Top 2013 NFL Draft prospects and where they went to high school

21. Jackson Jeffcoat, DE, Plano West (Texas), Texas
One of the most ballyhooed recruits from the Lone Star State in the last five years, Jeffcoat was an all-region pick as a sophomore, extremely uncommon in 5A football. He was the nation's No. 3 overall player, as well as the top defensive end and a first team All-American. He picked the Longhorns days before National Signing Day.

22. Kevin Reddick, LB, New Bern (N.C.), North Carolina
Before spending a post-graduate year at Hargrave Military Academy, Reddick was a force for New Bern, which he led to a 4AA state title over traditional power Independence. He made 189 tackles and six sacks, in addition to forcing six fumbles and blocking four punts. He was heavily recruited by a bunch of ACC schools before deciding on North Carolina.

23. T.J. McDonald, S, Edison (Fresno, Calif.), USC
Playing for his father Tim, McDonald excelled at Edison, where he played both linebacker and safety on defense as well as fullback, tight end and receiver on offense. He made three interceptions and recorded 87 tackles as a senior. Lemming ranked McDonald the No. 6 safety in the country and No. 88 recruit overall. He committed to USC early in the recruiting process and eventually signed with the Trojans.

24. Eugene (Geno) Smith, QB, Miramar (Fla.), West Virginia
Smith led the offense for one of Broward County's top programs, completing 205 of 308 passes for 3,089 yards and 32 scores while rushing for more than 300 yards. He was ranked the nation's No. 10 combo passer, behind the likes of Aaron Murray, Russell Shepherd, Tyrik Rollison and Tajh Boyd. However, Smith has blossomed at West Virginia, as the Mountaineers continue to benefit from the pipeline they have established with Miramar.

25. Ray Ray Armstrong, S, Seminole (Sanford, Fla.), Miami
In Armstrong's sophomore season, Seminole finished 1-9. By the time he was a senior, Seminole was in the Class 6A state title game, in which it downed Dade County powerhouse Northwestern. Armstrong led that Seminole squad offensively, but also made 70 tackles and three interceptions on defense. He was the nation's No. 94 recruit in the class of 2009.

26. Keenan Allen, WR, Northern Guilford (Greensboro, N.C.), California
At 6-3, 200 pounds, Allen was nearly impossible to defend on the high school level. He finished his senior season with an amazing 53 total touchdowns. Allen also tallied eight interceptions on defense. Lemming had Allen as the No. 8 recruit in the country, No. 51 overall. Allen ended up signing with Cal, spurning Alabama late in the game.

27. Christine Michael, RB, West Brook (Beaumont, Texas), Texas A&M
Michael was the nation's No. 82 recruit and was a major recruiting victory for Texas A&M. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards in his final three seasons at West Brook and captured District 21-5A MVP honors twice.

28. Joseph Fauria, TE, Crespi (Encino, Calif.), UCLA
Given his 6-7 frame, Fauria was also a basketball star for Crespi, averaging 14.9 points and 9.4 rebounds as a senior. On the football field, he had 516 yards receiving and eight scores. He made 28 tackles and five sacks on defense. Fauria signed with Notre Dame out of high school. He was outside of the Top 100, ranked behind Kyle Rudolph, Jonathan Baldwin and Blake Ayles.

29. John Adams, CB, Buchtel (Akron, Ohio), Michigan State
Adams moved to quarterback as a senior, lining up behind center when he wasn't roaming the secondary for Buchtel. He made a whopping 115 tackles from the secondary to go along with three interceptions. He picked Michigan State over several Big Ten and Big East offers.

30. E.J. Manuel, QB, Bayside (Virginia Beach, Va.), Florida State
At 6-5, 208 pounds, Manuel had all the tools coming out of Bayside. He drew comparisons physically to former Florida State quarterback Xavier Lee, but has already enjoyed a more productive career with the Seminoles. He was the nation's no. 16 recruit overall, and the nation's No. 3 quarterback behind Terrelle Pryor and Dayne Crist.
