Nation’s No. 4 player Patrick Surtain Jr. lists 3 SEC schools in top 6

A high school player can’t fit more power houses in a top six.

The nation’s No. 4 overall player, 5-star CB Patrick Surtain Jr., lists three SEC teams in his top six. Alabama, Florida and LSU made the cut from the SEC, and they join Clemson, FSU and Ohio State.

Surtain released his loaded top six Wednesday night via Twitter:

Top 6…… Thanks to all the schools that have recruited me in this tough grueling process…. Very Blessed 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/zmBV5SsiHf

Surtain, from Plantation, Fla. (American Heritage), is ranked as the country’s No. 1 CB and the state of Florida’s No. 2 overall player, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Surtain’s size immediately jumps out. Listed at 6-foot-2, 181 pounds, his long frame is ideal for guarding bigger wide receivers. Once you watch his film, it proves his ideal size combines with elite athleticism to make the total package.

It’s unknown when Surtain will make his final decision, but he’s expected to take all five visits before declaring. At this time, LSU figures to be a heavy favorite, with FSU at No. 2. Of course, with recruiting, favorites can change at anytime.

Here are Surtain’s junior highlights:
