College football Signing Day: An early look at top 10 recruits in Class of 2021
As the rush of college football's early signing period winds down for the 2020 class, here's a look at the players who will make up the elite of next year's recruiting class:
1. Korey Foreman (Centennial/Corona, California), DE, undecided: Foreman is one of the most feared pass rushers in the country, regardless of class. He shared the spotlight on the defensive line with teammate Drake Johnson this season, and at this point, there’s a strong possibility the two could ultimately reconnect at Southern California.
2. Sam Huard (Kennedy Catholic/Burien, Washington), QB, Washington: Huard plays with a high IQ and makes precise throws all over the field. This past season, Huard threw for more than 4,000 yards for the second consecutive year and added 56 touchdowns with a 123.8 quarterback rating. His father, Damon, and uncle, Brock, played quarterback for the Huskies.

3. Payton Page (Dudley/Greensboro, North Carolina), DT, undecided: Page is a relentless pass rusher and run stopper who uses his quickness to bypass the opposition. North Carolina is making Page a priority, but Clemson and Georgia are coming on strong of late and could lure the talented lineman out of state.
4. Leonard Taylor (Palmetto/Miami), DT, undecided: Taylor has taken multiple visits to Florida, most recently in October, but Miami is turning up the heat for Taylor and is expected to be a formidable player in his recruitment.
5. Emeka Egbuka (Steilacoom/Washington), ATH, undecided: Egbuka dominated all facets of the game on offense this season, posting 2,257 all-purpose yards and 35 touchdowns. Washington is in the driver’s seat with Egbuka in its backyard, but Oregon, Clemson, Notre Dame, Alabama and others remain in contention.
6. Isaiah Johnson (Bluefield/West Virginia), DB, undecided: Johnson is a lock-down corner with speed, athleticism and great anticipation. The Mountaineers have the proximity edge, but Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia and others remain formidable.
7. J.T. Tuimoloau (Eastside Catholic/Sammamish, Washington), DT, undecided: Tuimoloau led Eastside to its third state title this season, racking up 11 sacks in 13 games. Good luck luring him away from the Huskies.
8. Troy Franklin (Menlo Atherton/California), WR, undecided: The speedy wide receiver recently released a top 11 of Oregon, Washington, Alabama, LSU, Utah, Texas, Southern California, Arizona State, Washington State, Oregon State and Tennessee.
9. Camar Wheaton (Lakeview Centennial/Garland, Texas), RB, undecided: Wheaton combines the perfect blend of speed and shiftiness to dominate out of the backfield. Wheaton’s latest visit was to Notre Dame, a strong contender at this point; Oklahoma, Alabama, Baylor and others remain players here.
10. Caleb Williams (Gonzaga College/Washington, D.C.), QB, undecided: Williams is the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the junior class and is nearly impossible to stop. Most experts agree that, at this point, it’s a two-horse race between Georgia and LSU.
