4.) Jeffrey Okudah, CB (6-1, 190)

Out of all of the safeties and corners in the 2017 recruiting class, Okudah could be the best defensive back in the country. His athleticism, leadership qualities and great frame make him as special as he is, and he can also lay big hits on ball carriers as well.

The Texas product has the ability to be a lock down corner at the next level. The fact that he was originally recruited as a safety just goes to show that he’s good at providing run support as well.

With these qualities and his 4.4 speed in the 40, look for Okudah to see significant playing time this year. Especially since Gareon Conley, Marshon Lattimore and Malik Hooker declared for the NFL draft early.
