FINALISTS

Notre Dame - Rhett visited Notre Dame this summer for camp and he blew the staff away with his workout and testing numbers. He has the length and ball skills Notre Dame desires and corners coach Mike Mickens has been all over him ever since. Rhett has been a must-get for the staff ever since he visited for camp and the staff got him back on campus in October for its matchup against USC.

Alabama - Rhett visited Alabama less than two weeks after his trip to South Bend, and the message coming out was similar to the one he made to Notre Dame. He worked out for the coaches and he impressed the staff as much as they impressed him. Alabama has yet to land a player in the 2023 class and it would certainly like to start things off with a player of Rhett's caliber

Georgia - Rhett visited Georgia just two days prior to his visit to Alabama. He didn't work out for the Bulldogs but came away from that visit impressed. The Bulldogs have talked to Rhett about playing both corner and nickel according to Blair Angulo of 247Sports. Georgia already has two corners committed in the class and they don't appear to be as strong of a contender.

Oklahoma - Oklahoma's position with Rhett remains up in the air. The coach that recruited him - DeMarco Murray - is still on staff but there has been a huge shakeup in Norman. Rhett also has yet to visit Oklahoma, so the Sooners appear to be a long shot at this time.

Tennessee - Rhett's interest in Tennessee began due to his relationship with Marcus Nash, a former Volunteer standout receiver and first round draft pick of the Denver Broncos.
