Keep in mind that Smith and Parkinson weren’t just 5* tight ends but the top tight end recruit in the nation in their recruiting class, and Henry was the top tight end in this year’s class.  Smith is likely to be the top tight end taken in the draft this year.

That’s not to say that Archer’s commitment is an afterthought as I’m more interested to see what a guy does once he’s here than what their high school recruiting rating was.

Archer is a really good flip so late in the process (we offered in mid-October) and important after last year's "gap" year for scholarship TEs.
