Wilson has blown up this offseason after a few impressive showings. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound athlete stars on both sides of the ball for Tampa (Fla.) Gaither, and he'll likely have the opportunity to play offense or defense at the next level.

As a receiver, Wilson does a great job running crisp routes and exploding out of his breaks, which creates a lot of separation with defenders. He runs very hard and is always a threat to pick up big chunks of yards after the catch because defenders seem to have a hard time bringing him down.

Defensively, Wilson is a physical defensive back that does a great job tracking the ball when it's in the air. He is a threat to get his hands on the ball on every pass play. In the last month Wilson has added offers from Alabama, Penn State, Georgia, South Carolina, Oregon and Florida.

Mubenga checks the boxes from a physical perspective and could end up a guard or tackle at the next level. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound lineman out of Buford, Ga., is very quick at the snap and is strong enough to push some big defensive linemen backward.

Mubenga does a good job pulling and finding defenders to block at the second and third levels. Unless he gets a lot bigger at the college level, Mubenga's impressive lateral quickness and overall athleticism could turn out to be two of his biggest assets.

College coaches are looking for explosive athletes at defensive end to terrorize quarterbacks, and Nixon looks like a great one. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound defensive end plays with a fantastic motor and seems to be always moving with a sense of urgency. The energy he has as a pass rusher could make him one of the most heavily pursued defensive linemen in this class.

Nixon has the strength to beat linemen to the inside or hold his ground at the point of attack. His hand techniques might not be overly advanced, but they are very effective when he combines them with his quickness and aggressiveness.

Florida, LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Ole Miss, Penn State, Utah and Miami have offered him in the last two months.

Anderson looks very natural at outside linebacker. Around 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, Anderson is an outstanding athlete that can make plays in the backfield and in coverage. He brings a sense of toughness to the edge of the defense, especially when he blitzes and makes a play in the backfield. Anderson has longer arms than the opposition realizes, so he can make tackles ball carriers don't think he can and he can knock down passes quarterbacks don't anticipate.

The Georgia native can cover running backs out of the backfield or tight ends that line up in the slot. He's shown the ability to turn his head toward the ball in man coverage and make big plays.

Many receivers don't like tall and long defensive backs, so they won't like Strozier. At 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, Strozier does a great job using that length to his advantage. He jams receivers at the line of scrimmage and he's able to reach in front of receivers to keep passes out of their hands.

Strozier has the footwork and overall speed to keep receivers in front of him and stay within arm's length. It will be interesting to see him throughout the rest of the spring because he could be putting together a resume that will warrant him to be ranked fairly high.
