Tom Lemming’s 2011All-America Team

1. WR Dorial Green-Beckham 6-6, 220, 4.4 Springfield- Hillcrest, MO

The nation’s #1 player did not disappoint during the 2011 season, and that’s why I call him the best WR prospect I’ve seen since Randy Moss. The prototypical WR at 6-6, 220, he’s a hybrid and is more suit-ed to be spread out to create mismatches. He gets a great initial burst off the line and is a long strider who can get to top speed in a hurry. Last season he caught 78 passes for 1,743 yds and 16 TDs averaging 22.3 yds per catch. He more than lived up to his billing this season catching 119 passes for 2,233 yds and 25 TDs and set the national record for most career yards with 6,356. He took state in the 100 meters with a time of 10.59, he also took state in the triple jump with a leap of 47' 2", and came in 2nd in-state in the long jump with a leap of 24' 3". He also averages 22 points and 12 rebounds a game as a PFW in basketball. Like Randy Moss, he was named All-State in three sports. Dorial is our national offensive player of the year and he broke the state record for receptions and yardage this season. He also set the state record for a single game receiving yards (354 yds) and career touchdowns (72). His GPA is a solid 3.0 and he scored an 18 on the ACT. Looking at AR, MO, FL, OK, TX and USC among others.

2. QB Gunner Kiel 6-4, 216, 4.7 Columbus East, IN

The #1 prospect in the state of Indiana and the nation’s #1 QB prospect. He reminds me an awful lot of Blaine Gabbert. Last season he threw for 2,742 yds and 36 TDs and he also ran for 621 yds and 7 scores. This season Gunner earned 1st Team All-State honors after completing 127 of 240 passes for 2,517 yds and 28 TDs. He was picked off just 4 times throwing out of a spread-pistol offense. He also earned state Player of the Year honors. His accuracy is uncanny and his ability to accurately throw deep is a major plus. He also shows the ability to lead receivers

with his passes. He can be elusive in the pocket and although he weighs close to 220 pounds, he can cause defenses nightmares once he decides to tuck and run. Committed to LSU.

3. DL Noah Spence 6-3, 230, 4.5 Harrisburg-Bishop McDevitt, PA

The #1 prospect in Pennsylvania has dominated since his freshman year. This fall he totaled 82 tackles and 14 sacks and was voted the top defen-sive player in the state of Pennsylvania. Over the past two years he has totaled 208 tackles and 34½ sacks including 60 tackles for losses. His strength is getting to the QB consistently and in a hurry. He blends great

size with speed, quickness, and power. Has a keen sense for the football and uses it on every down. Remarkably active with a terrifi c burst, he’s able to rip off blocks with strong hands and tremendous natu-ral strength. This season he, once again, was double and triple-teamed on every play and yet still dominated. In 2011 he totaled 98 tackles including 50 solo, 27 tackles for losses, 4 blocked kicks, and 9 QB sacks. His GPA is 3.5. Benches 350. Committed to OHIO STATE.

4. DL Mario Edwards 6-3, 270, 4.69 Denton-Ryan, TX

On fi lm #17 proves to be unstoppable as a pass rusher. He shows a great combination of quickness, strength, and size. He pos-sesses superior speed off the ball and is relentless in pursuit. Shows quick hands, dominates the point of attack, and runs very well laterally, he’s as explosive as they come. Totaled 127 tackles, 16 QB sacks, and 38 tackles for losses on his way to earning the state’s Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2010. This season, once again, he earned the state’s Player of the Year honors after totaling 67 tackles, 32 tackles for losses, 11 QB sacks, 7 forced

fumbles, and 1 safety. He’s been timed in an 11.5 100 meters in track. Committed to FLORIDA STATE.

