No. 1 DT Jacobbi McDaniel (Greenville, Fla./Madison County) is listed at 6-foot -- and that may be slightly generous -- and does not possess great bulk at 267 pounds, but once you get past the lack of size you find a fine football player. The current Florida State commit is able to not only overcome his lack of size with quickness and athletic ability, but he is also able to use it to his advantage. He can attack with good leverage and play with power because he is able to quickly get under a blocker's pad and control his opponent.

We were slightly concerned about his size going in to our initial evaluation of McDaniel, but as his film rolled on, those concerns washed away.

Jacobbi McDaniel is blessed with one great set of hips. They pivot quickly, tracking the ball carrier who seeks a crease in the line. They swivel like Chubby Checker dancing the Twist.

"The girls love my dance moves," he said, laughing.

McDaniel, a defensive tackle at Madison County High in Madison, Fla., has the right moves on the field, too. He is a throwback player who sacks the notion that size (he's 6-foot-2, 280 pounds) always matters.

"Never mind his size; he's generates so much power from those explosive hips," Madison County coach Frankie Carroll said.
