With several players from the 2012 recruiting class hoping to hear their names called in April’s NFL Draft, we look back at the past ACC recruiting classes. Each team’s class is highlighted with a headliner, or top-rated prospect, and a lower-rated recruit who was considered a diamond in the rough.

Headliner: Shakim Phillips, WR, 4-star
Phillips had an unusual career. He saw limited action as a freshman in 2010 and decided to transfer to UCONN.
