4. Malcolm Greene (4-star, No. 282 nationally)/ Walker Parks (4-star, No. 50 nationally)
For this next spot, we’ve got a tie.
We don’t typically like to judge freshmen and make statements about their recruiting rankings because we simply haven’t seen enough of them to know what they’ll do, but there are always exceptions to the rule.
If you watched Malcolm Greene or Walker Parks in limited play this year, you know they were vastly underrated. Should they have been 5-stars? Well, that’s debatable and still probably up in the air depending on how their careers shape out, but no one can argue they don’t deserve a little more than what they got.
After all, Green- who might’ve been the best-performing DB of the season for the Tigers- was ranked No. 282 nationally. Parks, who is going to be the starter at LT, was only a 4-star and rated as the No. 5 overall OT. Are there really five offensive tackles better than him in this class?
