National Signing Day 2011: The Best Recruits Left from ESPN's Top 150

College Football recruiting for the 2011 season is coming into its final three weeks and ESPN has just released its final ESPN 150 for the 2011 class.

There are 25 players that have yet to declare and decide on what school they will attend in the fall.

With signing day only a couple weeks away, these college football coaches have their work cut out for them. They are going to have to make their final sales pitch and hope that these athletes choose to wear their colors come fall.

Three of the top four prospects have yet to sign. This list includes number one overall prospect, Jadeveon Clowney, top RB prospect Isaiah Crowell and top OT prospect Cyrus Kouandjio.

Class of 2011 members can officially start signing a National Letter of Intent starting February 2, 2011.

Coaches and fanbases all across the country are eager and excited to see if these top players decide to come to their school.

But, before I list the actual players that have yet to make their decisions, here is an updated look at ESPN's top 15 class ranking. Updated, January 21.

1. Florida State

2. Texas

3. Alabama

4. USC

5. Florida

6. Oklahoma

7. Ohio State

8. LSU

9. Auburn

10. Notre Dame

11. Georgia

15. California

149. Spencer Region, OG

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Cullman, AL (Cullman)

Vitals: 6'5", 339 lbs

Position Rank: 9

Grade: 80, 4-star

Considering: LSU, Wisconsin, Auburn, Georgia, Louisville

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Region is a big man with dominant playing strength, possessing great size for the offensive guard position at the major level of competition. Shows good flexibility in a three point stance; has an explosive quick first step which allows him to fit into defenders; is sudden and strong, knocking them off the line of scrimmage.

Plays with a flat back and good pad level; brings his hips with good base and leg drive. Displays the athleticism necessary to pull and trap, flashing long trap potential and definitely short trap skill; can play on his feet in space with the necessary balance to block linebackers.

Does a great job in goal line situations, coming off the ball low and hard; gets good movement in these situations. This player demonstrates his ability to handle the run blocks necessary for the guard spot at the next level. In pass protection does a nice job short setting when covered; can play stout vs. the bull rush with a good solid punch.

Shows he can bend, slide and play flat footed in the guard box area; may not have enough extended quickness to pop out and help with outside speed rushers. Once this guy gets his hands on a pass rusher in a reduced area it's over.

We like his aggressive, dominant attitude towards finishing assignments which quite often lead to pancake blocks. Region has the size, mobility and playing strength to become a dominant player. It is possible he could step in and begin to see valuable playing time immediately. Regardless this player should have a long and productive career

148. Javorious Allen, RB

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Tallahassee, FL (Lincoln)

Vitals: 6'1'', 205 lbs

Position Rank: 12

Grade: 80, 4-star

Considering: Auburn, Alabama, Florida State, Miami, USC

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

This is a bigger back in the mold of another back in the class Kenny Hilliard. Strong, physical and the type of back that can last five quarters, not four. Allen is a big, imposing slasher who is high cut with long legs and a smooth stride

Evaluation, from Scout.com's Scott Kennedy:

Allen is a good sized back whose best attributes involve the passing game. While he's a good runner, he's not overly big and strong, fast, or elusive, but he has outstanding hands out of the backfield. He acts as a personal protector for his quarterback; at times taking on 260+ pound defensive ends and stopping them cold. Not a typical 25 carry a game back, but a very good back to supplement the passing game.

134. Marlin Lane, RB

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Daytona Beach, FL (Mainland)

Vitals: 6'0'', 200 lbs

Position Rank: 11

Grade: 80, 4-star

Considering: Clemson, Miami (FL), Florida State, Auburn, Tennessee

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Lane is very good college running back prospect with a coveted size to speed ratio and overall very impressive physical tools to develop. Has a taller, well-built frame that looks like it could still fill out to the 220-pound range. Physically imposing running back

Evaluation, from Scout.com's Scott Kennedy:

Battling back from a knee injury as a junior, Lane has yet to regain the trademark burst that made him so dynamic as a sophomore. He has split carries in the backfield as a senior and seen a lot of time at slot receiver. He has good size and has learned to run with more power as he's rehabbing not just physically but mentally from his injury. Not quite where he was earlier in his career, but room to grow.

