It's been a long, hot summer. Spring practices, combines, 7on7s and the satellite camp circus have kept 247Sports analysts and reporters busy and on the road. With that stretch culminating in The Opening Finals recently in Oregon, and with high schools around the country already throwing the helmets on this week, it's time for an overhaul of the Top247 for the class of 2017.

We released four new five-stars and a new No. 1 player in the country last week when 6-foot-7 offensive tackle Foster Sarell took over the new top spot. As we reviewed the rest of the Top247 over the following week, we realized we weren't done with the five-stars yet.

Davis Mills is the new No. 1 quarterback in the class of 2017 and with that move, he's been given a fifth star as well. He's everything you want out of a quarterback prospect with size, arm talent, smarts and athleticism. He's a Stanford commit and looks like the next great one in Palo Alto. Mills is now ranked as the No. 22 prospect in the country.

Right above Mills, we've added a fifth star to the profile of Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha defensive end Chase Young. Now ranked as the No. 21 player in the country, his length and edge presence are rare and he wants to be great. Ohio State, Maryland, Alabama and others are battling for him and we think he's one of the unique defensive linemen in this class.

Oklahoma on the Rise

Everywhere we turned this spring and summer, Oklahoma commits were flashing. It's a movement. It became a running joke at The Opening that if you wanted a shot at the 7on7 title at the end of the weekend, your all-star team better have some Oklahoma commits on it. Sure enough, the last team standing at the end of the weekend was the team littered with Sooner pledges.

Among the big movers, safety Robert Barnes is up all the way to No. 43 in the country. Jaelen Raegor is now the top-ranked wide receiver in Texas and is up to No. 119 nationally. Cornerback Justin Broiles continues his ascent up the rankings and is now ranked No. 125. Fellow cornerback Tre Brown also made a strong move up the rankings and into the national Top150 while hybrid tight end Grant Calcaterra jumps into the Top247 after a dominant offseason as a pass-catcher.

Even quarterback Chris Robison turned heads this offseason. Though he didn't crack the Top247, he impressed me and will be a ranking riser outside of the Top247.

The Year of the Safety

If you're looking for a safety in this class, we've got a guy for you. Elite guys are everywhere at that position and they come in all shapes and sizes. The new top safety in this class is 5-10.5 Georgia commit Richard LeCounte III who is a streak on the field.

Want something a little bigger? How about 6-foot-3.5 LSU commit Grant Delpit out of Texas? Athleticism? Virginia native Devon Hunter put up freaky testing numbers at The Opening Finals and is one of the best pure athletes in this class. Instincts? That's recent USC decommit Bubba Bolden, a 6-2 smooth operator that always seems to know where the ball is going before it's there. Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Oakland safety Jacoby Stevens has a little bit of all of the above. All of those guys, along with Barnes, the Oklahoma commit, are ranked inside the Top 55 players nationally.

The Quarterback Race

While Davis Mills has taken over as the No. 1 quarterback in the class, the previous No. 1 is still within striking distance. Clemson commit Hunter Johnson remains within the top 40 nationally with a 96 rating and a chance to climb back on top with a big senior year.

If Johnson does reclaim the top spot, he'll have to jump two guys instead of one. Alabama commit Tua Tagovailoa is the new No. 2 quarterback in the country after a brilliant spring and summer. He blew us away at every event he attended. From the Pylon 7on7 National Championships, to The Opening Oakland, to the Elite 11 Finals to The Opening Finals, Tagovailoa was just awesome at every stop. He's now ranked No. 34 nationally.

Georgia commit Jake Fromm and Michigan commit Dylan McCaffrey round out the top five at the quarterback position while several quarterback commits took some tumbles.

Texas commit Sam Ehlinger and Ohio State commit Tate Martell maintain lofty rankings inside the Top247 but have tumbled some to 196 and 103 respectively. Other quarterback commits didn't have the same good fortune. Florida State commit Bailey Hockman, Oregon commit Ryan Kelley, Nebraska commit Tristan Gebbia and Ohio State commit Danny Clark have all fallen outside of the Top247 with the latest update.

