WR Dorial Green-Beckham 6-6, 220, 4.4

size with speed, quickness, and power.

Has a keen sense for the football and uses it on every down. Remarkably active with a terrific burst, he’s able to rip off blocks with strong hands and tremendous natural strength. This season he, once again, was double and triple-teamed on every play and yet still dominated. In 2011 he totaled 98 tackles including 50 solo, 27 tackles for losses, 4 blocked kicks, and 9 QB sacks. His GPA is 3.5. Benches 350.

Committed to OHIO STATE.

SpringfieldHillcrest, MO

The nation’s #1 player did not disappoint during the 2011 season, and that’s why I call him the best WR prospect I’ve seen since Randy Moss. The prototypical WR at 6-6, 220, he’s a hybrid and is more suited to be spread out to create mismatches.

He gets a great initial burst off the line and is a long strider who can get to top speed in a hurry. Last season he caught 78 passes for 1,743 yds and 16 TDs averaging 22.3 yds per catch. He more than lived up to his billing this season catching 119 passes for 2,233 yds and 25 TDs and set the national record for most career yards with 6,356.

He took state in the 100 meters with a time of 10.59, he also took state in the triple jump with a leap of 47' 2", and came in 2nd in-state in the long jump with a leap of 24' 3". He also averages 22 points and 12 rebounds a game as a PFW in basketball. Like Randy Moss, he was named All-State in three sports. Dorial is our national offensive player of the year and he broke the state record for receptions and yardage this season. He also set the state record for a single game receiving yards (354 yds) and career touchdowns (72). His GPA is a solid 3.0 and he scored an 18 on the ACT. Looking at AR, MO, FL, OK, TX and USC among others.

Denton-Ryan, TX

On film #17 proves to be unstoppable as a pass rusher. He shows a great combination of quickness, strength, and size. He possesses superior speed off the ball and is relentless in pursuit. Shows quick hands, dominates the point of attack, and runs very well laterally, he’s as explosive as they come. Totaled 127 tackles, 16 QB sacks, and 38 tackles for losses on his way to earning the state’s Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2010. This season, once again, he earned the state’s Player of the Year honors after totaling 67 tackles, 32 tackles for losses, 11 QB sacks, 7 forced fumbles, and 1 safety. He’s been timed in an 11.5 100 meters in track.

Committed to FLORIDA STATE.

Columbus East, IN

5.

The #1 prospect in the state of Indiana and the nation’s #1 QB prospect. He reminds me an awful lot of Blaine Gabbert. Last season he threw for 2,742 yds and 36 TDs and he also ran for 621 yds and 7 scores.

This season Gunner earned 1 st Team All-State honors after completing 127 of 240 passes for 2,517 yds and 28 TDs. He was picked off just 4 times throwing out of a spread-pistol offense. He also earned state Player of the Year honors.

His accuracy is uncanny and his ability to accurately throw deep is a major plus.

He also shows the ability to lead receivers with his passes. He can be elusive in the pocket and although he weighs close to 220 pounds, he can cause defenses nightmares once he decides to tuck and run. Committed to LSU. 3.

DL

RB-SS Shaq Thompson

6-2, 215, 4.47

Sacramento Grant, CA

He started out at #28, then moved up to #10, and now he has moved up to #5.

I’ve watched him on senior film and without a doubt, he’s the best big back in the country. He’s also the nation’s top SS prospect. A supremely skilled athlete, he’s been timed in a 10.8 100 meters. He rushed for 2,000 yds and 25 TDs averaging 10 yds per carry in 2010. Also caught 17 passes for 350 yds and 4 scores, and totaled 54 tackles and 1 pick at SS. This season earned 1st Team All-State honors at QB and DB throwing for 893 yds and 8 TDs and rushing for 1,134 yds and 15 TDs. He also totaled 57 tackles in just eight games. Quick to diagnose, he can jump routes and has been blessed with exceptional ball skills. He hits like a Mack truck and can turn and run with the best of them. On offense he’s been blessed with enormous strength, great balance, vision, and superior speed. He runs with his pads low, shows nifty moves, and the burst to get outside. Committed to CALIFORNIA.

Harrisburg-Bishop McDevitt, PA

The #1 prospect in Pennsylvania has dominated since his freshman year.

This fall he totaled 82 tackles and 14 sacks and was voted the top defensive player in the state of Pennsylvania. Over the past two years he has totaled 208 tackles and 34½ sacks including 60 tackles for losses. His strength is getting to the QB consistently and in a hurry. He blends great

Monrovia, CA

9.

A one-man wrecking crew, he reminds me a little bit of Ndamukong Suh. He combines great size with explosive moves, terrific strength, quick hands, and an aggressive and tenacious style of play.

