Yes you are right now. Not sure if you will be correct after his SR year when he signs. Obviously, this was a trajectory pick up as the kid is 15 years old. I don’t think Cantwell was on the National stage at 15 either.

This year, I thought the offensive line group was as good as its been in a while. Defensive line looked pretty good. On the other hand, the defensive back group was as thin as it's been in years. The wide receiver group (which wasn't particularly special) outnumbered the DBs...
