Last year’s U.S. Air Force National Freshman of the Year is back after a ninth-grade campaign that saw him account for more than 4,000 yards of total offense.
David Sills, QB, Eastern Christian Academy (Elkton, Md.)Sills gained notoriety after committing to USC as a seventh-grader. It appears that move will pay off for the Trojans, as Sills has blossomed into a mature signal-caller.
De'Andre Johnson, QB First Coast (Jacksonville, Fla.)Yet another impact quarterback from the Class of 2015, Johnson broke onto the scene in a big way last fall, leading First Coast to the Class 7A state title game. Johnson committed to Florida State in July.
Darian Roseboro, DL, Lincolnton (N.C.)The 6-foot-4, 260-pound defensive lineman could emerge as one of the top defensive players in the Class of 2015. He’ll also take some carries at the fullback spot this fall.
Darrin Paulo, OL, Grant (Sacramento, Calif.)Grant is no stranger to top-shelf talent, and Paulo could be the next Pacer to emerge as a national recruit. At 6-8, he certainly has prototypical size.
Keon Paye, WR/DB, Our Lady of Good Counsel (Olney, Md.)Despite the fact that Good Counsel is loaded on both sides of the ball this season, Paye is pushing for a starting job as a sophomore. He possesses good size and great speed.
Canton Kaumatule, OL/DL, Punahou (Honolulu)Kaumatule will likely be the biggest Hawaii recruit since Manti T’eo. Older brother Luke committed to Stanford last year, and Canton projects to be even more sought-after.
Christian Kirk, DB, Saguaro (Scottsdale, Ariz.)Kirk was one of the first players in the Class of 2015 to receive offers. The dynamic athlete is being courted by UCLA and Arizona State.
Iman Marshall, ATH, Long Beach Poly (Calif.)Though he has yet to play a snap of varsity football, Marshall already has a reputation as one of the top young players in Southern California. Expect him to start this season for Long Beach Poly.
Bryce Love, RB, Wake Forest-Rolesville (N.C.)Love is reminiscent of 2012 North Carolina running back Keith Marshall in that he has superb speed. He’s already been clocked at 10.69 in the 100-meters - the type of speed that should make Love a national recruit.
