ESPN MAGAZINE:

On Feb. 2, Scouts Inc. will name the nation's top recruiting class. And we've learned a lot about some of the players. But which preps will shine brightest by the time they're college seniors (if they become seniors)? We asked our analysts to gaze into their blue-chip crystal balls and hand out the awards four years in advance. The envelopes please...

Heisman Trophy:

Jeff Driskel QB, Florida

Quick release, faster start. As Driskel's peers line up prom dates, the nation's No. 1 passer is already on campus, receiving tutelage from new Gators offensive coordinator Charlie Weis.

Runner-Up:

Isaiah Crowell, RB, undecided

Compact (5'11", 210) and hits top gear in a hurry.

Biletnikoff Award (Best Wide Receiver):

George Farmer, USC

Built like a young Dez Bryant, with a mean streak. "Farmer has all the tools and will benefit from having a great QB," says ESPN's Billy Tucker. Who's that QB? See: 2014 Unitas winner.

Runner-Up:

Charone Peake, Clemson

Tall, fast and can line up almost anywhere on the field.

Doak Walker Award (Best Running Back):

Malcolm Brown, Texas

Described by Scouts Inc. as a "load back who can handle lots of carries," Brown (2,596 yards in 2010) compares well with UT great Ricky Williams, a two-time Walker winner.

Runner-Up:

Aaron Green, Nebraska

Says ESPN's Tom Luginbill: "Near impossible to get a direct shot on."

Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award (Best Quarterback):

Max Wittek, USC

At California's Mater Dei High, he had to replace legend Matt Barkley. At USC, he'll have to replace ... Matt Barkley. But with a big arm and fearless approach, Wittek ought to be just fine in those shoes ... again.

Runner-Up:

Jerrard Randall, Oregon

Should be a perfect dual-threat fit for the Ducks offense.

Outland Trophy (Best Interior Lineman):

Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, undecided

The No. 3 overall prospect stands 6'7", weighs 325 and runs like a tight end. Best part about Kouandjio: He's a dominant block-finisher.

Runner-Up:

La'El Collins, OT, LSU

He's 6'5", 281 pounds and has the balance and nimbleness of a tightrope walker.

Lombardi Trophy (Best Lineman or Linebacker):

Jadeveon Clowney DE, Undecided

Our experts didn't need to confer: All agreed on Clowney. "No matter who he's faced," says ESPN.com's Jeremy Crabtree, "he can't be stopped."
