Quarterback - D'Vontrey Richardson^ 6-1, 210, 4.5, Leesburg Lee Co, GA - Richardson is the best Michael Vick clone that I have seen since the real one.

Tailback - Andre Harris^ 6-0, 217, 4.47, Woodland Hills Taft, CA - Harris is just now transferring from Pacific Palisades Charter to Taft.

"Hanna was the best offensive lineman I saw last season," said Recruiting Analyst Bob Lichenfels, "and he is a 300-pound kid who goes whistle to whistle nonstop. He has amazing feet; he’s like a dancing bear. Hanna could be a devastating guard at the next level, because he has uncanny athleticism, and agility." He has early offers from Pittsburgh, Maryland, Rutgers, Illinois, and Duke and many more are on the way. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Offensive Guard – John Romero^ 6-4, 300, 5.0, Tucson Salpointe Catholic, AZ – Romero is unbleivablever on film and he could turn-out to be one of the top five offensive linemen in the country.

Offensive Guard – JerMarcus Ricks 6-4, 285, 5.1, Leighton Colbert Co, AL – Ricks will vie with Andre Smith as the top offensive lineman in Alabama and the entire South this year.

Offensive Guard - Bryant Browning, 6-3, 328, 5.2, Cleveland Glenville, OH - Browning has all of the tools to become a great offensive lineman that is recruited from coast-to-coast. Browning was one of the most impressive physical specimens at the Blacksburg NIKE CAMP and he was so impressive in the drills, I asked him if he would like to play in our All-American Bowl Game and he accepted. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Offensive Guard – J.B. Walton 6-3, 265, 5.0, White Plains Lackey, MD – Walton is not the biggest offensive linemen in the 2005 recruiting class, but he still is one of the most polished and mechanically sound with excellent mobility, agility, and ability. He already has ten or more offers from some “big-time” schools
Offensive Guard - Kevin Perez^ 6-4, 285, 5.1, Miami Killian, FL - Perez is a good-looking offensive lineman who helped Killian win the 6A State Championship in 2004. He plays left tackle in high school, and he was their #1 offensive lineman in 2004, but will probably be a guard at the next level. He was selected to the 2005 Pre-Season Florida All-Class All-State Team and he is probably one of the Top 15 offensive guard prospects in the country. He is very aggressive on film. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Offensive Guard – Justin Anderson 6-4, 320, 5.2, Ocilla Irwin Co, GA – Anderson is a tremendous run-blocker with a massive arm-span.

Offensive Guard - Po'u Palelei^ 6-3, 320, 5.3, Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, NV - Palelei is only a sophomore, but I thought that he was a junior when I watched him on film blocking for Demarco Murray. Palelei is "big-time" so I have decided to keep him in this Elite 125. He still is the number one offensive lineman on a team that has one of the top running backs in the country on it in Murray. Both Murray and Palelei had banner seasons last year and should team together again this year. Both made the All-Region Team.
Offensive Center - John Anest^ 6-2, 272, 5.1, Parker Ponderosa, CO - Anest may be the best pure center prospect in the entire country. His highlight film is spectacular and I can't ever remember a more dominating center. He plays on a run oriented team and he is always looking to make the second block. His team also operates about 20% out of the shotgun and he is an excellent shotgun snapper. His team won the 5A State Championship in 2003 when he was only a sophomore.

(2006 All-American Bowl)
Offensive Center – Kevin McCaskill^ 6-3, 290, 5.2, Tallahassee Godby, FL – McCaskill is an outstanding center prospect who can play any of the other offensive line positions. On film, he is very active and very physical. He is also a great shotgun snapper which will make East All-American Bowl Game Coach Keith Barefield real happy. McCaskill will be a rare four-year starter. He has early offers from Illinois and Louisville. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Tight End – Jermaine Gresham^ 6-7, 230, 4.55, Ardmore, OK – Gresham may be the largest wide receiver on the planet. He may play tight end in college, but he is a wide receiver in high school. I think that this guy can play wide reciver in college. Gresham grabbed 52 passes for 836-yards and scored four touchdowns, although he was double-teamed on every single play.
Tight End – Konrad Reuland 6-6, 242, 4.7, Mission Viejo, CA – Reuland is a great pass-catching tight end that grabbed 47 balls for 818-yards and 7 touchdowns.

He has early offers from USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas. Ole Miss, and Duke.
Tight End – Richard Dickson^ 6-4, 245, 4.65, Ocean Springs, MS – Dickson is an outstanding pass-catching tight end and he helped lead his team into the Mississippi 5A State Championship game.

