1. Andrew Booth, 5-star CB
Comparison: Mackensie Alexander
This is the comparison we’ve heard since Andrew Booth, the 5-star cornerback, committed to the Tigers.
And, it’s a good one.
When you look at what these two guys- Alexander and Booth- you see a lot of similarities.
Both of these guys play with a little chip on their shoulder. They’re both lock down cornerbacks. When I look at Booth, I actually see him as a bit more physical than Alexander with the opposing wide receivers and he’s also bigger [6-foot-1 compared to 5-foot-11].
Next. NFL Combine Profile: Christian Wilkins. dark
Booth, like Alexander, is going to be a guy that contributes right away.
I honestly believe he has a chance to win the starting position at the cornerback spot opposite-side AJ Terrell before it’s all said and done.
