Rivals100: No. 81-100 updates
Advertisement
Scouting report: Swenson emerged early as a prospect due to being 6-foot-5 and 285 pounds as a freshman. He has continued to develop his game, increasing his foot speed and sharpening his technique to become a very well-rounded offensive tackle prospect.
Latest: An offer from Alabama is getting a look from Swenson, but he says he is still 95-99 percent committed to Michigan, where he initially pledged in the fall of his sophomore year.
Leaders: Committed to Michigan
83
OG
Lakeland (Fla.) Lake Gibson
Scouting report: Johnson has bulked up in recent months, but he wears the added weight relatively well and still has tremendous footwork for his size. He stays in front of thinner defensive linemen and has the power to dig in and stifle them at the point of attack.
Latest: Johnson, who earned MVP honors at the Rivals Camp Series: Miami, committed to Florida State on March 11.
Leaders: Johnson has a Florida State tattoo and is likely to honor his verbal commitment to the Seminoles.
84
DT
Killeen (Texas) Shoemaker
Scouting report: Jones is as strong as they come and he is naturally very disruptive in the middle. His size allows him to take up space.
Latest: Jones recently attended junior day at Texas, and has been taking other trips around the area.
Leaders: Jones is currently keeping an open mind.
Way-too-early prediction: Texas
85
DE
Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy
Scouting report: Barrow has tremendous length and a quick first step that makes him a dangerous pass rusher. So while he may take the occasional play off, he shows himself to be a top-level athlete when the need arises. Barrow has plenty of gifts and he seems to be refining them well.
Latest: Barrow hasn't competed in many camps this offseason, but he recently named Ohio State as his leader. Penn State and Michigan State are also involved, but trail the Buckeyes for the time being.
Leaders: Ohio State
Way-too-early prediction: Ohio State
86
ATH
Torrance (Calif.) North
Scouting report: Juarez is a crucial cog in all three phases for Torrance North and can be utilized all over the field. He plays quarterback, but probably projects as a college linebacker. The four-star is fast, aggressive, covers ground quickly and does an excellent job making plays whether it's on offense, defense or special teams.
Latest: Juarez is not a regular on the camp or 7-on-7 scene and has not been to any of the big-time off-season events yet. He has been invited to the Rivals Camp Series: Los Angeles in May.
Leaders: Juarez is committed to USC.
87
DE
Hope, Ark.
Scouting report: Agim has an explosive first step and shoots his hands well. He is strong at the point of attack and he does a nice job of fighting through blocks.
Latest: Agim recently visited Arkansas and he has also visited LSU and Baylor. He has recently added an offer from LSU. He will also compete at the Rivals Camp Series: Dallas.
Leaders: He is not naming leaders right now and he is keeping an open mind.
Way-too-early prediction: Arkansas
88
QB
Crawfordville (Fla.) Wakulla
Scouting report: At 6-foot-6, Franks looks the part. He also lives up to his look on most occasions. When he is on, it's clear Franks is one of the top quarterbacks in the 2016 class. His arm is strong, but he also throws with touch. He can fit the ball through tight windows and has a solid throwing motion. His battle is with consistency, as he is still plagued by the occasional off day when it comes to accuracy.
Latest: Franks committed to LSU last summer.
Leaders: Franks remains solidly committed to LSU.
89
S
Nashville (Tenn.) Father Ryan
Scouting report: Williams is a long, physical defensive back who looks like he could play either safety or cornerback at the next level. There are few players his size that can turn and run like he does, making him a rare prospect.
Leaders: Auburn, Ohio State, Tennessee.
Way-too-early prediction: Tennessee
90
ATH
Springhill (La.) North Webster
Scouting report: White has a unique blend of size and athelicism. On offense, he is a big back, but he definitely has speed. On defense, he has the quickness and lateral movment to stay with guys half his size.
Latest: White has visited Texas A&M, Ole Miss, LSU, Alabama, and Arkansas in the last few months, and he will attend the Rivals Camp Series: Dallas on March 29. The most recent offers have arrived from UCLA and Tulane.
Leaders: White is not ready to name a leader at this point, but LSU, Alabama, and Ole Miss are a few schools to watch.
Way-too-early prediction: Ole Miss
91
QB
Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic
Scouting report: Last season, Guarantano did not get much help from his teammates, but he was still able to show off his impressive skill set. He is very mobile and has very good straight-line speed. When he's able to stand tall in the pocket, he is very accurate, reads defenses well and when the pocket breaks down, he knows how to escape trouble.
Latest: For a long time, it looked like Ohio State had all of the momentum, and then the momentum switched to Rutgers and then most recently Tennessee. Guarantano will be in Knoxville early next week for a couple days and it would not be surprising if he committed. Ohio State is pushing to get him on campus one more time, but if it is not scheduled before he gets to Knoxville, it could spell trouble for the Buckeyes.
