2011 College Football Recruiting: The Top 100 Commitments

The summer closed out with a string of 5-star commitments to cap what was a very eventful few months.

The recruiting landscape has really taken form to this point and many of the top prospects in the country have pledged their allegiance.

To get all you recruiting fans up to speed, as well as those who've stumbled in here out of curiosity, here's a quick breakdown of the top 100 college football commitments from the 2011 recruiting class. 

100. Marquise Wright, DT (Pitt)

Commitment: Pitt

Marquise Wright fits into the debatable category as he's ranked as the No. 4 defensive tackle on Rivals and 62nd overall in the country, but drops all the way to No. 16 at his position on Scout, outside of the top 100 overall prospects. Truth is, he's somewhere in between and at 6'3" and 265 lbs, he probably needs a year to bulk up. 

99. Evan Spencer, WR (Ohio State)

Commitment: Ohio State

Evan Spencer is one of the fastest accelerators in the 2011 class. He reaches top speed so fast that it's hard to believe you aren't watching tape in fast-forward at times. He has the tools to develop into a serious playmaker as a receiver and a return man. Scout lists him at No. 19 at his position. 

98. Danny Woodson, WR (Alabama)

Commitment: Alabama

Depending on who you're asking, Alabama has a pretty serious duo of receivers lined up. Between Marvin Shinn, ranked No. 8 at WR by both Scout and Rivals, and Danny Woodson, ranked No. 7 at WR by Rivals, the Crimson Tide should be in line for a ton of success. Of course, Scout ranks Woodson at No. 24 and it's hard to disagree.

97. Bishop Sankey, RB (Washington State)

Commitment: Washington State

Both Scout and Rivals agree that Bishop Sankey is a top 20 running back from the 2011 recruiting class, but this 5'11" and 185-lb back is going to have to spend a good amount of time bulking up if he wants to make an impact on the next level. One of the top prospects for the state of Washington, Sankey has a very, very high ceiling. 

96. Tyson Coleman, S (Oregon)

Commitment: Oregon

The Oregon commit has the size and athleticism to play both safety and linebacker and it remains to be seen where he's going to end up at the next level. Scout ranks him as the No. 10 safety and Rivals ranks him as the No. 14 outside linebacker. At 6'2" and 200 lbs, it looks like safety is a better bet. 

95. Daniel Lasco, RB (Cal)

Commitment: Cal

Lasco is a top 20 running back on both Rivals and Scout. He might have a future at wide receiver considering he's 6'2" and 190 lbs, but that remains to be seen. He's got a compact rushing style and can play between the tackles, but when he gets on the outside or in open space that Lasco really shines.

94. Jeremy Hill, RB (LSU)

Commitment: LSU

LSU's second grab at running back, Jeremy Hill is the big back of the pair and the one you want lining up behind the quarterback on the goal-line. He's not that fast, but he's got quick feet and a solid first step to power the ball between the tackles and make defenders wish they were somewhere else. He's ranked as top 25 RB for 2011.  

93. Rob Hankins, LB (Arizona)

Commitment: Arizona

Rob Hankins is one of the most aggressive linebackers you'll ever see and has middle linebacker written all over him. He's ranked as a top 10 interior linebacker by both Scout and Rivals and is an instinctive player who just always seems to find the ball. When you play defense, that's a great trait to have. 

92. Brendon Austin, OT (Stanford)

Commitment: Stanford

The top prospect from the state of Colorado, Brendon Austin is ranked as a top 20 offensive tackle on both Scout and Rivals. At 6'6" and 265 lbs he needs to add some bulk to his frame in order to hold up against defensive ends at the next level, but the basics are there.

91. Landon Turner, OG (North Carolina)

Commitment: North Carolina

Landon Turner plays offensive tackle in high school, but he very well could make the transition to left guard based on his ability to drive block and get to the second and third levels quickly. At 6'5" and 305 lbs, he's got the size for either position, but the interior is where things look brightest. He's Scout's No. 4 OG. 

