Jarrett Guarantano

Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic

Recruiting wrap: Guarantano has been close to committing a few times but it looks like his recruitment will end in mid-April. Ohio State was the leader early on but the Buckeyes have fallen off the pace over the past month or so. Urban Meyer will get his chance to impress when the Rivals100 quarterback returns to Columbus in early April. Tennessee made a very good impression on Guarantano when he was in Knoxville earlier this week but Rutgers, the hometown team, is still very much in the mix.

Likely destination: Tennessee

Analyst breakdown: Guarantano's teammates didn't do him any favors last season but he still played like a Rivals100 prospect. His arm strength, vision and playmaking ability while on the run gives his team a chance to score on virtually every play. When Guarantano is able to set his feet and read the defense, he has very little trouble finding the open receiver.
