More rankings: 1-50 | 51-100 | 101-150
1. QB Matt Barkley
Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei
Signed With: USC
What He's Done: While Barkley's senior season didn't go as planned, he'll go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks to play for USC. Barkley set several Pac-12 records, including career completions (1,001), passing yards (12,327) and touchdown passes (116). He's a potential first-round pick in this year's NFL draft.
