Carries 233 pounds like 220. Athletic and plays with attitude. Explosive first step with speed to get around edge. Bends at the knees and has shoulder dip to get around the corner. Length makes it difficult for offensive tackles to engage. Extremely coachable. Can hold the point of attack. Must develop move set and work on technique. Relies on speed and athleticism too much. Has to utilize combinations when rushing passer. Multi-year starter at Top 20 program. Should develop into a third-round NFL draft pick. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Brian Dohn NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2) Player comparison: Yannick Ngakoue | DE | Jacksonville Jaguars

Committed to: Northwestern 247Sports Composite: 4-star | 0.9241 | No. 200 Overall | No. 10 OG Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-4, 275-pound guard out of Maine South High School in Park Ridge, Ill., Skoronski committed to the Wildcats over offers from Notre Dame, Iowa, Michigan, Penn State and Stanford, among others.

San Antonio College. He holds 30 reported offers overall. His primary recruiter at Clemson was quarterbacks coach Brandon Streeter, while co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Jeff Scott also assisted in his recruitment.

In 14 games as a junior, he completed 179 of 257 passes (69.6 pct.) for 3,366 yards with 48 touchdowns and seven interceptions while rushing for 312 yards and six scores on 50 carries. 247Sports Evaluation: Big, strong armed quarterback with generational arm strength. Has a big frame but looks lean and is well put together. Has one of the strongest arms in recent memory and has won ‘long ball’ contests with a throw of 80+ yards. Is much more than a big arm. Shows great touch, accuracy to all three levels of the field and greet natural feel for throwing the football. Understands when to take a little off, throws with anticipation and is a plus athlete as well. Has the ability to run zone read and is a very good runner in the open field. Can buy time and is accurate throwing down the field rolling out to his right or his left. Natural leader and a great teammate who is also a potential high round draft pick in Major League Baseball. Can still improve going through progressions and finding secondary receivers as well as escaping pressure. Upside is off the charts. Projects as a impact upper tier Power 5 starter and future early NFL draft pick. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Greg Biggins NFL Draft projection: First Round Player comparison: Ben Roethlisberger | QB | Pittsburgh Steelers

Committed to: Florida State 247Sports Composite: 4-star | 0.9315 | No. 173 Overall | No. 32 WR Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-4, 180-pound wide receiver out of Riverview High School in Sarasota, Fla., Wideman committed to the Seminoles over offers from Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky, among others.

He is also a Top100 basketball prospect and is expected to pursue both sports at Florida State. 247Sports Evaluation: A blue-chip football and basketball recruit with length and muscular build. Known for freakish athleticism that allows for above the rim game on the hardwood and ideal red-zone and deep threat ability as wide receiver on gridiron. Effortless leaper with true ball skills and body control. Long strider with wide catch radius and plus ability after the catch. Can make plays in traffic with good quickness. Plays with good feel and awareness in the red zone. Raw route-runner at this stage. Could easily carry more weight if football becomes primary focus at collegiate level with athleticism to make early impact despite polish. A pro career in either sport seems possible depending on priorities following high school. – 247Sports Recruiting Analyst John Garcia Jr. NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round (Day 2) Player comparison: Jonathan Baldwin | WR | San Francisco 49ers

Committed to: TCU 247Sports Composite: 3-star | 0.8700 | No. 535 Overall | No. 96 WR Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-3, 185-pound wide receiver out of Henderson High School in Henderson, Texas, Medford committed to the Horned Frogs over offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Indiana, Missouri, Purdue, Texas Tech and Virginia, among others.

He holds 13 reported offers overall. He is the second commitment for Colorado in the 2020 recruiting cycle. As a junior, he tallied 53 tackles, four interceptions, four pass breakups and a forced fumble. At the Opening Regional in New Orleans, he posted a 4.77 40-yard dash, a 4.33 20-yard shuttle, a 30.6-inch vertical and a 40-foot Power Ball throw, giving him a SPARQ rating of 96.12.

Committed to: Notre Dame 247Sports Composite: 4-star | 0.9422 | No. 122 Overall | No. 8 SDE Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-5, 275-pound defensive end out of Lake Forest High School in Lake Forest, Ill., Mills committed to the Fighting Irish over offers from Ohio State and Wisconsin, among others.

