2024 recruiting is flying towards the early signing period. Here are the most important tight end commitments so far, in my humble opinion.


1. Landen Thomas to Florida State

— Flipping him back from UGA is a massive message to the nation about FSU recruiting and things have been on an uptick since.

2. Carter Nelson to Nebraska

— Matt Rhule needs to send a message and this in-state star is a great start. He was a must-get.

3. Christian Bentancur to Clemson

— An Illinois kid with all the Midwest offers and Oregon as his leader at one point. This was a great recruiting job.

4. Michael Smith to South Carolina

— The Gamecocks need to hammer the state of Georgia in recruiting and this is a massive get.

5. Davon Mitchell to Oklahoma

— The California connection is even more important now with Lincoln Riley out there.

6. Jack Larsen to Notre Dame

— A Catholic kid from North Carolina may not be a surprise but it’s a big get in an important recruiting territory.

7. Grant Stec to Wisconsin

— He’s a big kid from Illinois which has become an important state already for Luke Fickell.

8. Luke Reynolds to Penn State

— PSU continues to recruit the tight end position as well as anyone in the country.

9. Jaden Reddell to Georgia

— UGA isn’t hurting losing Thomas as they have no worries recruiting tight ends. They headed right into the Midwest and landed him.
