The Early Signing Period is wrapping up on Friday and many of the nation's top prospects have already signed with their respective programs. But a number of blue chip recruits elected not to sign this week, so we’ve decided to check in on the top uncommitted prospects in the country.

Twenty-five of the top 250 prospects in the 247Sports Composite rankings for the class of 2019 have yet to announce where they will play in college, including five 5-star prospects and four of the top 10 players in the class.

With that in mind, let’s see where things stand in the recruitment of the top undecided prospects in the country coming out of the Early Signing Period, according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball.

4) DARNELL WRIGHT | OT



High school: Huntington (W.V.)

Measurables: 6-6 | 320

247Sports Composite: 5-star (0.9944), No. 10 Overall, No. 1 OT

Evaluation: Carries 315 pounds like it is 285. Aggressive, long and moves well laterally. Strong lower body helps him recover quickly. Has the foot speed and mentality to play left tackle. Has nasty streak. He is athletic, bends well at the knees and is quick. Changes direction well and can combat speed and strength pass rushers. Runs well and gets to second level blocks quickly. Is fluid when he pulls. Competes hard. Needs to improve technique. Powerful initial punch but needs to be more consistent with hand placement. Dips head and gets caught off balance at times. Upper tier Power 5 multi-year starter with first-round potential. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Brian Dohn

NFL Draft projection: Second round

Player comparison: Terron Armstead | OT | New Orleans Saints

247Sports Crystal Ball: Tennessee 88% | Alabama 6% | Ohio State 6%

9) KHRIS BOGLE | WDE



High school: Cardinal Gibbons, Ft Lauderdale, FL

Measurables: 6-4 | 215

247Sports Composite: 4-star (0.9701), No. 57 Overall, No. 3 WDE

Evaluation: Streamlined physique with exceptionally long arms that nearly hang to his knees. Slender build with room to pack on significant weight. Appears taller than he measures due to his length and build. Fluid speed rusher who uses his length and long stride to make plays in the backfield. Uses his range to track down plays in backside pursuit. Good athlete who should improve his explosion, strength and size with time in a college level strength and nutrition program.

Will need time early in his career as he’s underdeveloped physically. Needs to continue getting stronger, which will aid in setting the edge and holding his ground at the point of attack. Projects as a late-career Power 5 starter who should see considerable improvement over the course of his college career with his best football being played as an upperclassman. Should hear his name called on the second day of the NFL draft. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Charles Power

NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2)

Player comparison: Barkevious Mingo | OLB | Seattle Seahawks

247Sports Crystal Ball: Miami 88% | Tenn. 4% | Louisville 4% | Bama 4%

16) NOA POLA-GATES | CB



High school: Williams Field (Gilbert, AZ)

Measurables: 6-1 | 180

247Sports Composite: 4-star (0.9352), No. 153 Overall, No. 18 CB

Evaluation: Lean and wiry frame. Looks strong at 180 pounds, and could add mass without sacrificing flexibility. Athletic in coverage, instinctive and aggressive on plays in front of him. Versatile player that can fill several spots in a secondary. Not afraid of one-on-one matchups. Highly competitive. Can cover chunks of yardage and react to the quarterback. Quickness to be very effective against slot receivers as nickel. Savvy enough to guard the perimeter against bigger wideouts. Needs to add size and become more durable. Could improve his tackling. Major potential to be multi-year Power 5 starter and future second-day NFL Draft selection.

22) DEONDRICK GLASS | RB



High school: Katy (Texas)

Measurables: 5-11 | 200

247Sports Composite: 4-star (0.9138), No. 227 Overall, No. 12 RB

Evaluation: Glass plays for a program that has been tradition-rich with producing D1-level running backs and he is next in line and may end up being the best of a strong bunch. He runs with a good center of gravity and balance and that makes him hard to easily knock off of his feet. He will make yardage after first contact. He can pick up the tough yardage in the middle of the field, but has the speed and power to make long-distance plays as well. – 247Sports Midlands Recruiting Analyst Gabe Brooks
