2023’s Most Underrated Pac-12 Recruits

Grant Buckey, Asaad Waseem, and other under-the-radar Pac-12 recruits who will make a big impact

1. DE Grant Buckey, UCLA

A big, physical defensive end, Buckey has the frame to be an elite strongside end. Already 6’5 and 265 lbs, you could see him grow into a Bosa-brothers level player because of his violent hands and quick first step. A great flip late in the cycle from Chip Kelly, who stole him from Lincoln Riley across town.

Buckey (6’5” 265) works the club/swim & beats his blocker clean. Ends up getting a strip-sack!

Buckey currently holds offers from Stanford, Michigan, Oregon State, Cal, San Jose State & UNLV! @BrandonHuffman #passrush pic.twitter.com/p1DB9Tkofm

2. S Johnathan Hall, Utah

At 6’2″ and 220 lbs., Hall is physically ready to contribute coming straight out of high school. The Katy, TX native will fit right in with Kyle Whittingham’s tough, gritty defenses.

3. WR Marquis Montgomery, Cal

Another player who has a body ready for the college game, the 6’5″ Montgomery could see immediate action in four- and five-receiver sets for the Golden Bears this fall. He’s a nightmare matchup in jump ball situations and has deceptive speed with long strides. The JUCO addition brings a new skillset to the wide receiver room in Berkeley.

4. RB Tybo Rogers, Washington

A slippery back with a thick lower half, Rogers is a versatile athlete who could also see action as a returner early in his career in Seattle. The three-star recruit will have the chance to crack the two-deep as a true freshman.

5. WR Asaad Waseem, Colorado

Coach Prime brought in six receivers in his first class in Boulder, so while Omarion Miller and Adam Hopkins are the headliners, don’t forget about Waseem, who is as dynamic in space as any of them. If he can put 10-15 pounds on his 167-pound frame and keep his quickness and acceleration, he can be a special player in Sean Lewis’ offense.
