------------------

Cam Hart has confirmed he is returning for the 2023 season. Not a total surprise in my opinion as I don't think he made as much noise as he did during his 2021 season. This additional year may help his draft stock. I assume that is what he is hoping.

Clarence Lewis seemed to be a good soldier as playing time increased for Bracy and then Morrison. His experience should keep him in the two deep next season.

Philip Riley Nothing to report

Ryan Barnes Nothing to report

Chance Tucker Nothing to report

Jaden Mickey saw the field early as a true freshmen and then often as the season progressed. He will be in the rotation in 2023. He is on the trajectory to be a multi-year starter at the position.

Benjamin Morrison was the defensive star of the 2022 season. He emerged as a player that will be a multiple year starter and may eventually end up a day 1 NFL draft pick. His future is bright!

Christian Gray and Micah Bell are very solid prospects. Both rated in the top 20 at the cornerback position in the class of 2023. Both have a composite rating above .9400


2024 Targets

Eli Bowen (Peyton's brother) and Kaleb Beasley are both being heavily recruited by Notre Dame. Beasley is currently holding a stronger composite rating (0.9244 for Beasley versus 0.8935 for Bowen)

Karson Hobbs has already given his verbal commitment. Early projections show him being a 3-star prospect.