129. Zachary Witchett, ATH

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Atlanta, GA (Washington-Wilkes)

Vitals: 6'0'', 182 lbs

Position Rank: 20

Grade: 80, 4-star

Considering: West Virginia, Maryland, Minnesota, South Carolina, Toledo

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Witchett is definitely a prospect that is flying under the radar as a speedy and athletic playmaker on offense as well as a defensive safety. He has good size, a muscular build and terrific acceleration and speed to make big plays.

Evaluation, from Scout.com's Chad Simmons:

Witchett is going to be a vertical threat on the next level. He is explosive off the ball, he gets to top speed quickly, and he has very good body control when he finds the ball in the air. He still needs to work on running smooth routes and catching the ball consistently away from his body, but he has the size, speed, and ability to be a playmaker in college.

122. Dominique Terell, ATH

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Manassas, VA (Osbourn Senior)

Vitals: 5'11'', 175 lbs

Position Rank: 19

Grade: 80, 4-star

Considering: West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami (FL), LSU, Texas Tech

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Terrell is not going to be a quarterback at the next level, but for the sake of the overall success of the team you definitely want each play to start with the ball in his hands and good things are going to happen.

Evaluation, from Scout.com's Scott Kennedy:

A quarterback for his Osbourn Park team, Terrell plays what amounts to a permanent wildcat position as he's looking to run on nearly every play. Quicker than fast, Terrell has an outstanding change of direction and shows surprising toughness, willing to blast between the tackles despite being defensive back size. He has excellent vision with the ball in his hands making him a candidate for punt returner / slot receiver

121. Michey Johnson, DT

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Covington, LA (Saint Paul's School)

Vitals: 6'1'', 305 lbs

Position Rank: 11

Grade: 80, 4-star

Considering: Arkansas, LSU, Tennessee

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Johnson is a squatty and thickly built defensive tackle who can be a disruptive presence in the trenches. He does not have great height, but does have good bulk at about 300 pounds and carries it well

Evaluation, from Scout.com:

Johnson is as strong as they come and he is very good at using his strength along with good leverage to be a nightmare for the opposition. He is very explosive when he stays low and gets off the line quickly with a good anticipation of the snap. Johnson’s height may limit him some in defenses that use pure three-tech guys but he is an ideal fit for those that employ nose guards

111. Christian Heyward, DT

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): San Diego, CA (Point Loma)

Vitals: 6'2'', 275 lbs

Position Rank: 9

Grade: 81, 4-star

Considering: UCLA, Oregon, USC, San Diego State, Oregon State

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Heyward is a good looking defensive line prospect. He moves around the line in high school playing inside and out as well as from a "two"-point stance at times and could likely fill a swing role in college as well.

105. Antonio Richardson, OT

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Nashville, TN (Pearl-Cohn)

Vitals: 6'6'', 310 lbs

Position Rank: 8

Grade: 81, 4-star

Considering: Tennessee, LSU, Auburn, Miami (FL), Arkansas

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Not only does Richardson have very good explosion and playing strength but also the athleticism to dominate defenders in the open field. Has the size for the offensive tackle position at the major level of competition.

This is a flexible player who comes off the ball with a flat back and good fit; is able to get movement off the line of scrimmage due to his ability to roll the hips and bring his feet while playing with a wide base.

Possesses the foot quickness and balance necessary to block quick 1st and 2nd level defenders; can gain leverage on shaded down lineman; does a nice job chipping to linebackers.

His ability to play on his feet in space creating mismatches. Has the initial quickness and body control to get out in front when pulling; is able to seal inside and locate second level defenders.

