For the class of 2020, the combines are over. So are the all-star 7on7 events and the college camp circuit. All that’s left is what you can do in pads. And ultimately that’s all that matters, anyway. But in a process that demands hundreds of thousands of high school football players are distilled down – in our case – to the 247 best, context is critical.

Over the course of the last six months, the 247Sports network has been gathering context by the boatload. College feedback, camp performances, combine testing results, accurate heights and weights, first-time in-person evaluations and a revisit to junior film with all of that additional context added has shuffled the board significantly.

With the latest update to the Top247 for the class of 2020 (click here for the rankings), let's run down the many notable moves.

THE NEW 5-STARS

Myles Murphy, SDE, Powder Springs (Ga.) Hillgrove – At 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, the Clemson commit runs a 40 in 4.65 seconds, has a 4.28 shuttle, has a 34 inch vertical and had 18 tackles for loss as a junior and 10 sacks. All combined, Murphy is one of the handful of prospects in this class that actually has No. 1 overall upside. A review of his film in comparison with the players that were previously ranked above him necessitated the move up to No. 5.

Bryce Young, QB, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei – The production checks out: A completion percentage of 70, nearly 4,000 yards passing, a state championship in one of the most competitive leagues in the country. But Young, despite his limited size at 5-foot-11, actually checks the box for the physical traits, too. He’s sturdy with big hands and a huge arm and in today’s game, he checks all the boxes. The USC commit moves up to No. 10.

Drew Sanders, ATH, Denton (Texas) Ryan – Sanders wasn’t healthy enough to compete at The Opening Finals but we had already seen everything we needed to. He has the ability to play either side of the ball, has elite size and speed traits, running a 4.65 at 6-5, 232 pounds, and he is incredibly competitive with outstanding football instincts. The Alabama commit is one of the most universally respected prospects in this class among college coaching staffs. Sanders lands at No. 13.

Trenton Simpson, OLB, Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek – A thick, big-bodied linebacker who also happens to be one of the most athletic in this class, Simpson has a running back background, great movement skills and fantastic tape. Seeing him in person just verified what we already liked on film and the Auburn commit could play on the inside or as an edge rusher on the next level. He’s now ranked No. 14.

Arik Gilbert, TE, Marietta (Ga.) High School – While he could be a five-star candidate as an edge rusher, he’s a five-star addition as a tight end. Gilbert was awesome at The Opening Finals, showing top end route-running and soft hands that look to be getting better by the week. Gilbert had over 1,200 yards receiving last fall and runs a 4.7 40 at 253 pounds. He’s now ranked No. 16 nationally.

Noah Sewell, ILB, Orem (Utah) High School – With the final five-star spot in the newest update, Sewell checks in at No. 18 due in part to a camp performance that would have been eye-popping for a 200-pound linebacker. Sewell is 266 pounds and at The Opening Finals he was one of the top linebackers in space, one of the quickest in terms of recognition and one of the most explosive accelerating to the football. Turn on the tape and he’s even better.

QUARTERBACK TALK

Our national evaluators have determined a very clear pecking order in our mind as to the top tier of passers in this class. It’s the two five-stars: DJ Uiagalelei and Young followed by Haynes King. King, a recent Texas A&M commit, moves up the rankings to the No. 19 spot, first position outside of the five-star pool.

If you want to nitpick on King, he doesn’t always spin it consistently and he’s perhaps not as polished as some other passers in this class. We don’t want to nitpick though. We absolutely love his game. He’s the most athletic quarterback in the class, his production is fantastic, we’re seeing physical maturation over the course of this offseason alone and he can make throws that only a handful of quarterbacks this cycle can think about. King came very close to earning his fifth star is very much on track to get there with another season of development this fall.

Beyond those top three quarterbacks, we still like the options this class presents. Texas commit Ja'Quinden Jackson (56) is ranked as an athlete but fits Tom Herman’s prototype and remained roughly status quo in this rankings update with some moves above him displacing him slightly. Texas’ other quarterback commit is closing the gap. Hudson Card (70) has continued to impress us with his accuracy and consistency as well as his athleticism. South Carolina commit Luke Doty (67) is the only other quarterback inside the Top100 due to his athleticism, arm talent and quick release that was on display at the Elite 11 Finals.

Any number of other quarterbacks could continue to work their way into those top two tiers. Georgia commit Carson Beck and Oregon commit Jay Butterfield are next up outside the Top100 but a new addition that has caught our eye is Cincinnati commit Evan Prater. Ranked No. 156 in the new update, Prater is a talented multi-sport athlete that completed 63 percent of his passes last fall with 20 touchdowns to two interceptions and rushed for over 1,100 yards on an undefeated state championship team. CJ Stroud, the darling of the Elite 11, also is a name on the rise. Both have shown Top100 upside.

