Rivals national recruiting analyst John Garcia Jr. is joined by national rankings director Adam Friedman and national recruiting analysts Marshall Levenson and Sam Spiegelman to tackle three topics and determine whether they believe each statement is FACT or FICTION.
1. Blue-chip Miami commitment Hylton Stubbs is on the verge of earning his fifth star.
Friedman: FACT. Hylton Stubbs isn’t a no-brainer five-star but he’s proven time and time again that he is one of the best defensive backs in this class and he has a set of skills that translates to the next level. His top end speed is a bit worrisome for a prospect we’d essentially be predicting will be a first round draft pick but his coverage skills in the secondary, wingspan, leaping abilities, and physical style all give me confidence in him becoming a standout at the next level.
Garcia: FACT. There are few prospects who have seemingly upped their stock at just about every opportunity over the last year or so the way Stubbs has. He had a monster junior season at Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin, profiling as a balanced leader on the back-end, flashing with his range and ball skills in coverage while plenty willing to work down the alley or into the box to make noise closer to the line of scrimmage.
What has been revealed since the 2023 campaign is just how comfortable Stubbs is in space, where his man coverage skills have been at or near the top compared to any non cornerback projections in the cycle. It continued back at the Rivals Five-Star, where the Miami commitment won the vertical leap challenge, had a strong run in one-on-ones and also helped lead his team to the 7-on-7 tournament crown.
