We wrap-up our tour around the country by looking at the top defensive backs in high school football in the Class of 2021.
5-star corner back Tony Grimes of Prince Anne High School in Virginia is the No. 1 DB in the nation. Grimes has given his verbal commitment to North Carolina.

Three of the Top 5 DB’s are still uncommitted.
Pinson Valley’s (Alabama) Ga’Quincy McKinstry is a 5-star cornerback. His top five schools are all from the SEC — Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia and LSU.
