Rappleyea is 6’4″ and 215 lbs. As a junior in 2021, he caught 21 passes for 475 yards and 4 touchdowns. He claims a 4.62 forty and a 39″ vertical.
Jeffery Johnson – DT – Tulane: Johnson is a 6’3″, 312 lb. grad transfer from Tulane. He’s originally from Brookhaven (MS) Brookhaven and was a 3-star, the #39 defensive tackle, and #547 overall when he came out of high school in 2018. He made 44 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks for the Green Wave in 2021. UPDATE: Johnson is no longer visiting since he committed to Oklahoma.
2022
Xavier Chaplin – OT – Seabrook (SC) Whale Branch: Chaplin is a 6’6″, 350-pounder who has been committed to Virginia Tech since last July. He also has offers from Georgia State, Louisville, and Michigan. He’s a 3-star, the #118 offensive tackle, and #1221 overall.

2023
Cole Cabana – RB – Dexter (MI) Dexter: Cabana is a 6’0″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Louisville, Michigan State, and West Virginia, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #21 running back, and #362 overall. Michigan has yet to offer. I would expect Michigan to take at least two running backs in 2023, especially if they don’t land another in 2022, so Cabana might be a decent option for a second back.
