It’s still very early for the class of 2013. The verdict wont truly be in for at least two more seasons, and in some cases four. But the current freshman class is already making big plays on the field on Saturdays in meaningful games and we’re already getting a feel for where we were on the mark, and inevitably where we missed.

Below, I take a look at how I would reshuffle the 5-star rankings for the class of 2013 based on what we know today and continuing to project for NFL potential.

Note: this is purely an exercise and doesn’t affect the actual rankings. The list below also does not include prep school standouts like Georgia’s Leonard Floyd. This list is pulled strictly from freshmen that were in the high school class of 2013.