This player runs well and is productive as a downfield blocker. Demonstrates good quick set skills; can bend, slide and play flat footed; is capable of establishing the deep set point. His long arms and quick hands serve him well; flashes dominant initial punch and location while using his arm length to keep rushers off his body.

This is a tough, aggressive guy who has the athleticism and playing strength to handle all the run blocks at the next level of play while becoming a dominant player due to his aggressive attitude when finishing blocks. Richardson may not be an immediate starter however he could see early playing time if a red shirt year is not deemed necessary or an unforeseen situation occurs.

98. Darius Jennings, ATH

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Baltimore, MD (Gilman School)

Vitals: 5'11'', 175 lbs

Position Rank: 15

Grade: 81, 4-star

Considering: Ohio State, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Virginia, UCLA

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Jennings is an exciting, versatile athlete that could line up at just about every skill position at the next level and be a guy that you need to be aware of. He is a lean, fluid athlete with adequate height and he makes a ton of plays on offense.

Evaluation, from Scout.com's Scott Kennedy:

A short strider with quick feet, Jennings has a tremendous burst in short spaces. Running from a wildcat quarterback position, Jennings shows excellent vision to pop into and out of holes in tight spaces making him an asset between the tackles despite his size. An adequate thrower, but not really a passer at quarterback. A quick hip turn would make him a good prospect at cornerback as well.

96. Marqise Lee, ATH

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Gardena, CA (Junipero Serra)

Vitals: 6'1'', 190 lbs

Position Rank: 14

Grade: 81, 4-star

Considering: USC, California, Oregon, Florida, Miami (FL)

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Lee is a talented, natural athlete with very good upside at the safety position. Relatively new to the game of football but has quickly emerged into top-level defender. Has nice size with his good height and well-built frame; rangy and still has some room left to physically develop

Evaluation, from Scout.com's Scott Kennedy:

A big play threat on either side of the ball, Lee is a much more natural defensive back than receiver. He plays a lot close to the line of scrimmage and is an aggressive, yet sure tackler. He has good hands and is outstanding at breaking on the ball. He has a good frame to continue to add muscle weight, and his height and long arms coupled with his ball skills let him beat receivers to jump balls and high passes.

94. Brandon Fulse, TE

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Fort Meade, FL (Fort Meade Senior)

Vitals: 6'4'', 250 lbs

Position Rank: 5

Grade: 81, 4-star

Considering: Auburn, Alabama, Texas Tech, Tennessee

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Fulse can be a load at the tight end position. He has good size both in height and bulk for the position and displays the ability to be a well rounded tight end. He is a strong in-line blocker. He does a good job of getting hand placement.

63. Curt Maggitt, OLB

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Palm Gardens, FL (Dwyer)

Vitals: 6'3'', 194 lbs

Position Rank: 3

Grade: 81, 4-star

Considering: Florida, Wisconsin, Tennessee, LSU, Alabama

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Maggitt is a defensive jaguar as he is a lean and fast predator on the football field. The kid can move and that is what grabs your attention. From the word go the kid can be a defensive speed demon. He has one of the quickest get-offs in this class and at times shows arguably the best initial quickness in this class.

The kid's game is built on his speed. He gets low in his stance in almost a "four" point stance at times and seems to know what his strength is and he is looking to defeat you with it. He has marginal size as far as bulk at this point. He reminds us some of 2006 defensive end prospect and former Florida Gator Jermaine Cunningham. Cunningham was quick and disruptive despite being undersized and was able to make the transition to end in college.

Maggitt though with good height and the frame to add more needed bulk seems to lack even the muscular wiry build that Cunningham had at this point. To stay at end fulltime, Maggitt will need to add serious bulk and a career at outside linebacker in either a 3 or 4 man front is also a strong possibility. While size is a concern, his quickness allows him to be a disruptive force.

