2 of 101
Where Derrick Nnadi is headed: Signed with Florida State

3 of 101
Where Garrett Brumfield is headed: Signed with LSU
Brumfield, a second-team All-USA selection, is a physical road-grader ready to compete for a role on the two-deep depth chart in 2014. He is the nation's sixth-ranked offensive guard, and the 4-star recruit plays through the whistle.

4 of 101
Where Demetrius Knox is headed: Signed with Ohio State
Knox, rated the 15th-best player in Texas, earned second-team All-USA honors after a state title-winning season at All Saints Episcopal. The 4-star prospect competes with a mean streak and already has a physique well-equipped for college football.
96. C.J. Hampton, S, 6'1", 195 Lbs
5 of 101
Where C.J. Hampton is headed: Enrolled at Ole Miss
Hampton, who heavily considered Alabama, hits like a linebacker and possesses raw coverage instincts to excel in the SEC. He is the nation's eighth-ranked safety recruit and a 4-star prospect with potential to improve the Rebels secondary immediately.
95. Dillon Bates, OLB, 6'3", 220 Lbs
6 of 101
Where Dillon Bates is headed: Signed with Tennessee
Bates, a 4-star Florida product, racked up 81 tackles, two interceptions and two sacks as a senior to secure second-team All-USA honors. Tennessee has stockpiled talent at the position, but the nation's No. 7 outside linebacker prospect can contend for a valuable reserve role during his first season on campus.
94. Justin Brent, WR, 6'3", 190 Lbs
7 of 101
Where Justin Brent is headed: Signed with Notre Dame
Brent, the top-rated recruit in Indiana, beats opponents with precise route-running skills and picks up yards after the catch in bunches. He spent much of his senior season in the backfield, rushing for 1,315 yards and 18 touchdowns, per MaxPreps, but the 4-star prospect projects favorably as a top-level wide receiver.
93. Trevor Darling, OT, 6'4.5", 327 Lbs
8 of 101
Where Trevor Darling is headed: Enrolled at Miami
Darling is a dominant run-blocker who paved the way to a state title at Miami Central High School as a senior. The nation's ninth-ranked offensive tackle is a 4-star prospect who displays intimidating upper-body power and will push for a spot near the top of the depth chart.
92. Zach Whitley, ILB, 6'2", 223 Lbs
9 of 101
Where Zach Whitley is headed: Signed with UCLA
The Houston-area Defensive Player of the Year is a 4-star talent who swarms to the football and brings down ball-carriers with incredible efficiency. Whitley, ranked fifth nationally among inside linebackers, is also a legitimate threat to take down the quarterback in blitz situations.
91. Christian McCaffrey, RB, 6'0", 195 Lbs
10 of 101
Where Christian McCaffrey is headed: Signed with Stanford
The two-time Gatorade Football Player of the Year in Colorado is the son of former Denver Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey.

90. Brian Wallace, OT, 6'6", 305 Lbs
11 of 101
Where Brian Wallace is headed: Signed with Arkansas
Wallace, the country's eighth-ranked offensive tackle, overwhelms opponents with elite reach and fine footwork. The 4-star St. Louis talent stands to compete for a substantial depth-chart position on the left side of the line with a strong freshman training camp.
89. Frank Iheanacho, WR, 6'6", 220 Lbs
12 of 101
Where Frank Iheanacho is headed: Signed with Texas A&M
The 4-star Houston product was a late riser in recruiting after not even playing football as a junior. The nation's No. 13 wide receiver recruit remains raw but has one of the highest ceilings of any offensive playmaker in the 2014 class. He's an intriguing talent with room to grow in a young Texas A&M attack.
88. Arrion Springs, CB, 5'11", 192 Lbs
13 of 101
Where Arrion Springs is headed: Signed with Oregon
Springs, the nation's ninth-ranked cornerback, is a 4-star prospect who operates smoothly in coverage. He still has strides to make in run support but should supply the Ducks with at least a very quality special teams contributor in 2014.
87. Dylan Sumner-Gardner, S, 6'1", 193 Lbs
14 of 101
Where Dylan Sumner-Gardner is headed: Enrolled at Boise State
Sumner-Gardner is the nation's seventh-ranked safety and participated in the Under Armour All-American Game. The 4-star prospect initially committed to Texas A&M but should have a clearer path to playing time with the Broncos.
