College Football Recruiting: Report Cards for the Class of 2011's Top 100

The Class of 2011 had some very talented players in it and looks to be another class that will advance the game of college football. Some players are on track to redshirt or have suffered injuries while others are still grasping the playbook.

Then there are the players who have impacted their rosters.

Then there are the players who are starting as true freshmen.

I'm handing out report grades so far for the top 100 players from the 2011 recruiting class. 

100. Viliami Moala, DT (Cal)

Jackson is talented defensive back who will look to become the next Prince Amukamara at Nebraska.  Jackson was taken back by his DB coach after leaving a short while after he signed, but look for him to become a good CB in time.

Grade: Incomplete

98. Kasen Williams, WR (Washington)

A 6'2", 200-pound perimeter terror for an offense, Williams is the biggest U-Dub receiver commit since Craig Chambers and could put up Reggie Williams-like stats in Seattle.

Grade: C

97. Gerod Holliman, DB (Louisville)

Holliman is a talented defensive back who can play both safety spots and some corner. He has very good range to roam and make plays, and solid instincts to read combo routes and not be looked off by quarterbacks.

Grade: Incomplete

96. Trey DePriest, LB (Alabama)

A coverage linebacker, DePriest is a rare second-level defender from the prep ranks who excels at the junction point. He has great hips and movement skills versus the pass, and is instinctive to make picks underneath in coverage. 

The 6'2", 230-pounder also has speed and range to track the run sideline-to-sideline.

Grade: B

95. Demetrious Nicholson, DB (Virginia)

Nicholson is among the quickest defensive backs in the country. His short-area burst and quickness allows the 5'11", 170-pound corner to match up with any  receiver.

Grade: Incomplete

92. Greg Robinson, OL (Auburn)

Bound to block for the champs, the 6'4", 300-pound Robinson is versatile enough to play tackle or guard.  He is a great drive blocker in the run game, moving defenders off their marks, but he also can pull and trap well.

Robinson is a solid athlete and can make blocks in space.  

Grade: Incomplete

91. Amir Carlisle, RB (USC)

Carlisle switched to USC over Stanford on a recruiting trip to Los Angeles. He can play running back or slot receiver, and will give the Trojans' backfield another home run threat.

Carlisle is extremely quick and shifty, and he is a matchup problem for linebackers out of the backfield.

Grade: C

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

Walsh is a dual-threat QB who can throw for 300 yards one week and rush for 150 the next week. 

Anything you ask him to do, the 6'2", 190-pound signal-caller can do it. He's got legit 4.4 speed and surely some trick plays will be in store for him at Oklahoma State.

Grade: Incomplete

89. Christian French,TE (Oregon)

French is a 6'6", 230-pound tight end who is big, long and has a large strike zone to pluck balls out of the air and away from his frame. He can get up the seams with solid speed, but he's very aware to work voids underneath to be quarterback-friendly.  

Grade: Incomplete

88. Christian LeMay, QB (Georgia)

LeMay will get a chance to learn from Aaron Murray in Athens for a few years before he takes the reins.  LeMay has solid arm strength and accuracy at 6'2" and 200 pounds. He's a great leader and an extended coach on-field.  

Grade: Incomplete

87. Kiehl Frazier, QB (Auburn)

Frazier is from the same area of Springdale, Ark., where current Tiger OC Gus Malzahn once coached. Malzahn's offense is heavily used in the area, which is why many feel Frazier should have a seamless transition to Auburn's offense. 

Grade: C+

86. Ben Koyack, TE (Notre Dame)

Koyack is the typical Pennsylvania prep football player—big, tough, strong and gritty.  

The 6'5", 230-pounder will look to be the next Kyle Rudolph for the Irish down the line. 

Koyack can excel as a dynamic force in the passing game, using his size and length while also working very hard as a blocker in the run game.

Grade: C-

85. Justice Hayes, RB (Michigan)

Hayes displayed true maturity and love for Big Blue when Rich Rodriguez was fired by stating that, no matter what,  he was sticking with Michigan. 

The 5'10", 175-pound running back is among the quickest in the country and will take the rock to the house many times in the Big House throughout his career.

Grade: Incomplete

Peake knows how to use his size to shield away smaller defenders from the ball.  