He is the ninth commitment for the Fighting Irish in the 2020 recruiting cycle. In seven games as a junior, he tallied 30 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, three sacks and one forced fumble. 247Sports Evaluation: Has always had a big frame but has worked in the weight room to fill out a bit. Will begin college ready to compete at a high-level. Thick across the upper body but also has length. Plays with great motor. Strong and has heavy hands. Gets off the ball well and makes a lot of plays in the backfield. Has some twitch and closes and runs plays down well for a bigger lineman. Taller prospect who will need to continue to work on bend and ability to play low as well as technique. Right now he wins a lot with get-off and strength, but more technicality will play into his physical gifts. Classic five-tech but may able to play some tackle as well. His high school did play him over the nose in some situations. Power 5 starter with early round NFL draft potential. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Allen Trieu NFL Draft projection: 4-7 Round (Day 3) Player comparison: Henry Anderson | DE | New York Jets

Committed to: Oklahoma 247Sports Composite: 4-star | 0.9377 | No. 139 Overall | No. 15 OT Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-4.5, 262-pound offensive tackle out of Reedy High School in Frisco, Texas, Anderson committed to the Sooners just two days after landing a scholarship offer during an unofficial visit. He holds 21 reported offers overall, including Arkansas, Baylor, Florida State, Missouri, Oklahoma State, TCU and USC. His primary recruiter at Oklahoma was co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh. He is the seventh commitment for the Sooners in the 2020 recruiting cycle. At the Opening Regional in Dallas, he posted a 5.01 40-yard dash, a 4.20 20-yard shuttle, a 25.5-inch vertical and a 36.5-foot Power Ball throw, giving him a SPARQ rating of 91.77. 247Sports Evaluation: Possesses adequate height and length with little to no bad weight on his frame. Isn't very broad through his upper body, but should be able to max out over 300 pounds after time in a FBS level strength and nutrition program. A former defensive end, Anderson is one of the most athletic offensive linemen not just in the 2020 cycle, but in several years. Has exceptional short area quickness, which shows up both on the field and in combine settings. That quickness allows him to be an elite blocker at the second level. Playing right tackle for his high school, Anderson flies off the snap and consistently shows the ability to reach, radar, cover up and finish linebackers, making for big holes in run game. Anderson is even quick enough to reach cornerbacks on screen plays, something you rarely if ever see from a high school offensive lineman. Despite his high level movement skills, Anderson is far from a finesse player, as he routinely finishes blocks with violence and authority. He also shows high level awareness and peripheral vision as a pass blocker. With 2018 being his first season at offensive tackle, Anderson still is developing his pass set technique and will need to continue to progress on that front along with improving his hand placement. He's athletic enough to play tackle in college but likely projects on the inside at the NFL level. The Dallas area prospect offers unique positional versatility with the feet and physicality to play multiple spots on an offensive front. Anderson may need a redshirt year like most offensive linemen, but he possesses one of the higher upsides among offensive linemen in the 2020 cycle and projects as a mutli-year starter with all-conference, All-American and first round potential. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Charles Power NFL Draft projection: First Round Player comparison: Chris Lindstrom | OG | Atlanta Falcons

Committed to: TCU 247Sports Composite: 4-star | 0.9131 | No. 249 Overall | No. 12 WDE Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-4, 225-pound defensive end out of Newton High School in Newton, Texas, Sylvester committed to the Horned Frogs over offers from Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma and Oregon, among others. He holds 17 reported offers overall. His primary recruiter at TCU was cornerbacks coach Jeremy Modkins. He is the seventh commitment for the Horned Frogs in the 2020 recruiting cycle. In 13 games as a junior, he racked up 100 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, eight sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

Committed to: Kentucky 247Sports Composite: 3-star | 0.8791 | No. 450 Overall | No. 21 PRO Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-2, 203-pound quarterback out of Lexington Catholic High School in Lexington, Ky., Allen committed to the Wildcats over offers from Washington State, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan and West Virginia, among others. He holds 10 reported offers overall. His primary recruiter at Kentucky was co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Darin Hinshaw, while co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach Eddie Gran also assisted in his recruitment.

In 12 games as a junior, he completed 240 of 361 passes (66.5 pct.) for 3,729 yards and 42 touchdowns while rushing for 747 yards and eight scores. At the Opening Regional in New Orleans, he posted a 4.80 40-yard dash, a 4.58 20-yard shuttle, a 29.1-inch vertical and a 32.5-foot Power Ball throw, giving him a SPARQ rating of 72.19. 247Sports Evaluation: Average height for the position. Still lean and will need to add bulk and strength for the next level, but has started that process and added good weight during his junior year. Highly productive passer who played in an open passing offense in high school that asked him to see the entire field. Throws with excellent touch and placement. Allows receivers to run underneath deep balls and throws to spots well. Stands in against pressure and makes throws while getting hit. Can throw the ball into tighter windows as well. Is not an elite meausreables guy in terms of size, foot speed or velocity. Can still get stronger and faster. Will make some plays with his feet and has run some zone read, but does no categorize as a dual-threat. Smarts, accuracy and touch all rate as that of a Power 5 starter. NFL projection will likely come down to size and overall improvement in all areas. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Allen Trieu Projection: Power 5 Starter Player comparison: Colt McCoy | QB | Washington Redskins