90. Rashad Greene, WR (FSU)

Commitment: FSU

Greene is ranked as the No. 14 wide receiver on Rivals and the No. 20 wide receiver on Scout. He's not the best at any particular thing, but does pretty much everything you want a receiver to do and is one of the most well-balanced prospects in the class. He runs good routes, has a solid pair of hands, and can block and be physical with CBs. 

89. Nathan Hughes, DE (Oklahoma)

Commitment: Oklahoma

Nathan Hughes is a top 20 defensive end on both Scout and Rivals and is the type of player that might not have elite athleticism, but he's got heart and an incredibly good work ethic. His motor is up there with the best of them and he never gives up on a play; this makes him a candidate for constant double teams. 

88. Angelo Mangiro, OG (Penn State)

Commitment: Penn State

Angelo Mangiro has the prototypical size of an offensive guard. He's got a massive lower body, low center of gravity, and a solid natural frame. He plays with a wide base and has excellent footwork and hand technique. Scout lists him as the No. 4 OG in the 2011 class and once you watch him run block you'll understand why. 

87. Jabriel Washington, DB (Alabama)

Commitment: Alabama

Washington has a ton of potential but definitely falls into the raw category; this one will be a bit of a project for Nick Saban and his staff. There's some disparity when ranking him though. He's the No. 11 CB on Scout, but drops all the way to the No. 34 ATH by Rivals account.

86. Remound Wright, RB (Stanford)

Commitment: Stanford

Stanford has quite a pair of running backs with Amir Carlisle and Remound Wright. Rivals ranks Wright as the No. 16 RB of the 2011 class and Scout ranks him No. 21. He's a patient runner who won't rush the play, but rather lets his blockers do their work and then hit the hole hard with a low center of gravity. 

85. Kellen Jones, MLB (Michigan)

Commitment: Michigan

Kellen Jones is a top 15 middle linebacker and is one of the strongest pound or pound prospects in the 2011 class. He's an aggressive, physical player who can cover the width of the field with the best of them in run support, but is a bit of a liability when it comes to the pass. 

84. Kenny Williams, RB (Texas Tech)

Commitment: Texas Tech

Kenny Williams is a first-off-the-bus type of player. He's a big, physical, between-the-tackles running back who won't back down to anyone and is always in search of contact when he's rushing. He'll run through you rather than past you, but has some good juke moves in open space as well. He's a top 20 RB on both Scout and Rivals.

83. Chase Farris, DT (Ohio State)

Commitment: Ohio State

Chase Farris is a little on the thin side for the defensive tackle position, but he's got the type of frame to build off of and could easily top over 300 lbs in a couple years. He plays both offensive tackle and defensive end in high school, but lacks the athleticism to be elite on the outside. He could, however, be a nasty force in the middle. 

82. Ron Tanner, S (Ohio State)

Commitment: Ohio State

Tanner is a player no one seems to agree on, but he does have a good tackling ability and coverage skills although his speed and change of direction ability are suspect. A top 10 safety on Scout, Tanner doesn't crack the top 40 on Rivals.

81. Conor Hanratty, OG (Notre Dame)

Commitment: Notre Dame

Hanratty has pulling guard written all over him and has the makings of a force on counters. He's explosive at the point of attack and moves very quickly for his size; but its the way he drives through his opponents that's most impressive. Scout ranks him as the No. 3 OG, but Rivals seriously underrated him at No. 34.

80. Valdez Showers, CB (Florida)

Commitment: Florida

Valdez Showers is a top 10 cornerback on Scout, but doesn't crack the top 30 at the position on Rivals. He's got great instincts and cover skills, but needs to work on his tackling and run support to be effective on the next level. 

79. Bill Belton, WR (Pitt)

Commitment: Pitt

Both Scout and Rivals agree that Bill Belton is a 4-star prospect, but they don't agree on where he should line up. Scout lists him as the No. 14 WR, while Rivals more conservatively pushes him back to No. 28 on their top ATH list. One thing is very clear, Belton is exceptionally fast on the football field and needs the ball in his hands.

78. C.J. Johnson, MLB (Mississippi State)

Commitment: Mississippi State

C.J. Johnson is Scout's No. 10 middle linebacker and Rivals' No. 6 inside linebacker. With some prospects, the label of inside and outside doesn't quite fit, but with him there's no question. Johnson is a middle linebacker. He plays so well between the tackles and can hunt down a ball-carrier along the sidelines about as well as anyone.

