1. ATH Brandon Ramirez, Fresno State
Ramirez projects best as a thick, hard-hitting safety, and displays enough versatility to line up in the box, in the slot, or in deep center field. He’s got a motor that should have him seeing time on special teams right away too. But he’s a darn good running back too.
Only thing better than Brandon Ramirez's near record 326 rushing yards vs Central was Ricky Williams-esque interview afterwards with helmet on. @BRANDORAMIREZ_8@SJMgridiron https://t.co/Edg8onLlN8 pic.twitter.com/GwWoF05Lk9

2. LB Alex Kilgore, SMU
A huge pickup for Rhett Lashlee, Kilgore was one of the best linebackers in the state of Texas in 2022. He’s fast, physical, and hits like a ton of bricks.

3. DE Matthew Fobbs-White, Tulane
An undersized but effective pass rusher, the Louisiana native shows a lightning-quick first step on film. He chose to stay with in-state Tulane over some much bigger offers, and could see the field early in his career.

4. WR Brennan Wooten, Western Michigan
Already 6’4″ and 230 lbs., Wooten is physically ready for the college game coming out of Indianapolis. He presents matchup problems as he’s comfortable moving out into the slot as well as lining up as an old school Y.

5. OL Thomas Paasch, Northern Illinois
A big lineman from Green Bay, Paasch carries his 290 pounds really well on a 6’5″ frame, and should be a physical mismatch for a lot of G5 players early on. He’s got enough positional versatility to play anywhere on the line as well.
The state of Wisconsin is great at growing offensive linemen and we just picked ourselves a WINNER!?
Congrats to our newest Huskie, Thomas Paasch @ThomasPaasch3!!#NSD2023 ✍? | #TheHardWay pic.twitter.com/eMO8RI8Xpx