5. RB-SS Shaq Thompson 6-2, 215, 4.47 Sacramento Grant, CA

He started out at #28, then moved up to #10, and now he has moved up to #5. I’ve watched him on senior film and without a doubt, he’s the best big back in the country. He’s also the nation’s top SS prospect. A supremely skilled athlete, he’s been timed in a 10.8 100 meters. He rushed for 2,000 yds and 25 TDs averag-ing 10 yds per carry in 2010. Also caught 17 passes for 350 yds and 4 scores, and totaled 54 tackles and 1 pick at SS. This season earned 1st Team All-State honors at QB and DB throwing for 893 yds and 8 TDs and rushing for 1,134 yds and 15 TDs. He also totaled 57 tackles in just eight games. Quick to diagnose, he can jump routes and has been blessed with exceptional ball skills. He hits like a Mack truck and can turn and run with the best of them. On offense he’s been blessed with enormous strength, great balance, vision, and superior speed. He runs with his pads low, shows nifty moves, and the burst to get outside. Committed to CALIFORNIA.


All-America Team 4

6. DL Ellis McCarthy 6-4, 300, 4.9 Monrovia, CA

A one-man wrecking crew, he reminds me a little bit of Ndamukong Suh. He combines great size with explosive moves, terrifi c strength, quick hands, and an aggressive and tenacious style of play. He has played more DE this season but does have a lot of experience at the DT position. I was sold on him after watching the CIF semi-fi nal game last December, a game in which Ellis dominated despite the fact that he was double and triple-teamed on every play. He recorded 72 tackle and 14 QB sacks in 2010. This fall he totaled 71 tackles, 7 QB sacks, and 3 fumble recoveries despite missing four games with a knee injury. He played DT and DE. Committed to CALIFORNIA.

7. OL John Theus 6-6, 301, 5.1 Jacksonville-Bolles, FL

The country’s #1 ranked LT prospect reminds me an awful lot of Joe Thomas. On fi lm #71 proves to be an exceptional pass and run blocker. One of the more athletic 300 pounders you will fi nd, he shows great footwork and an aggressive, tenacious style of play. A two-time 1st

Team All-Coast and All-State selection, he certainly has what it takes to make an impact as a true freshman. He paved the way for two RB’s to rush for 1,000 yds this season. In 2011 he led his team to a 4A state title grading out at over 90% in his blocking assignments. His GPA is 3.0

and he scored an 1,100 on the SAT. Committed to GEORGIA.

8. OL Andrus Peat 6-7, 280, 4.9 Tempe-Corona Del Sol, AZ

#75 amazes you with his quickness off the ball and his ability to get into the open fi eld and block down on linebackers. As nimble-footed as they come, he has the potential and ability to become a college All-American and a future all-pro. He looks thin at 280 and shows the quick-ness, balance, change of direction, and mentality at LT that the college scouts look for in an All-American. This season he, once again, graded out at over 90% in his blocking assignments, led the league in pancake blocks, and also totaled 7 QB sacks at DE. For the second year in a row he earned 1st Team All-State honors. Averages 15 points and 10 rebounds a game as a PFW in basketball. His GPA 3.6. Looking at STANFORD, NE, USC, and FSU.

9. RB Jonathan Gray 6-0, 195, 4.4 Aledo, TX

A super tailback prospect who is a fi ve-star ball player. He shows tremendous speed, vision, agility, balance, and sur-prising strength. He carried the ball 358 times for over 2,000 yds and 60 TDs in 2010 on his way to earning 1st Team All-State honors. Explosive should be his middle name, he can create in the open fi eld and shows a good pair of hands. This season he earned state Player of the Year honors after rushing for 2,422 yds and 47 TDs while also catching over 30 passes for 405 yds and 5 TDs. This season in the state championship game he rushed for

241 yds and a TD to break the national record for career TDs with 205. For his career he rushed for 10,908 yds fi nishing second nationally only to Ken Hall. Committed to TEXAS.

10. DB Landon Collins 6-1, 205, 4.4 Geismar- Dutchtown, LA

The nation’s top DB prospect is a tal-ented centerfielder who makes plays from sideline to sideline. He’s instinctive in coverage, shows great awareness and range, has above average acceleration and athleticism, and once again he dominated during the 2011 season. He possesses all the tools for greatness size, speed, instincts, reactions, attitude, and aggres-siveness, and most of all production. He totaled 102 tackles and 5 picks on his way to earning 1st Team All-State honors in 2010. He also returned a kickoff back for 85 yds and a punt 89 yards for scores. The state’s Player of the Year for 2011, he earned All-State honors on both sides of the ball rushing for 1,218 yds and 21 TDs averaging 13.7 yds per carry, and totaled 45 tackles and 4 picks in which he returned 2 back for scores. He’s been timed in a 10.8 100 meters in track. Commit-ted to ALABAMA.

