Top Prospects To Watch
Team Armour: Dylan Moses (OLB)
It's rare for a prospect to spend as much time in the spotlight as Moses has without losing some of their luster. Typically, the more time analysts spend watching a player, the easier it is to spot flaws. But he's remained at the forefront of the 2017 class for a handful of years.
He's a 5-star prospect who ranks as the No. 6 overall player among next season's incoming group, according to Scout.com. In addition, the high-end athlete ranks as the top outside linebacker in the class, and he's also capable of playing running back.
What makes Moses special is the ability to handle anything thrown his way. If there's anything asked of a linebacker, he can do it. He's shown an advanced understanding of how to attack the passer, set the edge against the run or drop back into coverage on passing downs.
He's honed that raw talent at the IMG Academy alongside many of the other players who will be on the field New Year's Day. The defender explained to Jim Halley of USA Today High School Sports why the program is producing so many budding stars.
"From where I came from, I didn't get as much competition," Moses said. "As soon as I stepped on IMG's campus, it was competition from the get-go. Day in, day out, we have to give 100 percent. It's pretty tiring and at the same time, it has to make you better."
The daily competition has helped him live up to the hype, and there's no reason to believe that will change once he arrives at Alabama. Bleacher Report's Tyler Donohue provided a bullish assessment of what to expect from the rising star at the next level:
"It remains to be seen how many Alabama defenders declare for early NFL draft entry, but we expect Moses to make a push for reps throughout his first spring camp. This is an incredibly nuanced player for his age, and there's supportive evidence to suggest he'll take on the arduous nature of day-to-day collegiate tasks in stride.
When it comes to defensive players, he is the closest thing college football recruiting has seen to a LeBron James prospect. Recognized for rare athleticism and attributes during early-teen years, he's largely fulfilled prodigious promise and will enter the next chapter of a heavily monitored football career with plenty of people clamoring about his professional potential.
"
Moses is a special prospect with the potential to become the Crimson Tide's next stud defender before going high in the NFL draft. While it may seem too soon to make those type of projections, the same thing was said when he started generating attention in eighth grade, and the upside proved real.
Team Highlight: Stanford Samuels (CB)
Few assets in football today are more valuable than a big, physical corner. It's right there with edge rusher and left tackle in terms of key spots behind quarterback. Samuels fits the mold to perfection and should become even stronger during his time in college.
The 6'2'', 170-pound Florida native is a 5-star prospect who checks in as the No. 10 overall recruit and the No. 2 cornerback in the 2017 class, per Scout.com.
While he owns all the tools necessary to become a legitimate lock-down corner, that's not all he brings to the table. He's also displays a willingness to play aggressive in run support, an area where many young corners shy away, which is a great sign for his overall long-term impact.
Luke Stampini of CBS Sports provided one example from the DB's high school campaign:
Samuels isn't taking part in the Under Armour All-America Game just to show off his skill, though. He's also working to help Florida State put the finishing touches on its recruiting class.
Brendan Sonnone of Noles247 passed along the corner's comments about using his time around other top prospects to sell the Seminoles:
"A couple guys that we're trying to get are playing in that game. It's an opportunity to put a stamp on the class.
I think we'll get a couple, but even if we manage to get just one, that's a huge get for us just because of the caliber of guys I just named. Going after the top guys, we plan on winning a national championship soon and got to get ready to roll.
"
He added: "Those guys ... I just tell them I know they want to win, I know how I am about it, so I tell them straight up that we expect to do a lot of winning the next couple years, and they can be a part of it or see us eventually."
All told, coaches love to see players with that all-in attitude toward helping build the team. Add in the fact Samuels should become one of the top corners in the nation and FSU fans should be ecstatic he's on his way to become a linchpin of their defense.
