These guys come from various backgrounds and talent levels, but we believe they have what it takes to make to the next phase of college football. Everyone single one of these gifted athletes has at least two attributes that coaches would love to have on a major college football program. Some of them are under-the-radar, others are studs, but a solid majority of them have no scholarships (as of now), yet tremendous athletic potential, and prowess. We will update this post with video feed via hudl.com, and youtube (Warning: Some of the Video contain explicit language, please set your volume accordingly) on most, if not all of the football prospects asap Enjoy the list, and find your next future football star!

-The list is also subject to change so feedback is greatly appreciated !!

• 1. DB- Duron Workman- 6'1", 210 lbs. -Saddleback C.C. (Mission Viejo, CA)- Plays smart, reads the QB and dissects plays very quickly. Bottom line, he plays the game how it's supposed to be played. Duran collected 38 tcks, 2 TFL's, and 2 Int's in 2012.

 

• 2. LB- KyJuan Tate- 5'11", 230 lbs. -Butte C.C. (Oroville, CA)- Originally from "Chi-Town" this undersized LB just flat out makes plays, not flashy, but solid technique, especially on tackling and angles. Some D-1 football program will get an under-the-radar play-maker.

 

• 3. DE- Elias Mensah- 6'2", 275 lbs. -College of the Siskiyous (Weed, CA)- A raw project linemen with a quick first step. Has major upside with proper coaching and experience. Elias is originally from Ontario, Canada.

 

• 4. ATH- Tyrin Stone-Davis- 6'2" 190 lbs. -Pierce C.C. (Woodland Hills, CA)- An interesting prospect, who has incredible athletic ability. Tyrin is a true "Freestyle/Improv" type of player, and it's hard to tell tell what position he'd fit on a D-1 level. In high school he did just about everything: Quarterback, Wide-out, Cornerback, and Return Specialist. Twin Brother Tyree, also plays for Pierce. Tyrin already has an SDSU offer, but look for others to come into the mix this summer.

 

• 5. ILB- Jason Sylva- 6'3", 245 lbs. -Dean J.C. (Franklin, MA)- A solid linebacker overall, plays great zone coverage over the middle, very athletic for his build, and displays good tackling technique. Jason has a motor that never quits, he accumulated 55 tcks, 8 TFL's, and 3 sacks as a freshman at Dean J.C. in 2012.

 

• 6. OLB- Leonardo Myers- 6'1", 235 lbs. -Monroe C.C. (Rochester, NY)- Led the Mustangs in tackles as a freshmen, was a quarterback in high school, has good natural athleticism. Leonardo also had 4 TFL's, 2 FF, and 1 FR. Most of the team were freshmen, so look for Monroe CC, and Mr. Myers to improve in 2013.

 

• 7. DB- Chris Riley- 5'9", 170 lbs. -Erie C.C. (Orchard Park, NY)- Solid cover-corner who has quick instincts, and isn't afraid to come up and lay a hit on the ball carrier. Already has Memphis, Navy, and New Mexico offers, and runs a 4.5' 40 yard dash.

 

• 8. OG- Robert McClure- 6'3", 295 lbs- Lackawanna C.C. (Scranton, PA)- Robert has very good footwork, and displays above average blocking technique. This bulldozer always keeps his hands engaged on the block, and does an exceptional job of keeping his legs moving. Robert has always put in work in the weight room benching a 360 lb. max, and an impressive 450 lb. squat max. He's been hearing from schools recently with Colorado and Florida A&M offering scholarships.

 

• 9. RB/KR- DeChevon Hayes- 5'10", 188 lbs. -Lackawanna C.C. (Scranton, PA)- Great acceleration, explosive play-maker: once in open space, he's gone! Solid intangibles who has a nact for the endzone. Had 782 yards rushing, on just 77 attempts for a 10.2 ypc. Also had 8 touchdowns rushing, 1 receiving, and was a game-breaker on special teams, accumulating over 600 kickoff return yards, with 2 TD's.

 

• 10. S- Terrence Bailey- 6'2", 190 lbs. -Mesabi Range C.C. (Virginia, MN)- Terrence is originally from Miami, got immediate playing time for the Norsemen in 2012, and earned MCAC All-Division Honorable Mention by collecting 29 tcks, 1 Int, and 6 BR's. Terrence is also very active within the community, and classroom by helping volunteer at area parks, working w/ kids, while asking a lot of questions to his professors, and building a solid relationship w/ them.