77. Bobby Hart, OT (FSU)

Commitment: FSU

Bobby Hart is rated as a top 10 offensive tackle by both Scout and Rivals and is an intriguing player for a number of reasons. He's got the size, arms, feet, and athleticism every offensive line coach in the country is looking for in an elite prospect. As soon as he learns how to be a better pass-blocker, FSU has something special here. 

76. Max Wittek, QB (USC)

Commitment: USC

Wittek is one of two quarterbacks committed to the Trojans so this situation could get a little dicey for one of them. He's a good talent with a high ceiling, but must work on his accuracy issues to be successful at the next level. He's Rivals No. 4 pro-style QB and the No. 16 QB on Scout.

75. Gerrod Holliman, S (Ole Miss)

Commitment: Ole Miss

Gerrod Holliman is ranked as the No. 5 safety on Rivals and the No. 12 safety on Scout. He's one of the top players from the state of Florida and arguably the best defensive player from Miami, a historic hotspot of defensive talent. His natural ability and instincts could turn him into an NFL star one day. 

74. Antwaun Woods, DT (USC)

Commitment: USC

Woods is a big boy and has the makings of a future NT at the NFL level if he's able to fine tune his skills and build up some muscles in the gym. Woods ranks as the No. 5 DT on Scout, but falls at the way to No. 23 on Rivals; based on his production he's shown enough to be considered top 10. 

73. Jordan Walsh, OG (Iowa)

Commitment: Iowa

Jordan Walsh is a top five offensive guard and one of the top players in Iowa's 2011 recruiting class. He's a powerful blocker with a great all-around skill-set and polished technique. Not the most athletic or strong, but Walsh knows how to use his body and will only get better with age. 

72. Brennen Beyer, DE (Michigan)

Commitment: Michigan

Brennen Beyer has a devastating initial burst off the line and hits his blockers with so much force that they're usually blown back immediately. It's his hand movement and technique that are most impressive about his game, though. Both Scout and Rivals rank him in the top 15 at his position. 

71. LaMichael Fanning, DE (Alabama)

Commitment: Alabama

LaMichael Fanning is one of the best 'gamers' in the country and can be a very disruptive force when he's rolling on all cylinders. Rivals ranks him as a top 10 defensive tackle and Scout ranks him as the No. 17 defensive end. Regardless though, he's a perfect fit for Alabama's 3-4 defense. 

70. Mustafa Jalil, DT (Cal)

Commitment: Cal

Mustafa Jalil is a huge prospect at 6'4", 300 lbs and one of the few pure nose tackles in the 2011 class. He's an excellent piece in the middle for Cal, but could potentially play one of the end spots due to his athleticism and pursuit. Scout ranks him as the No. 10 defensive tackle, but he could end up being better than that. 

69. Aaron Lynch, DE (Notre Dame)

Commitment: Notre Dame

At 6'5" and 235 lbs, Aaron Lynch is a bit undersized for a defensive end and might require a redshirt year to bulk up, but he's got a great natural frame and, once he fills out, could be a really dominating player. He's the No. 6 strongside defensive end on Rivals and the No. 9 defensive end on Scout. 

68. Cedric Reed, DE (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

Cedric Reed is ranked as a top 15 defensive end by both Scout and Rivals. He's got off the charts strength and for the most part just bull-rushes and overpowers his opponents at the high school level. He's got hand movement, is quick at the point of attack, and is very athletic for a 6'4", 250-lb lineman. 

67. C.J. Uzomah, TE (Auburn)

Commitment: Auburn

C.J. Uzomah is a quarterback at the high school level, but that's not where scouts are recruiting him to play in college. At 6'5" and 235 lbs, he's got great size and athleticism and has all the tools to be a very, very good tight end. He's listed as the No. 10 TE by Scouts and that's where his future looks brightest. 

