With it being early in the recruiting process for these soon-to-be high school seniors, 16 of the 30 on Stumpf’s list are undecided. Of those 16, five are predicted to commit to a Southeastern Conference school, according to 247 Sports’ Crystal Ball Predictions.
Another five are already committed to play for SEC schools. Those five are linebacker Willie Gay (No. 18 on the list – Ole Miss), wide receiver Tyrell Shavers (No. 22 – Alabama), defensive back Maleik Gray (No. 23 – Tennessee), wide receiver Trey Blount (No. 26 – Georgia) and wide receiver Jhamon Ausbon (No. 29 – LSU).
The No. 6 player on Stumpf’s list, running back Chase Hayden, has a 64 percent chance of landing with Arkansas according to 247 Sports. The No. 13 player, and the most notable according to every recruiting site, is linebacker Dylan Moses.
Moses is the No. 2 overall player in the class of 2017 and while he is currently undecided, the 6-foot-2 outside linebacker has a 72 percent chance to commit to LSU and a 24 percent chance to choose Alabama.
The No. 1 player on Stumpf’s list, running back J.K. Dobbins, is an Ohio State commit. The lone quarterback, down at No. 30, is Hunter Johnson, who is committed to Clemson.
The Opening Finals are being held from July 5-10 at the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.
