That's where Concord (Calif.) Clayton Valley defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie is now and where he'll be after Signing Day.
The five-star Tennessee commit held on to the top spot in the final 2015 rankings, thanks to a stellar week at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, and for the first time since 2009, the Vols will have Scout's No. 1 prospect.
The Southeast leads the way with 35 prospects in the Scout 100.
Five of the top ten prospects in the country and eight of the top 15 call the Southeast home.
Aside from Thompson's move to No. 2, Nashville (Tenn.) Hillsboro defensive end Kyle Phillips made a huge jump in the rankings.
"Phillips moved up over 70 spots in the final rankings. He came back this season from shoulder surgery, and as the season went on, Phillips got better. The Tennessee commit went out with an impressive week as an Army All-American and was in the final discussion for a fifth star," said national recruiting analyst Chad Simmons.

-Jason Howell.Kahlil McKenzie's commitment to Tennessee was not much of a surprise since he has several ties to the Tennessee program. His father, Reggie McKenzie, grew up in the Knoxville area and was a standout linebacker for Tennessee before moving to the NFL. McKenzie also still has family in the area. Surprise or not, the commitment is huge for the Volunteers. It is just not often you find a 6-foot-4, 340-pound athlete who can bend and move and get off the ball the way he does. He has an NFL pedigree, tremendous size and athleticism, and he has the ability to jump right in and be a major contributor on an SEC defense as a true freshman.