66. Darion Arrington, S (Mississippi State)

Commitment: Mississippi State

There's some disparity in the experts' values of Darion Arrington. Scout lists him as the No. 4 safety, but Rivals lists him at No. 18. He's a hard-working, hustle guy who plays all out and leads by example on the field. Arrington is a natural at safety and should quickly adjust to the college game.  

65. Cody Kessler, QB (USC)

Commitment: USC

Another quarterback for the Trojans, Kessler is one of the best pro-style quarterbacks in the country and a hard worker who puts a lot of effort into getting better. Scout ranks him as the No. 10 QB in the 2011 class and Rivals ranks him as the No. 2 pro-style passer.

64. Quincy Russell, DT (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

Quincy Russell is one of the top defensive tackles in the country and at 6'3" and 283 lbs, he's able to dominate the battle in the middle like very few can. He's an elite run-stopper and a better-than-advertised pass-rusher. Both Scout and Rivals list in the top 10 at his position. 

63. Evan Crower, QB (Stanford)

Commitment: Stanford

A great grab for the Cardinal, Crower is a ready-now prospect with great instincts, accuracy, decision-making and throwing technique. He's a pure pocket passer with a ton of upside ranked as the No. 11 QB by Scout.

62. Jameel Poteat, RB (Pitt)

Commitment: Pitt

Jameel Poteat is a top 20 running back on both Scout and Rivals and seems like a perfect fit at Pitt, where he'll have the chance to back up Dion Lewis. Poteat is a big back with a good power game, but it's his ability to contribute in the passing game that really makes him stand out. 

61. Kenny Hayes, DE (Ohio State)

Commitment: Ohio State

Kenny Hayes is a big defensive lineman who has the versatility and size to either bulk up and move inside to defensive tackle or stay where he is as a strongside defensive end. That's where Rivals ranks him as the No. 2 prospect. His best asset is his ability to handle double teams, which could make him a handful down the line. 

60. Amir Carlisle, RB (Stanford)

Commitment: Stanford

Amir Carlisle has the potential to be a superb college football player. He's got great change of direction ability, is elusive and explosive, and can contribute in the passing game. The problem is he hasn't really been tested yet. So while he's considered a top 20 back by both Scout and Rivals, expectations are tempered. 

59. Jamal Turner, QB (Nebraska)

Commitment: Nebraska

When you look at Nebraska's situation with Jamal Turner and Bubba Starling—both ranked as top 10 quarterbacks in the 2011 class—it seems like someone is bound to transfer. Of course, if Starling heads off to MLB the problem is solved, but otherwise it could be a bumpy ride for one of these two Cornhuskers. 

58. Justice Hayes, RB (Notre Dame)

Commitment: Notre Dame

You could say that Justice Hayes helped get the ball rolling for Notre Dame. After he committed a couple of weeks ago, the school got three other solid commitments just a couple days later. Hayes is a versatile back with a strong overall game. He's ranked as the No. 5 APB on Rivals and the No. 14 RB on Scout. 

57. Bubba Starling, QB (Nebraska)

Commitment: Nebraska

Bubba Starling is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the country, ranked as the No. 7 QB on Scout and the No. 3 dual-threat QB on Rivals. He's also a heavily sought-after baseball prospect who might end up bypassing college for a shot at Major League Baseball; we'll find out in the 2011 MLB draft. 

56. Sedrick Flowers, OG (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

Sedrick Flowers is ranked as the No. 1 offensive guard on Rivals and the No. 6 offensive guard on Scout. One thing immediately stands out about Flowers the moment you see him in drills or on the field: He is almost unnaturally strong and super athletic for his size. He has as much potential as any OG in the nation. 

55. J.W. Walsh, QB (Oklahoma State)

Commitment: Oklahoma State

J.W. Walsh has a cannon for an arm and it's only getting stronger as he gets older. Right now, he's considered the No. 4 dual-threat quarterback by Rivals and the No. 7 quarterback by Scout, but he could easily climb the ranks with the type of strong senior season most followers expect. 

54. Nick Waisome, CB (Florida)

Commitment: Florida

Waisome is joined by Valdez Showers to form a solid duo of 4-star cornerbacks the Gators have received commitments from. Waisome is ranked as the No. 8 cornerback on Scout and the No. 11 cornerback on Rivals. He and Showers have the potential to be a scary pair. 

