Stanford is riding its momentum from the 2012 class into 2013, with a commitment from Burns and linebackers Doug Randolph and Isaac Savaiinaea. If Burns can lure teammate Jonathan Allen to Palo Alto, the Cardinal will be getting one of the nation's top pass rushers. After a historic haul on the offensive line, defense will likely be a priority. Having already secured two solid linebackers, look for David Shaw and staff to focus on the secondary, with Chris Hawkins looking like the first domino. Gerhart is the younger brother of former Stanford star Toby, while Kaumatule, brother of 2012 Stanford recruit Luke, could be a blue chip recruit in 2015.
