Obviously, there are a lot of schools here, but the main contenders seem to be LSU, Auburn, Florida, and Clemson. As of right now, many predict that Crawford will end up at LSU under Brian Kelly, and the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives LSU a 77.6 percent chance to land him. Still, a lot of people in Auburn’s camp are confident that Safeties coach Zac Etheridge will be able to pull this one out. This recruitment is very much in wait-and-see mode right now, but it looks like Crawford will end up as a Tiger one way or another.
Gracen Harris, WR, Ennis, TX (Ennis HS), Class of 2025, #188 Nationally, #25 WR, #32 in Texas
2025 WR Gracen Harris announced his commitment to Oklahoma on Monday, May 1st. Harris will also suit up for the Sooners on the baseball field.

One of the biggest factors in this recruitment was Harris’s long-standing relationship with Oklahoma wide receivers coach Emmett Jones. Jones was the first to offer the Dallas Fort-Worth standout, extending the invitation all the way back in 2021 while Jones was coaching at Kansas. He re-offered Harris shortly after taking a coaching job at Oklahoma back in January. Harris joins four-star QB Kevin Sperry in Oklahoma’s fifth-rated 2025 class.
Kennedy Urlacher, Safety, Chandler, AZ (Chandler HS), Class of 2024, #607 Nationally, #57 Safety, #13 in Arizona
On Monday, three-star safety Kennedy Urlacher chose Notre Dame over TCU, Miami, and Penn State. He is the son of former Chicago Bear LB Brian Urlacher.

Notre Dame offered Urlacher back and January, and never turned the heat down since they began recruiting him. Urlacher is a talented player and does well in coverage. This is a good pickup for the Irish to add to their secondary class for 2024.
Jordan Lyle, RB, Fort Lauderdale, FL (St. Thomas Aquinas HS), Class of 2024, #319 Nationally, #27 RB, #49 in Florida
On Saturday, four-star running back Jordan Lyle committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Lyle chose Ohio State over Miami, Florida State, Alabama, and more. He joins James Peoples and Sam Williams-Dixon in Ohio State’s group of backs for the 2024 class.

Lyle is close with Buckeye RB coach Tony Alford, stating that while on a visit to Ohio State back in March, he talked to Alford “pretty much the whole time.” He was also impressed by the way they practiced, as well as the depth and skill displayed by the running back room in Columbus. Lyle is the 13th commit in Ohio State’s 2024 class, bringing them closer to the coveted number one ranked class in the nation.