53. Jaxon Shipley, WR (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

The younger brother of former Longhorn Jordan Shipley, Jaxon will be following in his brother's footsteps and might prove to be even better at Texas in a couple years time. The steam has started to pick up for Shipley as he's now considered a top 10 receiver on Scout. 

52. Ryne Reeves, C (Nebraska)

Commitment: Nebraska

The next best thing at the center position beyond Brian Bobeck, Reeves is a very talented lineman with the ideal size for the position. He needs to work on staying with his block all the way through the play, but that's the only knock you'll find on Scout's No. 2 center.

51. Garrett Greenlea, OT (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

The second of the Longhorns 5-star haul along the offensive line, Greenlea is a disputed prospect ranked as the No. 3 OT by Scout and the No. 15 OT by Rivals. He's got a ton of upside and a great natural frame for the position though; he'll excel at the next level.

50. Victor Blackwell, WR (USC)

Commitment: USC

Blackwell's greatest asset is without a doubt his hands. The ball just sticks to some guys when they go up for it and he's one of them. He's got great speed and can really adjust to the ball when it's in the air, but is undersized and needs to bulk up. Rivals ranks him No. 8 among WRs and Scout ranks him No. 11.

49. Tyler Moore, OT (Nebraska)

Commitment: Nebraska

Moore is a top 10 offensive tackle prospect by both Scout and Rivals' rankings and has the natural frame of an elite talent. He needs to perfect his technique and footwork, but the building blocks are there for a dominating tackle at any level.

48. Brian Bobek, C (Ohio State)

Commitment: Ohio State

Bobeck is the best center of the 2011 class and one of the smartest football players you'll ever come across. He's excellent at adjusting to the defense and getting his linemates in order in a hurry. Scout ranks him as the No. 1 center and Rivals ranks him No. 2.

47. Marvin Shinn, WR (Alabama)

Commitment: Alabama

If you're an Alabama fan, you've probably already heard quite a bit about "Marvelous" Marvin Shinn. He's one of the most electric wide receivers in the 2011 class and a playmaker who can score any time he gets into open space. He's taken a huge jump this summer and is ranked as a top 10 WR by both Scout and Rivals.

46. Matt Hegarty, OT (Notre Dame)

Commitment: Notre Dame

Another good grab along the offensive line for the Irish, Hegarty is one of the best offensive tackles in the nation and is a good summer or two in the weight room from being an elite talent. Scout ranks him as the No. 8 OT and Rivals ranks him No. 5.

45. Brett Hundley, QB (UCLA)

Commitment: UCLA

Hundley is the No. 5 quarterback on Scout and becomes the latest high-profile passer to commit, having announced his decision to join the Bruins on Monday. Hundley is an athletic dual-threat quarterback who should enter the mix quickly at UCLA. 

44. James Vaughters, OLB (Stanford)

Commitment: Stanford

Vaughters is one of the top linebackers from the 2011 class and is one of most disciplined players in the country when it comes to sticking to his assignments and not over-pursing. He's a top 10 LB on both Scout and Rivals.

43. Albert Louis-Jean, CB/S (Miami)

Commitment: Miami

Louis-Jean is best known for his ability to land a big hit and he's the type of player that's just waiting to put an opponent to rest. He's the No .5 safety on Scout and No. 10 on Rivals, but even those rankings might undervalue him a bit. 

42. Jon Davis, TE (Kentucky)

Commitment: Kentucky

Davis is a versatile athlete who's about as quick as any tight end prospect in the country. He gets off the line so quickly for his size its very difficult for opponents to cover him; that adds up to an excellent deep threat. He ranks as the No. 5 TE on Scout.

41. Brendon Bigelow, RB (Washington

Commitment: Washington

A knee injury cost him a big chunk of his junior season as well as his placement on a lot of rankings this summer, but Bigelow has a lot of talent and has the potential to be one of the best all-around backs of the class; it all depends on the status of his knee.

