QB K.J. Costello
Costello is a big, strong kid at 6’4″ and 215 pounds with a strong arm that allows him to make all the throws. The California native wants to play in a pro-style system and is strongly considering both Stanford and USC. He needs to become a little bit more consistent with his accuracy, but he has the potential to develop into a top NFL prospect.

S Deontay Anderson
Stanford is making a strong push for the five-star safety, trying to take him away from Texas and Texas A&M, who are favorites to land him. Anderson is 6’1″ and 195 pounds, and plays a hard-hitting style that will serve him well at the next level.

DT Derrick Brown
Browns is a five-star recruit because of his massive size (6'4", 309 pounds) and run stopping ability. He has superior athleticism to go along with that size, which has every major school showing interest in Brown.
RB Brandon Stevens
Stevens is an under-the-radar recruit, but his physical running style would make him a perfect fit in Stanford's system. He already as good size at 6'1", 200 pounds and a good amount of agility, but without top-end speed, he's going to need to redshirt and add some muscle.
WR Brandon Burton
Burton is the seventh-ranked receiver in the country and already has good size for the college game at 6'2" and 195 pounds. He's not a burner on the outside, but he has terrific ball skills and always finds a way to come down with the catch no matter how good the coverage is.
