We've got two EDGE hellos to get through and we'll go accomplish them in chronological order. First up is Collins Acheampong, a native of Ghana who is slated to play HS football at Santa Margarita Catholic in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (after a recent transfer). Acheampong is a 4* prospect who Michigan had to battle with Miami over to nail down, eventually having "transformational" win out over "transactional" (for once). He's raw, hyper-athletic, and oozing with upside, making this maybe my favorite Hello so far:

Acheampong is a composite 4* prospect, with ESPN being the highest on him (we'll get to that in a minute), while On3 and 24/7 haven't quite raised him up their board to the same degree yet. The measurements in the top row are pretty similar on height, with Acheampong's 6/7-6/8 frame being ideal for a high upside EDGE, while there is some sizable disagreement on his weight. 24/7 and On3 have him a good bit heavier than the other two but that's a matter of recency for their rankings.