40. Quandre Diggs, CB (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

Diggs has the NFL bloodlines and the athleticism to match it. He's raw, but the potential is very high for this young man. Scout ranks him as the No. 5 CB and Rivals ranks him No. 8 among athletes; it's remains to be seen exactly where his future lies.

39. Marlin Lane, RB (Clemson)

Commitment: Clemson

Both Scout and Rivals list Marlin Lane as the No. 8 running back in the 2011 class, which should make you realize how stacked the Tigers will be on offense considering they also received a commitment from a top five back in Mike Bellamy. While Bellamy is the burner, Lane is more on the side of a power back. 

38. Jalen Grimble, DE (USC)

Commitment: USC

Grimble is a 5-star defensive end ranked No. 5 at his position by Scout and No. 11 by Rivals. He's got the size, strength and athleticism to be a defensive tackle in a 4-3 or a defensive end in 3-4, but it remains to be seen how the coaches at USC plan to use him. 

37. Michael Bennett, DT (Ohio State)

Commitment: Ohio State

Bennett is a two-way offensive lineman who has the potential to play on either side of the ball, but has a real knack for penetration and projects best on the defensive end of the field. He's Rivals No. 1 DT and Scout's No. 6.

36. Ben Koyack, TE (Notre Dame)

Commitment: Notre Dame

Koyack is one of the nations top tight ends and has the skill-set and ability of a wide out trapped in a big man's body; that makes him a constant mismatch against any opponent. He's Scout's No. 2 TE and and Rivals No. 5.

35. Kiaro Holts, OT (North Carolina)

Commitment: North Carolina

Holts is on the slim side for an offensive tackle, but is pound for pound one of the strongest players in the 2011 class and has jaw-dropping ability to overpower defenders at the point of attack. He's ranked 4th among OTs by Scout and is the headliner of the Tar Heels 2011 recruiting class. 

34. Karlos Williams, S (FSU)

Commitment: FSU

Karlos Williams isn't your average safety. He's built like a linebacker and could easily end up there based on his tackling ability and size. He's also got a great pair of hands and enough speed that it makes you wonder if this 6'2", 210-lb prospect could be a dominant receiver. Williams is Rivals No. 1 safety. 

33. Trevon Randle, LB (LSU)

Commitment: LSU

Randle is a statistical beast who had 176 tackles, five sacks, three picks, four forced fumbles, and 14 touchdowns as a junior. He's Scout's No. 5 OLB and Rivals No. 15, but this is one prospect that's just a straight gamer and could prove to be one of the top overall prospects from the class. 

32. Steve Miller, DE (Ohio State)

Commitment: Ohio State

Miller is one of the nations top defensive ends and a solid pass-rusher who does a great job of penetrating the backfield and bringing ball-carriers down. He's Scout's No. 4 DE and Rivals No. 10, but might prove to be the top player at his position down the line.

31. Sheroid Evans, S (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

Evans is one of the fastest players in the country, posting the best 400 meter nationally last year. He's undersized and on the raw side, but that doesn't stop Scout from ranking him No. 2 at the safety position and Rivals ranking him No. 9.

30. Josh Turner, CB (Texas

Commitment: Texas

Turner is another great addition to the Longhorns' secondary. He's a great all-around corner with a great pair of hands and solid football instinct. He is the No. 2 CB on Rivals and the No. 4 CB on Scout. He and Leroy Scott should form a dominating tag team on the outside. 

29. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE (Washington)

Commitment: Washington

Some might consider Seferian-Jenkins the piece that convinced top recevier Kasen Williams to join the Huskies. Seferian-Jenkins is a 5-star tight end ranked in the top five at the position. He's big enough to play offensive line and athletic enough to spot up at receiver.

28. Brey Cook, OT (Arkansas)

Commitment: Arkansas

Cook is a massive prospect at offensive tackle, who at 6'7" and 310 lbs appears to not be done growing yet and has the looks of a kid still filling into his body. If he can polish off his technique, you have yourself an elite left tackle. Cook ranks as a top 10 prospect at his position by both Scout and Rivals.