 

• 11. CB/ATH- Rueben Linton- 5'9", 185 lbs. -Minnesota West C.C. (Pipestone, MN)- Rueben is gifted with great speed, which could help him get to the next level in either a D-3, D-2, or D-1 football program. He runs a 4.37 40' yard dash and close's on the the ball carrier very quickly. His pad level stays low when tackling, also a versatile athlete as he returned some punts, and punted for his team. Rueben is one to keep an eye on in 2013, as he could emerge as a "diamond in the rough" prospect.

 

• 12. LB- Nick Hendricks- 6'0", 230 lbs. -Fond Du Lac Ojibwe C.C. (Cloquet, MN)- Fills the gap nicely on running plays, good leadership, plays with a high intensity, racked up 48 tcks, and 6 TFL's as a freshman. His style would definitely be considered a "run-stopper".

 

• 13.DE/OLB- Richard Dorvilus- 6'2", 230 lbs. -Independence C.C. (Independence, KS)- An intriguing prospect who has a major potential upside. Could play OLB at the next level in a 3-4, but Richard's strength is as a speed rusher. Shows tremendous reaction on screens, can get to the QB quickly, disrupting the offenses' flow. Still a bit raw, and could improve his tackling form by getting his pad-level lower. An under-the-radar athlete who could blossom with maturity.

 

• 14. RB- Charles Davis- 5'9", 175 lbs. -Iowa Western C.C. (Council Bluffs, IA)- This stud has it all at the running back position: great vision, jukes, natural instincts, game-breaking speed, and a low-center of gravity. Look for Charles to be a 3-star in months to come. Already has Toledo and Syracuse offers under his belt.

 

• 15. WR- Michael Means- 6'2", 199 lbs. -Iowa Western C.C. (Counsel Bluffs, IA)- A play-maker that was a do-it-all athlete in high school. Excellent vision makes up for his lack of a 'homerun' threat. Shows a very high caliber Football IQ, and work ethic, which will help Michael get to a D-1 college football program. A rising sleeper prospect who could become an impact player in 2013, with Deon Long moving on.

 

• 16. QB- Michael Adens- 6'4", 215 lbs. -Pierce College (Woodland Hills, CA)- Michael shows great footwork in the pocket, and has a great presence on deep throws. He knows how to buy time when the pocket collapses, and find an open receiver down field. Michael also throws on the run very well, but could use some work on stepping into his throws more. Michael's personality would best fit a spread offense attack.

 

• 17. QB- Corey Babb- 6'6", 235 lbs. -Arizona Western C.C. (Yuma, AZ)-Corey is a very accurate passer, putting perfect touch on his throws. He excels on the fade, and deep out patterns, placing the pigskin right on target. However, doesn't display great arm strength, and could trust the pocket more, but his potential is off the charts with size, and length that coaches covet.

 

• 18. QB- Blake Kemp- 6'3", 220 lbs. -Mesa C.C. (Mesa, AZ)- This lefty is a flat out gamer, displays great footwork, proper form keeping the football close to his chest. Blake throws a nice, tight spiral, and can also be a threat on the run, racking up yards. He really looks solid on 3-5 step drops, which is huge in college football with all the freak athletes on d-lines these days.

 

• 19. RB- Marciss Grigsby- -Pasadena C.C. (Pasadena, CA)- This guy is definitely one to watch in 2013, shows great creativity on runs: lowers the shoulder when he needs to, amazing hip swerve to cut-back on defenders, natural athleticism that you cannot coach, runs down-field with intensity.

 

• 20. ATH- Tairen Owens- -Pasadena C.C. (Pasadena, CA)- Tairen is a former UCLA commit, but lost his scholarship, which sent him to Pasadena CC. Due to a loaded backfield, Tairen was converted into a slot receiver and it payed off for him as he collected 21 receptions, for 360 yards, and 3 TD's. It's hard to tell what position he'll play, but this stud showed versatility which will help his recruiting in months to come.

 

• 21. RB- Devon Paye- 5'11", 210 lbs. -New Mexico Military (Roswell, NM)- Devon is a true game-breaker at running back. Kind of reminds us of a Jones-Drew or Darren Sproles. He has great balance, and gave opponents fits in his freshmen year at NMMI. He rushed for 595 yards, with 9 touchdowns, and hauled in 9 receptions for 98 yards as a freshman in 2012. Devon's best assets are with out a question his leg strength, and tackle breaking ability (lateral movement).

