*****
The pick: Penn State
Why: “He will be up there with them and maybe some other schools.” - Kyle Altuner
The pick: Kentucky
Why: "I just feel like it was a good fit there. Because I know my former teammate told me why I go there, so I know he's been recruiting him a lot, so I feel like he'll go to Kentucky." - O'Neal
*****
The pick: Rutgers
Why: “Chop. Chop. He has a good connection with the D-line coach and when we talk it might give him a home feeling. I feel like that’s where he might go.” - Seaton

The pick: Penn State
Why: “I’d probably say Penn State or one of those big schools.” - Altuner
The pick: Penn State

The pick: Penn State
Why: "They've been getting a lot of commits lately." - O'Neal
*****
The pick: Georgia
Why: “He might go to Georgia. I just think he’s going there.” - Walker

Why: “I don’t know where Sydir is going, he keeps it quiet, but (Georgia) would be a good fit for him with Jordan Davis coming out of there but I have no clue at the moment.” - James Heard
The pick: Ole Miss
Why: “If Ole Miss was on his top list, I would say Ole Miss because I saw him up there and we had an interesting talk.” - Seaton
The pick: Penn State or Georgia

The pick: Penn State
Why: "I feel like Penn State would be good for him." - O'Neal