27. Charone Peake, WR (Clemson)

Commitment: Clemson

Peake will join Mike Bellamy at Clemson to form a scary one-two punch on th offensive side of the ball. The 5-star receiver is so quick off the line and one of the best deep-ball threats in the country. He's Scout's No. 4 WR and No. 6 on Rivals.

26. Trey DePriest, LB (Alabama

Commitment: Alabama

Alabama's newest high-profile commitment, Trey DePriest has the versatility and athleticism to play both inside and outside linebacker, but based on his size and instincts, it looks like middle linebacker all the way. DePriest is Scout's No. 4 middle linebacker and Rivals No. 6 Outside linebacker. 

25. Teddy Bridgewater, QB (Miami)

Commitment: Miami

Bridgewater has a great skill-set for a quarterback and is one of the most athletic prospects from the 2011 class.He's rated as the No. 3 QB by Scout and the No. 5 dual-threat QB by Rivals. Coming from the same high school as current Hurricanes QB Jacory Harris, the comparisons have only just begun. 

24. Brent Calloway, LB (Alabama)

Commitment: Alabama

Calloway plays both running back and defensive end in high school, but his future is at outside linebacker at the next level. He's a superb pass-rusher with great pursuit skills and a wide array of moves to beat out blockers. Like Hilliard, he's not the most athletic, but these guys are gamers and you have to look past that. 

23. Kiehl Frazier, QB (Auburn)

Commitment: Auburn

Frazier is one of the best QBs in the country and the type of competitor that refuses to lose. He's a smart and talented dual-threat passer who's deadly attacking either way; Scout's No. 4 QB and Rivals' No. 2 dual-threat QB.

22. Anthony Johnson, DT (LSU)

Commitment: LSU

Anthony Johnson is one of the top defensive tackles in the country, ranked by Scout and Rivals No. 2 at his position. He's a big prospect who at 6'4" and nearly 300 lbs is already carrying mostly muscle on his frame and knows exactly how to dominate his opposition with it. 

21. Brandon Williams, RB (Oklahoma

Commitment: Oklahoma

Williams is a great all-around running back who contributes not only in the running game, but as a legitimate weapon in the passing game as well. He doesn't have elite size or speed, but makes up with it with a great football brain. Scout lists him as the No. 8 RB and Rivals ranks him as the No. 3 APB.

20. Jeoffrey Pagan, DE (Florida)

Commitment: Florida

Pagan has about as much upside as any prospect in the country as he's only played a year of football to this point but already has the scouts raving over his ability. Rivals ranks him as the No. 25 overall prospect, but Scout list him at No. 13 for DEs.

19. Christian LeMay, QB (Georgia)

Commitment: Georgia

LeMay is a dangerous passer who spent his junior year beating defenses with is passing game, but he has the athleticism and speed to be an elite dual-threat quarterback at the next level. Scout ranks him No. 2 among QBs and Rivals ranks him as the No. 3 pro-style QB.

18. Jeff Driskel, QB (Florida)

Commitment: Florida

The top pro-style quarterback of the 2011 class, Jeff Driskel is ESPN and Rivals No. 1 ranked QB and the No. 2 QB on Scout. He's got a very strong arm and is an accurate passer who can make all the throws a college quarterback needs to make; plus he's a better than advertised rusher. 

17. Kasen Williams, WR, (Washington)

Commitment: Washington

Williams is arguably the top receiver of the 2011 class, though that honor could go to a few from this class. Williams is big, physical, polished, and ready to play. He'll quickly make an impact on the next level and is the highlight of the Huskies class. 

16. Kenny Hilliard, RB (LSU)

Commitment: LSU

Kenny Hilliard is the type of running back that won't beat you with blazing speed or elusiveness, but simply just does everything well and has some of the best field vision of any player in the country. If you're looking for a North-South rusher, he's your guy. Rivals ranks him as the No. 16 overall prospect. 

15. Leroy Scott, CB (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

Scott is arguably the top cornerback back of the 2011 class and plays with the very definition of a lockdown cover corner. He glues himself to his receiver and has a tremendous ability to position himself where he can almost always make a play on the ball. Scout ranks him as the No. 3 corner, but Rivals gives him only No. 18 at his position.