86. Viane Talamaivao, OG, 6'3", 310 Lbs
15 of 101
Where Viane Talamaivao is headed: Signed with USC
Talamaivao is a 4-star Southern California prospect who opted to remain close to home during college. The nation's No. 4 offensive guard gives first-year USC coach Steve Sarkisian a true interior anchor to build around up front for years to come.
85. Josh Frazier, DT, 6'3", 335 Lbs
16 of 101
Where Josh Fraizer is headed: Signed with Alabama
Fraizer, a 4-star recruit listed as the second-best prospect in Arkansas, was plucked up by Nick Saban. He is a powerful nose tackle who creates space for linebackers. Opportunities will be hard to come by early in Tuscaloosa, but his time will arrive if he can impress in practice.
84. Cameron Sims, WR, 6'4", 199 Lbs
17 of 101
Where Cameron Sims is headed: Enrolled at Alabama
Sims is the country's No. 12 receiver prospect and is among a crop of elite Louisiana pass-catchers in this class. The 4-star recruit fits the mold of past premier Crimson Tide receivers, attacking the secondary with a large frame and tremendous acceleration.
83. Allen Lazard, WR, 6'4.5", 207 Lbs
18 of 101
Where Allen Lazard is headed: Signed with Iowa State
Lazard, the 11th-best receiver prospect in the nation, is a physically imposing specimen who makes defensive backs look foolish in one-on-one coverage. The 4-star prospect is set up for a very productive freshman season in Ames, where the Cyclones have anxiously awaited his arrival.
82. Casey Tucker, OT, 6'6", 270 Lbs
19 of 101
Where Casey Tucker is headed: Signed with Stanford
Tucker is the top-ranked offensive tackle prospect in the Western region. The 4-star Arizona standout must build on his frame to handle the rigors of being an every-down Pac-12 blocker, but he has the skill set to excel on either side of the line.
81. Bijhon Jackson, DT, 6'1.75", 334 Lbs
20 of 101
Where Bijohn Jackson is headed: Signed with Arkansas
The top-ranked recruit in Arkansas is a stout run defender with a relentless motor for a man of his size. The 4-star defensive tackle is rated fifth overall at his position and can break through into the front-line rotation as a freshman.
80. Jalyn Holmes, DE, 6'5", 225 Lbs
21 of 101
Where Jalyn Holmes is headed: Signed with Ohio State
Holmes is the country's fourth-ranked weak-side defensive end prospect. He needs to add bulk as a Buckeye, but the 4-star prospect already possesses elite athleticism and speed that sets him apart from the pack.
79. David Cornwell, QB, 6'5", 241 Lbs
22 of 101
Where David Cornwell is headed: Enrolled at Alabama
Cornwell, a 4-star prospect and the top-ranked player in Oklahoma, is rated the nation's No. 4 pro-style passer. His stature allows him to survey the field and deliver strikes with his cannon. His immediate role in college depends on how he recovers from a senior-season knee injury.
78. Trey Quinn, WR, 6'1", 200 Lbs
23 of 101
Where Trey Quinn is headed: Signed with LSU
The 4-star Louisiana standout set an all-time career receiving yardage record in 2013, finishing high school with 6,566 yards. Rated the nation's 10th-best receiver recruit, Quinn has an opportunity to earn early reps in Cam Cameron's offensive attack.
77. Thomas Holley, DT, 6'4", 285 Lbs
24 of 101
Where Thomas Holley is headed: Signed with Florida
Holley, a 4-star prospect from Brooklyn, remains a raw recruit after playing just two seasons of high school football, but his game tape already shines. The nation's fourth-ranked defensive tackle flipped from Penn State to Florida following the departure of Bill O'Brien. He faces heavy competition along a talented Gators defensive front, so a redshirt season is a possibility.
76. Johnnie Dixon, WR, 5'10", 187 Lbs
25 of 101
Where Johnnie Dixon is headed: Enrolled at Ohio State
Dixon, a 4-star Florida prospect, is considered the nation's No. 9 receiver recruit. He has all the physical tools you look for in a combo pass target and gives the Buckeyes a legitimate weapon in the intermediate passing game.
75. Brandon Harris, QB, 6'2.5", 193 Lbs
26 of 101
Where Brandon Harris is headed: Enrolled at LSU
Harris, the nation's No. 3 dual-threat quarterback prospect, has plenty of upside as he heads to Baton Rouge. The 4-star recruit accounted for 49 total touchdowns as a senior, according to The Times' Matt Vines (subscription required), and figures to be in the mix for a starting role in his second or third year on campus.
