The skinny: Weaver totaled 116 receptions for 1,735 yards and eight touchdowns during his time with the Bulls. He was especially productive during the last two seasons when he combined for 94 receptions for 1,433 yards and all eight of his touchdowns. He also returned 13 punts during the last two seasons.

Recruiting: Weaver has taken official visits to Arkansas and most recently Colorado. While he also has offers from Oklahoma and West Virginia, at this time it is expected that it will come down to the Razorbacks and Buffaloes in the coming days.

Gary Bryant – USC

The skinny: Bryant totaled 53 receptions for 645 yards and seven touchdowns during his time with the Trojans. The majority of his success came during the 2021 season when he finished with 44 receptions for 579 yards and all seven of his touchdowns.

Recruiting: Bryant has taken official visits to Miami-Florida and most recently UCLA. He was also planning on visiting Texas A&M, but that did not happen. Other schools that are currently involved include Utah, Arizona, North Carolina, Nebraska, Oregon State and Colorado.

Lideatrick Griffin – Mississippi State

The skinny: A consistent receiving threat during his time with the Bulldogs, Griffin totaled 76 receptions for 832 yards and five touchdowns. He was also an All-American as a kick returner, with two touchdowns and an 32.5 yard return average.

Recruiting: Griffin has played this close to the vest from the start, but Nebraska, South Carolina, Arkansas, UCF and Utah are a few of the schools that are currently involved. He did take a visit to South Carolina over the weekend.

Kyle Ford – USC

The skinny: Ford totaled 39 receptions for 617 yards and four touchdowns during the last two seasons with the Trojans.

Recruiting: Everything has been relatively quiet with Ford since he entered, but a few of the schools that are actively involved include Iowa, Penn State, Utah and Georgia Tech. The Hawkeyes are the one to keep a closest eye on right now.

The skinny: Roberson finished his time at Eastern Washington with 141 receptions for 2,266 yards and 17 touchdowns. He was most productive during his final two seasons when he totaled 94 receptions for 1,576 yards and 13 touchdowns.
