2013 Rivals/Scout/etc. National & Regional Rankings

Free 247 - The first five-stars for 2013

Jalin Marshall

Vitals: Athlete/Quarterback, Middletown (Ohio) High School, 6-0/190

Why he's a five-star: Though he plays quarterback in high school, we feel Marshall projects best to wide receiver or defensive back on the next level and his 1,400-plus yards rushing from under center is a good indication of why. One of the most exciting players in the class of 2013 with the ball in his hands, Marshall is incredibly creative and has the versatility to hurt opponents in numerous ways.

Recruitment: Currently, Marshall lists Notre Dame and Ohio State as his top two programs but has offers from around the country and his list is growing. Ohio State has always been a favorite for Marshall but the Irish have found themselves firmly in the mix in his recruitment.

Jaylon Smith

Vitals: Outside linebacker, Fort Wayne (Ind.) Bishop Luers, 6-3/215

Why he's a five-star: On the hoof, Smith has the kind of frame you want a young outside linebacker to have, he has length and plenty of room for added weight. Smith is also a terrific athlete that sheds blocks with ease, plays with great leverage and is a great striker. Though he likely projects at outside linebacker or possibly even defensive end, Smith also plays running back in high school. In his first game of 2011, Smith rushed for 222 yards three touchdowns.

Recruitment: Smith currently holds offers from the likes of Indiana, Tennessee, Purdue, Mississippi State and Ohio State. Although Smith won?t publicly admit it, it's hard to believe that Ohio State doesn't have the edge in his recruitment. Smith's brother, Rod is a redshirt freshman running back for the Buckeyes.

Free Scout - Midwest: 2013's On the Move

Today, Scout named it's first two five-stars in the Midwest, Jalin Marshall and Shane Morris. Now we want to take a look at others who are on the cusp, and a few fellow juniors that are making noise.

The next guy in, as far as a five-star, would have been Jaylon Smith from Fort Wayne Bishop Luers. He's a fantastic athlete that I think will end up as a great edge rusher in college. He's 6'3, 220 now, but can easily carry a lot more weight.

Ohio is always loaded, and Marlington's Dymonte Thomas, Trotwood-Madison's Cameron Burrows, and Austintown Fitch's Billy Price are three guys that I could see being considered for the top 50-100 next year. Thomas, a safety prospect, is a big hitter who can cover as well. Burrows is one of the top cover corners in the Midwest, and Price is one of the most relentless defensive linemen in his class. Of course, Ohio is always loaded and Hudson linebacker Ben Gedeon, Wayne lineman Lovell Peterson, Pickerington Central defensive end Taco Charlton and Hilliard Darby cornerback Caleb Day are among the others we hold in high regard.

Indiana is all about the defense, as Avon defensive end Elijah Daniel and Warren Central's hard hitting linebacker Tim Kimbrough are two of the state's top juniors.

Free 24/7 - Update: The Top247 for 2013

12/28

Of note:

Big Movers

MarQuez North, ATH, Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek
Move: 175 spots to No. 63
A big athlete with lots of versatility, North saw a big jump thanks in large part to a junior season that included over 1,000 yards receiving at 28 yards per catch and 19 touchdowns.

Eli Woodard, CB, Voorhees (N.J.) Eastern
Move: 119 spots to No. 95
In Woodard's junior film it is clear that he has developed physically and is much more than just a cover corner. His ability to show toughness at the point of attack is a big reason for his jump.

New arrivals

Logan Tuley-Tillman, OT, Peoria (Ill.) Manual
Debut ranking: No. 38
Tuley-Tillman has the highest debut ranking due to his terrific offensive tackle frame that has drawn interest and offers from the likes of Notre Dame, Ohio State and Michigan all in the last month.