He can get immediate penetration and disrupt plays before they get started. Despite being undersized he can actually do a solid job of holding his ground against the down block because he gets low and stays low and can beat blockers to the point of attack.

He needs to work to bring his hands and use them more. His speed is a weapon, but he will need to add the use of his hands to his arsenal and you worry some about his ability to hold up against bigger blockers when teams choose to run at him especially if he does not use his hands. He is a concern from the backside and someone you need to account for on offense as he can run down plays.

52. Erique Florence, S

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Valley, AL (Valley)

Vitals: 6'2'', 185 lbs

Position Rank: 4

Grade: 81, 4-star

Considering: Auburn, Alabama, USC Trojans

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Florence has prototypical strong safety measurables as well as demeanor. This kid is a hitter and one of the more tough and physical safeties in 2011. Tall, high-cut with great length and a well-built frame that still has the room to add considerable bulk.

Most production on film comes down in the box as a run supporter. A great force player. Flashes great range and closing burst tracking down ball carriers running the alley and is very stout at the point of attack. Jumps on the screen when pursuing.

A very solid force player who keeps proper leverage on the ball. Gets over the trash well without creating cutback lanes. Takes sharp, direct angles with little wasted motion to the ball and runs through as a tackler showing great explosiveness and pop from his hips.

Not only does he limit second efforts, he is a collision type of tackler who creates a lot of turnovers. However, he does appear a bit straight-lined at times and is much better attacking vertically than laterally. Has some stiffness.

Weaker area would be his change-of-direction skill and lack of great transitional quickness. Would like to see a more fluid, tighter pedal and improved diagnosing skills. Main question mark may be his ability to open and turn in coverage and match up versus quicker slots if positioned down in man coverage.

He does flash good deep range off the hash and ball skills; could develop into a good hash player but feel a 4-4 scheme where he is positioned down in the may best exploit his best physical tools. Very good football player.

46. Curtis Grant, ILB

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Richard, VA (Hermitage)

Vitals: 6'3'', 220 lbs

Position Rank: 3

Grade: 81, 4-star

Considering: Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio State, Michigan

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Grant possesses the excellent athleticism necessary to get to the football vs. both the run and pass. His size is what we like to see for the outside linebacker position at the major level of competition.

This is a very flexible, smooth athlete; is more productive when pursuing laterally, although will take on blockers vs. the inside run; works at being a physical player with some success but must improve his ability to hand shiver and shed in 1 on 1 situations.

Is aggressive and tough, flashing downhill and stacking skill against the inside run but an overall better and more productive guy when able to avoid blockers and work laterally; demonstrates the agility and balance to work through traffic with excellent playing speed and pursuit habits; displays solid wrap tackling skill with an explosive finishing burst.

In pass coverage we like his hips, showing back peddle and smooth cross over ability. This player is fluid in space; gets his eyes on the QB with good underneath route recognition and break on the thrown ball. This is an area where we see a great deal of promise as his career unfolds.

His athleticism should be of great benefit as a coverage defender. Flashes good pass blitz timing with inside power rush toughness. Because of his positive playing speed special teams should allow him to make productive contributions early on.

This is a guy with a very good motor who consistently works at getting to the football. Grant's athleticism could propel him into early playing time along with work on special teams while his playing strength improves

34. Cyrus Hobbi, OG

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Scottsdale, AZ (Saguaro)

Vitals: 6'4'', 285 lbs

Position Rank: 1

Grade: 82, 4-star

Considering: Arizona State, USC, UCLA, Nebraska, Oregon State

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Hobbi is a tough guy with the explosion and playing strength to dominate as both a run and pass blocker. Has the size for the offensive guard position at the major level of competition.

Plays out of a two point stance but this doesn't affect his ability as a run blocker; is explosive coming off the ball with good fit and pad level; displays good foot agility and balance, rolls his hips and is able to maintain contact with good base and leg drive; can get movement off the line of scrimmage immediately.

