2014 Class

The week before signing day I always get nostalgic about previous classes. Then I wonder what the players in those classes did. This week I'm going to take you on a trip down memory lane with previous signing classes.

Today's remembery (I know it's not a word, but I like it) is with the 2014 class. I know it has only been one year, but you may be surprised at the contributions this class has already made.

3 THINGS ABOUT THE CHART

  1. The chart below lists the players who signed in the 2014 class in order of their 247.com composite ranking.
  2. The player with the highest ranking is first, lowest is last.
  3. The position, height and weight listed are from 2014 on 247.com.
