With the 2015 recruiting class in the books it's time to look ahead to 2016.

Who are some defensive recruits Memphis are after in this class?

3* Defensive Tackle Rakavian Poydras
from Clarksville (TN). Poydras, 6-foot-2 267 lbs., was first offered
by Memphis. He's ranked #20 in the Rivals.com preseason Top 25 recruits
in the state of Tennessee. He visited Memphis last month.

3* Defensive Tackle Michael Perry
from Memphis (TN). Perry, 6-foot-327 lbs., is ranked 21st in the state
in the RFivals.com preseason state rankings. The Whitehaven prospect
has a bunch of early offers from Memphis, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and
Indiana among others. He has a good relationship with the Memphis staff
but he has $EC eyes. Memphis will be in a fight for him.

3* Athlete Erroll Thompson
from Florence (AL). Thompson, 6-foot-2 240 lbs., will be and is heavily
recruited. Already holds offers from Memphis, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Mizzou. Memphis has done well recently in Alabama and Thompson is one
that Memphis would love to get.

3* Cornerback Monquavion Brinson
from Atlanta (GA). Brinson, 5-foot-10 158 lbs., is one of the best pure
corners in the Atlanta area. He currently has offers from
Memphis, Kentucky and Colorado State.

3* Linebacker Timothy Hart
from Memphis (TN). Hart, 6-foot-1 205 lbs., is ranked 11th best
prospect in the top 25 Rivals.com state rankings for Tennessee. He's
highly sought after with offers from Memphis, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Miss
State and Indiana. It could be difficult to beat out the $EC schools
but I wouldn't rule out Memphis just yet.

3* Defensive End Jeffery Simmons
from Macon (MS). Simmons, 6-foot-3 240 lbs., is ranked 11th in the
state of Mississippi in the Rivals.com preseason Mississippi state
rankings. He has plenty of offers and interest. Memphis, Ole Miss, Miss
State, Arkansas State, and Southern Miss are his early offers.
