Ranking college football's top 50 players.

Kickoff for the 2015 college football season is just around the corner. With media days underway and players reporting to camps in August, it won’t be long before teams are officially preparing for the opening week.

With the season countdown under 50 days until kickoff, it’s time to take a look at the best 50 players in college football for the upcoming year.

Ranking the best 50 players in college football is no easy assignment. Every aspect of a player was weighed in this evaluation: Pro potential, positional importance, college statistics and awards, projections for 2015 and coaching changes or personnel losses.

Bosa tops the list, to no one's surprise. Here's the top 10:

10. Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State

Prescott was a big reason why Mississippi State reached double-digit victories for the third time in program history in 2014. In addition to earning first-team All-SEC honors, Prescott threw for 3,449 yards and 27 scores, while rushing for 986 yards and 14 touchdowns.

9. Trevone Boykin, QB, TCU

Boykin was one of college football’s most improved players in 2014, and the senior has TCU among the favorites to earn a playoff spot in 2015. Under the guidance of new co-coordinators Doug Meacham and Sonny Cumbie, Boykin led all Big 12 quarterbacks with 3,901 passing yards and 33 scores. He also added 707 yards and eight scores on the ground.

8. A’Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama

Robinson’s contributions to the Alabama defense go beyond the box score. As a nose tackle/end in the Crimson Tide’s 3-4 alignment, the Texas native isn’t going to produce huge numbers in the defensive scheme. However, Robinson anchors one of the nation’s top defenses up front and recorded 49 tackles last season.

7. Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss

Nkemdiche helped to anchor the defensive line for the “Landshark” defense, as Ole Miss limited opponents to 16 points a game in 2014. The Georgia native has recorded 69 tackles and four sacks over the last two years and earned first-team All-SEC honors last season.

6. Kendall Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech

Fuller is a lockdown corner for coordinator Bud Foster and is an Athlon Sports first-team All-American for 2015. The Baltimore native started all 13 games and earned second-team all-conference honors as a true freshman in 2013. Fuller started all 13 games again in 2014 and was a third-team All-American by Athlon Sports. With Brandon Facyson returning, Virginia Tech should have one of the nation’s top cornerback tandems.

5. Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida

Just like Virginia Tech’s Kendall Fuller, Hargreaves III has been an impact defender since the first day on campus. The Tampa native started the final 10 games in 2013 and earned All-SEC honors as a true freshman. Hargreaves III elevated his game even higher in 2014, earned Associated Press All-America honors and leading the SEC with 13 pass breakups.

4. Scooby Wright, LB, Arizona

Wright wasn’t a huge prospect on the recruiting trail, but the California native has blossomed into one of college football’s best defenders. The 6-foot-1 linebacker started 12 games as a freshman in 2013 and recorded 83 stops. Wright was even more dominant in 2014, posting a whopping 163 tackles (29 for a loss), 14 sacks and six forced fumbles.

3. Jalen Ramsey, DB, Florida State

A strong case could be made for Ramsey to rank No. 1 on this list. After a standout debut in 2013 (49 tackles, one interception), the Tennessee native was a versatile and prolific defender for coordinator Charles Kelly. In 14 games, Ramsey recorded 79 stops (9.5 for a loss), three sacks, two interceptions and 12 pass breakups. With the departure of cornerbacks P.J. Williams and Ronald Darby, Ramsey is expected to play cornerback in 2015.

2. Ohio State Quarterbacks

Yes, we are cheating just a bit here. Instead of ranking all three quarterbacks from the Buckeyes within the list, let’s just group them in one spot. All three – Cardale Jones, J.T. Barrett and Braxton Miller – are worthy of Heisman consideration if any can start a full season of games. But here’s the big question: Who will coach Urban Meyer pick?

1. Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State

Dominant. That’s the best way to describe Bosa’s play for Ohio State over the last two years. As a true freshman in 2013, Bosa recorded 44 tackles (13.5 for a loss) and 7.5 sacks. The Florida native continued to wreak havoc against offensive lines as a sophomore, recording 21 tackles for a loss, 13.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. Bosa’s play in the trenches sets the tone for Ohio State’s defense, and the junior has been projected by some as the top overall draft prospect for 2016.

I mean, he's about to play an entirely different position in the NFL. Will be interesting to see if he produces, though. 
 
No Dawgs on that top 10 list SMH

Spoke to Jordan Jenkins and Mark Richt today. Both are extremely confident in Lorenzo Carter. I think he's going to be a better player than Floyd and Jenkins. The problem last season was against the run. Bulked up and should be able to seal that edge a bit better this fall.

Good year to be a Dawgs fan.

(Im a Gamecock btw)
 
It's already a wrap for FSU & Nauta family since his dads job isn't relocating them to Florida. Im bit ready to say he's UGA bound yet but he's visited and I think he'll be there for Dawg Night this weekend. Always follow the visits....

if I were to follow the vists then there's no chance he's going to UGA being that he's always @ FSU more than any other school lol (including today)

He saw the light on that scum program. Hope the Nauta family is able to see the same. [emoji]128591[/emoji][emoji]127998[/emoji]

:lol: :lol:

I said 'follow the visits' for a reason, not add them up and whoever has the most tallies wins

Ex: who was the last visit for Deandre Jordan, and who did he sign with? Same with Laremy Tunsil and countless others, we ok'd him to visit Ole Miss a week before NSD and got robbed without a pistol.
Tis why Saban threatens to pull schollies from commits that want to visit elsewhere. Whoever gets the last visit usually seals the deal and Nauta is still looking... not to mention he wore red/black to FSU today :smile: he gonna enroll early?
