The 2022 recruiting class took 17 high schoolers and 14 transfers that were on scholarship:

  • Sam McCall: 4-star DB (non-contributor transfer)
  • Azareye’h Thomas: 4-star DB (contributor, Starter in 2024)
  • Julian Armella: 4-star OL (expected contributor)
  • AJ Duffy: 4-star QB (non-contributor transfer)
  • Qae’Shon Sapp 4-star OL (non-contributor transfer)
  • Jaylen Early: 4-star OL (expected contributor)
  • Daniel Lyons: 4-star DE (expected contributor)
  • Aaron Hester.: 3-star DE (possible contributor)
  • Bishop Thomas: 3-star WR (non-contributor transfer)
  • Rodney Hill: 3-star OL (non-contributor transfer)
  • Antavious Woody: 3-star DB (non-contributor transfer)
  • Daughtry Richardson: 3-star TE (non-contributor transfer)
  • Omar Graham Jr: 3-star LB (expected contributor)
  • Ayobami Tifase: 3-star DT (non-contributor transfer)
  • Brian Courtney: 3-star DB (possible contributor)
  • Kanaya Charlton: 3-star TE (transfer)
  • Jerrele Powers: 3-star TE (non-contributor/injuries)

Seven of these 17 have become contributors or have the potential to contribute in 2024. There are 10 who have transferred or will not likely contribute in 2024.

Transfers

  • Caziah Holmes: 4-star RB (expected contributor)
  • Malik Feaster: 3-star DB (non-contributor transfer)
  • Jazston Turnetine: 3-star OL (contributor/starter)
  • D’Mitri Emmanuel: 3-star OL (All-ACC player)
  • Trey Benson 4-star RB (All-ACC player)
  • Winston Wright: 3-star WR (injury/transfer)
  • Jared Verse: 4-star DE (All-ACC player)
  • Tatum Bethune: 3-star LB (All-ACC player)
  • Deuce Spann: 3-star WR (possible contributor)
  • Greedy Vance: 3-star DB (starter)
  • Johnny Wilson: 3-star WR (All-ACC player)
  • Mycah Pittman: 3-star WR (All-ACC player, transfer)
  • Kayden Lyles: 3-star OL (medical DQ)
  • Bless Harris: 3-star OL (starter/contributor)

There are 10 of these 14 who contributed or have potential to contribute on 2024. The only guy that I'd count as a non-contributor at all is Feaster. Lyles was a medical DQ and Winston Wright's car wreck derailed everything for him. That makes 17 of 31 players (55 percent) and (six All-ACC players) who have contributed or have the potential to contribute in 2024.