Dickson already has several offers including LSU, Mississipppi State, Ole Miss, Memphis, and Louisville.
Tight End – Paddy Mullen^ 6-5, 265, 4.72, St Louis De Smet, MO – Mullen played mostly defense as a junior, but he will also play tight end as a senior. He recorded 55 tackles, had 9 sacks, and 15 tackles for a loss. Mullen has his motor running for the whole 48 minutes. He has already gotten offers from Nebraska, Missouri, and Michigan State. I really like this kid. (NOTRE DAME VERBAL)
Tight End - Lee Smith^ 6-5, 250, 4.7, Powell, TN - Smith is one of the most dominating two-way players that I have seen play this year. Whether at tight end on offense or defensive end on defense, Smith is a real "beast" and is simply devastating to his opponent. On offense, this big guy only caught 21 passes, but they were for 420-yards, 6 touchdowns, and it was for a pretty hefty 20.0-yards per catch average for a huge tight end. On defense, he recorded 55 tackles and 9 sacks. His dad, Daryl Smith, played for the Tennessee Vols and also in the NFL and is currently the offensive line coach at Powell. (TENNESSEE VERBAL) (2006 All-American Bowl)

Tight End – Britt Mitchell^ 6-5, 242, 4.78, Kilgore, TX – Mitchell may be the best blocking tight end in the country as he recorded the key block on many of the Kilgore running plays, as they were the Texas 4A State Champions with a perfect 16-0 record. (TEXAS VERBAL)

Tight End - Preston Dial^ 6-4, 242, 4.7, Mobile UMS-Wright, AL - Dial is great pass-catching tight end who caught 17 balls as junior for 417-yards for a hefty 24.5 yards per catch average. He actually runs on the 4x100 relay team at 242 pounds. I really like this kid. He gave up baseball as a junior to run track so he could get faster for football. Dial has early offers from Florida State, Southern Miss and West Virginia. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Tight End - Joe Halahuni^ 6-3, 220, 4.6, Orting, WA - Halahuni is a speedy tight end who caught 38 balls for 1,062-yards and an amazing 27.9-yards per catch average.

Tight End - Dylan Rush 6-3, 230, 4.6, Kona Konawaena, HI - Rush is an incredible athlete who is already a two-time Hawaii State Champ Wrestler. The bad news is that he is in the 215-pound weight class and after every football season, he has to lose 20-25 pounds to get to his wrestling weight. He won the 215 crown as a sophomore last season and a junior this season. Rush also excels in football as a two-way starter and is a track and field athlete and an outstanding weightlifter. Tennessee, Colorado, and Stanford are recruiting him right now and all three are on the verge of an offer. (UCLA VERBAL) (2006 All-American Bowl)
Tight End - Zach Kandrick^ 6-5, 255, 4.7, Winchester Millbrook, VA - Kandrick is a natural tight end phenom who is playing in a run oriented offense. He made only 13 catches as a junior, and averaged 17.5 yards per catch, but he was very impressive when he got his chance. He scored 23 points in a recent basketball game, but his upside potential is off of the charts as a pass-catching tight end at the next level. I really like this kid and I have invited him to participate in my 2006 All-American Bowl Game Classic and he has accepted. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Tight End - Josh Robinson^ 6-4, 248, 4.65, Tioga, LA - Robinson was a sophomore sensational, along with Charles Scott, at Jonesboro Hodge. Robinson and Scott were also very impressive at the 2004 7 on 7 National Championship in Denton. About a week after Robinson returned from Denton, his mom passed away and he was forced to move to Tioga to live with him aunt. He has now re-surfaced and with a 425 bench press. He will attend the 2005 7 on 7 National Championship in Fort Worth. Robinson has as much upside potential as any tight end in the country and he should be heavily recruited if the coaches can find him.

Utility – Munir Prince^ 5-10, 180, 4.3, Saint Louis DeSmet Catholic, MO – Prince was hampered by some injuries as a junior, but he still rushed for 986-yards, caught 8 passes for 126-yards and had 21 tackles on defense as he was selected to the St Louis All-Metro Team.

(NOTRE DAME VERBAL)
Utility - Aaron Smith^ 6-0, 185, 4.4, Monroeville Gateway, PA - Smith is an outstanding athletic quarterback in high school, but he is being recruited to play either wide receiver or cornerback in college. "Smith is the cousin of Justin King (Penn State); Josh Lay (Pittsburgh); and Ty Law (Patriots)," said Head Coach Terry Smith, " and he may be the best of the bunch." His dad also played for West Virginia. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Utility - Anthony Summers^ 6-3, 200, 4.5, Olive Branch, MS - Anthony Summers, not to be confused with his brother Markeith Summers, is an outstanding athletic quarterback, but will probably move to wide receiver in college.

