Took a minute to look back at some of our past rankings in the Sark era.
2021 - #15 - 248.65
2022 - #5 - 289.04
2023 - #3 - 304.09
2024 - #6 - 286.90
2025 - #1 - 312.27
2026 - TBD - 289.05
This class is shaping up pretty similarly to the 2023 class in terms of score/rank, size, and 5 star distribution (QBs: Manning/Bell; LBs: Hill/Atkinson; B last names: Baxter/Bishop).
The 2024 class ranked lower because we only had 22 signees. But to the discussion about the 2022 class, it could have as many contributors this year (between 9 and 14) as ‘22 did any year (14 if you’re being generous). A 50% contribution rate on a title contending team is pretty outstanding.
*2024’s 14 possible contributors this year: Simmons, Wingo, Baker, Black, Gibson, Umeozulu, Washington, Livingstone, January, Mack, Smith, Kibble, Clark, Johnson-Rubell
**2022’s 14 contributors (generously defined): Campbell, Banks, Brooks, Blue, Finkley, Guilbeau, Umeozulu, Murphy, Agbo, Hutson, Burke, Williams, Robertson, Red