In their place, there are a few new additions to the Top247. The highest debut is uncommitted quarterback Jack Sears out of San Clemente (Calif.) High School. Sears is considering Duke, USC, UCLA and Utah. He debuts at No. 161. Behind him, LSU commit Myles Brennan grinded his way onto the list with a debut ranking of No. 180. And finally, Syracuse commit Tommy DeVito has also worked his way into the rankings at No. 241 after an outstanding display of arm talent this spring and summer.

Need a Tight End?

Just like the rise in talented safeties for the class of 2017, we're seeing an unusually talented tight end class this cycle. That fact became clear this offseason with some dominating performances.

Stanford commit Colby Parkinson is the clear No. 1 in this class. At 6-foot-7 and 225 pounds, you just can't create a better tight end frame and he has the skillset to match. California native Josh Falo checks in at the No. 2 tight end spot with Michigan, Oregon, Alabama, USC and others giving chase.

Behind Falo, the tight end tradition at Notre Dame should continue with Cole Kmet. He can do it all. Wisconsin pledge Jake Ferguson – the grandson of Barry Alvarez – can't yet do it all. He's only 210 pounds and he's not ready to be a big time factor in the run game but he sure can catch and was one of the toughest matchups for any defender at The Opening. Ferguson is ranked No. 110 nationally.

Virginia Tech is putting together a great tight end class and Drake Deiuliis is a big reason why. At 6-foot-6, 215 pounds the kid can run and catch and has a ton of versatility. That landed him at No. 169 in the new update.

The New Names

Cesar Ruiz, center (No. 63) – The new No. 1 center in the country, Ruiz was dominant at The Opening. Michigan and Alabama look to be the favorites.

Oliver Martin, wide receiver (No. 67) – One of the true Cinderella stories of the offseason, Martin went from MAC-bound to one of the hottest wide receivers in the Midwest after some strong camp showings and now Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa and Wisconsin are fighting over him.

Jaylon Johnson, cornerback (No. 80) – One of the biggest and most athletic cornerbacks in America, at 6-1, Johnson is a legit 4.4 guy in the 40. USC is the current Crystal Ball favorite.

Benjamin St-Juste, cornerback (No. 92) – A Canadian discovery by Michigan on its satellite camp tour, St-Juste is the most physically imposing corner in this class and he's athletic to boot.

Isaiah Pola-Mao, safety (No. 93) – At 6-foot-4, Pola-Mao shouldn't be able to cover the ground he covers but that didn't stop him from being one of the leaders of The Opening event in interceptions. Washington currently has the Crystal Ball lead.

Kane Taylor, defensive tackle (No. 96) – At 6-foot-2.5, 280 pounds, Taylor runs a 4.8 40 and plays all over the field for his high school. We think he'll ultimately be a defensive tackle and a really good one.

C.J. Henderson, cornerback (No. 106) – A Miami commit with south Florida speed but plenty of length to go with it. He's one of the fastest big corners in the country.

Kary Vincent, cornerback (No. 168) – An LSU lean with outstanding speed and big-play ability, Vincent would be even higher if he had a little more height on him.

Chase Hayden, running back (No. 183) – An all-purpose running back that could project a number of different spots, Hayden really proved himself this offseason in a number of settings. Arkansas is trending for the athletic back.

Tariq Castro-Fields, cornerback (No. 211) – Yet another long, athletic cornerback, Castro-Fields is quickly catching some traction as one of the top defensive backs on the atlantic coast.

Jacob Phillips, linebacker (No. 217) – Nobody has improved more over the last 12 months than Phillips and he already had the frame. Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Ole Miss are among the favorites.

Thayer Munford, offensive tackle (No. 223) – A big-bodied mauler, Munford is a Crystal Ball favorite to land at Pitt.

Paulson Adebo, cornerback (No. 225) – A Notre Dame commit projected to the defensive side of the ball, Adebo has the size, ball skills and athleticism to compete early in South Bend.

Omar Manning, wide receiver (No. 233) – He could go even higher with strong senior film. Manning has some of the best physical upside at the receiver position in this class.

Elijah Conliffe, defensive end (No. 240) – Some of the top defensive line evaluators in the country have Conliffe in their crosshairs with Miami, Michigan State, Penn State, Oklahoma and Ole Miss giving chase.

Dalton Wagner, offensive tackle (No. 242) – He's in the Dan Skipper mold of a massive offensive tackle who can move. Coincidentally Arkansas is a favorite along with Indiana.
