On May 1, we introduced a new feature: the TSL Top Prospects List. GMSAHokie and Chris Coleman each revealed their top 10 prospects within the Virginia Tech football program. With the summer and the preseason behind us, it's time to update those rankings.
Our top prospects lists are basically like the baseball lists of top prospects in the minor leagues. Obviously there are no minor leagues in college football, so we had to use other criteria to define a “prospect”. Our lists will include true freshmen and r-freshmen. It can also include true sophomores, but only if that player was on the field for less than 100 offensive or defensive snaps as a true freshman. (Special teams snaps are not considered.)
