Updated Rivals Rankings today at 12pm ET

Which player has the most to prove to you this upcoming all-star season?

Josh Helmholdt, Midwest: Alliance (Ohio) Marlington athleteDymonte Thomas could have the most to gain at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in January. Thomas has already proven he is a great athlete and one of the fastest players in the Midwest. We still have not seen him in coverage, though, and he is headed to Michigan next year to play safety. If the 6-foot-2, 192-pounder can show he has the range and coverage skills to play deep, he could be in line for a good bump come January.

Sounds like Dymonte is going to be a beast as far as run D and when he's sent on the blitz, but it will be interesting to see how he fares in coverage against some of the top WRs. Let's try and not overreact when we see Shane Morris fall down the rankings, obviously due to having mono, his stats aren't very impressive this year.

Surprised by Thomas dropping all the way out of the top 100. He missed a few games this year, but if he were listed as a running back I feel he'd be rated much higher. Kid was on pace to rush for 2,000+ yards.

Didn't he drop out of the top 100 even before this re-rank? They do have a point; he never faces strong passing teams, and his team uses him for run support. thus he's basically a LB, and the questions about cover skills are legitimate. He didn't really go to camps either because he wrestled and played baseball. Just hasn't had the opportunity to show the skills.

What was Poggi's ranking before today? Seems like he got a bump. But I don't pay a
OT of attention to the rankings so I could very well be mistaken.
