MaxPreps Fresh Faces Class of 2012 Top 100 - MaxPreps Articles

Drae Bowles, WR, Jackson Christian (Jackson, Tenn.)

2011 is a banner year for talent in Tennessee. With players like wide receiver Drae Bowles, it appears that 2012 will also be strong.

The 6-3 Bowles is a threat to score any time he touches the ball. He racked up 467 receiving yards as a ninth grader for the Eagles. He also tied for the team lead in touchdown receptions with seven.

Bowles also took some handoffs and has the ability to return kicks. It would be surprising if Lane Kiffin, given his recent penchant for offering young recruits, doesn’t try to lure Bowles to Knoxville sometime soon.

Brandon Hill, OL, Manassas (Memphis, Tenn.)

Hailing from the same program as heavily-recruited lineman O.C. Brown, Brandon Hill is receiving early acclaim as a major recruit in the future.

The 6-5, 310-pound giant is already catching the eye of colleges coaches who stop by Manassas to recruit Brown. His size coupled with his athleticism give Hill an extremely high ceiling, as he is far from a finished product.

According to Manassas head coach Tommy Warren, college coaches that visit Manassas see Hill and mistakenly assume they are looking at Brown.

Though he spent the spring with Manassas, it's still not 100 percent certain that Hill will suit up with the team in the fall. There's a chance he'll end up playing for another Memphis school, Craigmont.

As far as class of 2012 linemen go in Tennessee, another one to watch is Gallatin defensive lineman Tre Haynes. A massive frame at 6-2, 320 pounds, he could reach his enormous potential if he adds to his strength and works on his conditioning. If that happens, he could be a blue chip defensive tackle.

JaFar Mann, DL, Stephenson (Stone Mountain, Ga.)

Mann followeded up a solid varsity season as a ninth grader with an impressive summer performance at the University of Tennessee camp, where he reportedly nabbed an offer from Lane Kiffin.

The 6-3, 265-pound Mann averaged roughly six tackles per game last season. He is already hearing from Alabama in addition to his offer from the Vols.

Don’t think Mark Richt will allow Mann to leave the state without putting up a fight. Georgia has also showed interest in him, and will certainly keep an eye on him during his sophomore season.


Barry Sanders Jr., RB, Heritage Hall (Oklahoma City, Okla.)

When you’re the son of arguably the greatest running back ever, playing high school football is a noteworthy story.

However, Barry Sanders Jr. would be on this list if his name were Barry Smith Jr. He’s simply that talented.

Barry Jr. thrashed opposing defenses, averaging 8.4 yards per carry. He tallied 12 touchdowns, including three in Heritage Hall’s state final victory which capped a perfect 15-0 season. He demonstrated the balance, vision and change of direction that made his father legendary. His season highlights are jaw dropping.

It appears that the sky will be the limit for Barry Jr. Expect him to be a household name by the end of his high school career.


Deion Sanders Jr., ATH, Cedar Hill (Texas)

While his famous father was one of the greatest cornerbacks ever, Deion “Bucky” Sanders Jr. appears to be equally dangerous on both sides of the ball.

The younger Sanders is blessed with top-flight speed and quickness, which could suit him well at defensive back or wide receiver, though he also played some quarterback growing up.

While the Cedar Hill Longhorns have tremendous depth, look for Sanders to find a way to contribute as a sophomore in the fall. By the time he’s a senior, he should be next in a long line of Cedar Hill players to be heavily recruited.

WR Drae Bowles at 6'3" will be highly recruited for the 2012 class out of Jackson Christian. A freakish looking athlete with size, speed, and intelligence.

Drae is my neighbor and he goes to my rival school. He is a great athlete and definitely will be one of the top recruits in Tennessee for 2012. I've played against him since middle school. He is a very physical reciever with good hands and great speed. Should turn out to be a very good prospect

But seriously, I've seen film from his freshman year and he definitely runs just like his daddy
