'25 Verbal

J. Gilbert(CB) No Rankings yet from 247. Birm thinks he's a Top 15-20 player in that class.

I only listed players in the Top 200, except for Matthews. I think he's under-ranked.

There are some other talented D players, just ranked outside the Top 200.

Follow Ups:

• The D has talent at all three levels, it just needs cohesion * - G-Man [13:22:32 08/03/22]
• Martinez would be another baller to put on the list...Dude is a potential playmaker on D. * - Xenia Buck [12:48:11 08/03/22]
