College Football Recruiting 2012: The Top Commitment at Every Position

Revisiting the top committed prospect at each position series. There have been a couple changes, as some prospects are looking around. Hmmm.

This has been a bit of a peculiar year, as there are a lot of big names already committed, but there are still a handful of elite prospects still looking around. So the only thing left for us to do is wait and see.

If he's a top-tier prospect and he's locked, he's on this list, baby!

DS: Eddie Williams

DS, WR and OLB are all spots that you could see Williams play in college, but free safety is his best spot. He's instinctive in coverage, quick to recognize routes and he can pluck interceptions out of the air with ease.

Williams is an elite free safety prospect that is 6'4", 205 pounds. Some list him as an ATH because he is that versatile, showing an ability to be a factor at a plethora of positions.

Commitment: Alabama

CB: Ronald Darby

Darby shows solid instincts in coverage, comes out of his backpedal well and can close in a hurry. Darby also can return punts and kicks very, very well, too.

He is a 5'11", 175-pound corner prospect who could find himself playing running back in college. He's a special athlete who can wow you on tape. He has very good foot quickness, which is why he projects well to corner.

Commitment: Notre Dame

LB: Reggie Ragland

Roland is a fantastic prospect in my eyes, as the only knock I question with him is his COD. Other than that, he's a heat-seeking missile.

Many project Ragland as a linebacker in college, as he shows tremendous instincts, run-plugging ability and plays to his size at the point of attack. Ragland also has the speed and range to make tackles outside the box and work in coverage as well.

Commitment: Alabama

DT: Malcom Brown

6'2", 280 pounds, Brown looks like a great future 3-technique, as his quickness at the snap is formidable.

He flies off he ball, blows by guards, disrupts offensive fronts and plays in the backfield. Brown flashes gap-penetrating ability and is a playmaker from the DT spot. He can chase and pursue the run while also generate a pass rush from the interior.

Commitment: Texas

DE: Chris Casher

I know Mario Edwards still says he's committed to Florida State, but, you know.

Casher shows a great burst at the snap and can run around blockers all contest long. He's long to stay clean and can convert speed to power. I also think Casher could play linebacker in college.

Casher is a prospect that early on was seen as a potential receiver, but he has lit it up the past few seasons as a defensive end. Now, he's mainly projected at end, and he's quicker and more athletic than many would expect at 6'4", 230.

Commitment: Florida State

TE: Kent Taylor

Taylor is a 6'5", 215-pounder that plays TE but has the ball skills of a WR, and he runs pretty well, too. He can be used as a joker type, a move guy, an H-back, fullback, slot, in-line TE and even red-zone WR.

With his length, ball skills, hands, speed and versatility, he's like a cross between Jimmy Graham and Michael Egnew.

Commitment: Florida

OL: D.J. Humphries

At 6'6", 270 pounds, Humphries is a left tackle through and through and is likely the best athlete in the trenches in the country.

He shows easy movement, slides well, can bend, adjust, recover, wash rushers off and also has good strength in the run game.

Commitment: Florida

WR: Shaq Roland

Dynamic with the ball in his hands, Roland shows very good play speed and explosiveness. He isn't very strong, but he can beat press with change of direction and quickness in his release. He flashes great separation quickness and solid hands.

Roland is a receiver that is here because his ceiling is so high. At 6'1", 180 pounds, he has played multiple spots, but receiver is his definite future home position in college. He just needs to spend more time there and get coached up.

Commitment: South Carolina

RB: Johnathan Gray

Gray is the top running back in the country on my board, as the 5'11", 195-pounder produces more than three average players put together.

He has over 6,000 yards and 109 touchdowns over the past two seasons alone. Gray has elite vision, feel, instincts, elusiveness, speed and quickness.

Commitment: Texas

QB: Jameis Winston

At 6'4", 190 pounds, Winston combines a rifle for an arm along with great play speed and running ability. He's a flat-out playmaker thanks to his dual-threat skill set.

Winston can sit in the pocket, survey the field and snap throws to all levels of the defense. Or he can escape outside the pocket and dazzle as a runner. He's also an elite baseball prospect.

Commitment: Florida State
