Most underrated (offense): Jadarian Price

It’s tough to call a four-star running back from Texas “underrated” but he honestly should be ranked even higher. He’s listed as just the No. 17 running back in the country and it’s hard to believe that there are 16 better rushers in the class. There’s just no way.

Price could see the field early and with his running style, he’s going to complement Logan Diggs and Chris Tyree in the backfield.

The top-200 recruit has great vision and solid speed and he’s going to have a strong college career and could even be a Heisman contender by his junior year.

Most underrated (defense): Benjamin Morrison

When you look at the list of offers for four-star cornerback Benjamin Morrison, you’d think he was one of the top prospects in the entire country. And often, the offer sheet means more than the recruiting ranking and that’s the exact case here.

Morrison is ranked just No. 332 overall recruit and 35th-best cornerback in the class, according to the composite. But he has elite potential and some of the best offers in the country.
