ReRank Breakdown: 2015 Washington Recruiting Class

The Washington 2015 recruiting class demonstrated a notable trend in player development, particularly in the higher-performing recruits. The class was initially ranked 29th, reflecting modest expectations, but saw an upward revision to 22nd based on performance outcomes. This improvement indicates successful player development, as several recruits were able to transition to significant roles within the program.
A total of 28 recruits were brought in, with a blue-chip percentage of 18, which is relatively low compared to typical power conference standards. Despite this, the class produced impactful players like Jake Browning and Myles Gaskin, both of whom became NFL starters, a significant achievement for a class with such a low initial ranking. The outcomes for the majority of the recruits, particularly in the middle and lower tiers of the rankings, suggest that Washington's development program effectively maximized the potential of its recruits.

Overall, the 2015 recruiting class at Washington met and slightly exceeded expectations, considering the original class ranking and the subsequent performance. The S2S rerank moved up due to the emergence of key players as starters and contributors, particularly in pivotal positions like quarterback and running back. The presence of NFL starters further indicates successful player development. The main takeaway from this class is that Washington effectively utilized its recruiting resources to cultivate talent, resulting in a stronger than anticipated performance from its recruits.
