The 20 Hottest Uncommitted Recruits in College Football

I'm here to give you the 20 hottest uncommitted recruits right now. These prospects have big-time talent, big-time offers and big-time potential.

They're wanted by just about each and every major FBS program you can imagine. Some have narrowed it down, and some are still a bit overwhelmed by the offers and attention. But one thing remains constant—they're hot names right now.

Let's get started.

20. Ellis McArthy, DT

McCarthy made a name for himself at the junior Army game combine by dominating the one-on-ones. Now, he's a 6'5", 311-pound DT with almost no baby fat and great strength.

He can play the one or the three technique on a 40 front. With his elite snap quickness, short area pursuit ability and size to lean on OLs, he should be a star in college.

Oregon leads USC, Cal, Florida, UCLA and Washington.

19. Kyle Murphy, OT

Another player, another offensive lineman. I mentioned at the jump, it's an outstanding year for offensive linemen and corners. Murphy is another great one and stands 6'7", 270 pounds and he has solid athleticism for an offensive trench man.

He excels in pass protection and gets by through being simply more athletic than his opponents. Once he gets coached up in college, look out, because he will combine athleticism with technique, and that could equal no sacks for opposing rushers.

Look out for USC, Stanford and Florida among a few others.

18. Nelson Agholor, ATH

Nelson Agholor may be the most athletic player in Florida this year, and perhaps the entire country. At 6'2", 180 pounds, he makes play after play all night long.

He can be a factor at safety, receiver, running back or corner. His best spot may be at safety, but you can't count him out as a receiver. He's dynamic with the ball in his hands, but then again, he could be an All-American safety.

Florida, USC, Texas, Miami, Florida State, Georgia and Notre Dame are in the hunt.

17. Jordan Jenkins, DE

At 6'3", 250 pounds, Jenkins may be able to come in as a true freshman and make an impact as a sub-rusher from day one; he's that athletically gifted.

You watch him on tape and you see a burst and ability to beat blockers at the snap. He can bend well off the edge and close on the QB in a flash.

Alabama and Florida are above Georgia.

16. Adolphus Washington, DE

Washington is another pass rusher and among the elite in the country this year. At 6'5", 250 pounds, Washington has the size to play the strong side in college, but also the athleticism, play speed and quickness to man the weak side.

He has a long frame to stay clean, he can convert speed into power quickly and forcefully, and he bends solidly

Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan State and Cincinnati are his top four.

15. Josh Garnett, OL

Garnett may be the best offensive guard prospect from the Washington area since Steve Schilling. At 6'5", 275 pounds, he has a high ceiling and plays with great athletic ability, knee bend and strength. He also may be able to kick out to tackle in college.

Garnett has good snap quickness, gets into his opponent's chest, walks them back and he can finish. He holds his own in pass protection, as he can work well in the short area confines at guard.

Look out for Michigan, Oklahoma, Washington, Notre Dame, Oregon and more.

14. Avery Young, OT

When you watch Young move around on tape, you wonder if he could even play tight end, as he is that athletic. He has not even scratched the surface of how good he can be, as the 6'5", 275-pounder looks like a potential left tackle.

He can set up quickly, slide, mirror, bend, recover and anchor versus rushers down after down. Once he learns good hand placement and how to mix up his sets, he could develop into an All-American left tackle.

Auburn, Georgia, Florida and Alabama are in the thick of the race.

13. Darius Hamilton, DE

Hamilton is a 6'4", 245-pound defensive prospect who can do it all. Most ends at the high school level only focus on their pass-rushing prowess, yet Hamilton shows the strength to anchor and shed against the end.

Toss that in with his elite pass-rushing ability, and you see a 5-star prospect on the defensive edge.

Rutgers leads other schools like Florida, Cal, Oregon, Tennessee and Oklahoma.

12. Gunner Kiel, QB

Kiel is a 6'4", 200-pound QB with great tools. He's a got a solid arm, flashes striking accuracy, good field vision and some athleticism.

He runs a spread offense and shows a total grasp and command of what he's doing. Some consider Kiel to be the finest QB prospect in this year's class.

He's backed off his Indiana pledge and has Notre Dame, Michigan and Alabama after him.

11. Quay Evans, DT

At 6'2", 320 pounds, Evans is an immovable object in the trenches. He has great strength, and I like him as a one-technique or a nose tackle.

Once Evans gets his hands on a blocker and inside the body, it's over, as he can use brute and sheer strength to toss them around or overpower them to get into the backfield.

Mississippi State, Alabama and Ole Miss seem to be the core three.