74. Ross Pierschbacher, OT, 6'4", 290 Lbs
27 of 101
Where Ross Pierschbacher is headed: Signed with Alabama
Pierschbacher, the top-ranked prospect in Iowa, is a prototypical bookend who is likely to line up at right tackle in Tuscaloosa. He is rated the country's sixth-best recruit at the position and will have time to get acclimated with SEC speed as a freshman reserve.
73. Kain Daub, ILB, 6'3", 234 Lbs
28 of 101
Where Kain Daub is headed: Enrolled at Florida State
Daub is an instinctive 4-star defender from Jacksonville who ranks fourth nationally among inside linebackers. Florida State has a crowded linebacker corps, but his abilities make it possible for him to crack the two-deep depth chart during his first year in Tallahassee.
72. Jerrod Heard, QB, 6'2.5", 190 Lbs
29 of 101
Where Jerrod Heard is headed: Signed with Texas
Heard, a 4-star recruit who committed to Texas as a sophomore, is the country's second-ranked dual-threat quarterback, and for good reason. He surpassed 2,000 yards rushing and passing in each of the past two seasons and may be the most talented Longhorns prospect at the position since Vince Young.
71. Jacob Pugh, OLB, 6'4", 221 Lbs
30 of 101
Where Jacob Pugh is headed: Signed with Florida State
Pugh, a 4-star Tallahassee product, will stay put in his hometown to play for the national champs. He is the nation's No. 6 outside linebacker prospect and has the pass-rushing skills to instantly help out the Seminoles front seven.
70. Ronnie Clark, OLB, 6'2.5", 215 Lbs
31 of 101
Where Ronnie Clark is headed: Signed with Alabama
Clark is capable of competing for a starting role in 2014 at various schools, but Alabama isn't one of them. The nation's fifth-ranked outside linebacker must work his way up through special teams while playing for his home-state squad.
69. Malkom Parrish, CB, 5'9", 186 Lbs
32 of 101
Where Malkom Parrish is headed: Signed with Georgia
The 4-star cornerback is rated America's No. 8 prospect at the position and instantly provides a presence in pass coverage at Georgia. He must prove himself against physical, tall receivers during practice before Georgia turns him loose against the SEC's best.
68. Artavis Scott, WR, 5'10", 175 Lbs
33 of 101
Where Artavis Scott is headed: Enrolled at Clemson
Scott, a 4-star standout from the Sunshine State, accounted for 18 offensive touchdowns in 2013, per MaxPreps. Listed as the nation's No. 8 receiver recruit, his ideal fit is in the slot. The Tigers lost top target Sammy Watkins to the NFL draft, so there are big shoes to fill.
67. Drake Harris, WR, 6'4", 180 Lbs
34 of 101
Where Drake Harris is headed: Enrolled at Michigan
Harris is the third-ranked recruit in Michigan and a pivotal pickup for the Wolverines. The 4-star receiver missed his entire senior season with a hamstring injury after a monster junior campaign in which he had more than 2,000 receiving yards. If he can quickly return to form during spring practice, expect to see Harris on the field as a freshman in Ann Arbor.
66. Erick Smith, S, 6'1", 185 Lbs
35 of 101
Where Erick Smith is headed: Signed with Ohio State
Smith, the nation's sixth-ranked safety, is at his best near the line of scrimmage. He drops the hammer in run support and patrols the flat with authority. He has special teams ace written all over him at Ohio State in 2014.
65. Travonte Valentine, DT, 6'3", 338 Lbs
36 of 101
Where Travonte Valentine is headed: Signed with LSU
Valentine, a 4-star recruit from the Miami area, decommitted from the Hurricanes in early January. The nation's third-ranked defensive tackle splits double-teams and is a key weapon in goal-line packages.
64. Derick Roberson, DE, 6'3.5", 235 Lbs
37 of 101
Where Derick Roberson is headed: Signed with Texas
Roberson was one of the most disruptive defenders in Texas last season, tallying 14 sacks en route to a title game appearance, per MaxPreps. The 4-star prospect is ranked fourth nationally among strong-side defensive ends and provides a crucial element in Charlie Strong's first Longhorns recruiting class.
63. Braden Smith, OG, 6'6", 290 Lbs
38 of 101
Where Braden Smith is headed: Signed with Auburn
Smith, the No. 1 prospect in Kansas, is arguably the strongest member of this class. The nation's third-ranked offensive guard earned first-team All-USA honors and bench presses nearly 500 pounds, per USA Today's Jim Halley. He is arguably the most explosive interior offensive lineman.
