The National Underclassmen is proud to present a look at some of the top players in the class of 2014. Below are 150 players from around the country who have demonstrated that they may be NUC regionally and/or nationally ranked players when the 2014 rankings come out next year. This is not a final list and many more players will surface as the 2012 season commences.
A quick breakdown of the NUC150 Watch List shows that there are 23 players from the Sunshine State, 21 players from the Lone Star State, and 13 from the Golden State. Linebacker is the position with the most representation with 23 players followed closely by defensive lineman and athletes with 20 representatives apiece.
We hope fans of the NUC will enjoy this list and watch closely as it takes shape next spring with the state rankings, regional rankings, and national rankings. Again, good luck to every coach across America and every player that has devoted their time to playing one of the greatest games in the world.
