The digital ink hadn’t even dried up from Rivals final rankings of the 2022 recruiting class and each one of their analysts was already having second thoughts. These weren’t necessarily bad thoughts, just regrets about not having a player ranked high enough.
For Adam Friedman, it was Irish linebacker Jaylen Sneed, who was a national top-45 prospect, but did not crack their 5-Star list. The linebacker was described as “one of the most athletic, quick-twitch and bouncy linebackers” that Friedman had covered.
The comparison was very familiar as well, Friedman thinks that Sneed looks like former Butkus Award winner Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. If Sneed has a similar career to JOK, all Irish fans will be happy regardless of what his star ranking was.
