Tremendous: Class of 2013 Wish List – Defense

Alliance (OH) Marlington safety Dymonte Thomas is a premium recruit (image via Friday Night Ohio)

Tremendous  and I combined to put together a 2013 wish list for the offense earlier this week.  Now here’s the installment for the defense.

I’d like to make one small change, though.  When I e-mailed Tremendous  my picks earlier in the week, Placer (CA) Placer defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes did not hold a Michigan offer.  If I were filling out my ballot today, I would replace Dadeville (AL) Dadeville NT Rod Crayton with Vanderdoes.  Crayton is still a good player, but Vanderdoes looks like a beast who could play the 3-tech or even the 1-tech position in college.

ESPNU: Top 100 Prospects for 2013

Concord (CA) De La Salle linebacker Michael Hutchings is one of the early 5-stars to ESPNU (image via 247 Sports)
