SI All-American unveiled its preseason SI99—the top high school football seniors from across the nation in the class of 2023—on Tuesday. As announced Monday, the rankings kick off with No. 1 recruit and Oregon Duck verbal commitment Dante Moore .
The Detroit (Mich. ) King High School star is coming off a great 2021 season, leading King to a state championship while throwing for better than 3,000 yards with a 40:3 touchdown to interception ratio. Moore followed it up with a torrid run on the camp and combine circuit, earning SI’s pick for Elite 11 MVP at the end of June thanks to a strong arm, consistent accuracy to all three levels, timing and touch regardless of setting.
The conversation at the top of the rankings, like most of the recruiting chatter surrounding the class of 2023, focused on the quarterback position . Two of the SI99’s top four spots and five of the top 10, including Arch Manning , are held by quarterback projections. As a reminder, SI ranks recruits based on their collegiate potential exclusively.
Focal points include premium position prospects (quarterback, offensive tackle, pass rusher, defensive back), high-floor evaluations and overall body of work with an emphasis most critically on varsity game video. 1. QB Dante Moore —Detroit (Mich.
