That is absolutely insane. Also, since those are ESPN rankings, I went to look at Rivals and they've signed the following in the last few years:
2018
- 6.1 5* DE Xavier Thomas, the #1 DE in the nation
- 6.1 5* DE K.J. Henry, the #3 DE in the nation
- 5.8 4* DE Justin Mascoll, the #12 DE in the nation
- 5.8 4* DT Josh Belk, the #21 DT in the nation
- 5.6 3* DT Darnell Jeffries, the #53 DT in the nation (someone has to wipe down the benches?)
2017
- 5.9 4* DE Jordan Williams, the #4 DE in the nation
- 5.8 4* DE Justin Foster, the #18 DE in the nation
2016
- 6.1 5* DT Dexter Lawrence, the #2 DT in the nation
- 5.9 4* DE Xavier Kelly, the #11 DE in the nation
- 5.8 4* DT Nyles Pinckney, the #16 DT in the nation
2015
- 6.1 5* DT Christian Wilkins, the #4 DT in the nation

We really are playing 2 different sports...