His initial quickness allows him to gain leverage on shaded down linemen; is a very good 2nd level blocker, runs well and gives excellent effort downfield. Is quick out of his stance when asked to pull and trap; shows the ability to adjust in space with good explosion at the point of attack.

Shows very good technical ability in pass protection at this stage of his development; demonstrates good quick set skill; his initial punch can be devastating; possesses good arm length which he puts to use. This player works to keep his hands inside the frame with the extension to keep his body clean.

We like this prospects approach to the game; his aggressive, tough finishing attitude allows him to dominate defenders. Hobbi is a two for one player with the capability of filling in at offensive tackle if necessary. Maybe not an immediate starter but could possibly see early playing time if a red shirt year is not deemed necessary

32. Stephone Anthony, OLB

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Wadesboro, NC (Anson Senior)

Vitals: 6'2'', 220 lbs

Position Rank: 1

Grade: 82, 4-star

Considering: Florida, Clemson, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State, North Carolina

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Anthony is a turnover machine with his tremendous versatility and ball hawking skills. Possesses the size and great athleticism we like to see for the outside linebacker position at the major level of competition.

As a running back he shows strong downhill toughness, running over his pads with the ability to break tackles. Shows excellent flexibility, balance and quickness from the 4-3 alignment; is quick to K&D with instincts which immediately get him to the football vs. both the run and pass.

Displays the ability to play the run from a walk off alignment or as an inside backer; can play downhill vs. the inside run; capable of taking on and defeating blockers at the point of attack with good stack ability. Is quick to the edge; can avoid and beat blockers; works through traffic very well with excellent pursuit habits and closing burst.

This is an advanced coverage player; can crossover into short / medium zones with eyes on the QB and good route awareness. Is disciplined, demonstrating very good break on the ball with excellent hands; has many interceptions.

Can line up on the L.O.S. with the skill to take on and defeat blockers; can keep contain while showing very good blitz quickness and timing off the edge; has a very good closing burst to the QB. We see very good wrap tackling skills, especially in space with some one arm potential, illustrating his upper body playing strength.

This guy is a full time, every down player with the potential to make big, game changing plays from a variety of defensive alignments; his playing speed and pursuit habits are excellent.

28. Savon Huggins, RB

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Jersey City, NJ (Saint Peter's)

Vitals: 5'11'', 195 lbs

Position Rank: 4

Grade: 82, 4-star

Considering: Rutgers, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Auburn, Michigan State

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Huggins grows on you the more you watch and see his every-down running back potential at the next level. He has a good sized frame with the room to add significant bulk through his hip-base and lower-body.

Attacks the hole and gets North-South quickly. Doesn't waste a lot of time finding the cutback, planting and accelerating downhill with very good burst through the second level.

Reaches top-speed quickly for a bigger back but has the great feet and natural vision to still jump-cut, sidestep and simply juke defenders through the hole. Runs hard with good determination and downhill strength. Finishes the run, spins and bounces off a lot first contact.

The type of back who looks to get stronger with carries. Has good top-end and long speed in the second level and can pull away with his impressive stride. Our main concern would be his upright running style at times.

Would like to see him run more behind his pads for increased power and to enhance durability in a high carry role at the next level. More effective in downhill power-running schemes than as an outside zone runner or perimeter back.

Flashes great feet and agility to make defenders miss through the hole but does show he can gear down at times when trying to cut at full speed. Will need to continue adding bulk and lower-body power to remain productive in that type of role in college but he appears to be a feisty competitor who will put forth the effort in the weight room.

26. Gabe Wright, DT

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Columbus, GA (Carver)

Vitals: 6'3'', 285 lbs

Position Rank: 3

Grade: 82, 4-star

Considering: Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, Tennessee, Georgia

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Wright is a defender who is capable of being a menace in the trenches. He has good size with the frame to add more bulk and he also brings some versatility to the table. He could fit as a defensive tackle / "three"-technique in a 4-3 defense.

