Video: Preseason All-Americans Presented by DonJoy Performance // Medium School - Offense
See some of the best medium schools players in the nationMaxPreps and DonJoy have teamed up to honor the best high school football players in the nation coming into the 2016 season. They come from many different schools and many different states - but they all are immense talents.
Here are 16 of the nation’s top recruits, who also happen to be extremely productive for some of the nation’s top teams. They make up the MaxPreps Preseason Offensive Medium Schools All-Americans presented by DonJoy.
This group is led by two extremely productive quarterbacks who torched defenses for a combined 10,506 yards last season and 111 touchdowns. Of the 16 honorees, eight have thus far committed to colleges, with two pledges bound for Ohio State. Oddly enough, none of the three senior wide receiver all-Americans have committed.
States represented from this group: California (4), Texas (3), Florida (2)
and New York, Tennessee, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Washington and Alabama, all with one.
Preseason All-Americans - Medium Schools Offense
WR - Joseph Lewis,
6-1, 207,
Hawkins (Los Angeles)The nation's No. 11 senior recruit is a matchup nightmare and dominates in 1-on-1 situations. The uncommitted Lewis tallied 1,234 all-purpose yards and 10 total touchdowns last season.
WR - Devonta Smith,
6-1, 160,
Amite (La.)There are few recruits who can match the uncommitted Smith's athleticism. He recorded over 900 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns last season.
WR - Hezekiah Jones,
6-0, 193,
Stafford (Texas)The uncommitted Jones is an ultra explosive receiver and dangerous on the edge. He hauled in touchdown passes once every six catches last season.
TE - Hunter Bryant,
6-2, 238,
Eastside Catholic (Sammamish, Wash.)The nation's No. 4 recruit at his position racked up 1,137 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns in leading the Crusaders to a Washington Class 3A state title win over powerhouse Bellevue last season. Expect the Washington commit to have an even bigger year on tap.
OL - Tedarrell Slaton Jr.,
6-4, 340,
American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.)The nation's No. 2-rated guard is an imposing force. Slaton will also play a big role on the nation's No. 11 team. Michigan and Florida State appear to be the top landing spots for the uncommitted prospect.
OL - Andrew Thomas,
6-5, 310,
Pace Academy (Atlanta)Thomas helped charge the Knights to a Georgia Class 2A state championship last season. The Georgia commit is the nation's 10th-ranked offensive tackle.
OL - Trey Smith,
6-5, 299,
University School of Jackson (Tenn.)The nation's ninth-ranked tackle has 27 college offers. Smith is poised to spur the Bruins to a state title run after a Tennessee Division 2 Class A state semifinal appearance last season. He's an uncommitted recruit.
OL - Alijah Tucker,
6-4, 291,
Bishop O'Dowd (Oakland, Calif.)The nation's 14th-ranked tackle holds 16 college offers. Tucker is uncommitted but the 247Sports Crystal Ball says he is destined for Washington.
OL - Austin Troxell,
6-7, 335,
Madison Academy (Ala.)The towering Troxell is committed to Auburn. He's the nation's 13th-ranked tackle.
QB - Myles Brennan,
6-3, 180, St. Stanislaus (Bay St. Louis, Miss.)The National Player of the Year candidate can light up a scoreboard. Brennan produced an otherworldly 5,925 total yards and 61 touchdowns last season in spearheading the Rock-a-Chaws to the Mississippi Class 4A state title game. The LSU commit is ranked the 22nd-best pro-style quarterback in the nation.
QB - Tristan Gebbia,
6-3, 180,
Calabasas (Calif.)The nation's fifth-ranked pro-style quarterback was a Medium Schools all-American second team selection last year. The Nebraska commit posted 4,435 passing yards and 45 touchdowns.
RB - Stephen Carr,
6-0, 202,
Summit (Fontana, Calif.)The USC commit is the nation's No. 3-ranked running back. Carr soared the SkyHawks to a 12-1 overall record last season and is an electric playmaker.

RB - Colin Wilson,
6-1, 220,
Clay (Green Cove Springs, Fla.)The uncommitted bulldozing back is a load to handle. Wilson rushed for 490 yards and 12 touchdowns last season in helping the Blue Devils reach the Florida Class 5A state semifinals. He's the nation's 13th-ranked running back.
RB - J.K. Dobbins,
5-9, 199,
La Grange (Texas)Dobbins proved he's arguably the top athlete in the country after being named the 2016 Nike Football Ratings Champion at The Opening. The nation's No. 3-ranked all-purpose back gashed defenses for 2,291 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns last season while averaging 10 yards a carry. The Ohio State commit is a stud.
K - Blake Haubeil,
6-3, 200,
Canisius (Buffalo, N.Y.)The nation's top-rated kicker drilled the second-longest field goal in high school football last season (61 yards). Haubeil was 33 of 35 on point after attempts and converted all four field goal attempts he tried. He's committed to Ohio State.
AP - Jaylen Gipson,
6-2, 193,
Mexia (Texas)The dynamic Gipson is rated the 15th overall pro-style quarterback in his class. He holds four offers and is uncommitted.
