Xavier McKinney
The Situation: Rivals has been ahead of the curve on McKinney’s ranking dating back to his entrance in the Rivals100 last year. But after a dominant senior season that saw him look like one of the best players in the state of Georgia, McKinney is now knocking on the door of a five-star ranking. This week will be his shot to prove it among some of the nation’s best. McKinney is announcing between Clemson and Alabama at Sunday’s game.
Farrell’s Take: Safeties are becoming more and more important on defenses around the country, and they're making a quicker impact as well. McKinney is thick, fast and is not only excellent in coverage but also likes to thump in run support. He’s right in range for five stars if he has a great week and a big game.
