College Football Recruiting 2012: The Top Commitment at Every Position

This has been a bit of a peculiar year in recruiting, 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.

Yet, for this read, I'm going to give you who I feel is the top prospect committed at each position. Now, this list could change going forward in several ways, including if another player graded higher makes a commitment or if the player de-commits, etc.

But here's the top player at each position who has already pledged to a school.

DS: Eddie Williams

DS, WR and OLB are all spots 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 who 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. He can also return punts and kicks very, very well, too.

Darby 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 also has very good foot quickness, which is why he projects well to corner.

Commitment: Notre Dame

LB: Reggie Ragland

Ragland is a fantastic prospect in my eyes, and 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 works in coverage as well.

Commitment: Alabama

DT: Quay Evans

At 6'2" and 320 pounds, Evans is an immovable object in the trenches. He has great strength, and I like him as a 1-technique or a nose tackle.

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

Commitment: Mississippi State

DE: Chris Casher

Casher is a prospect who 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" and 230 pounds.

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.

Commitment: Florida State

TE: Kent Taylor

Taylor is a 6'5", 215-pounder who 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, a 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" and 270 pounds, Humphries is a left tackle through and through, and is likely the country's best athlete in the trenches.

Humphries 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

Roland is a receiver who is here because his ceiling is so high.

At 6'1" and 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 more than 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" and 190 pounds, Winston combines a rifle for an arm 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
