Class of 2010: The Jim Stefani 600 – Linebackers

Posted by roadster997 on August 19, 2008

Here is an early look at my top linebackers in the Class of 2010.  Please note that this is an early list of the top prospects in the Class of 2010.  My rankings/ratings change on a daily basis as more information on prospects is collected.

These lists are a “snapshot” of where I currently rank the prospects.  My job is to identify and evaluate prospects for colleges and universities before anybody else.  My top 600 has been put together after many months of evaluating over 15,000 Class of 2010 prospects.

Attempting to rank the top 600 juniors in the nation is, of course, not an exact science.  Even NFL scouts make mistakes when evaluating prospects for the NFL Draft who are six or seven years older, physically developed and playing against superior competition.  The purpose of my ratings is to provide colleges with a sense of order to the chaos of the early stages of identifying prospective college football players, no more, no less.

It would be presumptuous to take these ratings as the final say on the prospects.  Some prospects have yet to emerge, others are still progressing while some may no longer improve.  When all is said and done, however, I can assure you that nobody has spent as much time and effort in identifying the top underclassmen in the nation as yours truly.

Now its time to move on to the top linebackers.

    How did you miss Will Powers(Jupiter Christian) easily one of the top linebackers in south florida?

  2. roadster997 said

    Will is a good player. He is a prep linebacker, however I project him as a safety.

  3. Bmorefan234 said

    How can you not have Joshua Alaeze up there, he is one of the top Linebackers in the atlantic east region, with several amounts of offers already.

  4. Suzanne Munoz said

    Micheal Munoz – Irving Tigers. Leads in tackles Region 1, 7-5a.

  5. Errol said

    Ferlando Bohanna is a very explosive Linebacker and is following the footsteps of two other linebackers that stared and were ranked nationally at Whitehaven High School, Tenarious Wright 2007 and Derrick Webb 2008. This young man is a real stud, he is fast and has a nose for the football.

  6. Les said

    How did you forget about Jamael Grren(Centerville HS) he is a great recruit a little undersized but makes up for it in athleticism

  7. jordan said

    What about Tommy Heffernan..led Columbus ( team rank #1 in state during season ) in defense?

    • roadster997 said

      Heffernan is a solid prospect. I don’t have him in my national top 600 but he has potential. I don’t have his junior stats/film yet to review.
