Five-star prospect Lebbeus Overton, top-ranked football recruit, reclassifying to 2022 class

Five-star defensive lineman Lebbeus Overton, the No. 1 ranked prospect in the 2023 class, is reclassifying to the 2022 class to enroll in college this spring.

Overton is a 6-foot-3, 265-pound prospect out of Milton High School in Milton, Georgia, and is the top-ranked recruit for the 2023 cycle. Despite signing day passing for the 2022 class, Overton and his family have decided he will reclassify and join a university earlier than originally expected.

"He's a 4.0 kid, he has been taking AP classes and so he's got quite a few college credits already and was already in position to graduate this spring," Overton's father Milton told ESPN.
