CFN Recruiting Rankings
1.
BYU
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Linebacker. The
Cougars got a few tremendous individual talents, but
the heft is on defense. Jake Heaps is one of the
nation's top overall recruits and the best
quarterback prospect BYU has brought in since Ben
Olson. Ross Apo will grow into a special wide
receiver and OG Graham Rowley and DE Bronson
Kaufusi could've gone just about anywhere. In all,
seven linebackers were brought in with Zac Stout
likely to be the leader of the defensive front seven
in a few years. Alani Fua, Toloa'i Ho Ching, and Sae
Tautu are all fast, athletic defenders built to play
on the outside.
2.
Utah
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... The defensive
back seven. The Utes got plenty of help for the
passing game over the last two recruiting classes,
and the shelves should remain stocked for the next
five years with the addition of solid receiver
prospects Drew Anderson and Kenneth Scott. JUCO
transfer John Cullen should be in the rotation at
offensive tackle right away, and fellow JUCOer Star
Lotulelei will make a difference on the defensive
front, but the bulk of the class is in the defensive
back seven with DBs Damian Payne, Lucky Radley, and
Terrell Reese all fast and all good enough to have
gone somewhere else. Brian Blechen leads a strong
linebacking haul.
3.
TCU
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Quarterback. Andy
Dalton isn't going to be around forever, and Gary
Patterson and his staff have brought in three
interesting quarterback prospects to wage a battle
for the starting job, possibly, in 2011. Sam Carter
is the best of the three with excellent all-around
skills, while Matt Brown and Antonio Graves are also
good athletes who'll get their shot to shine.
Linebackers Marcus Mallett and Blake Roberts fit the
Horned Frog mold, but as always, don't assume that
any TCU recruit will stick with his original
position. Patterson is a master at moving around the
talent to the right spots.
4.
San
Diego State |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Offensive
linemen. Brady Hoke has worked on improving the
skill talent over the last two seasons, and this
class was built to allow all the new players to
shine. This was a big class that addressed several
areas, but the best players were on the offensive
front led by JUCO transfer Juan Bolanos, a massive
player who'll be thrown into the rotation right
away. Emmanuel Beavers and Zach Dilley who'll be the
cornerstones for the future. JUCO transfers Riley
Gauld and Joe Unga will also be counted on early.
5.
Air
Force |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Linebacker. This
is a diverse class with a little something for all
spots, but for the second straight season the top
players are on the defensive side. Linebacker got
the biggest influx of talent with three interesting
prospects including Austin Arias, a safety-sized
tackling machine who got a little interest from the
Arizona schools but was too small for a big-time
program. He, along with Joey Nichol and Seth Kline,
will be the keys to the defense in a few years.
6.
New
Mexico |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Wide receivers.
After bringing aboard a slew of quarterbacks last
year, the Lobos needed an upgrade in receiving
talent for the near future. Head coach Mike
Locksley, even after a bizarre and disastrous 2009,
was able to use his talents as a recruiter, which
was considered his strength when hired, to sign on
four receivers led by Joshua Ford from Washington
D.C., Locksley's pipeline that brought in so much
talent to Illinois, and Detchauz Wray. Even with all
the quarterbacks in last year's class, Locksley was
still able to get Tarean Austin out of Florida.
7.
Wyoming |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Receiver. Austyn
Carta-Samuels has to throw to someone.
After hitting the jackpot and getting a quarterback
who could play right away last year, the Cowboys now
need to upgrade the passing game with more dangerous
targets. JUCO transfers Mazi Ogbonna and DeJay
Lester need to be a big part of the offense right
away, while C.J. Morgan will be a speedy target who
could be the No. 1 in the near future. On the other
side of the ball, JUCO transfer Austin Daniels might
start right away at one corner.
8.
UNLV
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Key defensive
linemen. Bobby Hauck didn't have much time to put
together the recruiting class he might have wanted,
but he did a good job of sprinkling in some star
prospects with the bulk. Only two defensive linemen
were brought in, but tackle Desmond Tautofi could be
a cornerstone tackle while Ian Bobak should be a
pass rushing terror with a little bit of time.
Overall, Houck wants a more physical team, and this
class should be a good start.
9.
Colorado State |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Defensive
linemen. LB Charles Favors might be the star of this recruiting class, but the Rams need a few linemen to shine.
With all the quarterbacks brought in last
year finding more signal calling prospects wasn't a
pressing need, but the Rams still signed three
decent ones highlighted by Peter Thomas, a big
bomber who'll get a long look this offseason. But
the strength-in-numbers part of the class is on the
defensive line with six players led by end Ra'Shawde
Myers.
