Its mildly comfurting that the Tackles arent any better than a 3 Star.


Offensive linemen are extremely hard to project

it has been done and, by percentage, there are more 5 stars that make it than others. More 4s than 3s and so on.


They include recruits going to Akron, Florida Atlantic etc though. Is it a higher percentage when only talking about top 25 schools?

The star system started in 2002 and since then there has 262 recruits given 5* status by Rivals. The most in any one class was 38, in 2002 and as few as 25, in 2003 and 2004.

Of those 262, 116 have been drafted (44.3%) and 42 of them in the first round (16%).

FBS schools sign about 2,500 players ever year and MAYBE 30 are 5* recruits, which makes a bit more than 1% of players signed every February 5* recruits.

I'd assume the 44.3% of 5* that have been drafted is much higher than any other caliber.

These two teams aren't really the norm when it comes to drafting. NE trades a lot of their picks and always picks late in the draft. Seattle has just drafted well overall and has hit huge with late round picks in Sherman and Chancellor.

I really think everyone is reading way too much into the OP.

Regardless of its relevance, it is pretty interesting to look back and see where these guys projected coming out of HS. Nothing more, nothing less.

Players can mature at different times, some early like HS , others college, and some don't max out until NFL. Players with low HS stars that go to small colleges that become starters or stars in the pros are examples. Evaluations by coaches are the best indicators of potential.
