7. Trey Quinn, WR, 6-0, 190, Barbe, PR: 6

Quinn is one of the most popular names on the recruiting trail, and rightfully so. The extremely productive receiver (more than 2,100 yards last season) has not been active on the camp scene this spring, but his efforts as a sprinter on the Buccaneers' track team have been quite impressive, displaying really good top-end speed.

6. Malachi Dupre, WR, 6-3, 185, John Curtis, PR: 7

It is almost absurd to have such a gifted prospect ranked this "low." Dupre has a ton of talent and he has displayed it at spring camps and last year for Curtis. However, he still has limited experience, and it can show at times. As he develops through the year, Dupre has the potential to push aside some of the other prospects in front of him. He has five-star ability and will play a vital role in Curtis making a run at two straight national championships.

5. Laurence "Hootie" Jones, Safety, 6-2, 210, Neville, PR: 5

The most physically imposing safety in the state also is one of its most athletic prospects. Jones played a lot of cornerback his sophomore season at 200 pounds and was lights out. As a safety he is extremely rangy with tremendous ball skills and the ability to punish receivers going across the middle. Don't be surprised to see Jones become more of a factor in Neville's offensive attack now that former teammate John Diarse is at LSU.

4. Gerald Willis, DL, 6-4, 270, Edna Karr, PR: 3

The younger brother of former five-star Dutchtown safety and Alabama sophomore Landon Collins, Willis has been playing at a high level since he hit the field at Karr. He could basically pick his college at this point. Willis has been tough to handle at every camp he attended during the spring. Expect big things from Willis, who could make an impact very early in his college career.

3. Devante "Speedy" Noil, WR, 5-11, 180, PR: 4

Swapping places on the list with his teammate Willis is the dynamic Noil. The state's most dangerous player is capable of changing the game at the drop of a dime. His testing numbers are through the roof and he may be the best pure athlete on the field in every game he plays this year. Karr could push for a national championship this season and if the Cougars are going to do so, much of it will fall on Noil's shoulders.

2. Cameron Robinson, OT, 6-6, 315, West Monroe, PR: 2

A good nickname for Robinson would be the "Big Nimble." He moves really well and shows natural athleticism and has a tremendous frame. In his second year at West Monroe, Robinson should see substantial improvement. He could be a tremendous lineman at the next level and has endless potential.

1. Leonard Fournette, RB, 6-1, 220, St. Augustine, PR: 1

Is there any more you can say about the nation's top prospect other than, "Wow"? Fournette is a tremendous talent and is equally impressive as an individual. His combination of size, speed, balance and toughness are just some of the attributes that make him such an elite talent. There aren't any weaknesses to his game and he is the ultimate teammate, always offering encouragement and sacrificing personal accomplishments for the team's best interest. One veteran college assistant told us Fournette is the best high school player he has seen in 30-plus years in the business. It doesn't matter what angle you look at or how hard you look, you won't find a chip in this tank's armor.

I wont be surprised since he ran the ball a lot at the end of the season anyway.