11. RB Rushel Shell 6-0, 215, 4.45 Aliquippa-Hopewell, PA

Over the past four years there has been no stopping Mr. Shell. Now that he owns most of the WPIAL rushing records, next stop is college ball. He blends great size with remarkable balance, quickness, and body control. Has a terrifi c burst, is quick through the hole, and reminds me an awful lot of Lesean McCoy. He’s been timed in 10.8 100 meters in track, and ran for 2,510 yds and 27 TDs on 323 carries in 2010. This season he carried the ball 311 times for 2,312 yds and 28 TDs in 2011 on his way to, once again, earning 1st Team All-State honors. Committed to PITTSBURGH.

5 All-America Team

January 2012

12. QB Jameis Winston 6-4, 196, 4.56 Hueytown, AL

The state’s #1 prospect and one of the country’s top two signal callers. Jameis is not only a standout in football but is also considered to be one of the country’s top baseball players. He threw for 2,342 yds and 17 TDs and ran for an additional 870 yds on his way to earning All-State honors in 2010. Earned All-Metro Player of the Year honors in 2011 after throwing for 2,424 yds and 28 TDs and was picked off just twice, and rushed for 1,065 yds in leading his team to the 5A semi-fi nal game. For his career rushed for 2,912 yds and 35 TDs and passed for 6,871 yds and 67 TDs. His pocket management is great and scrambling ability excellent, so good in fact that he does not want to be labeled as a runner. He shows exceptional arm strength, poise under pressure, and is a superior athlete. His GPA is a perfect 4.0. Committed to FSU.

13. ATH Nelson Agholor 6-2, 180, 4.5 Tampa- Berkeley Prep, FL

Nelson is considered the state of Florida’s top prospect at three different positions, WR, CB, and KR. On defense, once again this season, he showed terrifi c instincts, quick reactions, read quarterbacks well, and displayed the leaping ability and smooth backpedal that allowed him to dominate receivers. On the other side of the ball he is a sure handed receiver with all the way kind of speed, and it’s the same balance, instincts, and agility that he uses on the defensive side of the ball. Totaled 1,440 yds at both the RB and WR positions as a junior, and picked

off 3 passes and broke up 14 others while returning 4 kickoffs and punts back for scores. This season earned All-Tampa area honors rushing for 1,983 yds and 28 TDs. Visits FSU, USC, FL, NOTRE DAME, and OK.

14. ATH Stefon Diggs 6-0, 175, 4.4 Olney-Good Counsel, MD

One of the premier athletes in the nation, he’s a fi ve-star player who can do it all at the WR or FS positions. He’s one of those athletes with the right combination of body control, burst, and instincts. Earned All-State honors in 2010 after catching 43 passes for 811 yds and 15 TDs and rushing for 506 yds and 6 scores. On defense he returned 2 of his 5 picks back for scores. Earned 1st Team All-State honors and was named Player of the Year in the state of Maryland in 2011 after catching 36 passes for 770 yds and 8 TDs leading his team to a 12 and 0 record. Also recorded 31 tackles and 4 picks at DB. Had 10 TDs of 37 yards or more this fall. Visits MI, MD, FL, MIAMI, CAL, VA, and VA TECH.

15. WR Cayleb Jones 6-2, 190, 4.5 Austin High, TX

One of the top three prospects in the state of Texas, he shows the speed, quickness, hands, and heart to make a difference at the WR position. An impact player in 2011, he proved to be a sure handed receiver with outstanding moves in the open fi eld. He played big in big games and proved that he could absorb a hard hit, keep his feet, and hand onto the ball. Shows the outstanding body control to make acrobatic catches in traffi c and he’s a two-time 1st Team All-Stater. He caught 91 passes for 1,141 yds and 9 TDs in 2010. This season Cayleb

earned 1st Team All-Centex and All-State honors at WR collecting 1,200 yds in receptions this fall. His 239 career receptions are 5th in state his-tory and his 3,171 receiving yards rank 20th. His father, Robert, was a linebacker with the Dallas Cowboys and the 1992 NFC Rookie of the Year. Committed to TEXAS.

