Whether it be 5-star quarterbacks, a 348-pound offensive lineman or a defensive end with superstar potential as just a rising junior, the recruiting class of 2015 boasts plenty of headliners.

These are recruits that everybody is going to want to follow. If they visit a school, it's going to be all over the Internet. If they send out a tweet, about anything, expect a flurry of analysis to follow.

Once they narrow down their respective interest list, recruiting fans and coaches around the nation will be tuned in hoping to see that their program made the cut. And once these players eventually commit and sign, they will be the marquee recruits of their respective classes.

In fact, even though signing day 2015 is far away, these top recruits are already making headlines.

Jared Wangler, a 3-star outside linebacker, is committed to Penn State, and that doesn't appear to be changing any time soon—even after a recent offer from LSU.

There's nothing for Penn State fans to worry about here.

According to Jared Shanker of ESPN.com, Wangler remains committed despite an offer from the SEC power:

This is great news for Bill O'Brien and his staff, and it should also be validating for both Penn State and Wangler.

Ohio State has landed the commitment of 4-star outside linebacker Dante Booker, who's the No. 6 outside linebacker in the 2014 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports composite.

That news alone would be great for Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes, but Booker is also a talented state of Ohio recruit. In fact, the 247Sports composite ranks him as the No. 3 player from the state.

Anyone who knows anything about recruiting will tell you that in-state recruiting is key, even for a program as big as Ohio State.

Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports reports on the commitment:

Cordell Broadus, a 4-star wide receiver in the class of 2015, has received an offer from LSU, according to Lyons Yellin of The Times-Picayune. Outside of USC, this is easily Broadus' biggest offer to date.

Broadus, the son of legendary rapper Snoop Lion, formerly Snoop Dogg, is 6'2", 180 pounds, and runs a 4.50 40-yard dash, according to 247Sports. He is the No. 7 wideout in the 2015 class.

Broadus is not receiving "celebrity offers." He's a legitimate talent and an intriguing college football recruit. He wouldn't be such a highly ranked receiver if that weren't the case.

He's a big receiver with good length and athleticism. He gets separation because of his quick footwork and route-running ability.

Myles Garrett, 5-star defensive end from Arlington, Texas, projects to be a great defensive end at the college level.

He's the No. 2 weak-side defensive end in the 2014 class, and the No. 5 player from the talent-laden state of Texas, both according to the 247Sports composite rankings.

As it stands, Garrett seems to be a Texas A&M lean, but Oklahoma and TCU are also on his interest list (247Sports). Wherever he does end up though, Garrett has star potential.

Dominique Booth, 4-star wide receiver from Indianapolis, Ind., has a top four of Alabama, Florida State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. While all four programs are great options, there's one that would provide him with the best fit: Tennessee.

The Volunteers have been hot on the recruiting trail and Butch Jones has his program set up to finish the 2014 recruiting cycle as one of the better recruiting programs in the nation. His presence alone has drastically changed the perception of Tennessee football.

At the very least, Tennessee's offense projects to be much better, but with the talent he's bringing in right now, a turnaround in Knoxville should be expected—on both sides of the ball.

Booth is the No. 23 wideout in the 2014 class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, and he's 6'1'', 200 pounds—good size for a wide receiver.

247Sports' No. 1 recruit in the class of 2015 has something in common with President Barack Obama. Both are products of the same high school in Hawaii.

Three quarterbacks received 5-star rankings, and all three are products of pro-style systems from the state of California. One, Josh Rosen, runs a 4.55-second 40-yard dash, according to 247Sports, and already has offers from Michigan, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, among others.

Thanks to the newly released Top247 for 2015, it's time to let the conversation begin.

 

No. 1 Recruit: Canton Kaumatule

Canton Kaumatule, newly minted 5-star defensive end, is just a rising junior, but he already checks in at nearly 6'7'', 275 pounds. At that size, he has immense potential as a college football recruit.

So much potential, in fact, that the experts at 247Sports have named him the No. 1 recruit in the newly  released Top247 for 2015.

Kaumatule is from Honolulu, Hawaii, and attends Punahou School. Gerry Hamilton of 247Sports reports that Panuahou is the same school that has produced President Barack Obama and former Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o.

Talk about a legacy of high expectations.

South Carolina has picked up a major 2015 commitment, as weak-side defensive end Shameik Blackshear from Bluffton, S.C., has committed to the Gamecocks.

Kipp Adams of ESPN.com reports on the commitment:

Blackshear goes on to explain why he chose the Gamecocks, per Adams: "I chose South Carolina because I know I can guide and lead the program when it is my turn," Blackshear said. "South Carolina is a great place to be, and I am loved all over Columbia." 

Blackshear is 6'4'', 235 pounds, and he's only a rising junior. Those measurables alone are impressive, but this tweet from Tony Morrell of TheBigSpur.com sets the bar quite high for the 2015 recruit:

LSU's 2014 recruiting class has taken a huge hit, as it's being reported that 5-star JUCO wide receiver D'haquille Williams has decommitted.

Per his Twitter account, Taylor Hamm of 247Sports cites a text he received from Williams saying that he'd decommited from the Tigers:

Williams has elite measurables, checking in at 6'3'', 213 pounds, running a 4.40 40, according to 247Sports. He's also ranked as the No. 1 JUCO wideout in the nation and the No. 1 JUCO recruit in the 2014 class, according to the 247Sports Composite.

As far as JUCO players are concerned, Williams is the best of the best, so losing his commitment is a massive blow to LSU's recruiting efforts in 2014.