 

• 22. RB- Timothy Wright- 5'11", 190 lbs. -Navarro College (Corsicana, TX)- This Texas back has it all, displays tremendous vision, toughness, speed to get around the edge, and superb athletic ability. As long as his grades are in order look for Mr. Wright at a college campus near you in 2014.

 

• 23. WR- Jake Isabel- 5'7", 170 lbs -Chabot College (Hayward, CA)- This firecracker is a true leader and motivator for anyone who has been told they aren't "big enough" to play football. Plays with a unique skill-set, and passion that gets his teammates pumped up. Jake is an in-your-face type of prospect that excels in the slot on intermediate passes to short screens. A real under-the-radar type of recruit that would fit in a spread/read option attack. An intriguing prospect who isn't afraid to lay a hit on defenders.

 

• 24. RB- Travis Lock- 6'0", 215 lbs. -Nassau C.C. (Garden City, NY)- Definitely a "homerun" threat on any given play. Has a nact for the endzone, and yet has the build of a power back. Already holds to offers from Kansas and Syracuse. Note- Arm tackles won't work against Travis. He's got the running back position on lock.

 

• 25. RB DeAndre Mann- 5'10", 205 lbs. -Hartnell C.C. (Salinas, CA)- A Miami boy with a major upside. If you give him an incorrect angle, he's gone! Covets true game-breaking ability, and hits the whole with authority. DeAndre rushed for nearly 1,100 yards and 16 touchdowns as a freshman in 2012. On pace to graduate in December and will have three years to play two following the 2013 football season.

 

• 26. RB- Joshua Mathis- 5'7", 180 lbs. -Pierce College (Woodland Hills, CA)- This "June-bug" is a tough one to see at the line of scrimmage, which makes him a real commodity for any college team. Reminds us of Jaquizz Rogers, above average speed, solid vision, and great cut-back ability. Look for his recruiting to heat up once the 2013 starts up, because he's under the radar at this point.

 

• 27. CB- Brian Johnson- 5'10", 180 lbs. -Foothill College (Los Altos, CA)- Has had a roller coaster career so far, but looks to make a big comeback in 2013. In 2011 Johnson started six games, missing four games with a torn meniscus at cornerback. Johnson recorded 26 total tackles, 13 solo tackles, 4 pass break-ups, 6 passes defended and 2 interceptions. In 2012 Johnson missed the season after a torn MCL receiving a medical redshirt. Doesn't possess prototypical size for the cornerback position but makes up for it with excellent set of athletic skills. Johnson quick feet with fluid hips allow him to defend bigger receivers. Johnson’s best trait is his closing speed which allows him to play off wide receivers. He is probably best suited play over the slot with today’s spread offenses.

 

• 28. ATH/WR- DaQuan Smith- 6'0", 190 lbs. -Hartnell College (Salinas, CA)- DaQuan has all the measurable features you look for in an D-1 athlete. He's tough, athletically gifted, and has a football IQ you cannot coach. Doesn't have elite speed, but very savvy in terms of elusiveness. DaQuan is a 'baller', who will look to build after a strong freshmen season at Hartnell.

 

• 29. WR- Chris Jones- 6'0", 175 lbs. -Navarro College (Corsicana, TX)- Probably the most athletic JUCO receiver there is. Chris displays tremendous acceleration once the ball is in his hands, and really puts pressure on the defense. He can create his own space, which once he has is, look out. A freakish athlete who will contribute immediately on a D-1 football program. Chris can effect the game in many other ways including punt, or kick returns.

 

• 30. WR- J.T. Tolbert- 6'0", 175 lbs. -Ellsworth C.C. (Iowa Falls, IA)- His route running is truly exceptional making him a threat on every play. Has good speed, especially on seam routes over the middle causing chaos in the secondary. A quick, decisive player who is unpredictable, and tough to contain.

 

• 31. WR- Javon Williams- 6'6", 200 lbs. -Iowa Western C.C. (Council Bluffs, IA)- This long, lanky, wide-out has great potential to become an elite player. A downfield threat on deep balls, and the redzone. If he adds 15-20 lbs. of muscle, the sky is the limit for Javon. A former UCLA commit that should have a solid impact on Iowa Western in 2013. Oregon State has already offered him a scholarship, which that number will climb during the season.