Grade: D

83. DeAnthony Arnett, WR (Tennessee)

Arnett has great hands and high points the ball extremely well. He's extremely athletic, as evidenced by his great adjust ability and his long arms that give him a large catch radius. 

Arnett can pluck balls away from his frame and then use his speed to make plays deep or as a RAC-type of receiver.

Grade: B-

82. Delvin Simmons, DT (Texas Tech)

Simmons is a similar player to Christian Heyward, yet he may be a big stronger at this point.

Simmons is 6'5" and 265 pounds with solid athleticism in the trenches. He plays with a great motor and always looks to make plays up and down the line.

Grade: B

81. Reese Dismukes, OL (Auburn)

At 6'4" and around 290 pounds, Dismukes can play center, guard or tackle. He's tough and nasty along the trenches, and is also a solid run-blocker.

Grade: B

80. Tre Madden, LB (USC)

Madden is an underrated linebacker who will likely play the SAM or WILL at USC. He can really cover running backs well out of the backfield and has the hips to adjust, turn and run at the junction point. 

Madden has solid lateral movement and plays with great range.  

Grade: Incomplete

79. Bobby Hart, OL (Florida State)

Hart has very nimble, light and quick feet for a big man who stands 6'4" and weighs nearly 300 pounds.  He's very quick laterally, and can slide and mirror as well as any offensive lineman in the country.

Grade: Incomplete

78. Max Wittek, QB (USC)

Wittek is one of two top-notch USC QB commits from 2011. He stands 6'4", weighs 215 pounds and has a rifle for an arm. Wittek comes from the same school as Matt Leinart and Matt Barkley, and will look to continue the lineage of Mater Dei-to-USC starting quarterbacks.

Marvelous Marvin is a big-time receiver with big-time length. 

At 6'3" and with a long wing span, Shinn can easily snatch balls in the air and away from his frame. He's got solid speed and the leaping ability to use his size to his advantage.  

Grade: Incomplete

76. Antonio Richardson, OT (Tennessee)

Richardson is a big, 6'6", 310-pound tackle prospect who looks like a future all-conference right tackle wherever he goes. He's a mauler in the run game, and he is great in a short area or phone booth. 

Richardson is just athletic enough to get to the second level on linebackers and make blocks in space.  

Grade: C

75. Jacoby Brissett, QB (Florida)

Brisset is a 6'5", 230-pound QB, and is a very athletic signal-caller with great arm strength and solid accuracy from the pocket. He can also make throws on the run and plays with his legs.

Grade: C+

74. Herschel Sims, RB (Oklahoma State)

Sims is a 5'10", 190-pound running back with home run and every-down ability. He has deceptive run strength and power to push piles while also having the speed to turn the corner.

Once he gets up field, Sims can outrun defenders to pay-dirt.  

Grade: C-

73. Matthew Hegarty, OL (Notre Dame)

Hegarty is a 6'5", 270-pound lineman at Notre Dame. He looks like he could grow into a solid tackle in time due to his natural knee bend and refusal to bend at the waist. 

Even at 6'5", Hegarty plays with a good pad level and sound leverage. He uses his nimble feet slide and mirrors well in space as a pass protector.

Grade: Incomplete

72. Cody Kessler, QB (USC)

Kessler is the second of the Trojans' incoming QB duo from the 2011 class. It's a debate as to whether or not Wittek should be here, but only time will tell.

At 6'1" and 210 pounds, Kessler is a very consistent player. He has solid arm strength, accuracy and athleticism. 

Grade: Incomplete

71. Brett Hundley, QB (UCLA)

Hundley, a 6'4", 210-pound QB, is the 2011 headliner for the Bruins. He was a huge get and is viewed as the future of UCLA football.

Hundley is a prime fit for the pistol offense that the Bruins want to run moving forward.

Grade: Incomplete

70. Kenny Hayes, DE (Ohio State)

Hayes is part of an incoming defensive end class for the Buckeyes that rivals the trio headed to Notre Dame.

At 6'5" and 245 pounds, Hayes is a solid athlete who can play the run and pass. He's a solid rusher with a good burst at the snap and strength to anchor against the run.

