#1E.J. Levenberry Jr.LB
Woodbridge, VAC. D. Hylton

A transfer from DeMatha, Levenberry has already accumulated over a dozen offers and it is easy to see why. After the Virginia VTO event Mike Farrell wrote the following: " Levenberry has a long frame and uses it to help close on smaller backs quicker opponents. He is at his best when his first step is forward and when he can get his long arms on his opponent to knock them off their route, but he is athletic and quick enough to make up for false steps and get back into the play. His lateral ability is impressive as well as he moves effortlessly from side to side and can disrupt passing lanes with his size and anticipation. Levenberry is also a smart, heady player who picks things up quickly."

#2Jonathan AllenDE
Ashburn, VAStone Bridge

This past April Allen attended and received the following evaluation "Hands down the event's most dominant pass rusher. Is one of the nation's best 2013 prospects. Is cat quick coming off the edge with an arsenal of moves. Can bull-rush, swim, rip and spin. Could not be blocked. His first step is simply scary. Must continue to develop." With early offers from Penn State and his home state of Alabama, it will be hard for either UVa or VT to keep Allen from leaving the state.

#3Christian HackenbergQB
Fork Union, VAFork Union Military Academy

Class of 2013 quarterback Christian Hackenberg is one of the state's top junior prospects and one of three signal callers with an early offer from Virginia. Following the Cavaliers' offer, Tennessee pulled the trigger as well. His offer list continues to grow, with SEC offers from the likes of Alabama and South Carolina.

#4Ryan BurnsQB
Ashburn, VAStone Bridge

Received the following review this past spring when he attended an Elite 11 event: "You could make a case that Burns, a year away from being eligible for the Elite 11, was the most consistent and best quarterback on the day. Not only does he have great size and a strong arm, his release is excellent and compact and he spun the ball consistently all day. He was at his best on outs and intermediate passes where his arm strength shines, but he also showed good touch on his long balls. The only time he struggled was on the rare occasion he was asked to move around and throw outside the pocket, but even then he was solid. Burns' upside is very impressive and it's puzzling why his only offer continues to be from Boston College. "

#5Bucky HodgesQB
Virginia Beach, VASalem

Hodges impressed at the Duke NIKE event: "Hodges was the biggest quarterback at the event despite just being a sophomore and it is clear his upside is impressive. He is powerfully built and has a very strong and accurate arm. Because of his length, he needs to shorten his release a bit, but the ball still comes out quickly with good mechanics and he can make all the throws needed. For a huge quarterback, his footwork is surprising as he is light on his feet and has a good rhythm to his drops."

#6Derrick GreenRB
Richmond, VAHermitage

One of the more heralded players on the camp and combine circuit from the Class of 2013 has been Hermitage High School running back Derrick Green whose 5-foot-10, 223-pound rippling frame gives him the look of a run-stuffing middle linebacker but his 4.48 forty speed and 31-inch vertical allow him to be the type of back who can make defenders miss or punish them if they get between him and the goal line.

#7Taquan MizzellRB
Virginia Beach, VABayside

VirgniaPreps.com staffers Rod Johnson and Matthew Hatfield said of Mizell following the Junior Rank Camp in May: "Shifty and now powerful, Mizzell will be hard to wrap up for opponents in the Beach District this year. Look for the Marlins to ride him as much as possible in their effort to repeat as Eastern Region D-6 Champions."

#8Tim HarrisDB
Richmond, VAVarina

Both Virginia and Virginia Tech have offered Harris and once you see him in action, you will know why! Harris started as a sophomore for Varina and looked impressive during the spring camps. Will Garlick wrote "He was my MVP at the NUC in Hampton by posting excellent scores and showcasing his one-on-one coverage skills"

#9Wyatt TellerDE
Bealeton, VALiberty

The Eagles big man is surely to draw a considerable amount of attention over the course of the next two seasons. "He is the full package," says Liberty coach Tommy Buzzo, "barefooted, he is nearly 6-foot-5, he weighs 247 pounds now, he's got a ridiculous motor and his wingspan is one more likely to be found on a 6-foot-7, or 6-foot-8 kid. He's young, he has no body fat and he's got a great work ethic. Most of the coaches like him more when they come in and see him work out than they do watching his film."

