Where Dorial Green-Beckham and Other Top Uncommitted Players Will Land

This article is going to take the guesswork out of National Signing Day.

There are still a ton of uncommitted talented players whose future home is a question mark, but have left enough clues for us to deduce where they will be headed. 

Let's dive into those clues and deduce where the top three uncommitted players are headed (player ranking according to ESPN).

 

WR Dorial Green-Beckham

Overall Rank: 3

Green-Beckham has had colleges drooling over him for a year. He is a talented wide receiver with skills in a 6'6", 220-pound frame. 

He has not released a list of finalists, but the main competition seems to be between Texas, Arkansas and Missouri. 

Ultimately, he is going to choose Arkansas. They have a great system to fit his skills, and if he was going to stay in-state and sign with Missouri, he would have already made that announcement. 

Projected School: Arkansas

 

ATH Davonte Neal

Overall Rank: 8

Neal is an explosive player who excelled as a corner and a receiver in high school. He will likely end up as a corner in college due to his 5'10" stature, but no matter which side of the ball he ends up on, he is going to be an exciting return man. 

Neal is from Arizona, and that is where he is going to stay. Arkansas appeared to be the early favorite here, but that all changed when the Wildcats hired Rich Rodriguez. 

Rich Rod has been going hard after Neal, who scheduled an official visit to Arizona for February 11th. Not long after that visit he will announce that is where he is going to play. 

Projected School: Arizona

 

OT Andrus Peat

Overall Rank: 9

This massive offensive lineman has his choice of schools, most notably by Pac-12 schools and Nebraska. 

Peat's brother plays for Nebraska, which has led many to peg the Cornhuskers as the favorites. However, they are not going to win this battle. That honor is going to Stanford—even if Peat doesn't realize it yet.

Peat will not turn down the prestige of going to Stanford or the ability to be a part of what has turned into one of the best schools in the nation at producing NFL linemen.  

Projected School: Stanford