Grade: Incomplete

69. Tyler Moore, OT (Nebraska)

A big, nasty blocker, Moore is 6'6" and 300 pounds. He could be a great right tackle or kick inside to guard.

Moore looks to not only finish but also punish defenders in the run game, and can move stouter linemen off their marks in the trenches.  

Grade: C

67. Anthony Zettel, DE (Penn State)

Zettel defines the scouting term "relentless motor." He works every snap and just keeps coming and coming and coming. 

Zettel plays with great energy and effort, and hustles to make plays. He can chase down from the backside, play stout on the strong-side and still get upfield as a rusher.

Grade: Incomplete

67. Brandon Shell, OL (South Carolina)

Shell will be an All-SEC left tackle, he's that good. He stands at 6'7" and 290 pounds, which should be about 310 when he leaves college.  

Shell is a great athlete with great feet, balance, agility and adjust ability. He slides to protect and redirects well to recover in space against quick, athletic pass-rushers.

Grade: Incomplete

66. Erique Florence, DB (Auburn)

Florence is a 6'2", 185-pound free safety prospect from Valley (Ala.) with supreme instincts, range and ball skills. He can cover man-on-man a little bit, so he brings versatility to a secondary. He can also cover the deep third by himself, or split and use his speed and athleticism to get off hashes in Cover 2.

Grade: B

65. Jaxon Shipley, WR (Texas)

Shipley simply is a younger version of his older brother and former Longhorns receiver, Jordan.

Jaxon knows how to get open, works voids underneath and is very QB-friendly. He has very good release quickness and knows how to get out of his breaks in underneath routes.

Jaxon has sound hands and is a reliable option.

Grade: B+

64. Kenny Hilliard, RB (LSU)

Hilliard is a big running back with smaller back skills. He's not just a bruising straight-liner, as the 6'0", 220-pounder has some wiggle to his style. He's very strong to push piles, and he can gain yards after contact. 

Grade: D

63. Aundrey Walker, OL (USC)

Walker is a 6'5", 355-pound offensive guard who may be the best pure, surefire guard prospect in the country. He dominates one-on-one in the run game, and is athletic enough to combo block, get to the second level and pull a trap. 

Walker is a solid pass protector in a phone booth, and once he gets his hands on a rusher, it's over.

Grade: C

62. Eric MacLain, TE (Clemson)

MacLain is a clone of Panthers tight end Jeremy Shockey; he even resembles him. 

Rough and rugged, the 6'5", 245-pound tight end factors in the run and pass. He gets after it as a blocker, working to seal edges and pin defensive ends and 'backers. MacLain can also be flexed as a receiver, has soft hands and uses his size to high point balls.

Grade: Incomplete

61. Kelvin Benjamin, WR (Florida State)

Benjamin stands 6'6" and weighs 210 pounds. He has great speed and can kill a defense on all three levels. 

A red-zone matchup nightmare, Benjamin can high-point balls and win jumpers in the end zone with his size and great leaping ability. Benjamin also has long arms to increase his strike zone and snatch balls away from his frame.

Grade: Incomplete

60. Aaron Green, RB (Nebraska)

Green chose to leave the Lone Star State for college and head north for Nebraska. He's a 5''10", 190-pound running back with excellent speed, quickness and jump-cut ability. Green can pick and slide well to holes, and has a burst to skate to the second level.  

Grade: C-

59. A.C. Leonard, TE (Florida)

Leonard is almost a clone of former Gators tight end Aaron Hernandez.

At 6'2" and 235 pounds, Leonard can play the move position, h-back and some fullback while still factoring as a receiver in the passing game. He's athletic for a tight end and gets out of his breaks quickly. 

Leonard also has great hands and works as a blocker.

Grade: B

58. Lawrence Thomas, LB (Michigan State)

Thomas is the headliner of Mark Dantonio's 2011 recruiting class and rightfully so. The 6'4", 265-pounder can play linebacker, defensive end, tight end, fullback and running back. 

Thomas is a strong player who explodes at the point of attack at any position he plays, which appears to be likely be LB.  

Grade: Incomplete

57. Savon Huggins, RB (Rutgers)

Huggins chose to stay home and play football in Piscataway over the likes of Notre Dame, North Carolina and Michigan State. He will likely see early time for the Scarlet Knights, as the 6'0", 190-pound running back has speed, strength and vision, which will allow him to be a three-down rock-toter in college.  

