The 2021 class is nearly a wrap, with just a few stragglers left to sign. With that, we are breaking down the best classes at each positions, continuing today with the defensive tackle.

1. ALABAMA

Damon Payne was a huge steal from the state of Michigan and Tim Keenan III cannot be overlooked at all. They will likely be a big part of yet another Alabama championship.

2. LSU

While Maason Smith is the only defensive tackle in this class, it doesn’t matter. He’s the No. 1 prospect in this class and one of the most elite tackles I’ve ever seen out of high school.

3. OHIO STATE

The Buckeyes have a great duo with different skillsets in Michael Hall and Tyleik Williams. Hall can chase and run things down and Williams stuffs the middle.

5. PITT

Elliott Donald has not only great bloodlines as the nephew of Aaron Donald, but he has an impressive skillset as a gap shooter. Dorien Ford is an impressive in-state prospect who will be a monster in the middle.