62. Quenton Nelson, OT, 6'5", 295 Lbs
39 of 101
Where Quenton Nelson is headed: Signed with Notre Dame
Nelson, the nation's fifth-ranked offensive tackle, is a polished product as a pass-blocker. His athleticism allows the 4-star prospect to pick up blitzes and gives him an opportunity to land on the two-deep depth chart early in his collegiate career.
61. Todd Kelly, S, 5'11.75", 188 Lbs
40 of 101
Where Todd Kelly is headed: Signed with Tennessee
The Volunteers added America's third-ranked safety and one of Tennessee's prized in-state recruits. Kelly, a 4-star defensive back, connects on his hits and provides the Vols with an intimidating, rangy newcomer in the backfield.
60. Jeff Jones, RB, 5'11", 196 Lbs
41 of 101
Where Jeff Jones is headed: Signed with Minnesota
Jones soared up recruiting rankings after a senior season that featured 42 offensive touchdowns. Although he is committed to stay in his home state to play for the Gophers, Florida, Iowa State, Tennessee and Michigan are still in the mix.
59. Curtis Samuel, ATH, 6'0", 185 Lbs
42 of 101
Where Curtis Samuel is headed: Enrolled at Ohio State
Samuel, a scintillating playmaker from Brooklyn, brings elite athleticism to cornerback, wide receiver and running back. Urban Meyer has plenty of options of how to implement New York's No. 1 prospect, who isn't likely to stay on the sideline as a freshman.
58. Jamarco Jones, OT, 6'5", 290 Lbs
43 of 101
Where Jamarco Jones is headed: Signed with Ohio State
Jones, a 4-star offensive tackle from Illinois, frustrates defenders with his wide frame and active footwork. The nation's fourth-ranked player at the position projects as Ohio State's left tackle of the future, though Michigan State remains in the hunt.
57. Nick Harvey, CB, 5'9", 175 Lbs
44 of 101
Where Nick Harvey is headed: Signed with Texas A&M
The nation's seventh-ranked cornerback seizes control of his opponent at the line of scrimmage and doesn't let up as a play progresses. The 4-star prospect plays bigger than his measurable dimensions and projects as an immediate special teams contributor in College Station.
56. Michiah Quick, ATH, 6'0", 170 Lbs
45 of 101
Where Michiah Quick is headed: Signed with Oklahoma
Quick commands national attention because of his overall pedigree as a playmaker on both sides of the ball. The 4-star prospect stands out as an athlete who warrants early playing time consideration at cornerback, receiver or kick returner in Norman.
55. Budda Baker, ATH, 5'9", 174 Lbs
46 of 101
Where Budda Baker is headed: Signed with Washington
Baker, the country's sixth-ranked athlete, backed off his pledge to Oregon in January. The Ducks' loss is Washington's gain. The Huskies reeled in its top in-state target and an instant-impact player.
54. Dante Booker, OLB, 6'3", 212 Lbs
47 of 101
Where Dante Booker is headed: Signed with Ohio State
Booker, rated the nation's fourth-ranked outside linebacker prospect, picked up honors as National Defensive Player of the Year at the Army All-American Bowl. The 4-star Ohio native projects as a multiyear starter in Columbus.
53. Nyles Morgan, ILB, 6'1", 225 Lbs
48 of 101
Where Nyles Morgan is headed: Signed with Notre Dame
Morgan is a machine at the heart of the defense, tallying 342 tackles since his sophomore season. The nation's third-ranked inside linebacker instantly adds some bite to Notre Dame's linebacker corps.
52. Marshon Lattimore, CB, 6'0", 175 Lbs
49 of 101
Where Marshon Lattimore is headed: Signed with Ohio State
Lattimore, lauded as Ohio's top prospect, picks apart opposing passing games with stride-for-stride coverage ability and a knack for getting his hands on the ball. The 4-star recruit was a must-have for Ohio State, so expect Urban Meyer to make room for him in the 2014 secondary rotation.
51. Keller Chryst, QB, 6'4", 220 Lbs
50 of 101
Where Keller Chryst is headed: Signed with Stanford
Chryst, rated America's third-best pro-style passer, played high school ball in Palo Alto, Calif., and he will stick around for his collegiate career. The 4-star prospect stands tall in the pocket, displays underrated mobility and could compete for the starting job as early as 2015.
