South Carolina's new defensive back commit is an imposing figure in the secondary. Nasirildeen has the size, speed, and length to effectively cover a tremendous amount of space. There is a lot of room for him to add muscle to his frame once he gets into South Carolina's strength and conditioning program. -– Rivals.com Mid-Atlantic analyst Adam Friedman

Hayes validated his breakout performance at the Kansas City Rivals Camp by ranking as one of the top offensive line performers at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge in Atlanta. Going against the likes of No. 1 defensive tackle Marvin Wilson, Hayes showed that he could compete with the best in the country. He committed to Oklahoma in mid-July. –- Rivals.com Midwest analyst Josh Helmholdt

Blades has proven this summer that he’s one of the best cornerbacks in the West, if not the country, because he has tremendous length and athleticism so he can cover all kinds of receivers. The Florida commit has prototypical NFL cornerback size, he can run with speedy receivers and compete with taller WRs for jump balls. Blades is pledged to the Gators but plans a full round of official visits -– Rivals.com National analyst Adam Gorney

Williams has steadily risen in the rankings because of his great motor, deceptive strength, and his ability to beat offensive linemen to the inside and outside. At Clemson, Williams will bulk up and become a more consistent player overall. At the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge, we saw just how much natural ability he has. -- Friedman

Lamb is one of those receivers that can just choose to turn it on and be dominant whenever he wants. He's a master at winning jump-balls and despite a long, lean build, is more or a speedstar than a strider when he's on the move. Lamb recently re-committed to Oklahoma. -– Rivals.com Texas analyst Nick Krueger

Benton added significant size this offseason and is looking more and more like a college-ready athlete. He moves well laterally but he's best against run. Benton is committed to Alabama. -– Rivals.com Southeast analyst Rob Cassidy

Bolden has made a huge jump in the rankings after an outstanding summer and a great showing at The Opening. The Gorman standout is a playmaker in the back end, he’s intelligent and can read where the play is going really early. Then Bolden is aggressive and does not hesitate to go and make the play. The former USC commit plans to visit Arizona State, Colorado, Florida, UCLA and USC. -- Gorney

Ahmed is a terrific prospect, especially at defensive back, where he’s athletic, a big-time playmaker and super smart to come up and make plays on the ball. The four-star also showed off tremendous speed and change of direction at The Opening this summer so he deserved a nice bump in the rankings. Washington, Notre Dame, Stanford and others are in the mix. -- Gorney

New rank: 160

Previous rank: 222

Difference: +62

Harley is undersized, but is also nearly uncoverable in the flat. His speed and quickness make him the kind of speed-forward, versatile player maker that thrives in WVU's offense. Harley can be used in a number of different ways and is extremely dangerous in space. He shined against top-level defensive backs this offseason. Harley is committed to West Virginia but will take other official visits. -- Cassidy

New rank: 168

Hayden continues to impress and add weight to his frame without losing the explosiveness that makes him such a special talent. The Arkansas commit wowed while competing at The Opening in Oregon and opened his season with a massive performance as well, showing his best days are still ahead. -– Rivals.com Southeast analyst Woody Wommack

Not only does Byers have size, but he's learned to use it. He is a versatile lineman that plays inside but has some impressive pass rush moves as well. Byers uses his long arms to put offensive linemen on their heels and retains the quickness to shoot gaps. Byers is committed to Alabama. -- Cassidy

The Louisiana native was a star on the camp circuit this summer, wowing college coaches throughout the Southeast. He's a playmaking safety who can cover and isn't afraid to hit. Alabama and LSU are battling to land Stewart. -- Wommack

Sears is one of the most reliable quarterbacks in the West who can make all the throws, has proven to be a great decision-maker and he can also throw on the run with the best of them. The Duke commit never seems to make a mistake when deciding where to throw the ball and he’s mature enough to take the check-down throw and not wildly throw it into coverage. Sears is smart, savvy and knows how to run an offense. -- Gorney

New rank: 206

Garbers had an excellent showing at the Steve Clarkson QB Camp this summer, where he separated himself from some of the nation’s best and proved he belongs with that company. He has a live arm, never seems to wear down and the Cal commit has more zip on his passes than previously thought. Garbers has great size, he makes all the throws with ease and deserved a nice bump up in the rankings. -- Gorney

New rank: 209

Allen has worked out both at linebacker and defensive back and probably has the potential to play either depending on which school he picks. He has improved his speed and coverage abilities in recent months and was very impressive while camping this summer at linebacker. LSU and Alabama appear to have the lead in the edge for his services. -- Wommack

New rank: 211

Conliffe has been a virtual ghost this offseason, but we did get a glimpse of how much he has progressed. He is absolutely massive now with virtually no bad weight and still has great length. If Conliffe is just as agile as he was last season, offenses will have a lot of problems keeping him out of the backfield. Alabama is Conliffe's leader, but USC, Miami, Oklahoma, Penn State, Miami, and Ole Miss are still in the race. -- Friedman