Grade: B

56. Jay Rome, TE (Georgia)

Rome is a Dream Team member, and finally committed to the Bulldogs. He's a superb tight end, standing 6'6" and weighs 255 pounds. 

Rome has very long arms and a large catch radius. His speed allows him to hustle up seams, beat linebackers and jump on top of safeties. He's still developing as a blocker, but once he gains strength, Rome will be a complete tight end in Athens.

Grade: Incomplete

55. James Vaughters, LB (Stanford)

Vaughters is a solid, thick-cut linebacker from the Peach State, now on The Farm. He's very physical and stout against the run, and looks to fill holes aggressively. 

Vaughters challenges ball carriers at the point of attack and has solid range.

Grade: C

54. Desmond Jackson, DT (Texas)

Jackson is among the quickest defensive linemen at the snap in the nation. He's 6'1" and 280 pounds, and has the makings of a great gap-penetrating tackle. 

Jackson gets up field in a hurry, plays with good leverage and doesn't stay blocked for long. He routinely played on the other side of the line of scrimmage in the UA game against some talented offensive linemen.

Grade: C

53. Jace Amaro, TE (Texas Tech)

Amaro is an athletic 6'5", 240-pound tight end. He's at his best as a pass-catcher, in-line and flexed out. 

Amaro has soft hands, runs great routes and can catch well in a crowd. He has speed to stretch the field and awareness to work voids in zone coverages.

Grade: C-

52. LaDarius Brown, WR (TCU)

Brown switched from Oklahoma to TCU, and he will be a big-time star in Fort Worth.

At 6'2" and 190 pounds, Brown has speed, hands, size and playmaking ability on the edges. 

Grade: Incomplete

51. Jordan Phillips, DL (Oklahoma)

Phillips is super athletic at 6'6" and 290 pounds. The big defensive tackle could play strong-side end if he chooses, but will likely grow into a dominant tackle in college. 

Phillips is quick at the snap and and can overpower a line. He's athletic enough that some say he could play tight end in college, as he does possess very soft hands and shocking RAC ability for such a big player.

Grade: Incomplete

50. Nickolas Brassell, WR (Ole Miss)

Brassell is a receiver out of South Panola High School in Mississippi. He's 6'0", 175 pounds and a sheer playmaker. 

Brassell is also a great return man and will surely impact the special teams phase of his college team. 

Grade: D

49. Quandre Diggs, CB (Texas)

Diggs is headed to Austin to play cornerback for new Texas DC Manny Diaz. Diggs is 5'10", 190 pounds and has great hips, instincts and mirror-ability on the perimeter. 

His athletic ability, quickness and recovery speed should allow the new Longhorns defensive scheme to employ multiple coverages.

Grade: B

48. Xzavier Dickson, LB (Alabama)

Dickson could easily develop into a great h-back or move to tight end—he could also be a stand-up outside linebacker or a weak-side defensive end. 

He's 6'3" and 240 pounds with great speed, athleticism and instincts. 

Grade: D

47. Damian Swann, DB (Georgia)

Swann could as easily end up at receiver as he could defensive back, as the 6'0", 175-pounder is special with the ball in his hands. 

He's been playing DB this year and has made a start.

Grade: C

46. Greg Townsend, DE (USC)

Townsend chose USC over TCU. Many felt he was just a product of playing against inferior competition, but the 6'4", 245-pounder revved up his motor and overall game to impress all week during the Under Armour game practices last winter.

Grade: Incomplete

45. LaMar Dawson, LB (USC)

Dawson is a big linebacker at 6'2" and 230 pounds, and is wearing No. 55 for USC.

Dawson has flashed a a high ceiling and probably will be the clear-cut starting MIKE LB in 2012.

Grade: C+

44. Anthony Chickillo, DE (Miami)

Chickillo has seen time for the 'Canes and then some.

The 6'3', 230-pounder has invested in the strength program long term and looks to be a future star for Al Golden in the coming years.

Grade: C+

43. Odell Beckham Jr., WR (LSU)

Beckham is a 5'10", 170-pound player who defines the term "RAC receiver." You just have to get him the ball any way you can and let him do his thing on the field.  

