The third-best high school football player in the class of 2008 will suit up for Georgia.

So says Scout.com, which today released its first batch of top 100 junior rankings. No. 3 on the list: Summerville, S.C., wide receiver A.J. Green, who has said he’ll sign with Mark Richt’s Bulldogs in February.

Other notes of interest:

— Green isn’t the only UGA recruit on Scout’s list. Statesboro defensive tackle Deangelo Tyson is ranked No. 24 overall. Georgia target Tyler Love, an offensive tackle from Mountain Brook, Ala., checks in at No. 56.

— The top-ranked overall player — uncommitted Wichita, Kan., middle linebacker Arthur Brown — lists Georgia among his long list of options, along with Florida, Florida State, Kansas State, Michigan, Oklahoma and Southern Cal.

— Tyson is one of three Georgians among Scout’s top 100. Others: Cedar Grove wide receiver Josh Jarboe (No. 51) and Jefferson County lineman A.J. Harmon (No. 62).

— The top-ranked quarterback is Terrelle Pryor of Jeannette, Pa., who has yet to pick a school. Among his main suitors: Clemson, Florida, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, Pitt and West Virginia.

— Thirty-nine of Scout’s top 100 juniors have picked a college.

— After an off-year, Bobby Bowden and Florida State are off to a strong start, already landing commitments from three of Scout’s top 100 juniors: linebacker Nigel Bradham (No. 16, Crawfordville, Fla.); linebacker Nigel Carr (No. 71, Jacksonville); and safety C.J. Holton (No. 93, Crawfordville, Fla.).

— Oklahoma has more top-100 commitments (six) than any school. The Sooners’ Big 12 rival, Texas, is next with five.

— Ohio State and Southern Cal have four top-100 commitments.

— FSU, Nebraska, Notre Dame and UCLA have three apiece.

— Georgia is the only school with two.

— Programs with one: BYU, Clemson, Michigan, Missouri, Texas A&M and Washington.

— Remarkably, Florida has no top-100 commitments.
