When you compile 50 sacks in two seasons, it's difficult to fly "under the radar." It's even more difficult when you have NFL bloodlines.
Recruiting can often be as much about measurables -- or lack thereof -- as production, and that's how you end up with someone like 2017 South Carolina signee Damani Staley.
A two-time area defensive player of the year and son of former NFL running back Duce Staley, Damani Staley was a three-star recruit. Ranked as the No. 79 outside linebacker in the 2017 recruiting class and the 19th-best player in the state of South Carolina, and with other offers from East Carolina and Georgia Tech, Staley definitely fits the description of "unheralded" in recruiting circles.
