Sorry, no defensive players... and Ratphuc Hobley just missed inclusion:
Leonard Fournette, RB, St. Augustine - has there EVER been a more anticipated and highly rated prospect?
Well, yes... there was:
Josh Booty, QB, Evangel Christian - record breaker, USA Today player of the Year, praised by the likes of Bill Walsh, no less.
Several years earlier:
Mike Miley, QB, East Jefferson - as physically gifted and talented and adored by a community as anybody who ever played the position.
And then... a blank. There have been other great players, of course, but on their level of prestige? Joe McKnight?

Peyton Manning was the top recruit in his class.
Terrance Jones was highly touted.

If I recall, LSU preferred Josh Booty.

There was no chance any Manning was ever wearing purple and gold. Ever.

Kevin Faulk #1
You have to consider some of the other recent guys to come through like: Jarvis Landry, Trey Quinn, Rueben Randle, etc. all who did legendary things in highschool.

No he wasn't, Josh Booty was rated higher, and won many National Player of the Year awards. In fact, when USA Today wanted to give Manning some award in college, he allegedly commented to those around him, "Why don't you give it to Josh Booty."

Your list doesn't have Peyton Manning or Kevin Faulk? Or Marshall Faulk? Or Kevin Minor? Or Warrick Dunn?

What they did after high school probably shouldn't be the only factor here. Marshall Faulk was not a huge recruit coming out of Carver, in fact, only one division 1 school offered him a spot to play on offense, San Diego St. Warrick Dunn wasn't even his team's starting tailback. He backed up Kevin Franklin for two years before starting only one year, at quarterback. I think you meant Travis Minor, not Kevin Minor, Travis was the Catholic High running back named USA Today's national offensive player of the year.
