May 10, 2023
Josh Reynolds
Colorado State Director

As the 2023 regular season ends and the playoffs draw near, it's time to assess the player rankings for the Class of 2024. These rankings take into account several factors, such as skills, physical abilities, potential, projection, and performance on the field. It's worth noting that players will develop and mature at different times, and as the year progresses, new prospects will emerge, and the rankings will be updated accordingly. We are excited to see where these talented players will end up and will continue to scout for players who could make their way into the Top 100. Each player's path is distinct, and it's crucial to concentrate on the journey toward achieving their maximum potential.
