Helmholdt is doing a great job. A few rankings are puzzling but can't complain when the guy is out there going to tons of games every weekend as well as Givler who Josh seems to listen to.

Well said. Rivals guys are some of the most tireless in-person evaluators.

Free Rivals - Four stars awarded to more of 2013's best

Of note:

Ezekiel Elliot
T.J. Logan
Alex Anzalone
Mike Heuermen
Hunter Bivin
Shane Jones

"Ezekiel Elliott does not play against the greatest competition but it is hard to ignore his combination of size and speed," Perroni said. "At 6-feet and 200 pounds he is still incredibly fast in the open field. He is not a typical all-purpose scatback type, but he also excels as a receiver out of the backfield. I expect his stock to soar this spring as more schools see his film."

"Alex Anzalone is a big, mobile linebacker who is starting to blow up based on his junior film," Farrell said. "He is a physical kid, squares up well and is a sure tackler. He's also good in coverage and has excellent instincts and he can play middle or strongside. Yannick Ngakoue is a big linebacker who moves very well and has some quick-twitch ability. It's rare to find such a big kid, especially in the lower body, who can move so well laterally and backwards. He is still raw, but his ceiling is very high."

"Heuerman has quickly emerged as the top tight end prospect in the Sunshine State heading into the spring," said Rivals.com Analyst Chris Nee. "He is a well-balanced option as he is a more-than-capable receiver down the field, but can also stay at the line of scrimmage and provide adequate blocking on the edge."

"Bivin is a massive tackle who is strong and has very good feet for someone his size," Niebuhr said. "I particularly like what he does as a pass blocker. He not only has an excellent punch but is smart enough to use his long reach to his advantage."

"Shane Jones is not the biggest, nor the fastest nor the most athletic linebacker out there, but he simply makes plays," Helmholdt said. "He is a much better athlete than he is given credit for, but it is instincts for the linebacker position that really separates him. I had a chance to watch him in a key rivalry game, and besides being the leading tackler, Jones also made an outstanding interception that he returned for a touchdown. He then went down to the U.S. Army Junior Combine in Texas last month and showed the ability to turn and run with the top backs in the country."

It's a NJ preps site, they aren't involved in national rankings.

The Virginia rivals' guys said Derrick Green is their likely #1 even though EJ Levenberry is ranked much higher by the national guys.

Exactly...Bucknuts is releasing their top 50 right now but that might not necessarily reflect where they are ranked nationally...

Updated Rankings Class of 2013
By Scott Kennedy
Director of Scouting
Posted Mar 7, 2012

If the Class of 2012 was the year of the linemen, both offensive and defensive, the Class of 2013 is shaping up to be the year the quarterback makes a comeback. Of the last four classes, only 2013 breaks 20 quarterbacks in the Scout 300 with a whopping 29 signal callers in the Scout 300 this year.

The last several classes have been dominated by running quarterbacks, while Major League Baseball has talked about how many great high school pitchers have come out of high school during the same timeframe. It looks like some of those big bodied throwers are making their way back to the gridiron, because there are some big, athletic quarterbacks in this class led by No. 1 overall Max Browne (6'5/200) of Skyline High School in Sammamish, Wash. and Tyrone Swoopes (6'5/220) of Whiteright High School in Whiteright, Texas...

Many, many notables.
