Ennis Rakestraw | CB | MIZ
Physical CB that tackles at a high end level. Comfortable in press w/ excellent lateral footwork/quickness to cut WRs off. Balance & footwork consistently sound –> quick transitions & close on routes. Quick processer that excels seeing the whole field pic.twitter.com/va82Lqj37P

— Overlooked a bit on that defense but a heckuva talent.
10. Khyree Jackson, Oregon
— Oregon slowly developing a great DB tradition.
