MaxPreps 2014 Preseason Junior Football All-American Team

The nation's No. 1 recruit in the 247Composite Rankings, Allen offensive lineman Greg Little, leads the MaxPreps 2014 Preseason Junior All-American Team.

He's joined by fellow blue-chip tackles Ben Cleveland and Patrick Hudson, both of whom earned MaxPreps Sophomore All-American honors a year ago.

Reigning National Sophomore of the Year Cameron Chambers also earned a spot on the list, as did 2012 National Freshman of the Year Nick Bosa, who should be in store for a monstrous junior season.

{PAGEBREAK}
First Team Defense

Nicholas Bosa, DL, 6-3, 220, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.)
Bosa battled injuries but still accounted for 10 sacks last year. When fully healthy, he's as good as any defensive lineman in this class.

Shavar Manuel, DL, 6-3, 260, Blake (Tampa, Fla.)
Manuel was relatively unknown after last season. He's now the No. 2 recruit in the 247Composite.

Gary enjoyed an outstanding summer and should thrive at his new school.

Edwin Oliver, DL, 6-2, 285, Westfield (Houston)
Oliver was a force in the middle for Westfield, making 62 tackles and three sacks.



Daelin Hayes, LB, 6-3, 225, St. Mary Prep (Orchard Lake, Mich.), Michigan
Hayes' sophomore season was marred by injury, but he looks primed for a huge junior campaign. He is the top junior in the state of Michigan.

Keion Joyner, LB, 6-4, 204, Havelock (N.C.)
Expect a huge junior season from Joyner, the No. 1 linebacker in the 247Composite.

Devin White, LB, 6-2, 225, North Webster (Springhill, La.)
The Shreveport Times Offensive Player of the Year also starred on defense, tallying 99 tackles at linebacker in addition to 1,094 yards and 20 scores on offense. He's a coveted running back recruit.

Jaquan Yulee, LB, 6-2, 215, Lakeland (Suffolk, Va.)
Yulee followed up his debut season with a 10th-grade performance that earned him all-conference honors.

Lyndell "Mack" Wilson, LB, 6-3, 215, Carver (Montgomery, Ala.)
Wilson made 61 tackles and brought down the quarterback seven times. He's the No. 2-rated linebacker in the 247Composite.

Marvin Terry, LB, 6-2, 210, South Oak Cliff (Dallas)
Terry can also line up with his hand on the ground, where he spent much of the season for South Oak Cliff. He recorded 109 tackles and 19.5 sacks to go along with Class 4A all-state honors.



Deontay Anderson, DB, 6-2, 180, Manvel (Texas)
Anderson was outstanding, for 12-2 Manvel. He made 67 tackles and broke up eight passes.

Nate Craig, DB, 6-3, 200, Tampa Catholic (Fla.), Auburn
A fixture on the recruiting scene from his ninth-grade season, Craig is an absolute freak. He could end up being one of the top recruits in his class.

Brandon Jones, DB, 6-0, 180, Nacogdoches (Texas)
It's no surprise that Jones already has a scholarship offer from Texas A&M. He recorded 95 tackles and five interceptions as a sophomore.

Khalil Ladler, DB, 6-1, 185, Stephenson (Stone Mountain, Ga.)
A shutdown corner with a safety side, Ladler intercepted four passes, including one he returned for a touchdown.
