UCLA

The Bruins started fast and finished strong, landing TE Marcedes Lewis and DB Eric McNeal early and getting QB Mike Nixon, QB Drew Olson, and DB Jarrad Page late in the campaign.

USC
|
The Trojans owe a lot of this year's success to the Long Beach Poly team that is contributing four All-Americans to this class. They also landed a top prospect in Minnesota, TE Dominique Byrd; OL Kyle Williams from Dallas; and one of the nation's most underrated players, WR Mike Williams from Tampa, Fla.

Washington
|
Despite having to deal with poor year for talent in the Evergreen State, the Huskies once again managed to put together a very impressive group of athletes, led by OL Nathan Rhodes, DL Donnie Mateaki, and in-state standouts QB Isaiah Stanback and RB Shelton Sampson.

|
Arizona
|
The Wildcats assembled a special class due mainly to their efforts in the Lone Star State. The Texas haul is led by WR Biren Ealy, RB Gilbert Harris, WR Mike Jefferson, and U.S. Army All-American RaShawn Mosley. Perhaps the biggest name in the class is QB Ryan O'Hara from California.

Arizona State

The Sun Devils went after speed this season and got help in the secondary and at wide receiver. Their top prospects include DBs Mike Davis, Andre Bailey and Brett Hudson; WRs Blake Mackey, Derek Hagan and Terry Richardson.
