His best-fitting offers first; pick any 4 of Max's 26 to compare. Green is the best in each row. Room counts the players at his spot with two or more years left. Players like him: up to five past recruits whose offer boards looked most like his and who signed at that school, from classes whose careers are over; a real season means 100+ passes, 50+ carries, 15+ catches, 25+ tackles, 3+ sacks or 2+ interceptions. Offensive linemen and defenders from classes before 2016 are not in that row: the box score does not count linemen's work and has no tackles before 2016. History, not a forecast for him. Green on the scheme row: it plays the front or the offense his role fits. How fit is made.

The 50 past recruits with the boards closest to his, from classes 2011 to 2022, whose careers are over. A real season: 100+ passes, 50+ carries, 15+ catches, 25+ tackles, 3+ sacks or 2+ interceptions. College seasons from CFBD rosters, on record for 36 of 50.