THE DEBATE AT WIDE RECEIVER

The wide receiver debate took some time to sort through in this most recent update. The No. 1 spot was never in doubt with a firm consensus that Ohio State commit Julian Fleming looks like the top dog in the class at this point. No. 2 was never really threatened either as Texas A&M commit Demond Demas flashed phenomenal athleticism at The Opening. It was at No. 3 that the discussion started to heat up.

We landed on Jermaine Burton, a newly announced IMG Academy transfer and an LSU commit. Burton, we felt, has the highest upside among the contenders and looks most like what the game is moving towards at the position due to his elite speed, his start and stop ability and his route-running acumen. Burton had to sneak past Ohio State commit Gee Scott Jr. to secure that spot. Scott has been one of the stars of the off-season with ball skills that are among the best in the country and a combine profile that’s similar to what DK Metcalf looked like at the same stage. With breakthrough productivity as a senior, Scott could continue to rise.

Right behind Scott and ranked No. 28 in the country is Arian Smith, a guy that we’re fascinated with from an athletic standpoint. He may be the best pure athlete in this class with a 10.30 100 meter dash time, a 21.01 200 meter time and a personal best long jump of more than 25 feet. After playing quarterback as a junior, he’ll transfer to Lakeland High School as a senior where we expect him to flash the pass-catching skills he’s shown in 7on7 this spring. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, another Ohio State commit, also climbed within the Top100 up to No. 46. You may never see dominance more understated because of how efficient he is athletically but Smith-Njigba has been one of the nation’s most productive receivers the last two years.

THE TIGHT END TAKEOVER

At 247Sports, we typically have no more than two or three tight ends ranked inside the Top100 in any one class. Meanwhile the last time fewer than five tight ends were drafted inside the top 100 in the NFL was 2016. This year is a good year to shake us to our senses on tight end value because there are a bunch of good ones. We’ve moved Arik Gilbert (16) and Darnell Washington (20) from athlete to tight end designations while Jalin Conyers (45) and Theo Johnson (75) have made big rankings jumps into the top 100. They join Notre Dame pledge Michael Mayer (72) to put five tight ends in the Top100. Should that stand, it'd be the most top-100 tight ends in our rankings since 2011.

Conyers continues to be a relative unknown given his small-town background and lack of camp exposure, but his athleticism translates. The more we learn about him, the more we believe in him as a rare talent, particularly as we elevate the entire tight end group. Johnson made a big jump up into the Top100 after testing really well at The Opening Finals and putting together an outstanding pass-catching show. We believe in him as a major mismatch and he lands three spots behind Mayer.

Outside the Top100, Maliq Carr, Ohio State commit Joe Royer and Iowa commit Luke Lachey are part of a growing group of tight ends that we are also really bullish on that could creep towards that Top100 threshold as well.

OFFENSIVE LINE SHAKEUP

Camp season is not the time to overhaul the offensive line rankings but, for one of the most difficult positions to evaluate, the information that the offseason provides is paramount. For us, it’s fitting that the biggest riser in the offensive line rankings wasn’t even a guy that we saw in a camp setting. Northwestern commit Peter Skoronski, now the No. 29 player in the country, made the move because of all of the ways we validated what we initially loved on film. Skoronski has unanimous approval from trusted offensive line evaluators, he has NFL bloodlines with a grandfather in the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, he is a multi-sport athlete that throws the shot put 57 feet, but above all else, his film trumps all.

A similar bump took place for Garrett Hayes. He’s up to the No. 48 player in the country and we haven’t seen him since January but we have seen a lot of other guys that we can’t defend ranking him behind. Hayes’ biggest exploits have come in powerlifting this offseason but he is also one of the best combine testers among offensive linemen in the class and he has nasty, physical film.

We did see Walker Parks and Nathan Anderson at The Opening Finals. Anderson is up to No. 50 in the latest update and Parks is up to No. 74. Parks’ performance at The Opening speaks for itself in explanation of his rise but we’ve also been very impressed with the way he’s matured physically and shown the ability to protect the edge against elite athletes. His rise may not be done. Anderson would be a surprise riser to anyone that saw him struggle at The Opening Finals but context matters. Anderson just finished his first year playing offensive line, has some of the best testing numbers we’ve seen on the offensive line and has film that looks a lot like what first rounder Chris Lindstrom produced in high school. He may not have the length to play offensive tackle but Anderson could will be an elite player at one of the five offensive line spots.