Smoke screens, wildcat, slants and reverses are all great ways.

Beckham is great in space and uses his agility, quickness, speed and instincts to make plays.

Grade: B+

42. Jeoffrey Pagan, DE (Alabama)

Pagan tore his ACL early in his senior season, but remained a prime recruit all year. The 6'4", 275-pound defensive lineman can play tackle or end.  

It looks like Pagan is working on strengthening his knee this year, but he has appeared in three games. I still find it it tough to believe he's at full strength.

Grade: IC/C

41. Michael Bennett, OL (Ohio State)

Bennett played in the defensive trenches primarily in high school in Ohio, yet his future seems to be a center/guard on the offensive front as a Buckeye.

Grade: Incomplete

40. Mike Blakely, RB (Auburn)

Blakely transferred to Auburn in the spring from Florida in a peculiar development. At 5'9" and 200 pounds, Blakely has great speed, quickness, burst and vision. He jumps on top of linebackers in alleys and skates to the second level with ease.

Grade: Incomplete

39. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE/OT (Washington)

Seferian-Jenkins is a 6'7", 250-pound tight end who could develop into an OT in Seattle for UW.  

As a TE, Seferian-Jenkins has the size and athleticism to impact the passing game with his speed and large strike zone. He also has the size and girth to develop into a sound blocker in the running game.

Grade: B 

38. Brent Calloway, LB (Alabama)

At 6'1" and 210 pounds, Calloway ended up at Alabama after all. He wanted to play RB, but 'Bama felt he was a better LB.

Time well tell who gets their way here.

Grade: Incomplete

37. Marcus Roberson, CB (Florida)

At 6'1" and 180 pounds, Roberson has earned a starting spot at Florida. He has a smooth backpedal and tremendous ball skills for a safety, but has reportedly insisted on playing cornerback.

Grade: A

36. Devon Blackmon, WR (Oregon)

Blackmon showed off his juice by blowing by Under Armour game defensive backs all night. At 6'0" and 180 pounds, Blackmon will also get a shot as a return man as well.  

Chip Kelly will love finding ways to utilize Blackmon in his fast-break spread offense.

Grade: Incomplete

35. Marqise Lee, WR (USC)

Lee was thought to be headed to USC as a safety, but shockingly has asserted himself as the No. 2 WR for Matt Barkley as a true freshman. Lane Kiffin says he is ahead of where Robert Woods was last year.

Lee looks like a future superstar.

Grade: A

34. Braxton Miller, QB (Ohio State)

Miller has been preordained to be a Buckeye since birth. He's a legend in Ohio, and has been compared to former Buckeye QB Troy Smith and NFL star Donovan McNabb.  

At 6'2" and about 185 pounds, Miller can beat you from the pocket or with his legs.

Grade: B

33. Nick O'Leary, TE (Florida State)

O'Leary chose the 'Noles over the likes of LSU, Alabama, Miami and Wisconsin. The stud tight end has a large strike zone, speed, catch-in-a-crowd ability and is a dangerous RAC player.  

O'Leary is a bully with the ball in his hands and tries to punish tacklers for even thinking they can stop him. 

Grade: C

32. Malcolm Mitchell, WR (Georgia)

Mitchell is a huge pickup for the Dawgs, as the 6'1", 185-pounder can play WR and both safety and cover corner.  

A great athlete, Mitchell also has flashed good speed as a WR and has a high ceiling.

Grade: A

31. Steve Edmond, LB (Texas)

Edmond can play all three linebacker spots in the 4-3, but looks like he will begin right in the middle as MIKE 'backer in Austin over time. Manny Diaz will surely find ways to put Edmond (6'3", 225 pounds) in positions to make play after play.  

Edmond is also a solid blitzer who can rush off the edge a bit as well.

Grade: B

30. Aaron Lynch, DE (Notre Dame)

Lynch went back and forth between Notre and Florida State, and settled on Notre Dame. He has seen time on the Irish 30 front and has held his own when on the field.

Grade: A

29. Colt Lyerla, LB (Oregon)

Lyerla chose to stay home and be a Duck over offers from USC, Oregon State, Cal and a host of other big-time programs. He's listed as an ATH, but stands 6'5" and weighs 225 pounds. He can play outside linebacker, defensive end, tight end, h-back or even fullback. 

