"A Florida commit, Davis has an impressible senior season that included a few games with eye-popping yard totals. Davis accelerates well but his strength is his vision. As he ads muscle, he has a chance to develop into a nice SEC back." – Rivals.com Southeast recruiting analyst Rob Cassidy
"Williams has been a long-time Kansas commit, but picked up an offer from Boise State in early November. Williams is a back that blends together a nice mix of rugged running, escapability and good speed. What got him across the four-star threshold this season was showing his effectiveness in the passing game to become an even more complete back." – Rivals.com Texas recruiting analyst Nick Krueger
"Wallace has been committed to Oklahoma State since March. Tylan and his brother, Tracin, have been committed to the Cowboys since spring, but Tylan has been showing his chops as a top receiver all year long. The Cowboys have a potentially electric group of receivers committed in 2017 and Wallace appears to be the best overall prospect of them all." – Krueger
"Greenwood has been committed to Oklahoma State since August. He is another member of the Cowboys’ exciting corps of receiver commits, but where Wallace is a smaller, speedier option, Greenwood gives a bigger, more powerful look as an outside pass-catcher. He’s a strong player that can make tough grabs to move the chains on short downs and distances in tight coverage as well." – Krueger
"Smalling has been on the recruiting scene since early in his freshman year, but he took a nice step forward as a playmaker in this, his final prep season. The Illinois commit has always possessed an excellent skill set for the wide receiver position, but he added more of the 'it' to his game this fall that got him over the four-star hump." – Rivals.com Midwest recruiting analyst Josh Helmholdt
"Locklear took some big steps in his development this season. The Tennessee commit is quicker getting off the ball and does a good job getting to the second level and delivering big time blocks. Locklear is a road grader up front and does a good job opening massive holes for his running backs." – Rivals.com Mid-Atlantic recruiting analyst Adam Friedman
"Dixon plays quarterback, wide receiver, running back, safety and he's an athletic playmaker at all of those positions. Wherever Arizona chooses to line him up, Dixon has the size, speed and athleticism to make something special happen. I don't know if he'll fit better on offense or defense. But I do know he can be tremendously productive for the Wildcats wherever he lines up." – Rivals.com National recruiting analyst Adam Gorney
