Top high school football players by jersey number

41. Joshua Lang, Clovis West (Fresno, Calif.), Sr., ILB, 6-2, 225, Uncommitted
Lang is an honorable mention player at inside linebacker and according to Lemming, "Shows good quickness, balance, and a nose for the ball. A sure tackler who rarely misses, he's great at diagnosing plays, shows good ball skills, and makes plays in coverage. Needs to add weight and strength but the athletic ability is certainly there."

42. Cole Champion, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), Sr., LB/S, 6-1, 195, Uncommitted
It's a great last name for a football player, and it's a great program to play in. Champion, an honorable mention player at safety, is listed as a linebacker on the roster. He recorded 68 tackles last year according to submitted stats and was a cog in the national championship team for STA.

43. Doug Brenner, Jesuit (Portland, Ore.), Jr., RB/DL, 6-3, 262, Uncommitted
Brenner is a returning MaxPreps U.S. Air Force Sophomore All-American, where he was credited with anchoring the Jesuit defensive line as a sophomore. This season, the school lists him as a running back — a very large running back.

44. Troy Hinds, Davis (Kaysville, Utah), Sr., DE, 6-5, 230, BYU
Coming in at No. 76 overall in the Class of 2012, Hinds has recorded 51 tackles and is fourth in the state with nine sacks. He's No. 11 among defensive ends, and Lemming says the two-time All-State player could also play outside linebacker in college. "He's a 230-pounder who can get to full speed in a couple of steps and excels at chasing down QB's," Lemming has said. "Shows a very good up field surge, routinely beats blockers off the ball, is an expert at batting."

45. Vince Biegel, Lincoln (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.), Sr., LB, 6-3, 220, Wisconsin
Nationally, Biegel is No. 95 overall. In Wisconsin, he's No. 1. That has caused a lot of people to overlook him, as Wisconsin is not typically a power state when it comes to producing recruits. Biegel, who is the No. 4 inside linebacker and an honorable mention outside linebacker, is the son of a former top-grade recruit and is lauded for his leadership and technical skills.

46. Tashawn Bower, Immaculata (Somerville, N.J.), Jr., WR/DE, 6-5, 235, Uncommitted
Bower was named to the Class of 2013 Top 100 Watch List. This year he's on an Immaculata team that is 6-0.

47. Quayvon Hicks, Pierce County (Blackshear, Ga.), Sr., RB/DE, 6-2, 245, Georgia
Hicks is an honorable mention choice at running back and defensive end. Lemming focuses on his defensive capabilities, stating that Hicks is "Active against the run, he is able to stack and shed, and get to outside runs. His quickness is big-time." After a disappointing team season last year, Hicks has helped Pierce County jump to a 5-2 record and 4-0 in the region.

48. Quinteze Williams, Sandy Creek (Tyrone, Ga.) Sr., DT, 6-4, 295, Florida
Williams is the No. 17 defensive tackle recruit in the Class of 2012 and just as important, his team has won 36 straight games. He's also an honorable mention player at defensive end. According to Lemming, "Q" is "A very solid tackle who is active, stays square and low, dominates the point of attack, and shows a pretty good burst coming around the corner."

49. Dan Mastromatteo, Holy Spirit (Absecon, N.J.), Sr., LB, 6-3, 230, North Carolina
Mastromatteo is an honorable mention player on the top outside linebacker recruits list. He has 43 tackles in five games so far this season. Lemming says "He's an OLB who can press and leverage the edge, he displays bend and burst, can change directions quickly, and has the closing speed the major schools are looking for. His read and react skills are off the charts. A leader both on and off the field, Dan is a playmaker who gets things done."

50. Trent Taylor, Lake Gibson (Lakeland, Fla.), Sr., DE, 6-3, 245, Miami
Taylor is the No. 16 defensive tackle in the Class of 2012 and an honorable mention defensive end with six sacks and 37 tackles this year. "Trent is a hustler from the word go, he's a power rusher who can bull rush, and a speed rusher who can quickly avoid pass blockers and get to the QB in a hurry. He always seems to get under the blocker's pads and pushes them into the backfield, and sometimes into the QB," says Lemming.
