Bio: No. 4 overall, the No. 1 running back and the No. 1 recruit from Louisiana in 2014, Fournette was regarded as a heavy LSU lean for quite some time and ended any drama with a public commitment during the Under Armour All-America Game. The relationship that he developed with the Tigers' coaching staff, which had offered him as a freshman, was too much for Alabama and Texas to overcome at the end. At LSU as a true freshman last fall, Fournette didn't necessarily burst onto the scene immediately. He definitely left everyone wanting more by the conclusion, finishing with 1,034 yards and 10 touchdowns. Fournette's bowl performance against Notre Dame was impressive with 143 rushing yards and two touchdowns, plus two kickoff returns for 122 yards and another score. Could his premature Heisman pose as a freshman be a premonition?

Farrell's take: We were obviously taken with Fournette as he was the highest-ranked running back since Bryce Brown was No. 1 in 2009 and stardom was expected. But I was a bit turned off by some comparisons to Adrian Peterson in the industry because I wasn't sure he had the top-end speed to be in the same ballpark. Then the Notre Dame game happened and I was eating my words. Time will tell if he becomes the best running back since Peterson, but for now he looks like a sure thing for stardom and a great college and NFL career. Aside from my question about his high-end speed and ability to score from long distances at the next level, Fournette clearly had everything you wanted in a back coming out of high school.

Bio: No. 2 overall, the No. 1 weakside defensive end and the No. 1 recruit from Texas in 2014, Garrett originally had plans to take official visits to Texas A&M, Ohio State, Alabama and Florida State. However as his senior season began those plans changed. As Garrett realized that he would like to stay closer to home, TCU became a major player. With the stress of the process getting to him, Garrett committed to Texas A&M over TCU in mid-October. Garrett's freshman season in College Station was jaw-dropping, as he finished second in the SEC with 11.5 sacks, plus added 14 tackles for a loss and a blocked kick that was returned for a touchdown. A great deal is obviously expected out of Garrett, who should be the focus of every offensive line he faces this fall. The sky is the limit for him though, as his combination of speed, strength and athleticism is off the charts.

Farrell's take: There was a heated debate in regards to who was No. 1 in the class of 2014 with many, including Mid-South analyst Jason Howell, firmly believing it was Garrett. In the end it was decided, and I was a big part of this, that Alabama sophomore Da'Shawn Hand should remain No. 1 in the end and Garrett would be No. 2. So far that is looking like a bit of a blunder. Garrett is a special player and if he exceeds his freshman year over the next two seasons, we could be looking at a Jadeveon Clowney-like ascension to No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft - he's that long, athletic and special.

Bio: Scooby Wright was a two-star recruit and was not ranked nationally at his position or in California in 2013. Arizona was the first school to offer Wright, who definitely fell beneath the radar of every other college coach and also recruiting analysts. Wright surprised everyone with a very productive freshman season, finishing with 83 tackles and 9.5 tackles for a loss. However, nobody expected his accomplishments in 2014. Finishing with 163 tackles, 29 tackles for a loss, which led the country, 14 sacks and six forced fumbles, Wright quickly became a name that every college football fan knew about. What can he accomplish this season as an encore is what everyone is wondering now.

Farrell's take: Ouch, we are taking this one on the chin and I love the fact that Scooby has used the perceived disrespect as motivation, even making his Twitter handle @TwoStarScoob. A filled-out linebacker from Northern California in high school, his height and speed were questioned but you can't account for his natural instincts. He knows where the ball is going at all times and finds the best path to it consistently, something we just didn't see on high school film. Arizona can brag about this one for a long time.
