COPPELL, Texas – It’s our job at Rivals.com to cut through all the noise and zero in on where the nation’s top players will end up playing their college football. Sometimes when it comes to searching for information, the best intel comes from fellow elite prospects. At Sunday’s Dallas stop of the Rivals 3 Stripe Camp Series presented by adidas, we surveyed several players about where five elite prospects will eventually land. Here are the results.

THE PLAYER: Ja'Quinden Jackson
WHY: "He's always tweeting about one of them. He can literally play any position, so I can see him at either one of those schools." - Collin Sullivan
*****
THE PICK: LSU
WHY: "He said he enjoyed the visit. He said he likes LSU, so I'm just assuming." - Zeriah Beason
*****
THE PICK: Oklahoma
WHY: "It seems like a popular place for guys at his position. I don't see him playing quarterback in college. Maybe he's more of a wide receiver, maybe a running back. I see him as the same type of football player as Drew Sanders, and Oklahoma is a nice school to go to." - Ken Seals
****
THE PICK: Texas
WHY: "It looked like he enjoyed his visit there." - Darius Snow
****
WHY: It's Clemson or 'Bama, one of them. Just look at him. He could go to the league right now. He can go straight from high school." - Lorando Johnson
*****
THE PICK: Texas
WHY: "I see him there and it looks like it's a good fit for him." - Jalen Kimber
THE PLAYER: Javian Hester
THE PICK: Iowa State or Texas
WHY: “J.J., I’d say he’ll pick the University of Texas or Iowa State, just because that’s his type of play. They like throwing the deep ball and he’s really good at getting the deep ball. They have really good quarterbacks at those two places, so I could see him going to either of those.” - Korbyn Green
*****
THE PICK: Arkansas
WHY: “I feel like Arkansas. Him, Sevion Morrison and Myles Slusher want to stay together because they have that bond and I feel like they really like the Hill.” - Keuan Parker
*****
THE PICK: Arkansas
WHY: “I just think it’s a great fit for him. He’s a good receiver and I feel like (Arkansas) is for him.” - Krishawn Brown
THE PLAYER: Chris Thompson
WHY: "Texas or Texas A&M, if he stays in Texas. Florida or LSU, if he wants to get out of the state." - Snow
****
THE PICK: Stanford
WHY: "I'm gonna say Stanford for him. I know he's very smart, an intellectual kid. He's book smart and he takes that very seriously." - Beason
*****
THE PICK: Texas
WHY: "I'm just guessing on that one, but I'll go with Texas." - Sullivan
THE PLAYER: Lorando Johnson
THE PICK: Florida
WHY: "I don't know why, but I've seen him at camps. Based on what I see, he's that kind of dude. I think he'd fit in over there." - Ja'qwondis Burns
*****
THE PICK: Texas A&M
WHY: "It seems like it would be a great fit for him. He's a long, defensive back that's tall and athletic." - Beason
*****
THE PICK: LSU
WHY: "He's from Louisiana, so LSU. Maybe Arkansas or somewhere like that." - Snow
THE PLAYER: Myles Slusher
THE PICK: Texas A&M
WHY: “Anywhere is a good fit for him. I’d say Texas A&M, maybe.” - Javian Hester
*****
THE PICK: Arkansas
WHY: “I think all of them (Slusher, Hester and Morrison) are going to Arkansas. I feel Myles is a great fit in the SEC as physical of a player as he is.” - Brown
*****
THE PICK: Alabama
WHY: “Alabama all the way. That’s what fits for him.” - Te’Zohn Taft
*****
THE PICK: Michigan
WHY: “He is a tough one. He has offers from schools like LSU and Alabama, but I feel like he is going to go to a school like Michigan. I feel Michigan would be a good fit for him because he’s good in run support.” - Green
*****
THE PICK: Arkansas
WHY: “The same (as Hester) – Arkansas.” - Parker
