the field as a freshman.
The "where" part of the equation remains an unknown still, although the Texas native seems to have a good idea of what traits his future home will have.
"Probably where I got the best opportunity to now only better myself as a football player, but as a man. Where I feel more family oriented and academically probably the most stable school," Jamabo said, per Greg Powers of Scout.com. "It is where I will feel the most comfortable and where I feel I can be the most successful."
For now, fans of programs such as UCLA and Notre Dame will need to settle for a strong performance by Jamabo.
