One of the leading defensive ends in the class of 2021, Elijah Jeudy, has a list of offers peppered with some of the top programs in the country. While he still has a while before he signs with a specific school, he has narrowed his list.
On Thursday evening, the 4-star defensive end from Philadelphia released a top 6, and 4 SEC teams found themselves on it. Alabama, Florida, LSU and Texas A&M are in the running to gain Jeudy’s services, while a pair of Big Ten programs in Michigan and Penn State round out the list.