50. Laurence Jones, S, 6'2", 220 Lbs
51 of 101
Where Laurence Jones is headed: Enrolled at Alabama
Jones, a 4-star Louisiana safety, chose Alabama over SEC rival LSU. He is the nation's fourth-ranked player at the position, but spots are at a premium atop the Crimson Tide's depth chart. The early departure of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix potentially creates an opportunity.
49. Davion Hall, ATH, 6'3", 186 Lbs
52 of 101
Where Davion Hall is headed: Enrolled at Baylor
Hall, the country's fifth-ranked athlete, is an explosive Texas speedster. It remains to be seen if the 4-star prospect will play receiver or defensive back at Baylor, but his dynamic skills command immediate attention for Art Briles and his staff.
48. Will Grier, QB, 6'3", 187 Lbs
53 of 101
Where Will Grier is headed: Enrolled at Florida
Grier garnered national attention for posting video game numbers throughout his high school career and capped it off with a 2013 season that featured more than 6,000 total yards and 90 touchdowns, per MaxPreps. The 4-star prospect is rated America's No. 2 pro-style quarterback and figures to compete for at least the main backup role at Florida next season, if not the starting job itself.
47. Roderick Taylor, OG, 6'3.5", 305 Lbs
54 of 101
Where Roderick Taylor is headed: Signed with Ole Miss
Taylor is the nation's second-ranked guard prospect and brings the thunder on every snap. The No. 1 recruit in Mississippi will have veteran Rebel linemen looking over their shoulders as soon as he arrives on campus.
46. Elijah Hood, RB, 5'11.5", 222 Lbs
55 of 101
Where Elijah Hood is headed: Enrolled at North Carolina
The 4-star Charlotte, N.C., recruit decommitted from Notre Dame in August to stay closer to home and play for UNC. Hood, the state's top-ranked player, rushed for 3,640 yards and 53 touchdowns as a senior, per The Charlotte Observer's Langston Wertz Jr. It won't take long for him to become a focal point of the Tar Heels' attack.
45. Kc McDermott, OT, 6'6", 300 Lbs
56 of 101
Where Kc McDermott is headed: Enrolled at Miami
The mammoth 4-star prospect from Florida is ranked third nationally among offensive tackles. He is the third brother in his family to play Division I football and should avoid a redshirt at Miami since the team has an immediate need to upgrade depth at the position.
44. Joseph Yearby, RB, 5'9", 190 Lbs
57 of 101
Where Joseph Yearby is headed: Enrolled at Miami
Yearby, a 4-star prospect out of Florida state champion Miami Central, lost the final stretch of his senior season with a fractured fibula. His initial role in the Hurricanes backfield remains a mystery, as starting running back Duke Johnson is also working his way back from an injury and will miss spring practice.
43. Travis Rudolph, WR, 6'1", 185 Lbs
58 of 101
Where Travis Rudolph is headed: Signed with Florida State
Rudolph, ranked sixth among national wide receiver prospects, picks up speed quickly and feasts on crossing patterns. A strong opening camp could make the 4-star recruit a favorite target for Jameis Winston, who lost top playmaker Kelvin Benjamin to the NFL draft.
42. Edward Paris, S, 6'1", 190 Lbs
59 of 101
Where Edward Paris is headed: Signed with LSU
The 4-star Texas native brings his versatility to Baton Rouge, where he fits right in with a lineage of elite SEC standout safeties. Paris, a true ball hawk, picked off 20 passes as a four-year starter in high school and will be in the mix as Les Miles sorts out his secondary depth.
41. Deshaun Watson, QB, 6'3", 200 Lbs
60 of 101
Where Deshaun Watson is headed: Enrolled at Clemson
Watson, rated the nation's No. 1 dual-threat quarterback, set the all-time career passing yardage record in Georgia as a junior. The 4-star prospect has a tremendous opportunity at Clemson, where he will compete to replace departed senior standout Tajh Boyd.
40. Jalen Hurd, ATH, 6'3", 230 Lbs
61 of 101
Where Jalen Hurd is headed: Enrolled at Tennessee
The country's fourth-ranked athlete lost his entire senior season after suffering a shoulder injury in the 2013 opener. Hurd, a 4-star recruit who is a unique playmaker because of his length, will make a difference in Knoxville as a receiver and rusher.
39. Christian Miller, OLB, 6'4", 222 Lbs
62 of 101
Where Christian Miller is headed: Signed with Alabama
Miller is a tall outside linebacker who is rated as the top prospect in South Carolina. He finished his senior season with an astonishing 188 tackles and 24 sacks. Alabama already features several tremendous athletes in the front seven, so we may not see much of Miller as a freshman, who could use the season to add bulk.