New rank: 225

Falo has a lot of things going for him from a physical standpoint that just makes him one of the more intriguing tight end prospects in this class. He has great size, he’s long and athletic so he covers ground down the field easily. This summer, he proved he can make the tough catches. Too often in the spring, Falo did not take over games like he should, but at The Opening he was great and proved he could be a special player. Oregon, USC, Alabama, Michigan, Nebraska, Miami and others remain involved. -- Gorney

“Paschal is very strong, impressively quick around the edge, and a very smart football player. His technique has gotten better each time we've seen him and he's learned how to combat the massive offensive tackles he will come across. Notre Dame, Maryland, Oklahoma, Michigan State, and Virginia Tech are in the best position to land Paschal's commitment.” - Friedman

For the third time in as many updates, there is a new player atop the state of Oklahoma's class of 2016 rankings. Thomas earns his fourth star and debuts in the Rivals250 after showing this summer that he is taking the steps we wanted to see coming off junior film. To break the trend and stay No. 1 in Oklahoma, he will have to fend off fellow Sooner commits Levi Draper, Tre Brown and Justin Broiles, who are right on his heels. -- Helmholdt

There have never been any athletic questions about Bowden and he continued to up his stock with standout performances this summer at events like Ohio State's Friday Night Lights camp. What position he plays is still a question, but wide receiver and running back are both possibilities. A former Indiana commit, Bowden does not plan to decide until after his senior season and is still considering the Hoosiers along with Michigan State, Kentucky and others. –- Helmholdt

Reed is a hard worker and a very solid interior offensive lineman. He can play tackle in a pinch, but is much more effective when keeping linemen in front of him and using his strong lower half to win leverage battles. Reed is a good and versatile fit for the Texas A&M offense. –- Krueger

“I aggressively moved up Brown after an excellent junior season where he really shut down one side of the field and I still believe he’s a fantastic cornerback, but he was beaten too often at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge. Brown can run with anybody, but physical receivers overpower him sometimes and he’s not long enough to get in there and poke a lot of passes away or rip the ball out. He’s still a top-notch prospect, but just needed to move down in the rankings. North Carolina, Utah, Boise State, Virginia Tech and others are involved with the former ASU commit. - Gorney

The Georgia commit was one of the nation's top overall players in the country and while we still like his skill set, it's clear we overshot a little bit with his initial ranking. Poole is a good cover man and has good technique, but there are some lingering questions about whether he's closer to his ceiling than we originally thought. -- Wommack

New rank: 175

Rogers is fast off the snap and can make himself skinny and tough to block, but he’s easily pushed around to often by bigger offensive linemen. That speed and his relentless pursuit, his ability to track plays down and get in the backfield to cause havoc are what make him special. But Rogers needs to add some power to his game and be able to overpower bigger offensive linemen at the next level. USC, UCLA, Oklahoma, Arizona State and Colorado are in Rogers’ top five. -- Gorney

New rank: 83

Previous rank: 193

Difference: -110

Neilon did not necessarily lose many reps at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge and he has excellent technique and form, so he’s already well advanced in that area. But the USC commit was pushed back into the pile way too often and even though he stayed in front of elite defensive tackles, they did move him backward into the pocket. Neilon is listed at 6-foot-2 and 286 pounds, but he just didn’t seem to stone a lot of top DTs at that event. -- Gorney

New rank: 198

Previous rank: 126

Difference: -78

Anderson is a strong and aggressive offensive lineman, but struggled at the Opening at times against top-level competition. That said, he still won the matchups he was the clear favorite to win, and is an athletic prospect for his position. Anderson has long been committed to Texas Tech. -- Krueger

New rank: 200

Previous rank: 120

Difference: -80

Taylor made a major move up during the spring and his size and length still make him one of the most intriguing prospects at his position. But at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge, he wasn't on the level of some of the nation's other top linebackers and we adjusting his ranking as such. Auburn, Georgia, Oklahoma and several others remain in the mix for Taylor. -- Wommack

New rank: 228

Previous rank: 61

Difference: -167

Herbert had a tough time against top-flight competition at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge. He carries some bad weight and will have to remove that while adding muscle at the next level. There's still a lot to like about Herbert's game and his potential is still high, he's just not as developed physically or technique-wise as we'd hoped. Herbert is committed to Michigan. -- Cassidy

New rank: 231

Prev. rank: 149

Difference: -82

Hines is a very solid run-defender at inside linebacker. Hines showed well at the Opening for the most part, but many others have been extraordinary this summer, causing him to lose ground in the rankings. Hines has carved out a top-ten from nearly 90 offers and is looking to commit during the season. -- Krueger

New rank: 238

If rankings were just based off physical prowess and how players look, Jaggers would be near the top of the heap. He’s a huge target at tight end and he has excellent hands. But the UCLA commit is not incredibly fast off the line or in his routes, so he never gets great separation from linebackers. He still makes catches because of his big body, but he’s not a burner down the field. -- Gorney

New rank: 245

Prev. rank: 75

Difference: -170

The LSU quarterback commit missed most of his junior season with a knee injury and while he still has a ton of ability, he struggled mightily at several camp events this summer. Narcisse will have to improve his accuracy if he wants to get back in the mix with top overall players in this year's class. -- Wommack