Evaluation, from Scout.com's Chad Simmons:

Wright needs to play with better pad level and work on the use of his hands. If his hands are more active and he shows better punch, then he will be able to disengage better. He has the physical tools and athleticism to be an elite 2011 defensive tackle. He is quick enough to be a big defensive end in high school, but he is an interior guy on the next level. He still has a lot of room to improve with a lot of potential.

20. Nick O'Leary, TE

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Palm Beach Gardens, FL (Dwyer)

Vitals: 6'4'', 230 lbs

Position Rank: 2

Grade: 83, 4-star

Considering: Florida State, Miami (FL), Alabama, LSU

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

O'Leary may initially peak some people's interest because of who his grandfather is, but when you watch him play you see this kid can create a buzz all on his own. He has good size and the frame to be able to add even more good bulk in time.

His main position is tight end, but he displays his overall athleticism by filling many roles on his high school team including handling the punting and holding duties. While you like his versatility, it is his ability to be a productive well rounded tight end that interests you.

He can be a productive part of the passing game. He has good hands and is able to extend his arms to make the catch away from his body. He also displays good concentration and can make the tough catch. He has good speed and can present a threat to stretch the field.

He also runs good routes and can create some separation with that. He is a physical kid with the tools to be a good in-line blocker. He seems to enjoy and almost thrive on contact and can deliver a good initial pop. When he gets hands on and keeps his hips under him he can create some push.

He does need to work on his stance and stay under control. He will get on his toes and will get top heavy coming out of his stance as a result. He also needs to work on hand placement and creating leverage with it.

He is a sound pass blocker who has the feet to mirror a defender and will use his hands to punch. O'Leary is strongest now as a receiver. He has the size and toughness though with some work to be able to stay on the field in any situation and contribute as a blocker in the run and pass game.

His ability and upside as a tight end make him a good prospect and his ability to fill some other roles just adds to his value.

17. Tim Jernigan, DT

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Lake City, FL (Columbia)

Vitals: 6'2'', 275 lbs

Position Rank: 2

Grade: 84, 4-star

Considering: Florida State, Alabama, LSU, Michigan, Florida

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Jernigan can present a forceful presence in the trenches. He does not look like your typical defensive tackle as on film he resembles that of a swollen linebacker.

He does not have measureables that on paper will blow you away, but he does come across as a thickly built and well put together kid and while you would like to see him add some more weight, overall size does not seem a concern. He is an active defender who can be like a tornado at times.

He has a good get-off though you would like to see him be more consistently quick, but he is a kid capable of getting some penetration. He is very active and violent with his hands. He consistently brings them and can create separation and shed.

He needs to watch his pad level and stay low as he can get high and be pushed off the ball at times. He can be a bit of a risk taker at times who will look to execute a quick move and blow by blockers. That will result in disruption and chaos at times, but can also leave him in some vulnerable positions and lead to him getting caught up in the wash and pushed off the ball at times.

He has a great motor and moves well. Will pursue to the ball on the perimeter and takes good angles. He does a good job of being able to come across the ball, redirect, and get flat down the line and pursue to the ball.

He is a good tackler who can really lay a lick. As a pass rusher he can be disruptive because he will use his weapons. It is not uncommon to see him execute a nice club move and quickly get his hips flipped to get skinny and work past.

Jernigan will take some chances and can get caught out of position, but overall the kid is a disruptive force. A good looking and productive defensive tackle prospect who can make some plays

13. Ray Drew, DE

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Thomasville, GA (Thomas County Central)

Vitals: 6'5'', 253 lbs

Position Rank: 2

Grade: 85, 5-star

Considering: Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Clemson, Tennessee

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

There is plenty to like about Drew as this kid is a talented and disruptive defender who still possesses a frightening amount of upside. He has great size and displays a nice wingspan. Despite already being in that 250 pound range he still has plenty of room to pack on more good bulk with time in a college weight program.

