4. Emanuel Dabney, 3-star CB

The former Mississippi State commit, Dabney is an underrated athlete from Jackson, MS by way of Callaway HS.

Dabney is a tall DB but needs to add some muscle to his 170 LB frame if he wants to make it at the next level.

Dabney reminds me a lot of Chevin Calloway, but a bit smaller in the weight department. His tape shows Dabney making plays as he stays with receivers who are making moves on their route. If he can continue to make strides in the weight room, Dabney could be a great addition to McGriff’s defense.

Ole Miss has to start recruiting some aggressive kids who want to make a name for themselves. Dabney fits that description perfectly.

Dabney was named to the MS-AL All-Star game earlier this year.

Ole Miss could do itself a lot of favors by going after this in-state kid.

247Sports has Dabney ranked as the 65th best cornerback in the nation.
