Note: This is the second ESPN Junior 300 release for the Class of 2016. The initial evaluation of 1,000 prospects was based off of freshman and sophomore film while this latest update was influenced by junior season production.
The latest update of the ESPN Junior 300 sees 34 new players added to the rankings. Here's the breakdown of the moves and additions.
Skill Players
No. 19 (new entry) ATH Saivion Smith
This is a talented playmaker who is drawing more and more attention on the recruiting trail. He is a legitimate two-way threat, but in our opinion, Smith will likely end up at corner. You just don't find length like he has and the ability to run like he does. Smith has played as a Wildcat QB, which has likely hindered his development a bit, but also gives him a very high ceiling. He has a chance to develop into a premier player.