38. Damien Mama, OG, 6'4", 370 Lbs
63 of 101
Where Damien Mama is headed: Signed with USC
Mama, a 4-star recruit, is a motivated run-blocker who helped deliver a California state tile to St. John Bosco. The nation's top-ranked guard must hit another level of physical fitness to reach his potential, but that will come quickly with work on campus this summer.
37. Royce Freeman, RB, 5'11.5", 215 Lbs
64 of 101
Where Royce Freeman is headed: Signed with Oregon
The dynamic 4-star playmaker set a new San Diego-area career rushing record during his senior season at Imperial High School, finishing his career with 7,601 rushing yards, per UT San Diego's John Maffei. Freeman, ranked sixth nationally among running back recruits, provides the Ducks with a new dimension of physicality and could quickly carve out a role after De'Anthony Thomas' early exit.
36. Josh Malone, WR, 6'2.25", 191 Lbs
65 of 101
Where Josh Malone is headed: Enrolled at Tennessee
Malone made the nation take notice with a breakout senior season that included 1,404 receiving yards and 22 offensive touchdowns. The top-ranked talent in Tennessee was a big target for the Vols, and he may ascend to a starting position by September.
35. Damon Webb, CB, 5'11", 180 Lbs
66 of 101
Where Damon Webb is headed: Signed with Ohio State
Webb, the No. 2 overall prospect in Michigan, headlines a tremendous class of defensive backs for the Buckeyes. He picked off 15 passes in the past two seasons. It's not far-fetched to think Webb would be in a position to open the season as Ohio State's nickelback.
34. Gerald Willis, DT, 6'3", 275 Lbs
67 of 101
Where Gerald Willis is headed: Signed with Florida
Willis, a 4-star New Orleans standout, is the nation's second-ranked defensive tackle. He's a one-man wrecking crew who dismantles opposing offensive attacks with a balanced skill set. Florida has claimed quite a recruiting haul along the defensive line, and Willis is the best of the bunch.
33. Nick Chubb, RB, 5'11", 216 Lbs
68 of 101
Where Nick Chubb is headed: Signed with Georgia
Chubb is considered the country's fifth-best running back prospect, and he picked up more than 2,700 rushing yards as a senior. The 5-star prospect opted to stay in his home state with a pledge to the Bulldogs. He has an opportunity to earn an expanded role during the course of his first season in Athens.
32. Malik McDowell, DE, 6'7", 290 Lbs
69 of 101
Where Malik McDowell is headed: Committed to Michigan State
McDowell is a mammoth force at strong-side defensive end, where he is ranked third nationally at the position. His physical stature and playmaking abilities (89 tackles in 2013) set the stage for an early role in East Lansing.
31. Jamal Adams, S, 6'0", 199 Lbs
70 of 101
Where Jamal Adams is headed: Signed with LSU
The 5-star Texas prospect pinches off routes and demands attention when he lines up in the box. Adams, rated America's No. 2 safety recruit, is a threat to score when he gets his hands on the ball and may draw interest as a return man with the Tigers.
30. KD Cannon, WR, 6'0", 162 Lbs
71 of 101
Where KD Cannon is headed: Signed with Baylor
The shifty Texan tops Baylor's incoming class and is regarded as the fourth-best receiver nationally. Cannon caught 42 touchdowns over the past two seasons and improves an already high-octane offensive attack.
29. Tre' Williams, ILB, 6'3", 237 Lbs
72 of 101
Where Tre' Williams is headed: Signed with Auburn
Williams, the second-ranked inside linebacker in this class, collects tackles in bunches. The 5-star prospect tallied at least 110 tackles in each of the past two seasons and projects as a valuable rotational linebacker next year for the defending SEC champions.
28. Clifton Garrett, OLB, 6'2", 228 Lbs
73 of 101
Where Clifton Garrett is headed: Signed with LSU
The country's second-ranked outside linebacker prospect excels in every facet of the position, including intermediate pass coverage. Garrett totaled 139 tackles in 2013 and will get a long look from Les Miles when he assembles his two-deep depth chart in August.
27. Damian Prince, OT, 6'5", 295 Lbs
74 of 101
Where Damian Prince is headed: Signed with Maryand
The 5-star prospect is Maryland's consensus top recruit and ranks second nationally among offensive tackles. He was a first-team All-USA selection and will likely vie for a starting role next season.
26. Chad Thomas, DE, 6'5", 240 Lbs
75 of 101
