Rank: No. 41 overall, No. 6 offensive tackle
Recruiting Wrap: Prince generally stays away from the media but has made some progress in his recruitment. His final group includes Maryland, Alabama, Ohio State and Florida but Virginia Tech and Penn State are in the conversation. Prince has visited Maryland a number of times and was in College Park again for the Michigan State game last weekend. Alabama currently has his only scheduled official visit, which it supposed to take place in late January. Ohio State and Florida are supposed to be getting official visits and Virginia Tech and Penn State could be getting official visits down the line. Prince has already stated that Maryland will not get an official visit because he has visited there so many times and want to see schools farther away.
Favorite: Maryland
Darkhorse: Alabama

CB
Richmond (Va.) St. Christopher's
Rank: No. 48 overall, No. 6 cornerback
Recruiting Wrap: Taylor has been making the rounds since de-committing from Michigan. LSU, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Miami and Stanford are all in the mix for Taylor, one of the top defensive backs in the country. Ohio State was considered Taylor's leader but at this point they don't have any more room for defensive back in their 2015 class. Taylor has an official visit scheduled to Ohio State later this month but unless something changes the Buckeyes seem to be out of the race. Penn State and LSU also have official visits scheduled with Taylor and the two seem to be the top contenders at this point. Virginia Tech is firmly in the mix and could be getting an official visit even though Taylor has visited Blacksburg a number of times.
Favorite: LSU and Penn State
Dark Horse: Virginia Tech

DT
Suffield (Conn.) Suffield Academy
Rank: No. 53 overall, No. 7 defensive tackle
Recruiting Wrap: Wilkins is another big time recruit that stays away from the media spotlight. He took another big step in his recruitment by scheduling an official visit to Clemson for November 21. Outside of the Tigers, Wilkins is also considering Stanford, Boston College, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and others. Earlier in his recruitment it seemed like Penn State had a lot of momentum but that cooled after an official visit to Stanford back in September. He has scheduled an official visit to Penn State for November 28 and Ohio State and Notre Dame could possibly get official visits. Don't sleep on Boston College either. Wilkins has made the short trip to Chestnut Hill a number of times and they are a legitimate contender for Wilkins.
Favorite: Toss up
Dark Horse: Boston College

CB
Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga
Rank: No. 90 overall, No. 7 cornerback
Recruiting Wrap: After having reneged on commitments to Virginia Tech and Florida, Lewis is focused on Kentucky, Miami, Ole Miss and Washington State with Georgia still in the mix. His first official visit, a surprise visit, went to Washington State. Lewis has become very close with the staff and recognizes their need at defensive back. His next official visits will be to Kentucky (12/12), Ole Miss (1/23) and Miami (1/30). Kentucky is in very good position here. Lewis has visited Lexington before for an unofficial visit and his teammate, Jabari Greenwood, is committed to Kentucky. Watch for Georgia to possibly get an official visit at some point.
Favorite: Kentucky
Dark Horse: Miami
