10 NCAA prospects Eagles can pair with Cre’Von LeBlanc at cornerback
A.J. Terrell is a six-foot-two, 190-pound corner who’s one of the best cover guys on one of the nation’s top two teams. He’s a potential second-day prospect that’s racked up 96 tackles, six interceptions, 12 passes defended, and two forced fumbles throughout 37 career games in the other ‘Death Valley’ with the Clemson Tigers.
He earned a First-team All-ACC honor in 2019.
Jaylon Johnson is a six-foot corner that weighs 190 pounds and is projected to run the 40 at around 4.5 seconds. He’s a second-rounder and the best cover guy for the Utah Utes. He racked up 33 tackles and snagged two interceptions in the pass-happy Pac-12 Conference in 2019, but there’s some concern that he may get shoved around from time to time by the more physical receivers who play at the professional level.
For his career, he has a resume boasting 102 total tackles, seven interceptions, a sack, 21 passes defended, and two defensive touchdowns.
