SI All-American today unveiled its Preseason SI99– the 99 high school football senior citizens from throughout the country that it ranks as the frontrunners for its desirable 2020 SI All-American first string.
This Preseason SI99 originates from SIs watch list of 1,000 gamers that was revealed last month– following what is believed to be the best, most thorough analysis and breakdown of tape of any recruiting class ever– and a subsequent ranking of top 10 gamers in each of 14 various position groups.
” Our ranking of the top 99 reflects where the game of football is going,” stated SI All-American recruiting director John Garcia Jr. “Weve fine-tuned position groups. Weve removed the outdoors linebacker position, because those people in todays video game are more edge rushes, and included the nickel position. Weve broken receivers and tight ends into two groups each– slot and large receivers, and traditional (Y) and hybrid (H) tight ends..
” But one part of the video game that hasnt changed is the concentrate on protecting and damaging the quarterback. Our leading five gamers illustrate the point– two are protective ends and one an offensive take on.”.
Among the Preseason SI99 highlights:.
” Our ranking of the leading 99 reflects where the game of football is going,” said SI All-American hiring director John Garcia Jr. “Weve improved position groups. Williams is verbally committed to Oklahoma and Tuimoloau looks to be down to a finalists list of Oregon, Ohio State, USC, Washington, Alabama and Stanford.
S Derrick Davis Jr. Monroeville, Pa.( Gateway)– undecided. QB Miller Moss/ Santa Ana, Calif. (Mater Dei)– USC.
The list consists of a pair of brothers– twins Tommy and James Brockermeyer of Fort Worth, Texas– who are verbally dedicated to Alabama.
24 of the 99 have yet to verbally dedicate to a college (with 8 of the top 20 unsure).
Of the 75 who have actually verbally dedicated, Ohio State has secured the most, with 10. The Buckeyes are followed by Alabama (8 ), Clemson (6 ), Georgia (5 ), and Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Tennessee (4 each).
The states most represented in the SI99 are Florida (16 ), Texas (14 ), California and Georgia (9 each), and North Carolina, and Pennsylvania and Washington (6 each). The DMV (Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia) also has 6.
SI ranks Caleb Williams, a quarterback out of Gonzaga College High (Washington, D.C.) as the No. 1 gamer in the nation. Ranked 2nd– and No. 1 on defense– is defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau of Eastside Catholic High in the Seattle suburb of Sammamish, Wash. Williams is verbally dedicated to Oklahoma and Tuimoloau looks to be down to a finalists list of Oregon, Ohio State, USC, Washington, Alabama and Stanford.
The assessment procedure will continue “until the list of 1,000 contenders coalesces around just 25 young men who can say proudly they are the finest of the finest– they are Sports Illustrated All-Americans,” says Garcia.
The candidates will be narrowed to 250 finalists and after that a Postseason SI99 from which the 25-member first-team SI All-Americans will be selected.
The Preseason SI99 (with each name hotlinked to the gamers bio, SI analysis and video highlights) is as follows, with college spoken commitment noted:.
