OLB | 6-2 / 200
St. Francis DeSales (OH)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 47
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 7/9/09
Committed Over: Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, West Virginia, Wisconsin
Scouting Report: High school safety with great instincts. Has solid overall speed and athleticism and when projecting to linebacker, his coverage skills will be an asset. He is an explosive hitter who looks for contact, but sometimes goes too much for the knockout blow. Does a good job of getting around blockers, but adding strength and bulk to his frame will be keys in his continued transition to linebacker. - Allen Trieu
CB | 6-0 / 175
Lincoln (OH)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 132
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 12/13/09

Ibraheim Campbell
RB | 6-0 / 190
Chestnut Hill (PA)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 87
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 11/24/09
Committed Over: Boston College, Michigan State, Richmond, Stanford, Temple, Vanderbilt
Scouting Report: Campbell has tremendous balance and an uncanny ability to stay on his feet and break through tacklers. He runs behind his pads and will make very subtle moves in the open field to make people miss. His vision both through the hole and in the open field is impressive. Campbell also does a nice job catching the ball and in pass blocking. He does have a solid burst, however top end speed and an extra gear is something he seems to lack. – Matt Alkire
Chance Carter
DE | 6-4 / 250
Loyola (IL)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 61
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 10/19/09
Committed Over: California, Indiana, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oregon, Stanford
Scouting Report: Has a great frame and athleticism for the position. Has a long, lean build and good overall speed and agility. Needs to add size and strength as he is more of a finesse pass rusher and needs to get stronger against the run. - Allen Trieu
QB | 6-1 / 185
Cherry Creek (CO)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 49
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 1/14/10
Committed Over: Air Force, Akron, Arizona State, Colorado, Nebraska, Stanford, TCU, Wyoming
Scouting Report: Colter is an interesting mix smooth athleticism, toughness and smarts. The son of a former D1 player and HS coach, he displays excpetional field awarness. This, with great vision, allows him to stay a step ahead at any position he plays. Not blazing fast but gets to full speed in a hurry and shows great change of direction. Super smooth athlete that could play multiple positions. Safety or slot receiver could be a possibility. Needs to bulk up.

Cypress Creek (TX)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 72
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 8/25/09
Committed Over: Baylor, Duke, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Stanford, Texas Tech, Wake Forest
Scouting Report: Does not have great size for an inside defensive lineman but plays bigger because of his abilities to disengage and find the ball. Can make tackles outside the offensive tackles and has good instincts on the screen passes. Can dominate smaller linemen with his strength and give problems to bigger linemen because of his quickness.
Daniel Jones
CB | 5-10 / 164
Florida State University (FL)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 235
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 11/21/09
Committed Over: Delaware, Elon, Florida International, Georgia State
Scouting Report: Jones is very smart and understands how to play the game really well. He has good cover skills and does a great job of anticipating and breaking on the ball. He has experience playing both corner and safety. He's a bit small still and will need to bulk up, add strength, and become a better tackler. -- Mike Bakas
WR | 6-0 / 180
Grand Blanc Community (MI)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 85
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 8/7/09
Committed Over: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan State, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest
Scouting Report: Jones has fantastic explosion and run after the catch ability. He is elusive, quick and can make people miss in the open field. He has good straight line speed and can run away from the pack. His hands are solid and he does show ability to make catches in traffic. However, he needs to get bigger and stronger, which will help him beat press coverage and improve his blocking. - Allen Trieu
OT | 6-7 / 260
Dewitt (MI)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 84
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 7/1/09
Committed Over: Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Florida, Michigan State, Stanford, Toledo
Scouting Report: Has a big frame and good athleticism to go along with it. Moves and bends well for kid with his height. He needs to fill out and get stronger as well as finish blocks with more authority, but he has high upside.
Rashad Lawrence
WR | 6-1 / 190
Olympia (FL)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 97
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 6/27/09
Committed Over: Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami (Fl), USC
Scouting Report: Lawrence runs great routes and knows how to get open. He catches everything thrown in his direction and he's a big target at 6-1 plus. He's been playing in a pass-happy offense the last few years as well. He's not a burner, though. -- Mike Bakas
WR | 5-10 / 160
St. Pius X (TX)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 217
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 1/20/10
Committed Over: Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Houston, Louisiana, Rice, SMU, Vanderbilt

Commit Date: 10/28/09
QB | 6-3 / 180
Olympia (FL)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 33
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 6/21/09
Committed Over: Duke, East Carolina, North Carolina State, Rutgers, Syracuse, Tennessee
Scouting Report: One of the top QB prospects in the entire state, Siemian has a decent arm, excellent athletic ability to make plays with his feet, and he was ultra productive in the Orlando area over the last few years. He's also an excellent baseball player. -- Mike Bakas
Adonis Smith
RB | 5-11 / 185
Junipero Serra (CA)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 62
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 1/24/10
Committed Over: California, Fresno State, Idaho, San Diego State, Utah, Washington State
Brandon Vitabile
C | 6-3 / 295
Bishop George Ahr St Thomas (NJ)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 17
Committed to: NORTHWESTERN
Commit Date: 7/21/09
Committed Over: Boston College, Michigan State, Rutgers, Stanford, Syracuse, Vanderbilt
Scouting Report: Vitabile is very mechanically sound for a player coming out of high school and could play any of the three interior line positions. He shows good knee-bend, gets his hands on his opponent and anchors well in pass protection. He is a physical player that also does well in the run game, especially with how quick his feet are. Isn't a bully, but definitely plays with a chip on his shoulder and is a technician. Looks to have short arms. - Matt Alkire