 

• 32. WR- Jarvis Bentley- 6'4", 200 lbs. -Itawamba C.C. (Fulton, MS)- Strong athlete, who doesn't need a ton of separation to make receptions. He really blocks terrific downfield, shoving defenders around like rag dolls. Jarvis could work on catching the pigskin with his hands more consistently, but still can have an electric grab, especially in the redzone.

 

• 33. OT- Gareth Daniel- 6'4", 305 lbs. -Antelope Valley C.C. (Lancaster, CA)- This pit-bull of a lineman stays in the defenders face, driving his legs through the block. Gareth makes "pancake" blocks look routine, and he proves "What happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay in Vegas."

 

• 34. OT/C- Justin Scott- 6'6", 280 lbs. -Pierce College (Woodland Hills, CA)- Justin AKA "Proof" earned All-Conference honors as a freshmen at Pierce College, by only giving up 1 sack all season. Justin is surprisingly athletic and agile for his size. He keeps his feet and shoulders square on the defender, driving them to the ground.

 

• 35. C/OT-Kyle Harris- 6'3", 290 lbs. -Itawamba C.C. (Fulton, MS)- Kyle plays with a mean streak on the gridiron. Shows good arm extension on blocks while keeping the legs moving until the whistle. Kyle is a force to be reckoned with, creates major space in the running game, and takes defenders out of the play on passing downs, by using correct angle leverage. A true "Country Strong" individual who should help a D-1 program with instant depth at center.

 

• 36. DT- Glen Antoine- 6'2", 295 lbs. -Navarro College (Corsicana, TX)- Glen is sleeper recruit who could emerge in 2013. His game would best fit a 3-4 defense, as he knows how to sniff out the run. Not a pass rushing specialist, but really clogs up the middle, taking the offense out of their rhythm. Glen is excellent at getting to the carrier while being blocked.

 

• 37. DT- Dayan Dunn- 6'2", 290 lbs. -West Los Angeles C.C. (Culver City, CA)- A solid specimen who tallied 25 tcks, 4 sacks, and 8.5 TFL's as a freshmen in 2012. Dayan displays raw power, to go with surprising quickness that gives him an edge on his opponents. Recruiting is starting to pick up, and if Dayan puts up exceptional numbers in 2013, he'll have no problem seeing scholarships pile up.

 

• 38. DE- Jerod Cody- 6'3", 240 lbs. -Glendale C.C. (Glendale, AZ)- An intense, powerful, defensive end who understands gap-coverage. Jerod is pretty solid in pass rushing, and run-stopping making him a well-balanced prospect. Often forces the ball carrier back inside containing the edge.

 

• 39. DE- Poncho Barnwell- 6'4", 250 lbs. Nassau C.C. (Rochester, NY)- A former Syracuse commit, Poncho is a raw, but very athletic speed rusher off the edge. He makes an array of different tackles, and can disrupt the QB rushing their throw. Poncho needs to work on tackling form, as he tends to try to arm tackle too often, but his upside potential (play-making ability) are what should stand out to recruiters.

 

• 40. DE/DT- Clinton Carter- 6'3", 255 lbs. -Bakersfield C.C. (Bakersfield, CA)- Clinton actually graduated in 2007 and spent four years in the Army, spending one year in Afghanistan. Enrolled at Bakersfield in 2012 and spent the year playing mostly defensive tackle for the Gades where he posted 45 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 7 tackles-for-loss, 2 forced fumbles and 3 fumble recoveries for the state champions. Clinton expects to play defensive end in 2013. A true inspiration to any American for his service and duty, so you know he's a leader who has discipline.

 

• 41. DE- Jhaustin Thomas- 6'6", 265 lbs. -Trinity Valley C.C. (Athens, TX)- A freak athlete who punishes opposing teams. A former South Carolina Gamecocks commit, grades sent him the JUCO route to Trinity Valley. Jhaustin shows a long stride, solid wing-span, and powerful hits on impact. Look for him at an SEC school in 2014, starting at defensive end.

