Who is counted
College players we traced back to high school, grouped by their first college stop: straight to a D1, D2 or D3 program, or to a junior college first. A JUCO starter is split by the highest four-year level he reached after it. Each player counts once, with one reading of each showcase measure, taken in junior summer, senior fall or senior spring. Earlier readings are left out. Height and weight are the size each player is listed at on his college roster, not a high-school measurement.
A group with fewer than 20 players with a reading is not shown. A median is the middle reading: half measured higher, half lower. These are counts from public showcase and roster records, not a judgment of any player.
