College football recruiting has changed with the rise of the transfer portal in recent years. Some Power 4 programs don’t invest as much energy into finding hidden gems as they once did.But those under-the-radar guys are still out there. And they can make a big impact on very good teams.I dug through a 10-year window (2015 class through 2024 class) and picked the best recruiting “find” for each school.There was one parameter: Players had to be ranked outside the top 500 in the 247Sports Composite.The goal was to find the right mix of an under-recruited player who produced at the college level and, in most cases, developed into an NFL Draft pick.You get the idea…Alabama: Irv Smith Jr., TE, 3-star, No. 520 (2016 recruiting cycle) — Alabama has had 71 homegrown NFL Draft picks since 2018. Only eight weren’t four- or five-star recruits out of high school. Smith, one of the eight, earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2018 and was a second-round pick by the Vikings in 2019.Arizona: Noah Fifita, QB, 3-star, No. 690 (2022) — Fifita, a first-team All-Big 12 pick last year, has thrown for 9,055 yards and 72 touchdowns over the last three seasons. The Southern California native chose Arizona over Cal, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawaii, Idaho State, New Mexico and Utah State.
