Farrell Files: 10 Guaranteed 2023 5-Stars

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image source=”featured_image” img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]2023 rankings are coming, be patient. In the meantime these are 10 players I feel strongly about being five stars in the class. I haven’t put this edition of the Farrell Files in ranked order.

I haven’t come out with my rankings for 2023 and I’m hoping for August for a full release. But for how here are 10 guys I feel very confident about being five stars in this class.

QB Arch Manning

I always get asked if he’s as good as the hype. He’s not but no one is. He’s a very good quarterback with amazing knowledge of the game and that gives him a chance to be special.

DE Nyckoles Harbor

He runs in the 10.3 range in the 100 meters at 225 pounds. He could be Micah Parsons but faster. He lacks the same instincts at this stage but he’s a freak.

QB Malachi Nelson

He’s overshadowed by Manning but could be better and should be amazing under Lincoln Riley.

DL David Hicks

A big, agile lineman who can play end or tackle is always at a premium and he’s the best in this class.

OT Kadyn Proctor

I love everything about from his set to his hands and he will be special.

DE Keon Keeley

I have him a little higher than some but I think he’s going to be a big rush end who can beat you with speed or power.

WR Carnell Tate

It’s a good receiver year and the position is at a premium but he’s the most polished I’ve seen.

CB Cormani McClain

The best corner in this class so far with his size and natural instincts.

WR Shelton Sampson Jr.

In a class of average-size receivers, he’s got an amazing ceiling as a tall, angular pass catcher.

DE Samuel M’Pemba

He could play offense if he wants, we all know this but his quickness off the edge and the way he flattens is special.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
