     Pro Football Focus, a website that uses in-depth analysis of statistical data to scout football players (College and/or NFL) just released their updated rankings of the top ten true freshman in college football. It lead with the teaser "Where does Rashan Gary rank?" That is what initially made me click on the article, but was quite surprised when Ohio State's own Nick Bosa was ranked ahead of "The best player to ever commit to Michigan". 

4. Nick Bosa, Edge, Ohio State, 83.0

Two weeks ago Bosa was 10th on the list, but has jumped up six spots due to huge back-to-back games against Indiana and Wisconsin. In those two games he has more than doubled his pressures totals for the season (he now has 18 on the season after posting eight through Ohio State’s first four games), and has also added four stops.

6. Rashan Gary, Edge, Michigan 80.8

While his reps are certainly being limited both by Michigan’s depth on the defensive line and lopsided scores like Week 6’s 78-0 romp over Rutgers, Gary has still been able to post some impressive numbers. In just 90 pass-rush reps has accumulated 15 total hurries, meaning his is pressuring the QB one out of every six pass-rush snaps.

Ed Oliver, NT, Houston is the #1 ranked TrFr up until this point in the season.
