2022 CFN Preseason True Freshman All-American Defense
EDGE David Bailey, Stanford
The rare early enrollee at Stanford, Bailey is set to become one of the Pac-12’s most electrifying young pass rushers.
DT Walter Nolen, Texas A&M
A freak among freaks at 6-4 and 325 pounds, even a deep tackle rotation at A&M won’t keep Nolen off the field this season.
DT Damonic Williams, TCU
Williams was a steal for Sonny Dykes, who raved about his nose tackle in the spring and is giving him first team reps this summer.
EDGE Mykel Williams, Georgia
Williams might be the next great edge defender in Athens, with the frame, athleticism and work ethic to contribute right away.
LB Lander Barton, Utah
One of the highest rated recruits of the Kyle Whittingham era, the instinctive Barton could lead the Utes in tackles this season.
LB Dasan McCullough, Indiana
The highest rated recruit in Hoosier history can play linebacker or stand-up end, and he’s going to play plenty this season.
LB Harold Perkins, LSU
The staff is raving this summer about Perkins, whose athleticism is matched only by his upperclassmen-level instincts.
DB Domani Jackson, USC
Long, physical and blazing fast, Jackson is the prototype at a program in the market for lockdown corners this fall.
DB Will Johnson, Michigan
From his first spring practices, it was clear why Johnson was the nation’s top corner recruit… and why he’ll play right away as a freshman.
DB Jaden Mickey, Notre Dame
Silky smooth, with a solid spring in the rear view mirror, Mickey is ready to earn reps at field corner or nickel.
DB Azareye’h Thomas, Florida State
The Seminole secondary may be experienced, but it’ll be tough keeping Thomas’ balls skills and explosiveness off the field.
