Little II arrived as one of the top cornerbacks in the 2022 class from South Florida. He came as a four-star from American Heritage High School under the best teaching for a defensive back. Patrick Surtain Sr., a former NFL star, was Little’s head coach along with his father. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder has the instincts and tools to become a successful defensive back.