10. Shaq Thompson, DB

Thompson is a 6'2", 205-pound safety prospect who can also play running back and a little bit of cornerback. His brother Syd plays for the Denver Broncos, and Shaq was the top player for NorCal powerhouse Grant HS (Calif.) as a junior.

Thompson can play both FS and SS and even some CB in a pinch. He fires at the run, but also has great range and cover instincts on the back end.

Oregon leads Washington, Cal, Michigan and Notre Dame.

9. Landon Collins, DB/LB

Collins is a 5-star recruit and one of the top players in the country, as he can play safety and outside linebacker. At 6'0", 210 pounds, Collins shows to be uber-instinctive in the box, physical versus the run and rangy to chase and pursue.

He's productive in space in coverage, showing an ability to factor in the zone due to his awareness. He always finds a way to the ball and hates getting caught in traffic. Look for him to be one of the best strong safeties to come out of this class.

Texas is coming on strong to Alabama and LSU.

8. Eddie Goldman, DT

A 6'5", 307-pound defensive tackle who has "special" written all over him. He has the quickness to jump blockers at the snap, strength to toss and shed, and anchor ability to stop double-teams in their tracks and make a mess in the middle.

He wants to play 4-3 tackle, but some teams like him at 3-4 nose. He can play both well in my opinion, and could even play 3-4 end. He isn't a wow-you type of athlete who will chase in pursuit, but Goldman does have a bit of range.

Clemson, Alabama, Cal, Florida State, Auburn, Maryland and Miami are the top seven.

7. Stefon Diggs, WR

Diggs is a player who can factor as a receiver or safety. I could move him onto the ATH board or DS board, but in the end, he is simply too good with the ball in his hands not to play on offense in my opinion.

At 6'1", 190 pounds, he is a quicker-than-fast athlete, but he does have tremendous speed. His RAC ability is amazing, and he is likely tops in this category in the country for 2012. Diggs can shake, bake and clean the dishes routinely.

Florida, Cal, Miami, Maryland, Auburn, South Carolina, USC, Virginia, Oklahoma, Michigan and Virginia Tech are schools to name.

6. Keith Marshall, RB

Perhaps the fastest running back in the country, Marshall is a touchdown machine. I liken him to Marshall Faulk, as he can impact the game as a runner, receiver and even as a returner.

At 5'11", 185 pounds, Marshall has been timed in the 4.3 range in the 40. He combines electric speed, quickness, burst, agility and vision to make him a dazzling running back prospect.

Florida, Clemson, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia Tech and South Carolina are in the race.

5. Arik Armstead, DE

A 6'8", 280-pound monster, Armstead can play DE, DT and even OT for you. In fact, Scout.com has him as their top OT prospect.

However, Armstead has no interest in playing OL in college and is really only considering schools that want him as a DE.

He was committed to USC, but has backed off and is looking at Michigan, Alabama, Cal, USC, Auburn, Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma and a few more.

4. Kwon Alexander, LB

At 6'2", 210 pounds, Alexander is a fantastic linebacker prospect. He has tremendous play speed and range and will be a three-down defender in college.

He projects well at WILL, but I think he can also play SAM in a 4-3 scheme due to his ability to carry tight ends around the field in coverage.

Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, LSU and Oregon are the top five.

3. Noah Spence, DE

Spence is the top pure pass-rusher in the country and easily has the quickest first two steps in America. He flies off the ball and gets after the QB with tenacity, passion and sheer speed.

At 6'4", 245 pounds, Spence can also stand up as a 3-4 OLB and rush the passer, while also making plays from the backside against the run.

UNC, Penn State, USC, Notre Dame, Maryland, NC State, Florida and LSU are in the race.

2. Andrus Peat, OT

At 6'7", 280 pounds, Peat is the top line prospect in the country and will be a franchise left tackle. He has around 40 offers on the table.

He reminds me a lot of USC left tackle Matt Kalil coming out of high school. Sound in his technique, smart, patient and savvy in pass protection, Peat is an elite offensive lineman.

Stanford, Texas, Nebraska, USC and Florida State are the schools that will or may get visits.

1. Dorial Green-Beckham, WR

At 6'6" and 220 pounds, Green-Beckham has the hands, separation quickness, catch-in-crowd ability and playmaking talent to become a dominant receiver in college.

Many have the big WR from Missouri as their No. 1 overall prospect and he's the hottest name in the land. Whether you see Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Plaxico Burress or Alshon Jeffery in him, the consensus is DGB is good, real good.

Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas and Arkansas are schools to watch out for.
