No. 3: CeCe Jefferson and Byron Cowart
The transition from high school football to the collegiate level just seems to be easier for defensive ends. There may not be two names that could make more of an impact in 2015 in the trenches than Auburn’s Byron Cowart and Florida’s CeCe Jefferson.
The two finished their high school careers ranked as the first (Cowart) and second (Jefferson) ranked defensive ends in the 2015 recruiting class according to ESPN.com. CeCe Jefferson finished his high school career with 100 plus solo tackles and 27.5 sacks.
As for Byron his 6 foot 4, 260 pound frame speaks for itself. The number one overall recruit in the nation will take his talents to Auburn where he will get to play under one of the best defensive minds in the country, Will Muschamp.