 

• 42. OLB- Vin Ascolese- 6'2", 225 lbs -College of the Sequoias (Visalia, CA)- This stud was all set to go to Arkansas out of high school, but was denied eligibility due to poor grades. Vin has all the tools coaches covet out of an elite linebacker: toughness, strength, instincts, football IQ, and great tackling form. Already has 4 offers from Tennessee, TCU, West Virginia, and Illinois.

 

• 43. OLB/HLB- Dejon Brown- 6'3", 215 lbs. -Mt. San Jacinto College (San Jacinto, CA)- Dejon is a superior athlete, and makes plays all over the gridiron. We consider him to be a "Hybrid" linebacker because of a combination of athleticism and power. Dejon displays great pass coverage, especially in zone. Has the ability to become JUCO All-American in 2013.

 

• 44. OLB- Cavellis Luckett- 6'1", 225 lbs. -Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C. (Perkinston, MS)- Runs a 4.3 40' yard dash, so yeah, he's fast! Cavellis shows solid tackling form, and when he drops into zone/spy coverage, which is when he's at his best. Definitely one of the top JUCO linebackers in 2013, SEC programs are starting to notice him, but no current offers yet.

 

• 45. OLB- Kyle Newsom- 6'2", 220 lbs. -Feather River College (Quincy, CA)- Kyle is a straight up tackling machine. Led the Golden Eagles with 78 tcks and 14.5 tackles-for-loss as a freshman last season. Also hauled in an interception and registered a sack while receiving First Team All-Conference and All-Region honors.

 

• 46. OLB- Taylor Rockwood- 6'0", 225 lbs. -Glendale C.C. (Glendale, CA)- Taylor is a coverage linebacker with great zone skills. His football instincts are probably his best quality, as Taylor imposes his will on the offense with solid tackling, especially in space. Although undersized, he makes up for it with distinctive read-and-react ball-hawking skills.

 

• 47. OLB/ATH- Martin Henry- 6'0", 215 lbs. -Pierce College (Woodland Hills, CA)- Martin is another one of those hybrid-linebacker types that displays great range, and closing speed on the ball carrier. He's got the ability to play several positions on the gridiron due to his fantastic athletic skills. A big hitter that often dislodges the pigskin from the receiver. Plays a lot stronger than his frame and could be a dynamic play-maker in 2013. Currently sits on one offer from Florida A&M.

 

• 48. OLB- Edward Muldrow- 6'4", 215 lbs. -Contra Costa College (San Pablo, CA)- An undersized speed rusher who'd best fit in a 3-4 scheme. Edward can really get to the QB, and lays huge hits on whoever comes in his path. Edward also is a very capable athlete in press, man-to-man situations. If he gains 20-25 lbs of muscle, he could blossom into an elite impact player on defense.

 

• 49. MLB- Darryn Walton- 6'0", 240 lbs -L.A. Southwest College (Los Angeles, CA)- Darryn is a smart, intelligent football player, who takes correct angles to the ball, and can run sideline-to-sideline with the best of them. A sure tackler, who doesn't get beat often at middle linebacker. Racked up 34 tackles, 2 sacks and 4.5 tackles-for-loss and was named Second Team All-League for his performance.

 

• 50. S/ATH- Tyree Stone-Davis- 6'3", 190 lbs. -Pierce College (Woodland Hills, CA)- (Twin brother of Tyrin) Tyree can flat out play football, the question is what position will best suit him at the next level. Both he and his brother hold offers from SDSU, but the 2-in-1 package for D-1 schools should get them more offers in the coming months.

 

• 51. S- Carl Williams- 6'1", 200 lbs. -Butler County C.C. (El Dorado, KS)- Carl has solid natural tackling form, and great raw power for a safety. Superb ball-hawking play-maker with elite football instincts. Carl is easily one of the top JUCO Safeties in 2013, originally committed to Iowa, but was told they were full at his position.

 

• 52. S- Desmond Blue- 5'11", 200 lbs. -New Mexico Military (Roswell, NM)- Desmond is an elite safety and proved it in 2012 by collecting 85 tcks, 3 TFL's, 2 Int's, 7 BR, and 2 FR's. If Desmond continues to excel his numbers in 2013, look for him to gain much more recruiting attention as he has no current D-1 offers.

