Who's ready to talk Class of 2020?

When high school football season kicks off this month, we’ll all have a pretty good idea who the top seniors in America are. A lot of rising juniors are already household names, as well. But now it’s time to welcome the sophomore class to the party. This fall, the class of 2020 gets its first heavy dose of collective action around the country and with the release of the Top100 for the class of 2020, we’ve got you covered on the names to know.

Who’s No. 1?
It’s a rare feat to hang on to the No. 1 spot in the rankings from start to finish and the next guy with that opportunity is Bryan Bresee out of Damascus, Md. At 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, Bresee has the size to hang on to the title. He’s got the athleticism, too. We saw it first hand at The Opening D.C. Regional when he was one of the best pass rushers in attendance despite being the youngest on hand and showed rare quickness with a 4.2 short shuttle time. With 20 offers already, college programs are clearly believers. Already Ohio State seems to have carved out a good position in his recruitment which is fitting considering the Joey Bosa comparisons that are already emerging.
In this initial release, the other prospect most heavily considered for No. 1 was Kevin Pyne out of Millis, Mass. Pyne is rare at 6-foot-8, 275 pounds with quickness and athleticism and college coaches are high on his upside, but he’s not a player we’ve been able to evaluate in person, he’s still predictably very raw and how tall is he going to get? Pyne also has offers from around the country and is generating a lot of excitement from offensive line coaches.

No five-stars?
We’re not ready to name any five-stars in this initial release but with more exposure to these guys this fall, it shouldn’t take long to get there and there are several that we expect to be in contention. In addition to Bresee and Pyne, Jason Harris out of Arizona has everything we look for in a five-star prospect with size at 6-foot-6 and basketball athleticism as an edge rusher.
Virginia running back Chris Tyree has maybe the best film of any prospect on this list and has a great shot at a fifth star if he adds the size we expect him to over the next year or so. Pennsylvania wide receiver Julian Fleming is a good basketball player, a 23-foot long jumper and the No. 1 receiver in the country in this initial release. He certainly has five-star upside. As does Leonard Manuel, a 6-foot-4 wide receiver/tight end/linebacker/defensive end out of Florida that is one of the most intriguing players in this entire class.

Speaking of DT recruiting, from the UGA board: quote:Chris Nee on 247 FSU reported a week or so ago that Alabama has a good shot to flip Cooper. Speaking of Robert Cooper, 6-2 377 from Snellville, GA.
Don't know how much of a shot Bama has but he is supposed to be pretty athletic for his massive size. If he really is 6'2 though his optimum weight for nose would be like Josh Chapman weight or right at 300

The top arm
We are slow-playing this quarterback class and you’re not going to run into an arm until you hit Jack Miller of Arizona at No. 47 nationally. He just edged out Harrison Bailey out of Georgia as the top quarterback in our initial release. They are players that we could see in the five-star range down the line but we want to see how they develop before we bestow top 10 expectations upon them.
California signal-caller Bryce Young comes in as the No. 3 quarterback but may have the best film of any arm in the class. He’s just limited with his size at under 6-foot. Another California quarterback with much less varsity tape but with more physical ability is DJ Uiagalelei out of St. John Bosco. While we try to limit this list to prospects with varsity experience, there are exceptions and his rare arm talent is one of those exceptions. From a pure talent standpoint, he’s the best quarterback in this class but he will be a backup once again this fall behind senior Iowa State commit Re-al Mitchell.

State breakdown
With 13 names each on the list, Florida and Texas lead the way in terms of geographic representation. Georgia continues to turn the Big 3 into a Big 4 for talent production by landing the third most players on the list at 12 with California fielding 10 names in the ranking.
The state of Tennessee continues to be an emerging talent hotbed leading the next tier of states with six names along with Maryland. In rough drafts of the ranking, Tennessee had as many as eight names in the tally.
Arizona, Virginia, North Carolina and Louisiana all put four names on the list. Among the four for North Carolina, two are teammates ranked within the top 10 in Porter Rooks and Jacolbe Cowan out of Providence Day School in Charlotte.

Early commitments
There are verbal commitments and then there are freshman verbal commitments. The first is non-binding, the second is something even less stable. There are four schools with the task of keeping a Top100 player committed for the next three years led by Oklahoma and their running back pledge out of Texas, Jase McClellan. As the current No. 1 in Texas, that’s a big pickup for the Sooners but they will undoubtedly get plenty of competition for the back in the coming months and years.
Redesigned helmets for all 32 NFL teams
Miami continues its typical fast start with a commitment out of the No. 13 player in safety Avantae Williams. Texas A&M has another talented offensive lineman locked up in Jordan Jefferson out of Navasota, Texas, and Louisville has landed one of the most athletic edge rushers anywhere in the country in Latarie Kinsler out of Pahokie, Fla.

Vince Wilfork was 6-2, 325 holding the point.
Cooper carries 380 well if that's accurate. He's a load on his highlights, no one is getting leverage on him(even with double teams).

If we take another commit this soon, then I'm going to be concerned because we are running out of room.
Just kidding, I just wanted to say that

Richie Bresee says his son from an early age was always “ahead of other kids” regarding his athletic prowess.
On this day he’s ahead of all the kids in the 247Sports Recruiting Rankings.
In our debut for the 2020 class, it’s the 6-foot-5, 260-pound Bryan Bresee sitting at No. 1.
“It’s unreal,” the Damascus (Md.) High standout said. “I would have never expected this to happen. That’s amazing.”
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in the Bresee household where his father was an offensive lineman at James Madison and his mother played college basketball. Bresee also has an older sister that plays basketball at George Washington.
A competitive household laid the foundation for Bresee as a pass-rushing force last fall at Urbana High where he led the team in sacks, and that carried over to the camp circuit this past spring and summer where he impressed college coaches and us alike with dominant rep after dominant rep in 1-on-1 drills
“He’s just ahead of the curve,” the elder Bresee said “He’ll throw a ball off the backboard and dunk it with two hands. As he grew this off-season and went to some of these camps and the Nike camp and other stuff I felt like his athleticism got to a different level.”
Maryland was first to offer Bresee back in February and he is up to 19 right now including Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Penn State. He’s already building a rapport with many of these programs.
“I’ve talked to Maryland a lot, Ohio State a bunch, Penn State, I talked to Oklahoma the other day, Florida State I was on the phone with Coach (Jimbo) Fisher. I talked to Michigan a few times after I met with them. There’s been a few schools I’ve talked to.”
Ohio State is the early 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite, although Bresee himself denies a leader.
“I haven’t really listed all the schools I want to,” he added. He has been to OSU, Maryland, Penn State and Alabama among others.
“The were awesome,” he said. “Just seeing how different all of them were. All the stuff they have to offer their players at all the places is awesome.”
The only fall visit Bresee has planned is to be in the stands for the Alabama-Florida State game to open the season.
“I’ll probably go to a few Ohio State and Penn State games,” he said. “I will definitely go to those games and a few more as well.”

one of first comments said he can go be the next DB bust at Bama. Kid will likely be a S in college and Bama has 2 of the top 5 safeties in NFL right now.
