Robert Nkemdiche is a monster. The nation's top-ranked recruit possesses talent rarely seen from a defensive end as an incoming freshman. Between his physical gifts and proven ability, he is as close to a can't-miss prospect as you can get.

He's the top player on the board for the class of 2013, according to 247 Sports. Almost every recruiting service agrees, illustrating exactly how highly regarded the 6'4'', 285-pound pass-rusher is around the country.

What makes Nkemdiche special is his extraordinary combination of size, strength and athleticism. A lot of recruits, especially those who are still early in their development as players, usually feature one of those traits.
