This article covers my predictions for where the top-rated uncommitted prospects in 2023 will end up signing.
Nyckoles Harbor
Nyckoles Harbor is by far the biggest player left to commit in the 2023 class. He is also scheduled to commit on Wednesday, unlike a lot of the top players left. It feels like this recruitment is down to two teams, South Carolina where he is currently crystal balled, and Oregon, where he was on campus this past weekend.
In my opinion, I think he ends up at South Carolina. It is no secret that the Gamecocks have so much recruiting momentum leading up to National Signing Day. If Harbor recognizes that I think there is no doubt Shane Beamer can finish this off.
Prediction: South Carolina
Jalen Rashada
Does anyone know what Jaden Rashada is looking at right now besides a check? He visited TCU this past weekend, which was a little surprising considering up until then, he was rumored only to be looking out west.
He has also been to Arizona State, and in addition to that, there have been some rumors of a possible Colorado visit. Arizona State is clearly the best fit with Kenny Dillingham’s offense, but again the question becomes do they have the money?
As for Colorado, Shedeur Sanders still has multiple years of eligibility left, and do you really think Coach Prime will bench his son? It also just feels like Rashada isn’t the person who wants to sit right now. Maybe I’m wrong, but you can’t say he doesn’t feel like the biggest diva in college football right now.

For now, I am going to go off best fit, without the money, and say Arizona State. However, I do think this prediction could change rather quickly
Prediction: Arizona State
Duce Robinson
The tricky part of Duce Robinson is that he is going to play baseball as well. This recruitment is supposedly down to three teams, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and USC. For the most part, I think the top three are Georgia, Texas, and USC, mainly due to NIL. My prediction here is going to surprise a lot of people, but I really like Texas to grab Robinson. He would be a great addition to this already stacked class that includes Arch Manning.
Prediction: Texas
Rodrick Pleasant
Earlier today, Rodrick Pleasant announced his top five, along with the fact that he will be announcing his commitment on Wednesday as well. The schools left are Boston College, UCLA, Oregon, Cal, and USC. It is believed that USC and Oregon are well ahead of the other three schools. Personally, I think that Oregon will be able to continue its momentum from the early period and get Pleasant, especially since it was one of his most recent official visits.
Prediction: Oregon
Walker Lyons
Back in late November, Walker Lyons decommited from Stanford, most likely due to David Shaw leaving the program. The interesting part about that is he has not visited anywhere but Stanford since his decommitment. However, he has gotten at-home visits from Utah, and USC, and as recently as last week, Kirby Smart also flew out to California to visit Lyons.
In the end, I think Walker Lyons will end up at Georgia. Kirby Smart and the bulldogs have been pushing really hard recently to get another tight end. If not UGA, I think he ends up back at Stanford it seems like he still has a close connection with the coaches and program through the past few weeks following his decommitment.
Prediction: Georgia