Grade: B

28. Mike Bellamy, RB (Clemson)

Bellamy is one of the fastest players in the country. A 5'10", 185-pound running back, he's electric with the ball in his hands.  

Clemson fans will definitely be excited, as Bellamy has the potential to rival what Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller did for the Tigers. 

Grade: C

27. Stephon Tuitt, DE (Notre Dame)

Tuitt is a super talented 6'5", 260-pounder who could play DE or OLB for Notre Dame. He's got great quickness, chase speed and strength.

Grade: C-

26. Stephone Anthony, LB (Clemson)

Anthony is one of the top linebackers in the country. At 6'3" and 225 pounds, he has the athleticism, hips and instincts to excel as a coverage linebacker who can play all three downs.

Grade: B

25. Jarvis Landry, WR (LSU)

At 5'11" and 180 pounds, Landry has great release quickness, eats up cushion in a hurry and gets even with corners with ease. 

Landry will surely continue the tradition of solid receivers to come out of LSU, such as Dwayne Bowe, Josh Reed and Terrance Tolliver, among an array of other talented receivers who called the Bayou home.

Grade: C

24. Kris Frost, LB (Auburn)

Frost aspires to play receiver, but may be a better linebacker.  

At 6'3" and 210 pounds, Frost is among the best athletes in country for his size and moves well around the field wherever he plays. He has great size and hands for a receiver, as well as good instincts and range as an outside linebacker. 

Grade: Incomplete

23. C.J. Johnson, LB (Ole Miss)

Johnson was solid to Mississippi State, but when Manny Diaz bolted for Texas, he opened up, hit it off with Houston Nutt and opted for Ole Miss.

At 6'3" and 225 pounds, Johnson is an elite linebacker with speed, range, size, quickness, shed/escape ability, instincts and vision to ball carriers. 

Grade: B

22. Christian Westerman, OL (Auburn)

At 6'5" and 290 pounds, Westerman can play right tackle or kick inside to guard. He's a nasty run-blocker who can move defenders off their marks and is the best finisher in the country as a blocker.

Grade: C

21. Ishaq Williams, DE (Notre Dame)

At 6'5" and 230 pounds, Williams likely will play outside linebacker in South Bend, where his length, athleticism and first-step quickness will allow him to excel early and often down the line.

Grade: C-

20. Dee Hart, RB (Alabama)

Hart is a 5'8", 190-pound stick of dynamite on the field and is enrolled at Alabama. He lit up the Army game, averaging around seven yards a carry against some of the nation's best defenders.

Unfortunately for Hart, he tore his ACL in spring workouts and is redshirting after impressing as an early enrollee.

Grade: Incomplete

19. Tim Jernigan, DT (Florida State)

Jernigan is a 6'2", 295-pound force in the defensive trenches who can power through an offensive lineman or blow by them at the snap. He's so athletically gifted for a defensive lineman that some think he could play some DE at FSU.

Grade: B+

18. Brandon Williams, RB (Oklahoma)

At 6'1" and 190 pounds, Williams has a chance to step in right away and help fill DeMarco Murray's shoes in Norman. Williams can do it all as a running back, and once he develops his pass protection and blitz pickup skills, he will be a complete running back for the Sooners.

Grade: C-

17. Trey Metoyer, WR (Oklahoma)

Metoyer is a 6'2", 185-pound receiver who should be able to learn well from Sooner receivers Ryan Broyles and Kenny Stills - when he arrives next January as Metoyer currently enrolled at Hargrave Military Academy.

Metoyer has the size, hands, concentration, catch radius, leaping ability and speed to terrorize a secondary.

Grade: Incomplete/Ineligible 

16. Anthony Johnson, DT (LSU)

Johnson was the best defensive tackle prospect in the country. At 6'4" and 300 pounds, Johnson is a big man who can do little-man things. He's super quick at the snap, can penetrate gaps and use his speed to finish plays. 

Grade: A

15. Jeff Driskel, QB (Florida)

Driskel was on par to start last week, but hurt his ankle. He's 6'4", 225 pounds, and has a cannon arm, solid accuracy and mobility.

