College Football Recruiting 2013: Offensive Recruits Who'll Be Household Names

The 2013 recruiting class features a ton of offensive talent.

With a stronger QB class this year, solid WR prospects and about six elite, upper-echelon RBs, I think the skill positions have a good amount of talent who will become known commodities soon enough. There are also a couple TE prospects in this class whom I think have a good chance to be featured players in their future offenses.

For this read, I'm going to give you 10 offensive recruits who will develop into stars and household names.

Get ready!

10. Christian Hackenburg, QB

A Penn State commit, Hackenburg has a chance to be what Anthony Morrelli wasn't in Happy Valley: a highly touted QB prospect who actually lives up to his billing.

At 6'4" and 215 pounds, Hackenburg flashes good arm strength, accuracy, timing and solid decision-making. Bill O'Brien will coach him up, and he should be "The Guy" in Happy Valley very soon.

9. Thomas Tyner, RB

If Tyner can stay healthy, then he probably will be placed higher on this list after awhile.

Tyner is a 6'0", 205-pound rock-toter with world-class speed. An Oregon pledge, Tyner has the ability to come in and make an impact as a true freshman. Over time, his size and speed should make him a feature back and a weapon in an offense that really plays to his strengths. 

8. Jalin Marshall, ATH

Whether he goes to Ohio State as a spread option QB or gets moved to WR or RB, Marshall has ability to become a good one in Urban Meyer's offense.

Marshall is 6'1", 190 pounds and is simply a playmaker with the ball in his hands. I can see where, in a season or two, Marshall will become a prominent player in Columbus. 

7. Stacey Coley, WR

For starters, I think Coley will eventually end up at Florida; if not, then somewhere within the SEC.

The 6'1", 175-pounder has great speed, athleticism, foot quickness and an ability to really pressure a defense as a RAC player. Coley has No. 1 WR potential, and when he gets with a full-time WR coach in college, his ceiling will begin to be reached.

6. Adam Breneman, TE

Breneman is a 6'5", 225-pound natural pass-catcher who's headed to an offense that puts an emphasis on tossing to the TE. He's the top seam player on my board, and he has soft hands, length and good ball skills.

Bill O'Brien did well with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez in New England, so I think he'll find a way to exploit matchups with Breneman at Penn State. 

5. Ty Isaac, RB

Isaac does too much, is too big and too fast to not become a household name in college football. 

This is a 6'2", 220-pound running back we're talking about here. He possesses excellent speed, elusiveness, run instincts and the ability to factor as a receiver out of the backfield.

Wherever Isaac ends up, his size should get him on the field early, and his skill set should keep him out there. 

4. Ricky Seals-Jones, WR

RS-J is going to Texas next year, and he'll either become a big WR or a great pass-catching TE. 

He's already 6'5" and nearly 220 pounds as a high schooler, and he's still filling out his frame. With his length, ball skills, leaping ability, athleticism and good speed, Seals-Jones should form a great tandem with Caleb Jones in Austin. 

3. Robert Foster, WR

Foster should step in and become one of the fastest players on his team right away wherever he signs.

At 6'3" and in the 190-pound range, he has excellent athleticism, speed, quickness, explosion, suddenness, separation quickness and AC ability. This guy is a playmaker, and his catch radius is growing by the day.

Foster has No. 1 WR talent and will be a focal point in a college offensive passing game.

2. Tyrone Swoopes

Swoopes is the top prospect out of Texas this year and, well, he's headed to Texas.

A 6'5", 220-pound dual-threat QB, the sky is the limit for Swoopes. He has a better delivery and stroke than Vince Young, is the same size and has better potential as a passer. Swoopes can work from the pocket or on the move.

Look for him to become the starter in Austin, perhaps after a redshirt year, and to develop into one of the top QBs in both the Big 12 and the nation.

1. Max Browne, QB

The top QB prospect in the Class of 2013, Browne is a 6'5", 210-pounder from Washington.

Headed to USC, he'll try to pull a Matt Barkley and win the job as an early enrollment true freshman next spring.

Browne has excellent mechanics, a very quick release, good arm strength, touch and accuracy. He won't wow you with athleticism, but USC's offense is a pro-style attack that doesn't require much running from its field general.

Browne has a chance to be the next great USC QB.