 

• 53. CB/S- Shattle Fenteng- 6'2", 185 lbs. -Hutchinson C.C. (Hutchinson, KS)- A very athletic corner who plays bigger than his frame (Big Hits). Shattle doesn't wait for contact, he finds it. Quick instincts allow him to take chances, and make big plays on defense. Posted 57 tcks, 16 BR, and 4 picks in 2012 for Hutchinson. He was also a teammate of Robert Nkemdiche at Grayson High School in Georgia. Look for Shattle to stay close to home in the good ol' SEC. Holds offers from KSU, Mississippi, Texas Tech, and West Virginia.

 

• 54. CB- Dominque Harrison- 5'11", 190 lbs. -Contra Costa College (San Pablo, CA)- A "Diamond in the Rough" prospect who put up solid numbers as a freshmen: 15 tackles, 4 interceptions and 16 passes defended. Excellent in zone or cover-2 situations watching his area like a hawk. Dominque has a good understanding and feel for the game, but needs to work on press man-to-man situations, and tackling strength. Dominque picked up an offer from Arizona State, but is looking for more in future months.

 

• 55. CB- Josh Sakover- 5'10", 180 lbs. -San Diego Mesa C.C. (San Diego, CA)- If you're looking for a press coverage stud, this is your guy. Josh possesses great physical attributes it takes to play corner. Above average speed, stays right on the receivers hip, very quick recovery reaction (closing speed), and stout toughness. Put up fine numbers as a freshmen at San Diego Mesa with 55 tcks, with 3 picks.

 

• 56. CB/ATH- Michael Cirino- 6'0", 191 lbs. -Ventura College (Ventura, CA)- Michael is a true athlete playing corner. Was a quarterback, wide Receiver, and defensive end in high school. Michael contains a dangerously quick first step to break on the ball. Still learning his position, but with proper experience we believe he'll rack in the stats.

 

• 57. CB- William Jackson- 6'1", 180 lbs. -Trinity Valley C.C. (Athens, TX)- Plays corner like he's a receiver, eager to be a difference maker on defense. Shows amazing closing speed to catch up to the football. Has the potential to be a dynamic shutdown cornerback for many years to come. Originally signed with Houston, but ended up going the JUCO route.

 

• 58. OG- Sully Wiefels- 6'4", 300 lbs. -American River C.C. (Sacramento, CA)- Knows how to gain leverage on an opponent, and open holes for his teammates. Displays solid surge blocking getting into defenders with authority. Needs to work on quicker footwork on more athletic D-linemen. Overall pretty balanced in run or pass blocking though.

 

• 59. OT- Darren Denucci- 6'5", 305 lbs. -Snow College (Ephraim, UT)- Simply takes his man out of the play consistently with force. Uses the defense's aggressiveness against them by twisting his hips and shoulders. Raw, powerful prospect that continues to show why Snow College is a contender in the JUCO ranks year-in-and-year-out.

 

• 60. WR- Claude Garrett- 6'3", 215 lbs. -North Dakota State College (Wahpeton, ND)- Claude is definitely a big play receiver, and can be physically imposing on secondaries. Doesn't possess blazing speed, but deliverers a strength, and will about him that gives him an edge on 1-on-1 coverage. Put up solid numbers in 2012 by collecting 23 receptions, for 447 yards, and 5 TD's.

 

• 61. OLB/DE- St. Pierre Anilus-6'2", 235 lbs. -Georgia Military College (Milledgeville, GA)- A freakish athlete that is still a bit raw, but has the potential for greatness. A quick first step helps him get in the backfield insanely fast. Could use some work on tackling form, but overall a top notch sleeper prospect. Tallied 25 tcks, 7 TFL's, and 5 sacks for Georgia Military as a frosh.

 

• 62. WR- Nick Kurtz- 6'6", 209 lbs. -Grossmont College (El Cajon, CA)- Nick is a redzone nightmare, uses his length to gain an advantage on the defense.He doesn't possess elite strength or speed, but makes up for it with proper hip technique. Put up great numbers for Grossmont as a freshmen with 49 catches, for 697 yards, and 10 TD's. Already holds 3 offers from Akron, Illinois, and Utah State.

 

• 63. ILB- Ryan Flannigan- 6'1", 225 lbs. -Blinn C.C. (Brenham, TX)- An athletic, undersized LB, who gets to the ball quickly. Understands gap coverage, and plays smart while wrapping up well. Look for Blinn CC and Mr. Flannigan to have a much improved 2013 after a sub-par record.

