Athlete Vault's early 2011 Top 100 (Version 2.0)
Some of our top targets (and/or players from FL/GA and/or some UF/UM targets) include (My editorials are in brackets after the name/star rating): 1) Jadeveon Clowney DE ***** (wanted to include the #1 player in this post) 6'6" 240 lbs. South Pointe HS Rock Hill, SC 2) Timmy Jernigan DT ***** (UF lean, but not as big w/o Strong) 6'2" 280 lbs. Columbia HS Lake City, FL 4) Mike Bellamy RB ***** (UF lean a/c to SWFL - who I believe went to the same HS) 5'10" 175 lbs. Charlotte HS Punta Gorda, FL 8) James Wilder LB ***** (Stud at LB/DE/RB also a UF lean, have read grades could be a concern) 6'2" 225 lbs. Plant HS Tampa, FL 12) Jay Rome TE ***** (Clemson legacy and huge lean to CU right now) 6'6" 225 lbs. Valdosta HS Valdosta, GA 14) Tyler Moore OL ***** 6'6" 290 lbs. Countryside HS Clearwater, FL Committed to Nebraska 21) James Vaughters LB **** 6'2" 220 lbs. Tucker HS Tucker, GA 25) Kelvin Benjamin WR **** (likely a UF/UM battle) 6'5" 205 lbs. Glades Central HS Bell Glade, FL 29) Hasean Clinton-Dix DB **** (was a story on him here at TN a week or 2 ago that said we are his early leader; same HS as current WR commit Kenny Shaw) 6'1" 180 lbs. Dr. Phillips HS Orlando, FL 30) Nick Waisome DB **** (if I remember correctly, he is a UF lean) 5'11" 170 lbs. South Lake HS Groveland, FL 31) Marquise Williams QB **** (Miami target and possible that they take both Marquise and Bridgewater and move the loser of the QB battle to another position - or even Teddy to WR right away) 6'4" 220 lbs. Mallard Creek HS Charlotte, NC 32) Damian Swann DB **** 6’1" 170 lbs. Grady HS Atlanta, GA 33) Teddy Bridgewater QB/ATH **** (Miami pipeline school and probably the #1 player on their board overall) 6'3" 180 lbs. Miami Northwestern HS Miami, FL 35) Isaiah Crowell RB ***** (have read that he is one of our top targets at RB; I believe this is same HS as WR Jarmon Fortson) 5'11" 195 lbs. Carver HS Columbus, GA 37) Christian LeMay QB **** (likely our #1 target at QB and likely our #1 target not in FL/GA if not overall) 6'2" 195 lbs. Butler HS Matthews, NC 42) A.C. Leonard ATH **** 6’2" 220 lbs. Ribault HS Jacksonville, FL Committed to Florida 52) Nick O’Leary TE **** (some lists also have him as a DE, but I believe SWFL or FSUSOM have said in prior posts that we are looking at TE for Nick) 6’4" 215 lbs. Dwyer HS Palm Beach Gardens, FL 54) Ray Drew DE **** (one of our top targets at DE along with Derrick Mitchell; I believe SWFL and/or SOM have said he is a huge FSU lean in the past) 6'5" 230 lbs. Thomas County Central HS Thomasville, GA 55) Sammy Watkins WR **** 6'1" 180 lbs. South Fort Myers HS Fort Myers, FL 60) Marlin Lane RB **** 6'0" 195 lbs.
