Calling it now…LB is going to be starting next to Diabate and will be one scary good tandem! Line Backer U has never looked so good & deep! Go Utes!

Player ranking, not rating. Barton got bumped up to the #40 ranked player in the country, which is just outside the 5* players who are the Top 32. CP3 is still the highest rated and was the highest ranked at #51 before Barton got bumped up nearly 100 spots to #40.
Sheesh! 247 has him rated at 97 overall and the number 40 overall player IN THE NATION. 97 is the highest grade they assign before official 5-star status. Composite he’s rated 95th overall.