16. LM Arik Armstead 6-7, 275, 5.0 Pleasant Grove, CA

One of the nation’s premier LT and DE prospects. An explosive 285 pounder, he’s very strong and dominant at the point of attack, can bend off the edge, and shows explosive moves towards the QB on defense. This year on offense he dominated from the LT position showing good awareness and the ability to change direction quickly. He has proven to be one of the best hand fi ghters in the west. Has the frame to weigh 320 in college and should be a good DE and a potential great LT. This season earned 1st Team All-Metro honors at OT. He committed early to USC but has since decided to take other visits with AL, NOTRE DAME, TX, AUBURN, OR, and CAL.

17. DT Eddie Goldman 6-4, 295, 5.2 Washington D.C.- Friendship

The nation’s premier DT prospect is, right now, a better run stuffer than pass rusher but does well at both. During the 2011 season he was constantly double and triple-teamed and that did not seem to bother this 295 pounder with enormous strength. He’s good at shooting gaps and penetrating into the opposition’s back-fi eld, and he continuously disrupts the fl ow of the offense. Totaled 40 tackles and 5½ sacks on his way to earning H-M All-MET honors in 2010. This season earned 1st Team All-Metro honors. Vis-its AL, FSU, MIAMI, AUBURN, CAL, CLEMSON, and MD.

All-America Team 6

18. OL D.J. Humphries 6-6, 265, 4.86 Charlotte- Mallard Creek, NC

The #1 prospect in the state of North Carolina proved why he is #1 with a dominating senior campaign. Some area scouts compare him to D'Brickshaw Fer-guson when it comes to overall athletic ability and growth potential. He looks thin at 265 but can run like a 200 pounder. A natural athlete, he can bend his knees and is the consummate LT. Over the past two years he has averaged 14 pancake blocks per game. His lowest grade of the season was 82% and his highest was 97%. A two-time 1st Team All-Stater at LT and he has not allowed a sack in three seasons. Committed to FLORIDA.

19. DB Shaq Roland 6-2, 180, 4.39 Lexington, SC

He ranks right up there with Diggs and Agholor when it comes to pure athletic ability. The #1 prospect in the state of South Carolina shows All-American skills at WR and DB. He plays the game fast and with good recovery speed. On defense he supports the run well and shows tremen-dous natural cover skills. On offense he’s a great leaper who catches the ball at its highest and proves to be one of the more explosive and elusive receivers in the country. Earned Player of the Year honors for the state of South Carolina in 2011 catching 79 passes for 1,546 yds and 19

TDs. He also ran for 305 yds and 10 scores. Averages 20 points a game as a shooting guard in basketball. Committed to SOUTH CAROLINA.

20. RB Keith Marshall 5-11, 190, 4.35 Raleigh- Millbrook, NC

He’s the #1 RB prospect in the Carolinas and he burst onto the national scene with a super sophomore year rushing for over 2,000 yds and averaging 10 yds per carry. Last season he totaled 1,600 yds and 18 TDs averaging over 7 yds per carry. This season he ran for 1,891 yds and 25 TDs on his way to earning All-State mention. He’s been timed in a 10.6 100 meters in track. His GPA is a perfect 4.3. He’s a great combination of speed, acceleration, and instincts. An instinctive back who is dynamite on the perimeter. Committedto GEORGIA.

21. OL Zach Banner 6-8, 320, 5.2 Lakewood Lakes, WA

The son of Lincoln Kennedy, Zach pos-sesses all the tools for greatness. Right now he gets by on pure athletic ability and size, and in fact, he dominates. No telling how good he could be once he hits the weight room and gives up basketball. He has freakish size and is a natural ath-lete, and those two together are a deadly combination. The consummate LT, he’s a two-time 1st Team All-Stater who did not allow a sack in 2011. Visits OK, MI, NOTRE DAME, USC, and WA.

22. OL Jarron Jones 6-5, 310, 5.2 Rochester Aquinas, NY

39. CB Tee Shepard 6-1, 190, 4.5 Fresno-Central, CA

Quick-footed and agile, he does a good job of press-ing the line and picking and sliding. As competitive as they come, when healthy, he ranks among the nation’s premier RB prospects.
