After going through the top classes in the SEC and the Big Ten, it’s time to break down the ACC.


1. Miami

— Even with DB Antione Jackson wanting out and losing DB Cormani McClain in this class, it’s still epic for Mario Cristobal as he flexes his recruiting muscles after a poor season one.

2. Clemson

— Clemson continues to roll out small and elite classes year after year and won three big recruiting battles in Alabama which speaks volumes.

3. Florida State

— Flipping QB Brock Glenn from Ohio State caps off a class for FSU we have been expected since Jimbo Fisher left.

Lausanne quarterback Brock Glenn throws the ball during their scrimmage against Germantown on Friday, July 30, 2021.

4. North Carolina

— This class is strong on defense and that’s key. But so was 2021 and that hasn’t helped. These guys need to be developed.

5. NC State

— It’s a small but solid class with a lot of in state wins which is always key. The DB class should impact early.

6. Virginia Tech

— It’s a very good class based on how bad the season was and the recruiting thumbprint rangers from home to California.

7. Louisville

— Elite players from Florida, Georgia and California and this class would have been better without the coaching change.

8. Pitt

— It’s not Pat Narduzzi’s best class and losing Kenny Minchey hurt but keep an eye on this defensive class as there are sleepers in here.

9. Wake Forest

— Dave Clawson keeps rolling out average classes based on rankings and winning seasons. This class has zero players from North Carolina and is still solid.

10. Duke

— Mike Elko had an amazing first season and this class reflects that. Duke has to overcome academic hurdles and he still reeled in talent from Georgia, Texas and Florida.

11. Virginia

— A bit of a scattered class geographically and a need to keep more kids home is clear.

12. Boston College

— A rough season hurt recruiting and more battles on the east coast need to be won.

13. Georgia Tech

— This class is heavy on Georgia players which I like but many of them didn’t have big offers and will need to be developed.

14. Syracuse

— No way to sugarcoat this, this class isn’t pretty on paper and there are way too many kids from the Northeast.