As a prospect, there's nothing Driskel can't do physically on the field, and Charlie Weis should develop him into an elite QB in Gainesville down the road.

Grade: C+

14. Sammy Watkins, WR (Clemson)

Watkins is a dynamic receiver who stands 6'1" and 180 pounds. He's among the fastest players in the country and eats up cushion faster than any receiver in this year's class.

Watkins can take a smoke screen and turn it into a big gain due to his playmaking ability. He has solid hands, and once he hones down the art of precise route running, he will be terrific.

Grade: A+

13. Isaiah Crowell, RB (Georgia)

A game-breaker, Crowell is one the elite running backs in the country.  

At 5'11" and 210 pounds, Crowell has excellent speed, vision, burst, quickness and quick-cut ability. He is the No. 1 RB for UGA already and looks like a future star.

Grade: A

12. James Wilder, RB (Florida State)

Wilder is pound-for-pound one of the strongest and most athletic players in the 2011 class, regardless of position. He's physically gifted and could be a great running back or outside linebacker.

Cut and chiseled, Wilder has speed, quickness, agility and play instincts to do what he wants on the field.

Grade: B

11. HaSean Clinton-Dix, DB (Alabama)

At 6'2" and 190 pounds, Clinton-Dix is one of the top safeties and players in the 2011 class. He has the speed and range to cover the deep third of the field, and instincts to read routes and make interceptions.

10. Ray Drew, OLB/DE (Georgia)

An athletic specimen, Drew stands 6'5" and 245 pounds with a great first step, excellent quickness and a burst to close out on quarterbacks. He will continue his transition to stand-up OLB in Athens this season.

Grade: C-

9. La'El Collins, OT (LSU)

At 6'5" and 290 pounds, Collins is one of the elite left tackle prospects in this year's class.  He has the foot quickness, adjust ability, recovery quickness and agility to mirror any pass-rusher in the country at left tackle.

Grade: Incomplete

8. Curtis Grant, LB (Ohio State)

Grant is another elite linebacker prospect in what may be the most talent-rich position in this year's class. He's physical against the run and jumps on top of running backs by filling run alleys with quickness and tenacity.  

Grade: Incomplete

7. Tony Steward, LB (Clemson)

Steward is the most athletic linebacker in the country, standing 6'2" and weighing 225 pounds. He can play the MIKE, WILL or SAM spot in a 4-3, and still cover running backs and tight ends very well.

Grade: C-

6. DeAnthony Thomas, RB (Oregon)

Thomas is a do-it-all player who played running back, cornerback, safety, receiver, quarterback and returner in high school. He has lined up as a RB, WR and KOR for the Ducks, and has flashed some big play potential.

Grade: B

5. Malcolm Brown, RB (Texas)

A 6'0", 220-pound man-child with the football, Malcolm Brown is the best running back in the country. His size, speed, vision, quickness and strength will make him an instant hit at Texas.

Brown must continue to develop his hands, but he should become a special runner in college, and already is the top RB for Mack Brown's team.

Grade: B+

4. Karlos Williams, DB/SS (Florida State)

Williams is a defensive back with linebacker size at 6'2" and a stout 210 pounds. He was the best player in the field at the Under Armour game and will be a dynamic strong safety at Florida State in the coming seasons.

Grade: C-

3. George Farmer, WR (USC)

Farmer admittedly did not play well in camp, thus has seen his friend Marqise Lee outshine him during their freshman year.

However, word has it that the 6'2", 205-pounder has come on strong in practice, and flashed great speed last night vs. Cal.

Grade: Incomplete/C

2. Cyrus Kouandjio, OT (Alabama)

Kouandjio is the best offensive lineman in the country, and the big man certainly doesn't lack size at 6'7" and 325 pounds. He's an excellent athlete at his size with great feet, agility, balance and recover ability.

Grade: Incomplete

1. Jadeveon Clowney, DE (South Carolina)

Clowney was the top recruit from the 2011 class, and the big defensive end stands around 6'6", 250 pounds and has tremendous athleticism.  

Clowney has a burst at the snap to blow by blockers, a great pass-rush plan/arsenal and speed to close. He has looked good thus far and has earned a starting nod as a DE for Steve Spurrier.

Grade: A
