Excerpt from ESPN +

"In the 17 years ESPN has ranked college football recruits, our update for the Class of 2023 may be the most scrutinized iteration."

"There were many opportunities over the spring and summer to evaluate the 2023 recruiting class from college and select camps in May and June. Most recently, we spent two days in July scouting some of the most talented prospects at Under Armour's Future 50 event."

"This release features 18 new ESPN 300 entries and three players who ascended to five-star status. But perhaps the most notable change is the reshuffling of the quarterback position: Arch Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli who recently committed to Texas, is no longer the No. 1 overall prospect."
"Quarterback Malachi Nelson supplanted Arch Manning for the No. 1 ranking in the 2023 ESPN 300 based off his increased arm velocity and leadership skills against top-tier talent."

Congrats to Malachi!
