Class of 2014 Top 100 Watch List

Following a sensational ninth-grade campaign that saw him earn MaxPreps National Freshman of the Year honors, Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.) cornerback Jabrill Peppers headlines the MaxPreps 2014 Top 100 Watch List.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Peppers burst onto the scene in Don Bosco Prep's first game, making a big interception against Gilman that helped the Ironmen rout the heavily favored Greyhounds.

As a sophomore, he will be a major contributor once again for a Don Bosco Prep squad that begins the season ranked No. 1 in the Xcellent 25.

Peppers has already attracted the interest of several Division I schools and should blossom into one of the nation's top recruits as a senior.

While traditional talent-producing states like Florida, Georgia, Texas and California are well-represented on the list, America's Heartland also boasts some recruits to keep an eye on, such as 6-6, 250-pound offensive lineman Braden Smith from South (Olathe, Kan.) and Cozad (Neb.) speedster Jake Paulsen, who was clocked at 10.6 in the 100-meter dash as a freshman.
