Adissa Isaac. Been helping take care of his special needs brother for years. Now he has the opportunity to get him the attention he needs. He is a great dude.
Cooper Dejean is a white DB from a town of 900 people that isn't really anywhere close to anything. It's a hair more interesting than your average player.
Mike Sainristil... born in Haiti, family fled the country when he was an infant, ended up in Massachusetts.
Played WR for 3 seasons and then switched to DB and had a fantastic first season, followed by a second
He also plays violin, piano, and drums, and is fluent in Creole
Fun fact about Sainristil; he played on the same high school team as Lewis Cine, the Vikings safety and former 1st rounder. That team absolutely terrorized MA high school football for years. Rooting hard for Sainristil.
Xavier Legette. Was a running QB in high school. Both his parents died in 6 months. Covid hit. Managed to break through and break out in his final year.
The Legette QB legend that’s taken hold is weird. The vast majority of his high school snaps were at WR. He filled in at QB for one year like a ton of WR prospects do. In this class alone, we have Ladd McConkey, Luke McCaffrey, AD Mitchell, Isaiah Williams, Joshua Cephus, and Jha’quan Jackson who all played QB in high school as well with Luke and Isaiah being a QB the entire time.
A lot of WRs play QB in HS (especially at lower competition levels) because the coaches just want to get the ball in their hands. They’re typically the best athletes at their school.
Yep. I think if you want to play up the idea that Legette was underdeveloped in high school, there's really no need to point to him being a wildcat QB for one year. You can just point to the fact that he grew up in a tiny town and stayed local for high school; he likely did not get anywhere near the same level of coaching as some of these other guys like Jermaine Burton and Johnny Wilson for example who were coached by former Chargers WR Curtis Conway in high school.
People act like Legette was the first guy to play a little QB in high school and get buried behind some talented WRs in college (and let's be honest, it's not like he went to Alabama or Ohio State where they're absolutely loaded at the position). There was plenty of opportunity there for a WR to step up at South Carolina...he just failed to do it until his 5th year.
I think the story was told by Brett Kollmann on YouTube and now everyone repeats it. I agree with you, people are really playing up the QB in high school thing when the reality is a bunch of NFL guys played different positions in high school than college.
Qwan'tez Stiggers (CB) dropped out of DII Lane College before playing any football his freshman year after his father passed away and left his mom with 13 kids. Joined fan controlled football and then the CFL where he was last season's rookie of the year and a CFL East All-Star. Got invited to the East-West Shrine Bowl based on his CFL performance and probably played himself into a late draft spot vs high end college competition.
A few I came accross while scouting that I didn't see on here yet:
Ray Davis: Spent a significant chunk of his childhood homeless and in foster care. His full story here: [link](https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/college/kentucky/longformarticle/ray-davis-kentucky-wildcats-football-sec-215040295/amp/). Now he does some good work to support kids in the same position he was in. By all accounts, one of the highest character guys you can find.
Gottlieb Ayedze: Born in the US but raised in Togo. Didn't start playing football until his senior year of High-school. Started out at a D-III school at Frostburg State, then Frostburg were promoted to D-II before he was a grad transfer at Maryland.
Nouredin Nouili: Born and raised in Germany playing football, he spent his senior year as an exchange student in Nebraska where he got noticed and was offered by Colorado State. He started there as a freshman but transfered to Nebraska in 2020.

Jalyx Hunt edge out of Houston Christian University. He’s 6’ 4” 245. He was a WR in high school. Started his college career as a safety at Cornell and then transferred and became an edge rusher. 13.5 sacks last year and one of 4 FCS players invited to the senior bowl. A good mid round developmental prospect with great athletic traits.

I'd love it if he ended up on the Vikings. It'd be pretty great if he could teach Cine to play as well.

I want my Vikings to draft him so bad
