While the New Jersey 2014 class might not be as deep as the 2013 class, it still has great talent. Peppers may turn out to be the best New Jersey High School player ever. Nelson could be one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the country. Washington could be the sleeper in this class because of his athleticism and length. This list will be updated and expanded twice over the next year.
