We are four months into 2019 and Recruiting Analyst Chad Simmons has been on the road at camps, 7-on-7 events, watching team workouts and numerous prospects will move up in some fashion when the 2020 Rivals rankings are updated early in the summer.
Here are some names who have seen their stock rise in recent months in the states of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.
Benson worked out at the New Orleans Rivals 3 stripe camp presented by adidas, and what stood out most was his mobility. He is agile on his feet for that size. He worked at tackle and guard, but he is likely an offensive guard on the next level. He is still raw fundamentally, but he has a good frame, he is naturally strong in the trenches and he can move. It is likely to come down to Mississippi State and Ole Miss, but Kentucky and Southern Miss are others to keep an eye on too.
Bryant is a cornerback with size and speed. Whether you watch tape or see him live, Bryant always shows aggression. He plays with an edge and loves the challenge each receiver in front of him presents. Bryant is a versatile defensive back, but he looks best at cornerback with his length, size, ball skills and ability to line up against the bigger receivers. Schools may not have to wait too much longer to find out Bryant's decision. He is closing in on a decision, with Georgia Tech, Kansas, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Virginia Tech among those on his list.
Capers is an elite wide receiver who has competed at numerous events in 2019, and at each one, stood out. He has great size, he is a strong route-runner, his ball skills are a strength and his speed is a weapon. Capers can win jump-balls, he can stretch the field vertically and he has shown the ability to make the catch in traffic. He is committed to Arkansas, but schools such as South Carolina and Tennessee are still in the mix.
