With the high school season upon us and the college football season not far behind,247Sports has overhauled our Top247 for the class of 2020. The new ranking release reflects a reset on the class of 2020 following a full cycle of camps, combines, 7on7s and offseason workouts where we’ve better familiarized ourselves with the new junior class.

Junior years are the most important in the recruiting timeline, so this list will continue to evolve and change steadily with the commencement of the season. But this is a good starting point for what should be a busy fall in the 2020 class.

FIVE-STAR MOVES

Defensive end Bryan Bresee remains our No. 1 prospect in the class of 2020 after checking out in impressive fashion over the summer as an underclassman at The Opening Finals. (Bresee went 6-4-2 in the OL/DL challenge reps we tracked there). With the continued physical maturation of Sa’vell Smalls as an edge rusher and outside linebacker, he has jumped wide receiver Julian Fleming to take over the No. 2 spot nationally.

The only addition to the five-star family though comes from outside linebacker Mekhail Sherman, out of Washington (D.C.) St. John’s. As a guy that was dominant last year as a sophomore in pads, Sherman also happens to be one of the most impressive guys we’ve seen in person this offseason regardless of class. At The Opening Finals, Sherman’s testing numbers spoke to his upside with a 4.53 40 at 6-foot-3, 231 pounds and a 33-inch vertical. His season kicks off on Saturday at Johns Creek in Georgia and Ohio State currently holds the lone Crystal Ball predictions.

THE QUARTERBACKS

Since its initial release, St. John Bosco’s DJ Uiagalelei and Mater Dei’s Bryce Young have endured out of California has the top two quarterbacks in this cycle but with our latest update, they get some company from Texas. Malik Hornsby is now ranked as the No. 2 quarterback in the class out of Missouri City (Texas) Fort Bend Marshall.

Hornsby is now the No. 12 player in the country, up from No. 174. At 6-foot-2, with a 10.78 100 meter time to his credit, Hornsby has a ceiling that not many can touch. Be wary of thinking he's just an athlete, though. We feel like he has the upside to finish as the top quarterback in this class. Currently Texas and Texas A&M are battling for him, among others.

Another Texas quarterback joined Hornsby on the move. Longhorn commit Hudson Card showed us enough this offseason to push him up towards the cusp of the Top100. He showed elite competitiveness and athleticism last fall at wide receiver for Lake Travis High School and when Ohio State commit Matthew Baldwin went down with injury, Card was outstanding in relief. We expect more of that effort from Card in his first full season as a starter and gave him a preemptive boost based on seeing him throw this offseason.

An intriguing new addition to the list comes by way of New Hampshire in Parker McQuarrie. He’s 6-foot-7, 208 pounds with a big arm that plays poor competition but he sure is compelling on tape. We saw enough from him this offseason to get him in the Top247 while Boston College, Michigan, Rutgers and Pitt have seen enough to offer him.

THE RISERS

OG Luke Wypler, Montvale (N.J.) St. Joseph – The Ohio State commit is what we want out of offensive line prospects, as an ultra-athletic, multi-sport athlete with physical upside to grow into his body. We’ve ranked him as a center and he’s now No. 1 at his position and No. 17 overall.

WDE Reggie Grimes, Mt. Juliet (Tenn.) – The new No. 1 player in the state of Tennessee is all upside. He’s got length, elite athleticism with freakish testing numbers and a versatile multi-position background in addition to pedigree with a former NFL father. He’s now ranked No. 22 in the country. An Alabama legacy, the tide holds two Crystal Ball picks.

TE Darnell Washington, Las Vegas (Nev.) Desert Pines – Don’t be surprised if Washington is up contending with Arik Gilbert as one of the top jumbo athletes in the country by season’s end. The Las Vegas native is massive at 6-7+ but has rare athleticism. He’s now ranked No. 47 in the country.

WR Jermaine Burton, Calabasas (Calif.) – At his new school, Burton is already turning heads. He is one of the fastest wide receivers in the country and showed out all spring and summer. He’s worked himself into the Top100 at No. 57.

RB Jalen Berger, Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco Prep – We’re cheating here because Berger has already caught our attention with his play this fall. The versatile, big back at 6-0, 190-pounds has moved up to No. 65 nationally. Ohio State holds three Cyrstal Ball picks.

WR John Humphreys, Newport Beach (Calif.) Corona Del Mar – Though he can play all over the field, most of his offers have arrived as a wide receiver where he brings a 6-5 frame and had 1100 yards receiving as a sophomore. Humphreys’ is up to No. 73. Stanford is the current Crystal Ball favorite.

WDE Chantz Williams, Orange Park (Fla.) Oakleaf – A slender, but athletic defensive end that is starting to take the next step physically, Williams is an elite upside edge rusher who has moved inot the No. 80 spot nationally. Miami holds two Crystal Ball picks.

NOTABLE NEWCOMERS

SDE Gervon Dexter, Lake Wales (Fla.) – The highest debut on the list comes from Dexter, a massive, physical specimen that is still new to football but wowed in the spring and summer and looks like a freakish enough body to emerge as a national recruit. Though he’s still a project, he’s ranked No. 81 nationally.

WR/ATH Jakhi Douglas, Houma (La.) Terrebonne – A high school quarterback, Douglas is undersized but he’s blistering fast and he was dominant throughout the offseason playing wide receiver, his likely position in college. He’s now ranked No. 85 nationally.

CB Demorie Tate, Orlando (Fla.) Freedom – A long cornerback with the athleticism to play running back in high school, the Florida State commit looks like he has all the tools you want with size, physicality and cover athleticism. He’s inside the Top100 at No. 88 nationally.

WR Keandre Lambert, Norfolk (Va.) Maury – A 4.56 40 yard dash in the spring validated the speed Lambert showed on tape as a sophomore en route to over 1,000 yards receiving. Texas A&M and Virginia Tech are battling for him.

SDE Tyler Baron, Nashville (Tenn.) Ensworth – The younger brother of former Virginia Tech standout Woody Baron, Tyler has the physical upside to project a number of different ways and we expect a breakout season from the 6-4.5, 250-pounder if he stays healthy.

OT Nash Hutmacher, Chamberlain (S.D.) – A high level wrestler with impressive athletic and strength traits, Hutmacher joins the Top247 at No. 123 due to really impressive physical upside. Iowa State, Nebraska and Wisconsin are among his offers.

CB Myles Slusher, Broken Arrow (Okla.) – A playmaking cornerback that flashes with physicality and ball skills. He had four interceptions as a sophomore and we’ve debuted him at No. 124 nationally. Oklahoma, LSU and Nebraska have all offered already.
