Today is National Signing Day for high school athletes across the country. It seems like just yesterday that Gator fans were on their knees praying that a superstar WR from Virginia Beach would commit to the University of Florida.

Rivals.com had Percy Harvin listed as a 5-star athlete and ranked No. 1 for his position. Landing Percy in addition to Tim Tebow gave the Florida Gators the best recruiting class in the country for 2006. Take a look at some of the other WRs that Harvin ranked above for his class. Jeremy Maclin and Michael Crabtree (he’s on the athletes list) are the only two WRs that can compare to what Percy has done.

Looking back after 3 years on the field, I think Rivals would be happy with their No. 1 ranking for Percy. He turned out to be the most dynamic player in college football and helped bring two national championships to Gainesville.
