[espnu150][5star]RB (#2) Robbie Smith 5'9 203 lbs, Niceville, FL

Robbie possesses great acceleration and strength when running through the hole. FSU expects him to be an impact player after a redshirt season. He was a life long nole and signed immediately during summer camp.

[espnu150][5star]DT (#2) Fred James 6'3 261 lbs, Bellview, FL

Fred inked with the noles upon offer also growing up a huge fan of the garnet and gold. He has great acceleration, strength, and nearly flawless tackling ability, after a year or two with his new DL coach he should have the moves to make a big impact on the line.

[espnu150][4star]TE (#3) Micah Slater 6'4 230 lbs, Cutler, FL

Micah comes in at a position of need and will instantly become 2nd string when he arrives on campus. He has good speed and catching ability, but his stiffness leaves him less of a star than the previous two stud TEs FSU has signed.

[espnu150][4star]OT (#6) Cory George 6'6 330 lbs, East Bradenton, FL

Cory saw the depth chart during an unofficial visit and instantly new where he wanted to spend the next 4 years of his life. He has excellent foot work and strength in the passing and running games but requires some time being trained on his overall technique. You can't teach his mammoth size though.

Wisconsin manages to sign their first ever in Week 1... signing two in fact.

Tyler is a special player with the abilities to step on the field day 1 for practically any team and compete. His speed isn't top-end for a receiver but his ability to catch any pass that is thrown in his direction makes you quickly overlook that fact. Combined with what he's able to do with the ball once he has it, he's sure to be a force that Big 10 defenses will have to contend with for several years to come. Depending on the rest of the Wisconsin recruiting class, Tyler has potential to split duties at runningback.

D | C+ | B- | C+ | C+ | B- | B | B | C+ Pratt is a huge body with mobile feet and the awareness that you look for in a blindside offensive tackle. With only two tackles returning in 2016, the Badgers were looking for someone exactly as Pratt is developed. With his early signing, they'll be able to branch out elsewhere for talent.

White will be welcomed into College Station to shore up a defensive backfield lacking in both talent and tackling power. With both Oklahoma and Texas on his interest list, White was a surprise early commitment to the Aggies.

The Aggies entered 2015 with a massive headache at Tight End, especially with the impending graduation of Senior TE Williams. Manning must have heard of this need before the recruiting period opened, because he committed to the Aggies after only twenty minutes into their first phone call of the Recruiting season. Coach JeffHCross was said to be overjoyed by the commitment, as it reduced a lot of the recruiting anxiety he had entering this year.

Josh is an intimidating player. Standing 6'5" in the middle of the field gives Quarterbacks the shakes as he closes a lot of windows that normally would be open. Surprisingly for his frame he also has good speed and wraps up tackles very well. Josh will probably use a redshirt year to determine if he can play LB at the college level or become a stand-up DE.

SPD|AGI|MCV|ZCV
B|B-|C+|C+
White's commitment follows the Week 1 commitment of his cousin, SS Joseph White. While the cornerback doesn't possess the top-end speed of many cornerback recruits, he does come to College Station with the lateral quickness necessary to enhance the current Aggie defensive backfield. With two senior cornerbacks graduating, the Aggies have some holes to fill, and White may get an early shot at playing time.

Johnny Gibson
#51 OLB

ACC|AGI|PUR|HPW
B-|B-|B|B
Another Junior College transfer looking for a chance with the Aggies, Gibson will give the Aggies defense a chance to gain some depth among the linebacker corps. Gibson showed interest in other Texas and Pac-10 schools, but the Aggies, who were originally not in his Top 10, were the only school to show interest in the young Sophomore. While lacking an attention-grabbing 40 time, Gibson's game film has shown an ability to find the ball carrier among traffic and deliver a hit. He may move to inside linebacker in the Aggie defense.

Jerome Pierce
#4 FB

SPD|ACC|RBS|RBF

Pierce is a reach for the Aggies, who lost a lot of talent last with the graduation of their senior at Fullback. Freshman Andrew Campbell has stepped in to provide a measure of support, but Campbell has proven to be outmatched on the Pac-10 fields. Pierce should provide a more athletic option for the Aggies at FB, though he is considering a freshman redshirt, so he can gain a measure of experience before taking Kyle Field.

Williams played receiver in high school but his big body (and slow speed) leaves him more to playing as a Tight End on the next level. However, his blocking skills still need to develop so he'll find himself watching more than playing his Freshman year.

Duncan went completely overlooked by presumably all other schools but his current talents lend him the possibility of contributing over the course of his Big Ten career after a couple of years to develop.

Franz is one of the gems of the Wisconsin recruiting class and will be a monster in the coming years. He'll likely move to the middle of the field to put his agility to good use though time will tell depending on how the rest of the Badgers linebackers develop. Every school in the country wanted Franz.