#10Doug RandolphLB
Richmond, VAWoodberry Forest School

An early commit to Stanford, Randolph fell under the radar despite technically being a 2012 recruit until reclassifying for the 2013 class upon his admission this fall to Woodberry Forest School. Randolph had received interest from Virginia, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Kansas State among others. Recently Randolph has been taking a look at a few other schools, so stay tuned!

#11Michael ParkerATH
Nokesville, VAKettle Run

Rod Johnson wrote of Parker: "Kettle Run two-way standout Michael Parker who has already picked up scholarship offers from Boston College, Virginia and Virginia Tech and the rising junior is looking forward to helping the Cougars make a splash in 2012. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder projects as a safety at the next level and looks forward to the challenge."

#12Holland FisherDB
Midlothian, VAClover Hill

As a sophomore Fisher was a second team all-metro and first team all-district honors after racking up 95 tackles, 11 for loss, six sacks, five pass deflections and four forced fumbles as a sophomore. He also had 10 receptions for 215-yards and four touchdowns on offense. Has been a Hokie fan all of his life, so it came as no surprise when he pulled the trigger for VT on February 18th.

#13Matt RolinLB
Ashburn, VABriar Woods

With over a half dozen offers by the first of February, Rolin has jumped in our rankings! One of the region's top linebacker prospects, Rolin's older brother plays (walk-on) at Virginia Tech. As a junior Rolin posted 105 tackles, 20 for loss, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and eight pass deflections while earning first team all-district, region and state honors.

#14Zack JonesWR
Chesapeake, VAOscar Smith

Brother of former Oscar Smith standout and a starting running back at Virginia, Perry Jones, Zack has no trouble keeping us with older brother, with his 4.5 40 speed. Likes Miami, and of course Virginia will be on him as well.

6'0"178list
#15Daniel ReidRB
Chester, VAThomas Dale

Reid pulled in early offers from Virginia and Virginia Tech, but they certainly won't be his last. Some colleges are just finding out about Reid, as he made the move from Newport News' Woodside to Thomas Dale as a sophomore and played sparingly due to injury, primarily on special teams. The 2011 season should open even more eyes on Reid's abilities.

6'1"195list
#16David PrinceATH
Roanoke, VAPatrick Henry

As a junior, Prince led the Patriots to a 7-3 record behind an offense that averaged nearly 28 points per contest as he connected on 70 of 121 passes for 1,005 yards and nine touchdowns adding another 725 yards rushing with five more scores. Though he played quarterback for Patrick Henry, the 6-foot-0, 175-pounder projects as a wide receiver or defensive back at the college level.

6'0"175list
#17DaeSean HamiltonATH
Stafford, VAMountain View

Hamilton has been accumulating an impressive early offer list that includes Virginia, Virginia Tech, East Carolina, and Liberty. Also a standout basketball player, Hamilton had 73 catches for 1144 yards and 10 touchdown catches during his junior season for Mountain View.

6'1"185list
#18Deon NewsomeATH
Hampton, VAHampton

With offers from both state D-I schools, Virginia and Virginia Tech, it should not be long before others are knocking on Newsome's door. Being recruited as a running back, wide receiver and defensive back, so versatility is big aspect of his game. A VT legacy, the Hokies are thought to be the early faves!

5'11"170list
#19Kwamane BowensWR
Virginia Beach, VASalem

It's easy to see why BCS schools are flocking to Virginia Beach to take a run at the junior wideout with the Virginia Tech Hokies already offering a scholarship verbally. Bowens runs nice routes, has good length and came back from the early drop to make a key catch on a third down dig route to keep a drive alive. Interestingly enough, on a team loaded at the skill positions, Salem uses Bowens as their punt returner, usually a position reserved for only the most athletic of kids.

