21. Marcus Maye, Holy Trinity Episcopal (Melbourne, Fla.), Sr., ATH/DB, 6-1, 195, Florida
Maye is Mr. Everything at Holy Trinity. And at Florida, he could be Mr. Anything. Lemming says he could end up playing free safety, cornerback or running back in college, and he's especially effective on defense. Through the first four games of the season, Maye racked up 660 rushing yards on 58 carries. He's ranked as the No. 13 athlete, No. 9 safety and an honorable mention pick at cornerback.

22. Deionte Buckley, Warren Central (Indianapolis), Sr., RB, 5-9, 198, Cincinnati
Buckley doesn't have a ton of height but he's explosive, according to Lemming. He's an honorable mention choice at tailback and he has 148 rushes for 1,128 yards and 19 rushing touchdowns. He also has 10 catches for 133 yards and a score. Lemming says "He's short but powerful and quick with excellent vision. He explodes through holes, breaks a lot of tackles, and does a great job of finishing off his runs."

23. Marcus Farria, Centennial (Peoria, Ariz.), Jr., DE, 6-5, 240, Uncommitted
Farria is one of the few juniors on the list, and his size certainly makes him worthy. According to stats from the first three games of the season, Farria posted 5.5 sacks. Azcentral.com has reported that Farria is a Louisiana transplant and he's a hot commodity on the recruiting scene.

24. Matt Jones, Armwood (Seffner, Fla.), Sr., RB, 6-3, 225, Florida
Jones is the No. 23 overall recruit, and is actually the third Jones on the list from top to bottom. He's the no. 2 big back and he's leading the No. 2 team in the nation. Despite missing time due to an injury this season, Jones is averaging just more than 10 yards per rush and has seven touchdowns in four games. Even though he's a big back that resembles a linebacker, Lemming raves about Jones' speed. (Feature story)

25. Ron Darby, Potomac (Oxon Hill, Md.), Sr., ATH, 5-11, 175, Notre Dame
He's just as famous on the track as he is on the football field. Darby posts sprint times that rest among the nation's best and his speed has helped him become the No. 26 overall recruit in the Class of 2012. He is also the No. 3 athlete and an honorable mention at cornerback. Lemming says Darby is the fastest football player in the nation and that he will be a kickoff return weapon in college.

26. Barry J. Sanders, Heritage Hall (Oklahoma City), Sr., RB, 5-11, 195, Uncommitted

This year he's rushed 45 times for 280 yards and four scores as the No. 16 big back and an honorable mention tailback. Lemming says "He is perfectly built for the RB position, he's as reliable as they come.

29. Andre Jones, Colerain (Cincinnati, Ohio), Sr., S, 6-1, 190, Cincinnati

30. Michael Rose, Rockhurst (Kansas City, Mo.), Sr., LB, 6-0, 230, Nebraska

He's ranked No. 24 among inside linebackers and honorable mention among the outside linebackers. Rose helped Rockhurst blast its way to a 14-0 record last year and once again the Hawklets are close to the Xcellent 25.
