Rivals has released its latest rankings update the last two days. Here are several links y’all might be interested in.
* Michael Penix Jr. one of four quarterbacks highlighted as a newly-minted 4-star prospect.
* Class of 2018 biggest movers includes quarterback commit Adrian Martinez (up to No. 158 nationally).
Analyst’s take: “Martinez had impressive junior film, had a strong showing at the Under Armour Future 50 and has been great whenever we’ve seen him, so a bump was deserved especially after comparing him to other quarterbacks in this class. He’s committed to Tennessee.” – Adam Gorney, Rivals.com National Recruiting Analyst
* Wideout commit Alontae Taylor made a big jump into the Top 100, now slotted at No. 80 nationally.
Analyst’s take: “The Tennessee commitment has shifted his focus to wide receiver full-time this offseason and has blossomed into one of the nation's best. His route-running continues to get better and his hands are remarkably consistent. Combine that with his already impressive proclivity for making big plays with the ball in his hands and it's easy to see why he moved up the rankings again this cycle.” – Woody Wommack, Rivals.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst
