College Football Recruiting 2012: Dec. 21 Turns Into a Huge Day of Commitments

The recruiting process is really heating up, and many are wondering where the top players will end up. While most players have already made their decisions, there are quite a few that can't make up their minds for whatever reason.

Yesterday was a big day, as there were several commitments made. There are, of course, a ton of top recruits that are still scheduled to make their decisions later, but yesterday put a big dent in the whole process.

Here are all of the players that made a commitment on December 21.

Cornerback Otis Jacobs

Mississippi Gulf Coast - Committed to Texas A&M

Defensive End Morgan Breslin

Diablo Valley - Committed to University of Southern California

Defensive Tackle Damien Jacobs

East Mississippi - Committed to Florida

Jacobs is one of the top defensive tackles in the country and very powerful at 6'2", 300 pounds. Look for him to make a strong impact on the Florida Gators team and compete for quality playing time right away.

Linebacker Otis Winston

Chandler High School - Committed to New Mexico

Running Back George Morris

Central Gwinnett High School - Committed to Syracuse

Cornerback Dehendret Collins

Copiah-Lincoln - Committed to Ole Miss

Safety Gerald Bowman

Pierce College - Committed to University of Southern California 

Bowman is a very physical safety and is known for his big hits. He is a sure tackler, very athletic and a ball hawk in coverage. This is a huge pick up for the Trojans and fills in a much-needed position.

Offensive lineman Jon Green

North Schuylkill JSHS - Committed to Villanova

Defensive End Darrington Sentimore

Mississippi Gulf Coast - Committed to Tennessee

Defensive End Taiwan Johnson

Manvel HS - Committed to Arkansas

Defensive End Austin Flynn

Los Angeles Harbor - Committed to Arkansas

Running Back Kelvin York

Fullerton - Committed to Utah

OT Pierce Burton

CC of San Francisco - Committed to Ole Miss

WR Alex Jackson

Culver City Senior HS - Committed to Washington State

OT Nick Davidson

Eden Prairie Sr. - Committed to Stanford

Stanford needs offensive lineman, with several of them heading to the NFL this season. Davidson, who is a 4-star recruit, fits the bill. His 6'6", 280-pound body is great for moving defenders and has a long line of family members that played at the next level.

Cornerback Kass Everett

Pierce College - Committed to Oklahoma

Everett may only be 5'10" and 180 pounds, but he doesn't play like it. He is very physical and not afraid to lay a big hit on somebody. He is a very tough corner and should receive playing time soon for the Sooners.

WR Javon Bell

Mississippi Gulf Coast - Committed to Texas Tech

Bell is an extremely fast wide receiver and the ultimate deep threat. He's only 6'0" tall so he does lack size but it's very tough for defenders to keep up with him. His hands are also questionable but this is a solid pick up for the Red Raiders.

C Evan Boehm

Lee's Summit West HS - Committed to Missouri

Boehm is ranked as the No.1 center in the country, so it's always big when you land a top-ranked player like this. He's an extremely strong player that doesn't stop until the whistle blows.

CB Travell Dixon

Eastern Arizona - Committed to Alabama

Dixon has the size Nick Saban likes in his defensive backs at 6'2", 200 pounds. He will fit in extremely well with the rest of the group and just add more depth to an already talented bunch.

DE Shalom Ogbonda

Kempner HS - Committed to FAU

OLB Dallas Griffiths

North Florida Christian - Committed to Maryland

WR Alonzo Agwuenu

Mount San Antonio - Committed to Arizona State

OT Steven Moore

Elk Grove HS - Committed to California

OLB Khalil Pettway

Culver City Senior HS - Committed to Washington State

DT Jake Sheffield

College of the Desert - Committed to Arizona State

WR Jehu Chesson

Ladue Horton Watkins HS - Committed to Michigan