#20Donta WilkinsDT
Dumfries, VAPotomac Senior

Impressed this past spring on the camp/combine ciruit and received the following write-up following the All-American Showcase: "Absolutely the event's most dominant offensive lineman, even though he's only in the class of 2013. Presented exceptional strength, quick feet and great leverage. Never got beat in one-on-one's. Great pass blocker. Must continue to work on his all-around skill set."

6'3"315list
#21Charles ClarkDB
Suffolk, VAKings Fork

Already has offers from Virginia and Virginia Tech, few players in the state next year should generate as many offers as Clark. A physical defensive back that tackles and covers, Clark is capable of playing corner or safety. You can tell how the game has slowed down for him and he's supremely confident in what he's doing, using his body better as well.

5'11"180list
#22Cequan JeffersonATH
Richmond, VAHenrico

Virginia Tech was the first, and probably would not have been the last to offer the Central Region standout from Henrico if he had not committed to the Hokies on February 18th. As a junior he had eight interceptions, 35 tackles and 14 pass break-ups. On offense he caught 25 passes and scored six touchdowns.

5'11"167Virginia Tech
#23Ryheem LockleyATH
Saluda, VAMiddlesex

Lockley, who already holds a D-I offer from Virginia, definitely passes the eyeball test at 6-foot-4, 217 pounds. At February's Five-Star Showcase he showed explosiveness off the ball and good route running ability. Lockley also was able to separate himself from the ball and the defender during the one-on-one portion of the event. He has the tools to be dominant at the next level.

6'4"217list
#24Demetri McGillDT
Virginia Beach, VAOcean Lakes

McGill opened some eyes at several camps this past summer. Ocean Lakes is a wide body on the line that will stuff the run and disrupt things from the defensive tackle position. How dedicated McGill is could determine how high of a prospect he is on the D-1 scene because his junior season will be crucial.

6'2"297list
#25Gerard JohnsonATH
Richmond, VAMeadowbrook

Johnson played quarterback this season for Meadowbrook earning second team all-district and first team all-metro honors while throwing for 1,299-yards, 17 touchdowns and three interceptions along with 500-yards rushing and 10 touchdowns on the ground. He had the highest passer rating in the Richmond Metro area, 186.82. Meadowbrook coach Troy Taylor told us ""Gerard is a good student and holds a 3.2 GPA overall. He is a competitor and a leader on and off the field."

5'10"180list
#26Connor Wingo-ReevesLB
Richmond, VAMonacan

Wingo-Reeves had an impressive sophomore season, when he recorded 89 tackles (team leader) and forced two fumbles. He was his team's Defensive Player of the Year and it's a good bet that he will repeat with those honors and pick up even more accolades this fall.

6'3"221list
#27Oren BurksLB
Lorton, VASouth County

This past fall Burks totaled 97 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and nine quarterback hurries on defense. His performances have caught the attention of a number of ACC and Big East schools. Boston College and Virginia Tech might be the early leaders to land Burks.

6'4"195list
#28Anthony ShegogDB
Stafford, VANorth Stafford

Shegog was named to the VirginiaPreps.com All-State Underclassmen team and to the site's All-Northwest Region team. Shegog's stat line included 30 catches for 450 yards and eight touchdowns, and over 300 yards rushing, including another four touchdowns. Coach Joe Mangano told us "Shegog is a very big kid with D-I breakaway speed. He had seven plays this year go for 40 yards or more. An explosive player."

6'2"195list
#29Marcus SpearmanDB
Yorktown, VAGrafton

Spearman impressed this spring on the camp/combine circuit, as one write put it "Junior corner Marcus Spearman is as technically sound as they come and blankets receivers. Every event Spearman goes to, he stands out in a major way."

6'0"190list
#30Parker OsterlohOL
Williamsburg, VAWarhill

Osterloh also plays on the Warhill basketball team and he has a frame to get bigger. In addition to weight training, Osterloh has worked on the other parts of his game. "I need to work on my fundamentals of passing sets," Osterloh said. "I need to improve my strength and foot speed". James Madison University was the first to offer.