He can be quick off the ball, but does need to be more consistent. He will flash real good quickness at times, but can be a beat late at other times in getting off on the ball. While he needs to fine tune his get-off one thing is certain when he does get moving he can cause serious problems. He moves much better then a person of his size should.

He has very good speed and can be a factor from the backside and downfield. He also flashes the ability to utilize good angles in pursuit. While he is athletic he displays the ability to play smart. He is not out there just trying to out-athlete everyone and does not just run around wildly. He comes across the line and stays square.

Does a solid job of squeezing down and closing daylight and locates the ball well. He moves well laterally and has good reactive athleticism and once he locates the ball he can redirect and close. He is a good wrap-up tackler. While his athleticism is impressive he is also a physical and stout player when taking on blocks.

Despite his long frame does a good job of coming out of his stance and keeping solid pad level and being able to generate power from his lower body when engaging a blocker. He is able to take on a block and hold his ground.

Displays good raw strength, but one area of his game that needs to improve is in the use of his hands. He has a great reach but needs to utilize it more. He will get hands on, but needs to work on creating better separation so he can more easily and quickly disengage.

He has the tools to be a menace as a pass rusher. He flashes the ability to attack the outside shoulder, sink in a rip move, and turn the corner. He moves so quickly that he can make tackles pay if they open up too quickly.

Has the power and can generate the leverage to bull rush his way back. Needs to keep developing his pass rush arsenal and working on being violent and consistently active with his weapons. Drew is a fun kid to watch and has the tools to be a hell of a college football player. Has some areas to still improve in which is kind of scary.

9. Tony Steward, ILB

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): St. Augustine, FL (Pedro Mendendez)

Vitals: 6'1'', 225 lbs

Position Rank: 1

Grade: 85, 5-star

Considering: Florida State, Clemson, UCLA, Florida, Auburn

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Steward is a dominant player displaying excellent athleticism and playing speed. Has the size we like to see for the outside linebacker position at the major level of competition.

This a very flexible athlete who exhibit the quickness, burst and balance necessary to be effective from any spot on the field vs. both the run and pass; shows the K&D skills and instincts which allow him to continually get to the football, on plays both to or away.

Possesses the upper body playing strength to defeat blockers however his speed allows him to beat blockers through gaps or avoid contact to make plays. Does a nice job maintaining leverage on run plays away; very seldom overruns the ball.

Demonstrates agility and balance working through traffic; does a great job changing direction or in long pursuit. We like his run and pass blitz timing; is effective getting into the backfield to apply pressure on the ball; can create havoc in the backfield.

Shows very good pass coverage potential; his movement is fluid getting depth into short / medium zones; displays good route recognition with excellent plant and break on the ball. His ball skills are good.

We see a dominant tackler with excellent closing quickness to the ball; can and will punish ball carriers when given the opportunity. This player has quite a few game changing plays caused by turnovers which lead to scores.

In short this is a big play guy. Steward's athleticism and big play ability make him an excellent candidate for early playing time. How fast he adjusts to the speed of major college football will be the determining factor.

4. Isaiah Crowell, RB

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Columbus, GA (Carver)

Vitals: 5'11'', 210 lbs

Position Rank: 1

Grade: 86, 5-star

Considering: Alabama, Auburn, Georgia

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Crowell is simply an explosive package at the running back position. Looks a tad smaller than his listed measurables but this guy is very well-built and compact. Built low to the ground and deceptively a very powerful back.

Hits the hole fast just as the creases open and reaches top-speed almost instantly. Displays excellent foot-quickness and suddenness through traffic and is very difficult to get a clean shot on. Runs with his eyes, makes the sharp cutback through the small creases and rarely gears down when changing direction.

