247 Rankings updates - 2022 Football targets

Submitted by AZBlue on February 24th, 2021 at 2:42 PM

Saw on the Twitters that 247 came out with updated rankings today so I took a look....

Not a whole lot of change for our 5 current commits.

There was notable movement on several targets.  Notes: I do not consider myself a recruitnik so please feel free to add and correct as needed.  I have used 247's numbers as they are the most recent site to do an update.

QB -- M put out recent offers to 3 QBs.  The 2 I remembered were Drew Allar from Ohio and Cade Klubnik (?) from TX.  --  Allar jumped over 350 spots to #89 overall and a rating of 94.  Klubnik jumped 120 spots to 99 overall.

TE - Oscar Delp out of GA (M was his first offer and he grew up a M fan fwiw) jumped about 200 spots to 81 overall -- This appears to be a UGA v. M battle per a recent Webb/Lorenz podcast

WR - Illinois targets Caleb Brown and Tyler Morris both fell 15-20 spots to #59 and #78 respectively.  Both held their 247 ratings so this was a case of others moving up.  I believe Brown is considered a M v OSU battle where Morris is considered most likely to M.

CB - M legacy "5-star" Will Johnson shows down 18 spots to 33 in the new 247 rankings - outside their traditional 5-star cutoff.  This one is strange to me and I assume will change as the cycle progresses. Currently 247 has only 4 listed 5-stars, only 7 prospects rated 96 or higher, and prospects 8-45 all have the same 95 rating as Johnson.  Johnson announces this Sunday between M, USC, and OSU with M considered the most likely destination.

RB -- Gavin Sawchuck out of Colorado is considered a 5-star by the composite is in the same range as Johnson on 247 at 44 overall and a 95 rating (down 1).  Apparently he is Mike Hart's #1 target though current Ballz are 100% to OU.