Utility – Brandon Heath 6-0, 180, 4.4, Palm Beach Lakes, FL – Heath is an exceptional athlete who can play a lot of positions at the next level. He was the "big-play" guy for his team as a junior and he will be that guy again as a senior.
Utility - Lance Lacoste^ 6-3, 190, 4.5, New Orleans Holy Cross, LA -
Lacoste looks pretty spectacular catching the football on his highlight film. He is the best athlete in the school and he has started on the football, basketball and baseball teams since he was a sophomore. As a junior, he came within 9-yards of breaking the single season pass receiving record of Richard Lyons who set the record in 2003. If Lacoste played receiver as a senior, he would become the Holy Cross all-time leading receiver, but he will play quarterback as a senior. He will probably pass for around 2,000-yards and run for around 1,000 more yards as a senior. Right now, he is being recruited as an athlete or as a wide receiver, but after they see him play quarterback, they may be recruiting him as a quarterback. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Flanker - Vidal Hazelton 6-3, 200, 4.5, Staten Island Moore Catholic, NY - Hazelton may be the #1 player in New York this year.

Flanker – Ricky Dixon^ 6-2, 210, 4.46, Reserve East St John, LA – Dixon caught 66 passes from Ryan Perrilloux for 1,218-yards and 16 touchdowns. Dixon also had five interceptions on the defensive-side of the ball as he never came off of the field in the 5A playoffs. Next year, Dixon will take over for Perrilloux at quarterback and although he might turn-out to be a great quarterback, I still feel that he is more of an impact player as a big wide receiver. He has early offers from Florida, Florida State, Tennessee, LSU, UCLA, and Michigan State.
Flanker – Markeith Summers^ 6-4, 200, 4.45, Olive Branch, MS – Summers may be the most amazing wide receiver in the country. He only caught 21 balls for 649-yards and 7 touchdowns, but that is a fabulous average of 30.1-yards per catch and he was selected to the All-Region Team for his feats.

His highlight tape is sensational. Patrick Turner, Tennell, Hawthorne, and Slaughter are the best big receivers that I have seen in a long time. Fulmer, Cannon, Summers and Lofton are very close.
Flanker - Chris Fulmer^ 6-2, 185, 4.48, Nitro, WV - Fulmer was mind-boggling as a sophomore when he was selected to the 3A All-State Team when he set a State record with 109 catches for 1,576-yards and 15 touchdowns, including 99 catches during regular season. As a junior, he grabbed 66 balls for 1,033-yards and 7 touchdowns, although his quarterback was injured for most of the season. Fulmer already has 244 receptions (9th all time nationally) for 3,537 yards and 29 Touchdowns. He only needs 59 more receptions to break the national mark of 302 and baring injury, he should be able to reach that mark. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Flanker - Adrian Cannon^ 6-3, 195, 4.5, Auburn Hills Avondale, MI - I have just recently received a highlight film on Cannon, and I'm going to shock you by saying that he is as good as any wide receiver in America.

His dad is NFL Hall of Fame great James Lofton and current wide receivers coach for the San Diego Chargers, so he certainly has great bloodlines. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Flanker – Audrey Baskin 6-4, 205, 4.4, Camden Wilson, NJ – Baskin grabbed 31 passes and scored 8 touchdowns. This guy reminds a lot of people of another Randy Moss with his size and speed.

Flanker – Kevin Hagans 6-2, 200, 4.47, Franklin, WI – Hagans had a sensational junior year when he grabbed 38 balls for 1,098-yards and an average of 28.8-yards per catch. Hagans could be one of the top receivers in the country before he graduates. (2006 All-American Bowl)

Athlete – Darnell Pratt^ 6-4, 210, 4.5, Syracuse Nottingham, NY – Pratt has as much upside potential as any player in the country and he could very easily be the #1 wide receiver in the Northeast. I recently saw film on Pratt and based upon his film, I have moved him up to the Elite125. Pratt is also a fabulous basketball player who averages around 21 points per game.
DEFENSE
Quick Defensive End – Ricky Sapp 6-5, 230, 4.45, Bamberg-Ehrhardt, SC – Sapp may be the biggest and fastest defensive end in the country with a 10.6 in the 100-meters.

Physically, Graves has all of the tools to play in the NFL.
Strong Defensive End - Jermaine Williams^ 6-4, 255, 4.65, Phoenix Maryvale, AZ - Williams had a great junior year and he is a real beast on either side of the ball.

Strong Defensive End - Lazaricus Livingston^ 6-5, 255, 4.65, Ruston, LA - Livingston was a sophomore sensation and a true phenom. He hurt his ACL as a junior and did not play.

He had just picked-off a pass deflection and was headed for the endzone. (2006 All-American Bowl)
Nose Guard - Ben Alexander^ 6-1, 290, 4.9, Anderson Hanna, SC - Alexander is the perfect nose tackle or nose guard that every school is looking for, because he is built real low to the ground and you just can't block him.

Safety – Taylor Mays 6-3, 210, 4.41, Seattle O’Dea, WA – Mays is a real “freak of nature” in that he is a Washington State 100 meter champion and he patrols the O’Dea secondary with sprinters speed and vicious hits.
