1. Cam Akers, 5-star RB

Is there anyone else that could possibly be here in the first position? Akers is the #1 prospect in the state of Mississippi and is currently ranked 4th in the nation.

Ole Miss has gone all in on signing Akers this year, a move that could really pay off on December 27th when he makes his announcement.

Akers is currently down to Ole Miss, Florida State, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and LSU. It appears that Ole Miss and Florida State are the two teams to look for when he makes his announcement.

With an offensive coordinator that runs just as much as he passes, Akers would fit perfectly into the Ole Miss offense next season.

If he does sign with Ole Miss, look for him to start from day one. Ole Miss could potentially sign its best running back in the history of the program with Akers.

It appears that Cam wants to represent the state of Mississippi, and there is no better way to do so than playing at the flagship school of Mississippi.

247Sports has Akers ranked as the 2nd best running back in the nation and the 4th best player in the country.
