Gorney’s Take: When you look at Amare Adams in person at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, the Clemson signee looks like an unstoppable force up the middle with little bad weight and a projection to be one of the next best interior guys for the Tigers. He certainly has that potential as Clemson has developed many of these players over the years and pumped them into the NFL. Ten former Clemson defensive linemen are currently on NFL rosters and Adams could be next.
He was not dominant at all times during the Navy All-American Bowl week, but when Adams was good, he was great and could not be stopped by interior offensive linemen during practice. Adams has the power, speed, strength and no doubt size to be one of the best defensive tackles in college football for years to come.
Gorney’s Take: Na’eem Offord nearly slid out of five-star status and it’s mainly because we’re not absolutely certain where he’s going to play at the next level and how that’s going to translate to the NFL. Still, the Oregon signee and former Ohio State commit is too talented, and perhaps too versatile, to keep off the five-star list.
Offord might grow out of playing strictly cornerback and could be a nickel. Or maybe he moves to safety and similar to DJ Pickett and others, he’s a good-enough athlete to even move to offense and possibly play some receiver.
He had some good and some bad moments during the Under Armour All-America Game week but overall, he’s still a really special prospect in this class.
