were ranked in ESPN's Ultimate 300 Top 50 Players.

The rankings (8 years of players) were based on both the prospect's grade and projection out of high school with their actual college impact and production.

Bowers was ranked #12 overall, Watkins ranked #14 overall, and Spiller ranked #20 overall.

RecruitingNation scouting report: This kid is a really good football player. Watkins is a lean, sleak wide receiver with good height and exceptional foot quickness. He is fast, quick and very heady. Has terrific awareness as a route runner and football player. His feet move so rapidly that he looks faster than he actually is, but he has more than enough speed to threaten deep at the next level. Bolts off the line of scrimmage and gets onto the defender quickly.

College accolades: Two-time All-American. Two-time, first-team All-ACC. Career statistics (3 years): 240 rec, 3,391 yards, 27 rec TDs, 1,376 KO ret yards
