Remember that Agggie edge rusher I said would be a high draft choice next year for consideration to go with Myles. Apparently someone else thinks he will be a top edge rusher along with OSUs Jack Sawyer. I'd be happy with either one of 'em on the other end from Myles.

1. JAMES PEARCE JR., TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS
2. NIC SCOURTON, TEXAS A&M AGGIES *
3. JACK SAWYER, OHIO STATE BUCKEYES
4. KAIMON RUCKER, NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS
5. ASHTON GILLOTTE, LOUISVILLE CARDINALS
Pearce is poised to be the Volunteers' first top-five pick since Eric Berry in 2010 after racking up 10.0 sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss as a sophomore last season. He rated as the No. 173 prospect and No. 18 edge in the class of 2022. Scourton was the second-highest-rated defensive lineman to enroll at Purdue since 2000, trailing only George Karlaftis. He racked up 10.0 sacks and 15.0 tackles for loss as a sophomore last season and packed his bags for Texas A&M this offseason. Sawyer and fellow 2021 five-star JT Tuimoloau are the highest-rated defensive linemen to commit to Ohio State in the modern recruiting era. Sawyer was the only FBS edge to earn 85.0+ grades as a pass rusher and run defender last season and got the nod over Tuimoloau.