An ideal zone runner with great pick and slide ability. Can beat defenses with great lateral quickness and burst to the outside as well and shows he can accelerate with a great second gear and pull away from closing defenders with an angle.

What puts him in an elite class is his strength, power, ability to run between the tackles and earn tough yards after contact for a speed guy. His explosive momentum through the hole coupled with his great balance, strong core and lower body allows him to absorb the hit and bounce off a lot of initial contact.

Cuts on a dime and changes direction sharply in the open field giving him big play ability when he gets in space or breaks through to the second level. Flashes good hands and receiving skills out of the backfield and in the screen game but will need to continue polishing up in that area as well in blitz pickup and as an overall blocker.

Like to see a bit larger frame to build up but he's close to being maxed out physically and overall as a back; not a high upside guy. That said, Crowell has excellent natural ability as runner and should develop into a highly productive every-down back early in his career.

3. Cyrus Kouandjio, OT

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Hyattsville, MD (DeMatha Catholic)

Vitals: 6'7'', 325 lbs

Position Rank: 1

Grade: 87, 5-star

Considering: Alabama, Iowa, Auburn, New Mexico

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Kouandjio is a dominant run blocker with excellent athleticism that is very rare at his size coming out of high school. This guy runs very well for a big man. His over all size is what we like to see for the tackle position at the major level of competition.

Displays very good flexibility in a three point stance; comes off the ball with good initial quickness and explosion; gets a good fit with a flat back and good pad level; rolls his hips with good base and leg drive; has the playing strength to knock defenders off the line of scrimmage; his athletic ability and balance allow him to maintain contact when he moving defenders into space.

Demonstrates the skill to gain leverage on shaded down linemen and shows the foot speed and balance to block 2nd level defenders. At this stage of his career this player shows the ability to make all the necessary run blocks at the next level.

We like his tough, dominant finishing attitude. In pass protection his athleticism and arm length are a big plus. His initial quick set move is good; can bend, slide his feet and play flat footed to the deep set point; shows quick hands and extension; reacts to edge rushers, keeping them off the QB; does a good job taking on the bull rush.

This prospect shows a bit of a mean streak and will punish defenders when the opportunity presents itself. If Kouandjio continues to develop and improve throughout his senior year, we feel he will have the size, athleticism, explosion and playing strength to step in and become an immediate starter at the major level of competition. Great college prospect.

1. Jadeveon Clowney, DE

Recruit Information

Hometown (High School): Rock Hill, SC (South Pointe)

Vitals: 6'6'', 240 lbs

Position Rank: 1

Grade: 95, 5-star

Considering: South Carolina, Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State, LSU

Evaluation, from ESPN.com:

Right off the bat Clowney grabs your attention with a very impressive physical presence. In that 6-foot-6 range he carries his weight well and for a kid at about 230 pounds he has room to pack on a significant amount of bulk as he continues to physically develop.

He possesses a nice wingspan and has a very physical nature to him and displays good strength. He looks to enjoy contact and will deliver some big hits. As a pass rusher he is tough to contain as he uses his long limbs and hands to club and punch by blockers.

He also can be very quick off the ball. He plays with a good motor and will pursue to the ball. He also possesses excellent straight-line game speed which allows him to be a factor on plays all over the field and has good overall athleticism.

He is still young and growing as a player. He needs to watch his pad level as he can play tall. He is physical when engaging blockers, but needs to use his hands and reach more to his advantage to create separation and shed against the run.

He also needs to work on his tackling. He can deliver big blows and slam ball carriers to the turf, but needs to work on wrapping up at times to secure more tackles. It is clear this is a good defender and a kid worthy of the attention he is getting.

He also displays versatility and is able to make plays on defense, offense, and special teams, though the majority of his time in college will be spent at defensive end.

He needs to keep working on some of the 'little things' that the position requires, but he is a kid capable of creating big plays and being a difference maker. His nickname is simply "JD", but 'Big Play J' may be a more suitable one.
