Rank Name Pos Location Stars Ht Wt School
Quin BlandingDB
Virginia Beach, VABayside

Blanding is a huge safety who loves to hit but is also very effective in pass coverage and in reading the quarterback. Blanding could end up growing into a linebacker because he's already so big but either way he will maintain his coverage ability and his willingness to stick.

6'2"185list
Jaylen BradshawWR
Chesapeake, VAOscar Smith

Another in the long line of talented athletes from Oscar Smith, playing for coach Rich Morgan. Bradshaw had to wait his turn in line as a sophomore but figures to be the number two option in the Tigers game in 2012 behind BCS prospect Zack Jones but that will likely give him about 60 targets so there will be plenty of opportunity to have a breakout junior season.

5'11"170list
Andrew BrownDT
Chesapeake, VAIndian River

Widely regarded as one of the top prospects from the class of 2014, Brown is a rare young man. At 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds, he looks like some of the top prospects from the class of 2012 and moves as well if not better than many of them, too. While Brown is further ahead physically than almost everyone else in his class, he's still learning the game and coming into his own. His upside is nearly unlimited and because of that and the expectations that go along with it, he's bound to receive plenty of headlines. For good or for bad, over the next couple of years his will be a name in the news often.

6'4"280list
Tarren ClaytonDT
Staunton, VARobert E Lee

Following his sophomore season Clayton was an honorable mention all-state selection by the Virginia High School Coaches Association and a second team all-state all-underclassmen selection by VirginiaPreps. R.E. Lee coach David Tibbs said of Clayton "He ran a 4.9 40 at 272 pounds last summer at the NUC. He is getting bigger, faster and stronger each day. If he puts everything together the sky is the limit for him. I have had players at UVA and at Tech playing similar positions. He is as good as any we have had.

6'3"270list
Rashaad GoodwynDB
Dinwiddie, VADinwiddie

Coach Billy Mills says "Great talent, started every game but two as a freshmen mainly on defense, but did have a big game on the offensive side in our homecoming win vs Meadowbrook in 2010. Only played one game as sophomore due to a couple of injuries, but is definitely one the colleges are going to be after good player with good academics. Very explosive with great speed."

6'1"190list
Da'Shawn HandDE
Woodbridge, VAWoodbridge Senior

"Da'Shawn Hand (2014) has five verbal offers already," Woodbridge head coach Kevin Smith said. "It's pretty crazy and new to me. I know that he's a very special player. "He's 6-foot-5, 230-pounds and he'll be a defensive end in college. The thing about him is he's worked so hard to get here and since getting the offers he's worked 10 times harder."

6'5"245list
Caleb HendersonQB
Alexandria, VAWest Potomac

Caleb Henderson impressed at the National Underclassmen Ultimate Northeast 100 camp earning praise from Rivals.com national analyst Mike Farrell who wrote: "Henderson has good size and a very strong arm for a young quarterback and his downfield accuracy is impressive. He's poised, sees the field well and doesn't force the ball into coverage too often. When a receiver is open, he makes good decisions and delivers the ball quickly with good spin. Henderson uses his entire body on his throw, shifting weight from his lower body well. He plants consistently and rarely throws off balance. He has a very good frame and is super strong so he could end up being one of the bigger quarterbacks in the class of 2014. His arm strength will only improve."

6'3"190list
Jalyn HolmesDE
Norfolk, VALake Taylor

An all district pick as a freshman, Holmes moved his game up another notch as a sophomore. Holmes is also a basketball standout for Lake Taylor. As a sophomore Holmes had two touchdowns on offense and added 55 tackles, 13 for loss, five sacks, three fumble recoveries and one defensive touchdown on defense while posting second team all-region and first team all-district honors.

6'5"225list
Jamil KamaraWR
Norfolk, VALake Taylor

Kamara is big and strong, and he goes up and gets the ball. "Jamil is tough. I haven't seen many kids like him do what he did as a freshman, and he was pretty impressive when you consider he played most of the year being 14 years old," says Princess Anne Head Football Coach Ray Gatlin. "He's definitely a game-changer. He's also a hard-worker, and someone we don't have to worry about making sure he does what he's supposed to do."

6'2"185list
Greer MartiniLB
Woodberry Forest, VAWoodberry Forest School

Woodberry Forest coach Clint Alexander says of Martini "He is an outstanding athlete and has great ball skills. I expect Greer to be a 6-foot-4 230 pound inside linebacker as a senior. He is very smart and can read and diagnose plays quickly which makes him even faster on the field. Greer can cover and fill against the run. He had 13 solo tackles 53 assists 4 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks caused 2 fumbles, recovered 5, 2 for touchdowns and had 3 interceptions as a sophomore. Greer is also an outstanding leader and made first team All Prep."

6'3"207list
Travon McMillianATH
Woodbridge, VAC. D. Hylton

McMillian is a true dual threat quarterback, able to hurt opposing defenses with his arm and legs. In ten regular season games as a soph he threw 10 TD passes and rushed for another 15 scores. Rod Johnson says of McMillian "He will rank as one of the most explosive players in the state from the Class of 2014 and should draw attention from every school throughout the mid-Atlantic, if not further out across the East. His sophomore film is somewhat reminiscent of former Virginia Tech great Tyrod Taylor."

6'0"185list
Derrick NnadiDT
Virginia Beach, VAOcean Lakes

Nnadi's upside is very impressive. Strong off the snap and athletic, he plays with great passion. Nnadi has grown up on the Dolphins line playing alongside fellow scholarship players Eli Harold and Demetri McGill so he's had a first hand look at what it takes to be a dominating player in the trenches which should only serve to carry his game to new heights.