Christian Jones
#4 SS | #51 OVR

B+ | B+ | B- | B- | B- | B- | B | B- | B- | C+ | C
Christian is a perfect fit for the Badgers' 3-3-5 defense and will likely have solid playing time his Freshman year with the departure of SS stud Brent Chavis. While his coverage skills are not quite developed, he will be a head-hunter in finding the ball.

Leon Marquardt

Leon was overlooked by most schools but the moment Wisconsin offered him a scholarship, he instantly signed. While he isn't ready to move to offensive tackle, he'll make a perfect center or guard as a big-body that can clear a path.

I don't have attributes since I can't log into the wire and see anything but -

#1 SS and 5 Star recruit Jermaine Rucker is a Trojan. Rucker shows great promise and may be asked to play right away as starting SS Matt Miller is projected to leave early for the draft.

#3 OLB David Burks. David comes into a very young unit as USC has put a focus on LBs the past years. A redshirt year will allow David to focus his skills so he can dominate when he gets the chance.

Eagle Pass, TX

Pocket Passer
THP|THA
B+|B
Williams is the epitome of a Pocket Passer, and will be the eleventy-billionth "Williams" on the A&M roster. Despite not having much in the way of mobility, Williams was able to impress A&M scouts enough with his arm and accuracy to warrant a scholarship offer. He may not challenge Patrick Melton for the starting spot, but is certainly expected to provided needed depth were Melton ever to go down (again).

He may be short, but Mangum was able to impress coaches and scouts, as well as fellow camp members, during the offseason with his quickness and ball skills. With an A&M receiving corps that lacks top-end talent, Mangum will be expected to contribute early and often. Early projections have him challenging for the Slot Receiver role in next year's offense.

Chris Williams

B+|B-|C
Quite possibly the complete opposite of Landon Mangum, Chris Williams is a tall, lanky target for quarterbacks. However, Williams (there's another one) does not possess the top end speed necessary to be a vertical threat. Aggie coaches are hoping he can bulk up and move to the TE position and provide some badly needed receiving skill from that spot.

Joe Johnson
#17 ATH
:4star:
Deer Park, TX

CIT|PBK|RBK
C|C-|C+
Johnson is possibly the most intriguing athlete to sign with Coach JeffHCross. A tight end's frame, but without, well, even the "fleet" feet of a tight end. Johnson is likely to be tried at an H-Back position, and may find himself at full-time fullback after a redshirt year.

Rian Thomas
#23 SS

Thomas is a perfect example of the slower safety that is perfect in a linebacker spot in A&M's 3-4 defense. He impressed coaches during the summer by being in the right position at the right time, and then destroying the ball carrier. Thomas is expected to redshirt for a year and then move into a backup MLB position. Aggie coaches are hoping he'll provide some depth for a year or two before possibly moving into a starting role as an upperclassman.

Glen Holland (JUCO)

My oh my, how did this one get away? A huge steal for the Aggies, who have some holes to fill on the offensive line. Holland, a JUCO Junior, will instantly move into a starting position, most likely at left tackle. Holland brings an experienced talent to the Aggie offensive line, and shouldn't need a redshirt before taking Kyle Field. Holland originally had no interest in the Aggies, and wanted to go to USC or Texas. The Aggie coaches slowly chipped away, stunned at the lack of interest from other teams. Instant 80+ in 5 of the 7 blocking ratings will be a huge boost for the Aggies.

Alex Williams

Yep, another Williams for Texas A&M. Williams will be moving to Kicker and redshirting a year before taking the job for himself.

Depending on what happens with the rest of the current season and whether or not HB Deon Brown decides to leave early for the NFL, Davis could become a starter as soon as he steps on the field next year. Regardless though, there's a very good chance that he'll be a solid contributor in the Badgers running game.

Quinn is a solid addition to the Wisconsin passing game which relies on receivers to make catches other receivers can't. Given time to develop, he'll fit in perfectly and will be a great replacement for current stud WR Jeff Everson.

While Brunner may not be ready to start right away, the Wisconsin staff feels that he has the potential to develop into a solid playmaker in their 3-3-5 defense as a rush OLB.

Ryan Peterson

While Peterson is the third runningback that the Badgers added in this class, he certainly isn't expected to be lost in the crowd. His top-rated agility will help him to easily find the field over the course of his career, especially in the Wisconsin running game which distributes carries to all of their backs.

Rush was a much needed signing for Wisconsin to allow them to move current Free Safety Kendall Jude to the Strong Safety position to help replace the loss of current defensive leader Brett Chavis. Being from Alaska, he expressed that he chose Wisconsin over Oklahoma because he thrives in the cold weather.

Whaley was another much needed signing for Wisconsin to allow current LB/DE Desmond Edwards to remain at the MLB position. With the loss of DE Matt Wilson, Wisconsin needed to find a replacement if Edwards were to remain as the anchor of the defense.

Charles McKenzie

Losing two senior Tight Ends and only a Freshman returning, Wisconsin desperately needed to find someone who could start right away. While McKenzie still has lots of development that he'll need to do, he does bring in strong hands that will allow him to catch passes over the middle.
