Marcus Forston

6-2, 290, Defensive Tackle, Miami (Northwestern)

One of the most dominant and accomplished defensive linemen in Florida's recent prep football history. Paced the Bulls (15-0) to their second straight Class 6A state title and a No. 1 ranking in USA Today's final national poll. Led Northwestern in sacks for two seasons – 12 as a junior and 20 this season, including three in the state-title game against Orlando Boone. "With the amount of attention he gets, you'd think he'd be one of those guys who think they're better than everyone else," Northwestern coach Billy Rolle said. "He has that down-to-earth personality, and that comes from his family."

COLLEGE CHOICE: Florida State.
