After much anticipation for recruiting fans, Rivals released their new top 100 rankings earlier today. Below is analysis of the three Big 12 commitments that made the cut and more.
- Iowa State commit WR Allen Lazard is the highest Big 12 commit in the new set of rankings. He checks in at #25 and is still the top-ranked receiver in the nation. He was one of the prospects in serious discussion for being on of the four new five-star prospects, but he didn't get the upgrade.
- QB Jerrod Heard (Texas commit) comes in at #72 and is the 3rd-highest ranked dual-threat QB. When Heard signs in February, he likely will be the highest ranked QB in the conference.
- The last Big 12 commit in the rankings is DE Derick Roberson. He's #90 overall and the 7th-highest ranked weakside defensive end in the nation. Roberson has great upside and I still feel that he's somewhat overlooked by recruitniks.
- With the new updates come some changes in the 2014 team rankings. The Texas Longhorns are still first nationally, but after that it takes a while to find the next Big 12 team. Oklahoma comes in at #24 followed by Texas Tech (#25), Baylor (#30), Kansas State and TCU (tied at #34), Oklahoma State (#40), and Iowa State (#41) is the last Big 12 team in the top 50.