He has played more DE this season but does have a lot of experience at the DT position. I was sold on him after watching the CIF semi-final game last December, a game in which Ellis dominated despite the fact that he was double and triple-teamed on every play. He recorded 72 tackle and 14 QB sacks in 2010. This fall he totaled 71 tackles, 7 QB sacks, and 3 fumble recoveries despite missing four games with a knee injury. He played DT and DE. Committed to CALIFORNIA. 7.

Tempe-Corona Del Sol, AZ

#75 amazes you with his quickness off the ball and his ability to get into the open field and block down on linebackers. As nimble-footed as they come, he has the potential and ability to become a college All-American and a future all-pro. He looks thin at 280 and shows the quickness, balance, change of direction, and mentality at LT that the college scouts look for in an All-American. This season he, once again, graded out at over 90% in his blocking assignments, led the league in pancake blocks, and also totaled 7 QB sacks at DE. For the second year in a row he earned 1st Team All-State honors. Averages 15 points and 10 rebounds a game as a PFW in basketball. His GPA 3.6. Looking at STANFORD, NE, USC, and FSU.

All-America Team

Jonathan Gray

A super tailback prospect who is a fivestar ball player. He shows tremendous speed, vision, agility, balance, and surprising strength. He carried the ball 358 times for over 2,000 yds and 60 TDs in 2010 on his way to earning 1st Team AllState honors.

The country’s #1 ranked LT prospect reminds me an awful lot of Joe Thomas.

On film #71 proves to be an exceptional pass and run blocker. One of the more athletic 300 pounders you will find, he shows great footwork and an aggressive, tenacious style of play. A two-time 1st Team All-Coast and All-State selection, he certainly has what it takes to make an impact as a true freshman. He paved the way for two RB’s to rush for 1,000 yds this season. In 2011 he led his team to a 4A state title grading out at over 90% in his blocking assignments. His GPA is 3.0 and he scored an 1,100 on the SAT. Committed to GEORGIA. 8.

Arik Armstead

6-7, 275, 5.0

Pleasant Grove, CA

One of the nation’s premier LT and DE prospects. An explosive 285 pounder, he’s very strong and dominant at the point of attack, can bend off the edge, and shows explosive moves towards the QB on defense. This year on offense he dominated from the LT position showing good awareness and the ability to change direction quickly. He has proven to be one of the best hand fighters in the west. Has the frame to weigh 320 in college and should be a good DE and a potential great LT. This season earned 1st Team All-Metro honors at OT. He committed early to USC but has since decided to take other visits with AL, NOTRE DAME, TX, AUBURN, OR, and CAL.

Nelson is considered the state of Florida’s top prospect at three different positions, WR, CB, and KR. On defense, once again this season, he showed terrific instincts, quick reactions, read quarterbacks well, and displayed the leaping ability and smooth backpedal that allowed him to dominate receivers. On the other side of the ball he is a sure handed receiver with all the way kind of speed, and it’s the same balance, instincts, and agility that he uses on the defensive side of the ball.

Washington D.C.Friendship

The nation’s premier DT prospect is, right now, a better run stuffer than pass rusher but does well at both. During the 2011 season he was constantly double and triple-teamed and that did not seem to bother this 295 pounder with enormous strength. He’s good at shooting gaps and penetrating into the opposition’s backfield, and he continuously disrupts the flow of the offense. Totaled 40 tackles and 5½ sacks on his way to earning H-M All-MET honors in 2010. This season earned 1st Team All-Metro honors. Visits AL, FSU, MIAMI, AUBURN, CAL, CLEMSON, and MD.

The state’s most exciting ball player plays QB in high school and could wind up playing QB, RB, WR, or DB in college. I believe he’s perfectly suited for the spread offense, he’s sort of a Pat White type of a QB with explosive moves and great intelligence. He threw for 1,900 yds and 20 TDs, and ran for 2,306 yds and 32 scores on his way to earning 1st Team All-State honors in 2010. He’s been timed in a 10.7 100 meters and his father, Bart Fuller, played FS at TCU. He dominated on both sides of the ball in 2011 earning 1st Team All-State honors at QB. He completed 127 of 195 passes for 2,247 yds and carried the ball 120 times for 1,326 yds and 17 TDs. At DB he totaled 40 tackles and 2 picks. Visits AZ, TCU, RUTGERS, AL, and NE.

He has moved down a few slots from our pre-season ratings but only because Tee has not played this year. Because of a transfer to Fresno Washington Union Tee had to sit out the 2011 season. Still, he is the top CB prospect on the West Coast bringing size, burst, instincts, leaping ability, and timing to the recruiting table. He had picked off 10 passes and broke up 30 passes in his prep career, and earned All-City honors in both 2009 and 2010.

There are a lot of good CB prospects in the state of California this year and one of the very best is Mr. Seymour. He came out of the gates quickly this season showing confidence, burst, and most of all production.