Leaders: Tennessee, Ohio State, Rutgers
Way-too-early prediction: Tennessee
92
LB
Roswell, Ga.
Scouting report: Lamar is a throwback to days of massive, bone-crushing inside linebackers. For a player his size he moves very well in space and is among the top prospects at his position.
Latest: Lamar has been busy, recently visiting Auburn, Duke and several others.
Leaders: Clemson, Auburn, Alabama.
Way-too-early prediction: Clemson
93
DT
Metairie (La.) Rummel
Scouting report: Guidry has the size and athleticism to play any position along the line of scrimmage and he could fit in many defensive schemes.
Latest: Guidry added an offer from Alabama at the end of February after a trip to Tuscaloosa. He plans to visit Arkansas and Tennessee in the near future.
Leaders: Guidry committed early to Mississippi State, but he is wide open now. He claims no leaders at this point.
Way-too-early prediction: LSU
94
CB
Metairie (La.) Rummel
Scouting report: Fulton is one of the best when it comes to knowing where the ball is going and how to get there. He has tremendous change of direction and ball skills.
Latest: He attended Ole Miss and LSU junior days and he is looking to visit UCLA, USC, Texas A&M, Georgia and Florida. His most recent offer arrived from Arizona State.
Leaders: Fulton is close to releasing a list of top schools in the next month or so, but he is not ready to narrow his options right now.
Way-too-early prediction: LSU
95
CB
Charlotte (N.C.) Hough
Scouting report: Osborne has that "it" factor. He always seems to be in the right place at the right time and has a knack for making big plays. Osborne has great size and length at the cornerback position and his reaction speed is top-notch. His ability to be physical with any receiver, big or small, and make aggressive tackles makes receivers want to shy away from him.
Latest: There was not much intrigue involved in Osborne's recruitment. Tennessee was the leader from day one and Osborne was not hesitant about committing. There have been rumors of visits to other schools, but they always seem to fade away. That could be something to keep an eye on if Tennessee's season goes south.
Leaders: Osborne is committed to Tennessee.
96
DE
Camden, N.J.
Scouting report: Johnson has gotten a couple of inches taller since the beginning of last season and it will surely help his game. His strength at the point of attack is undeniable and he's able to shed blockers and make the play. As a pass rusher, he can go to the inside, outside or bull rush. As his repertoire expands, the Johnson could end up moving up the rankings.
Latest: Johnson is another player that needs to take more visits before he can do anything drastic in his recruitment. A couple of schools have already gotten him on campus and Penn State and Ohio State seem to have made a real impression on him. Notre Dame is one of his newer offers and he seems to be very intrigued by the Fighting Irish.
Leaders: Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Notre Dame, Wisconsin.
Way-too-early prediction: Penn State
97
DT
Jackson, Ga.
Scouting report: Carter is a big, physical defensive tackle who moves like a player half his size. His strength and explosion inside are impressive and make him an elite prospect at his position.
Latest: Jackson keeps a low profile on the recruiting trail, but recently visited Clemson with his family and gave the trip high marks.
Leaders: Clemson, Alabama, Georgia.
Way-too-early prediction: Clemson
98
ATH
Bowman (Ga.) Elbert County
Scouting report: Hardman is one of the most explosive players in the country and has the talent to be an elite slot receiver or a lockdown cornerback.
Latest: Hardman has visited both Tennessee and Georgia over the past month and the two SEC schools appear to be at the teams to beat.
Leaders: Tennessee was Hardman's leader for months, but now he claims the Vols and Georgia are "co-leaders."
Way-too-early prediction: Tennessee
99
ATH
Fontana (Calif.) Summit
Scouting report: Alloway is the perfect example of why Rivals.com has an athlete category. The four-star could play running back, slot receiver or cornerback and he thrives at all those positions along with being a return specialist. He is super fast and shifty, tough to defend because he can slip by any cornerback or sneak behind defenders for big plays.
Latest: Alloway was a big part in Ground Zero's championship run at the recent Las Vegas Pylon 7-on-7. He is planning some unofficial visits and will attend the Rivals Camp Series: Los Angeles in May.
Leaders: UCLA is still the frontrunner for the four-star athlete, but if Oregon offers then all bets are off. Alloway has been intrigued by the Ducks' offense for a long time.
Way-too-early prediction: UCLA
100
WR
Warner Robins, Ga.
Scouting report: Callaway is a versatile athlete who has shown that he can excel at both defensive back and wide receiver. With his size and ball skills, he ultimately projects better to offense, but it wouldn't be a shock to see him play defense at the next level.
Latest: Callaway has an early top five of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.
Leaders: Georgia remains the odds-on favorite to land Callaway.
Way-too-early prediction: Georgia
