"Sitting atop the list for the first time is a player from North Carolina, Wake Forest defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.
Lawrence shot from 13th to No. 1 in the ratings based in part on a dominant performance at the Rivals Camp Series Charlotte stop in April.
The 6-foot-5, 290-pounder helped Wake Forest reach the state 4-AA finals as a junior, when he made 55 tackles, 25 tackles for loss and 10 sacks. He's the object of a massive recruiting battle that's seen more than 40 schools offer him scholarships.
Lawrence doesn't have a favorite at this point, but both North Carolina and N.C. State are in the mix.
Holding the No. 1 spot in the Rivals.com 100 puts Lawrence in some elite company. Past No. 1s include Heisman Trophy winner Vince Young (2002), Adrian Peterson (2004), Percy Harvin (2006) and Jadevon Clowney (2011)."