14. Herschel Sims, RB (Oklahoma State)

Commitment: Oklahoma State

Sims is a home run threat at running back every single play and one of the most elusive rushers of the 2011 class. He's got incredible field vision and is pretty much gone if he can get outside. Scout ranks him as the No. 4 RB, while Rivals ranks him as the No. 4 APB.

13. Desmond Jackson, DT (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

Jackson is one of the top defensive tackles in the country and has great explosive ability and pass rushing skills. Scout ranks him No. 2 at his position and Rivals ranks him No. 4. He's one of the best all-around defensive prospects in the class and should be right at home at Texas. 

12. Jarvis Landry, WR (LSU)

Commitment: LSU

Landry is one of the top wideouts in the country and a play-maker who has arguably the best set of hands in the 2011 class. He's ranked as the No. 8 WR by Scout, but comes in right after George Farmer at No. 2 on Rivals list. He's about as good a gamer as they come. 

11. Christian Westerman, OT (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

Westerman is one of the top offensive lineman in the 2011 class and has the skill-set to succeed as either a tackle or a guard, depending on how his coaches decide to use him. The No. 1 OG on Scout's list, Westerman ranks as the No. 3 OT by Rivals.

10. Steve Edmond, OLB (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

Edmond is a tackling machine at the high school level who looks like a grown man with no business on the field with these kids. He's great in pursuit and about as natural a defender as they come. Scout ranks him as the No. 4 MLB and Rivals ranks him second among OLBs.

9. Trey Metoyer, WR (Oklahoma)

Commitment: Oklahoma

Metoyer is a very talented receiver who does everything well and has tremendous potential. He lacks elite speed and that costs him the 5-star ranking he deserves, but he's still a top five receiver on both Rivals and Scout.

8. Hasean Clinton-Dix, S (Alabama)

Commitment: Alabama

Clinton-Dix is the top safety from the 2011 class and has the ideal skill-set and size for either safety position. He's a physical player with great coverage skills and a knack for big plays. Scout ranks him first at his position and Rivals ranks him as the No. 3 athlete.

7. Mike Bellamy, RB (Clemson)

Commitment: Clemson

Bellamy is a lighting bolt out of the backfield with legit 4.3-second 40-time. He has off the charts elusiveness and change of direction ability, and is a threat to take it to the house on any given play. Bellamy is the No. 2 RB on Rivals and No. 5 on Scout. 

6. Lawrence Thomas, LB (Michigan State)

Commitment: Michigan State

Thomas is one of the best linebackers in the country and the type of versatile athlete that could play inside or out, back up and play safety, or even bulk up and play end. He's Scout's and Rivals' No. 2 ranked inside linebacker.

5. La'El Collins, OT (LSU)

Commitment: LSU

La'El Collins is one of the top offensive lineman from the 2011 class and has the makings of an elite college player who only needs to work on his strength and minor technique issues to succeed at the next level. He's Rivals' No. 1 OT and Scout's No. 2 OT.

4. Braxton Miller, QB (Ohio State)

Commitment: Ohio State

Braxton Miller is the top quarterback in the country and one of the best overall rated prospects from the 2011 class. He's a dangerous dual-threat weapon and is ranked as the top QB by Scout and the top dual-threat QB by Rivals.

3. De'Anthony Thomas, RB/CB (USC)

Commitment: USC

Thomas is one of the top overall prospects in the country and rates out as a 5-star talent on both ends of the field; which is where he might end up playing in 2011. He's Scout's No. 1 CB and Rivals No. 2 ATH, but aspires to play both sides of the ball on his route to a Heisman campaign.

2. Malcolm Brown, RB (Texas)

Commitment: Texas

The top running back of the 2011 class, Brown has everything you want from a rusher. He's big, powerful, elusive, and has top-end vision. He's ranked No. 1 at the position by both Scout and Rivals and is one of the nation's top five prospects. 

1. James Wilder, ATH (FSU)

Commitment: FSU

Wilder is an athletic freak who projects as one of the best defensive players in the country, but he's insistent on his wishes to play running back and that's where the Seminoles are going to play him. Wilder is a top five overall prospect.
