Re: Your Team's #1 recruit
It's hard to say for A&T, IMHO.
Our impact players next season will be on the defensive side of the ball.
This kid will is the likely replacement for our Defensive MVP Jeremy Taylor:
Zareik Rush, OLB, 6-2, 205, Greensboro, NC (Dudley HS)
We were able to get this kid from Howard and some FBS/P-5 looks. He was a 2-way player (RB/OLB) for Dudley High School (Greensboro, NC) and I expect him to play our coveted rover position and look like a Cam Chancellor/Keanu Neal clone. He has the physical tools to start as a true freshman, but we'll see in 6 months.
As far as our transfers, this kid from N. Illinois should help us have the best FCS D Line arguably in 2018:
Justin Nwachukwu, DL, 6-1, 290, Wake Forest, NC (Northern Illinois Transfer/Heritage HS)
Justin has the chance to start as our 3-tech DL next to Julian McKnight. We already are one of the best at stopping the run, but if Justin can live up to his potential, ECU and/or Jacksonville State will have a really hard time running the ball on us.

I will tell you in 4 or 5 years who it was. :)

Re: Your Team's #1 recruit
I might be cheating since he’s a transfer, but I’m going RB Billy Ray McCrary III who transfers to ACU from Cal. He’s 5’10 190 and has got 4.3 speed and will be a fantastic change of pace back to Tracy James who is 5’11 220.
Re: Your Team's #1 recruit
The one that studies hard, and embraces the system and coaches methods, keeps his nose clean, embraces the cadet life, and is a team player. Could be any one of them. It could be the fastest, or strongest, or biggest player, but may not be.

Re: Your Team's #1 recruit
Josh Walker 6'1" 305# DT out of IMG Academy. Per 247sports, 3rd highest rated signee in FCS this year. Not sure how we got him, but He is the real deal.
Re: Your Team's #1 recruit
On paper? Might be Mateo Jackson, a 6'2"/220 LB out of Richmond, VA.
The '18 signee that might HAVE to perform early is Que Reid, a safety out of North Carolina. Lot to replace with the 2 AAs graduating.
ElCid and McNeese72 both have an outstanding perspective on this question.
Re: Your Team's #1 recruit
By my count, Dartmouth had a school-record commits with FBS offers (and not all from the military academies) this season.
The only guy with a BCS offer was offensive lineman Calvin Atkeson. So he's my nominee.