 

• 64. TE- Ryan Ena- 6'6", 240 lbs. -Palomar C.C. (San Marcos, CA)- A gifted young tight end with phenomenal hands. Displays good ball skills, grabbing the pigskin at it's highest point and reeling it in to his chest. Had a amazingly productive freshmen year, with 43 receptions, for 575 yards, and 6 TD's. Already has a San Jose State offer, and should continue to rack em' in.

 

• 65. TE- Marvin FanFan- 6'2", 245 lbs. -ASA J.C. (Brooklyn, NY)- Marvin is a superior athletic football player with tremendous skills. Blocks solid, especially on release plays, shows good hands, and above average speed for his position. Has already visited Boston College, and is gaining interest from various programs across the nation.

 

• 66. ATH/APB- Detrick Goff- 6'3", 235 lbs. -Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C. (Perkinston, MS)- A productive back with tons of versatility, and potential. Can be used as a fullback, halfback, or in goaline situations. Earned 53 rushes, for 304 yards, and an astonishing 11 TD's rushing at MGC in 2012.

 

• 67. QB- Tim Belman- 6'3", 205 lbs. -Saddleback C.C. (Mission Viejo, CA)-Reminds me of a Rich Gannon type quarterback. Displays great accuracy, and proper footwork, to go with a quick release. Tim earned All-Conference, and All-Region Honors in the CCCAA (California Community Colleges Athletic Association) by throwing for over 2,900 yards, 22 TD's, but also 12 interceptions.

 

• 68. WR- Julian Allen- 6'4", 220 lbs. -Lackawanna C.C. (Scranton, PA)- A big target at wide-out, should be the #1 option in the passing game for Lackawanna in 2013. A possession receiver who put up solid numbers with 35 catches, with 2 TD's as a freshmen.

 

• 69. WR- Devon Blackmon- 6'1", 185 lbs. -Riverside C.C. (Riverside, CA)- A star in the making, this kid can fly. A former Oregon Ducks commit, transferred to Riverside in 2012, and had to sit out. Look for him to make some serious noise in 2013, as he has freakish athleticism. At times it looks like everyone else on the field is in slow motion when he has the rock.

 

• 70. WR- Delvon Carpenter- 6'0", 180 lbs. -New Mexico Military (Roswell, NM)- With New Mexico Military's explosive offensive attack look for Delvon to improve on his 25 catches, for 652 yards, and 7 TD's from 2012. He possesses long strides, fast acceleration, and a homerun threat on any given Saturday.

 

• 71. WR- Ciavy Wells- 6'4", 220 lbs. -Ellsworth C.C. (Iowa Falls, IA)- Ciavy is a offensive coordinator's dream- good hands, a deep threat, strong, combined with lengthy strides to give defenses' a headache.

• 72. S- Nigel Green- 6'2", 180 lbs. -Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C. (Perkinston, MS)- Nigel is always looking to punish the opponent laying big hits on the offense. Plays a read-and-react spy very well in the center-field position. A solid tackler, who keeps his pad level low, and wraps the ball carrier up. Also contains a lean, lanky physique that D-1 coaches drool over these days for the secondary.

 

• 73. QB- Shazzon Mumphery- 6'4", 225 lbs. -Dakota College at Bottineau (Bottineau, SD)- A dual-threat quarterback with elite skills. If the pocket breaks down this guy can make it happen with his feet. Throws a pretty accurate ball, and possesses the athleticism to throw on the run. Reminds us of a young Donovan McNabb, and with his build the two compare very similar.

 

• 74. OG- Scott Boyett- 6'7", 325 lbs. -Santa Rosa J.C. (Santa Rosa, CA)- A big bodied beast on the interior, Scott shows tremendous footwork, and leg drive pushing the defender completely out of the play.

• 75. ATH- Melvin McAdams- 5'7", 170 lbs. -Victor Valley College (Victorville, CA)- Melvin is a solid, under-the-radar prospect that can effect the game in many ways.

Melvin gained 388 yards rushing with 3 TD's, caught 30 balls for 448 yards, with 2 TD's receiving, and even scored on a Kickoff Return for Victor Valley. An undersized, underrated athlete that makes things happen, period!

 

• 76. HB/FB- Joe Te'o- 5'11", 210 lbs. -Diablo Valley C.C. (Pleasant Hill, CA)- Is a versatile prospect as Joe can play fullback or halfback.

