Rivals.com National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell’s thought-provoking Three-Point Stance is here with some additional teams and their top targets for 2018, a take on Joe Mixon’s Pro Day and Georgia’s chances for Zamir White and recent running back success.

On Wednesday I wrote about the “must get” targets for the reigning Power Five conference champions, but I figured I’d name a few more for some other key programs for the 2018 class as well. Some are no-brainers and some are interesting.

Auburn -- WR Justyn Ross

Okay, I didn’t want to use the same player for two schools, but Ross is very important to Alabama and Auburn and the wide receiver position is huge for the Tigers in 2018.

Florida – DB Tyreke Johnson

You could say quarterback here is a much bigger priority, but their top targets are Justin Fields and Dorian Thompson-Robinson, a Penn State commitment and a heavy UCLA lean respectively. Johnson could play safety or cornerback.

Florida State – DB Patrick Surtain

LSU and Alabama are charging hard but Surtain is a must keep in state as one of the best defensive backs since a guy named Derwin James.

Georgia – OL Jamaree Salyer

Offensive linemen are needed in Athens and this kid is one of the best guards I’ve seen at this stage.

LSU – QB Justin Rogers

I went with Surtain for FSU but LSU wants him badly as well. Quarterbacks are always needed at LSU and his teammate happens to be the top player in the state and his favorite wide receiver target (Terrace Marshall Jr.) to boot.

Miami – DB Al Blades

You could mention a few other defensive backs and Miami has already hit a home run at the running back and quarterback positions, but keeping Blades in the Miami family is key.

Michigan – DE Tyler Friday

I could say QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson because Michigan wants another dual-threat badly, but he is likely to choose UCLA, so I will go with another hard-nosed defensive lineman from New Jersey.

Nebraska – DB Brendan Radley-Hiles

I could have gone with DT Trevor Trout here, but I used him for Oklahoma. Radley-Hiles is a former teammate of Keyshawn Johnson Jr. and Tristan Gebbia and is already a bit of a cult hero amongst fans without even committing.

Ohio State – OL Jackson Carman

A no-brainer here, the best offensive lineman in the state in more than a decade.

Tennessee – DE Greg Emerson

They already met their No. 1 need with OL Cade Mays, but a huge, in-state, athletic defensive end who could play tackle is also a must-get.

Texas – DB Anthony Cook

Cook is an elite corner and a must in-state keep for Tom Herman. BJ Foster is up there as well, but Cook is slightly more elite.

UCLA – QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson

A quarterback is a must and Thompson-Robinson is a package deal with Brevin Jordan, who is also their top tight end target.

USC – WR Jalen Hall

Another elite wide receiver could always be utilized at USC and Hall’s teammate, Joseph Lewis, signed in 2017.

Wisconsin – LB Jack Sanborn

I would say Taron Vincent because his dad, Troy Vincent, played at Wisconsin but we all assume he’s headed to Ohio State or Florida State. I’ll choose Sanborn, who fits the part of a Badgers linebacker in many ways.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Joe Mixon is the most talented running back in the 2017 NFL Draft. And his Pro Day on Wednesday certainly showed what a physical freak he is. At 6-foot-1 and 228 pounds, Mixon ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, he jumped 35 inches on the vertical, his broad jump was 9-foot-10, and his short shuttle was 4.25 seconds. He also put up more than 20 reps in the bench press.

All of those numbers put him near the top of the running backs that were allowed to attend the NFL Combine and his combination of size, speed, elusiveness, power and hands make him a better prospect than Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey or anyone else in this draft. And, in a perfect world, Mixon would never get drafted.

Now don’t get me wrong. I know he will get drafted and he will probably be drafted in round two with his first-round talent. And I’m not against second chances when someone makes a mistake, but I draw the line when it comes to assaulting women. We’ve all seen the video of Mixon knocking out a woman and essentially crushing her face, and there are zero excuses for what Mixon did – none. There are also zero excuses for Bob Stoops allowing him back into his football program and I don’t think there is a good excuse for any NFL team to draft him.

Whatever owner decides to take him will put on a public relations spin you will either believe or find laughable and some community will welcome its next potential superstar with open arms if he can score 10+ touchdowns a year and lead them to the playoffs while others scream that he shouldn’t be in the NFL. But for me, the perfect message from an NFL that says it despises physical or sexual assault on women would be for Mixon to slide all the way out of the draft. But the NFL isn’t about perfect messages and clearly Oklahoma isn’t as well, holding its Pro Day on International Women’s Day in what is, at best, some ridiculous irony and, at worst, yet another lack of understanding regarding the situation by the powers that be.

The one thing I’ve heard the most regarding Mixon is that “if we don’t take him, someone else will” which is similar to what many said about OU taking him back after the assault. If Mixon were an average player, if he didn’t have amazing measurable and testing numbers or if he were just a regular student, we’d never hear from him again. But now we will watch Mixon get drafted, sign an NFL contract and likely succeed in the NFL and cash in big if he can stay out of trouble. That doesn’t sit well with me.

The only national Top 10 player not mentioned above who isn’t already committed is North Carolina running back Zamir White, who I project to Georgia. If White commits to the Dawgs, here would be the national rankings of the last eight big-time running backs the Dawgs would have landed – 23 (Isaiah Crowell 2011), 42 (Todd Gurley 2012), 48 (Keith Marshall 2012), 13 (Sony Michel 2014), 35 (Nick Chubb 2014), 108 (Elijah Holyfield 2016), 35 (D’Andre Swift 2017) and 7 (White in 2018). That’s pretty amazing, trust me.
