Jones dropped 12 spots and remains at No. 160 overall. The four-star prospect displayed his dual-threat capabilities out of the backfield during his senior season, rushing for 1,673 yards and 20 touchdowns, averaging 11.8 yards per carry. He also hauled in 30 catches for 597 yards and six touchdowns.

Despite suffering a season-ending knee injury just two games into his senior season, Thompson dropped just 20 spots in the latest updates and finds himself at No. 200. The four-star recorded 11 tackles on defense and hauled in two passes for 36 yards during his brief senior campaign,