• 77. RB- Casey Curtis- 5'9", 195 lbs. -N.E. Oklahoma A&M (Miami, OK)- Casey proves speed kills! Displays amazing elusiveness, power, and above average vision. A creative back who won't be brought down by arm tackles. Casey had a solid freshmen year rushing for over 600 yards and 2 TD's. Look for coaches to be all over this stud at NEO this summer.

 

• 78. RB- Jamal Overton- 5'9", 200 lbs. -Mt. San Antonio C.C. (Walnut, CA)- By no means flashy, but Jamal simply gets the job done. Very elusive, especially in the open-field, and is capable of tearing off large chunks of yardage on running plays. Contains unique lower-body strength that every running back would love to have. Jamal does show breakaway speed that all D-1 coaches seek year-in-and-year-out. Exceeded expectations in 2012 by carrying the ball 163 times, for 938 yards, and 10 TD's.

 

• 79. QB- Jack Singler- 6'4", 185 lbs. -DeAnza College (Cupertino, CA)- Jack is the young brother of former College Basketball stars Kyle (Duke), and E.J. (Oregon) Singler. The bloodlines run deep in this family, and Jack should make a splash on the College Football scene in 2013. Shows toughness, both mentally and physically, but needs to bulk up to withstand the punishment on the gridiron.

 

• 80. QB- Nick Arbuckle- 6'2", 220 lbs. -Pierce College (Woodland Hills, CA)- Nick showed he's a force to be reckoned with in 2012. He threw for over 3,700 yards, an amazing 40 TD's, and 16 int's as a freshmen. Nick is a dual-threat as well, he gained 158 rushing yards, and 4 TD's on the ground. Throws with great touch, putting perfect loft on deep balls. He really knows how to sell the play action pass, which is vital in pro style major college football offenses.

 

• 81. QB- Nico Fortino- 6'2", 210 lbs. -Diablo Valley C.C. (Pleasant Hill, CA)- Nico is a sleeper, but shows potential to be an effective collegiate quarterback. He thrives in a Spread-Shotgun style attack, and is a relentless gunslinger with above average accuracy. Nico needs to work on not throwing off his back foot as much (lose velocity). Nico would be considered a pocket passer.

 

• 82. QB- Andrew Goodman- 6'3", 215 lbs. -Itawamba C.C. (Fulton, MS)- Andrew has all the tools to be a productive D-1 QB: strong arm (in or out of the pocket), leadership, accurate, doesn't get happy feet in the pocket, not afraid to take a hit. In sparing playing time in 2012, Andrew completed  78.3% of his throws, for 632 yards, 5 TD's, and only 1 pick. Look for this young prospect to take the helm and have a solid 2013 season.

 

• 83. QB- Luke Barnes- 6'2", 200 lbs. -Hutchinson C.C. (Hutchinson,KS)- Beat Danny Wuerffel's records at Fort Walton Beach High High School in Florida by throwing for more than 5,500 yards passing yards, and over 48 touchdowns through the air. This was just the beginning as Luke carved defense's up in 2012 at Hutchinson with over 3,000 yards passing yards, 36 TD's, and 10 Int's as a freshmen. Look for Mr. Barnes to continue to progress his second season.

Brock will look to build off his 85 tcks, 7 TFl's, 2 sacks, and 1 pick freshmen season. Wherever the ball is, look for Brock during Hutchinson games.

 

• 86. CB- Dominque Blackmon- 6'0", 185 lbs. -Arizona Western C.C. (Yuma, AZ)-Trey is cat quick off the edge and could fit into most, if not all defensive schemes. His first step is fast, which helps him punish oppponents. A rising sleeper stud who plays his position with swag.

• 89. S- James Sample- 6'2", 215 lbs. -American River C.C. (Sacramento, CA)- A transfer from the Washington Huskies, James is an elite Safety that can be a difference maker on defense. Yet to play a down on the JUCO gridiron, he should provide adequate coverage, and big play ability for American River in 2013. James is a straight up ball-hawk!

 

• 90. DE- Ewing Simmons- 6'4", 225 lbs. -American River C.C. (Sacramento, CA)- A pass rushing specialist coming off the edge. Very quick instincts, and can get to the QB in a hurry. Needs to bulk up and put on a few pounds, but his potential is rock solid for the future.
