Preseason Top 30 In-State Recruits

Overview


Victor Harris

Depth. If there is one word to describe the 2005 class, depth is it. This class not only boasts a strong top 10, but a really solid top 30. I rate 17 players as 3-star prospects in the Pre-Season Top 30 along with four 4-stars and one 5-star. Several prospects who are assigned 2 stars have the ability to raise their ranking with a good 2004 season. So far, 25 in-state prospects have committed to Division I-A programs. This number easily will grow above 30 once all of the prospects have made decisions.

Slots 1-5 have not changed from the Pre-Summer ratings. Highland Springs High School’s all-everything tailback/cornerback Victor “Macho” Harris remains in the top spot. Extremely versatile, Harris could excel as a cornerback or tailback on the next level. After receiving close to 50 Division I-A scholarship offers, he has narrowed his list to 6 schools – Maryland, Miami (Fl), Michigan, Southern California, Virginia, Virginia Tech.

Phoebus’ bruising tailback, Elan Lewis , is #2, Gretna quarterback Vic Hall is #3, Landstown’s hard-hitting linebacker, Deveon Simmons , is #4 and Centreville offensive tackle Pat Sheil rounds out the top 5 at #5. Hall has committed to Virginia while Simmons committed to Virginia Tech. Sheil recently verballed to Boston College over Virginia and Virginia Tech.
