Names in the News
–Cameron Lenhardt, EDGE, Bradenton, Florida (IMG Academy), #308 nationally, #37 edge, and #56 in FL
Four-star Florida edge Cameron Lenhardt announced his commitment to the Nebraska Cornhuskers during Tuesday’s Under Armour All-American game. He had committed to the Cornhuskers in August before backing off his pledge on September 18, which came shortly after defensive coordinator Erik Chinander was fired, as well as head coach Scott Frost not long after. New head coach Matt Rhule took over and quickly reoffered Lenhardt, which took an official visit to Lincoln on December 9th. He joins a Nebraska class, now ranked No. 25 overall, that also landed three-star Georgia cornerback Ethan Nation.

–Jelani McDonald, WR, Waco, Texas (Connally HS), #130 nationally, #6 athlete, and #26 in TX
Four-star Waco (TX.) athlete Jelani McDonald will decide on Saturday at the All-American Bowl game in San Antonio. His final three schools are the Oklahoma State Cowboys, TCU Horned Frogs, and Texas Longhorns. The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Longhorns as nig favorites to land him with a 98% chance. However, the Horned Frogs are in the mix as his father, LaMarcus, was an All-American at TCU in the early 2000s. I think he chooses the Longhorns, but the Frogs have a chance.

–Ashton Porter, DL, Cypress, Texas (Cy Ranch HS), #329 nationally, #45 defensive lineman, and #57 in TX
The Oregon Ducks added to their impressive recruiting class that currently ranks No. 11 when four-star Cypress (TX.) defensive lineman Ashton Porter committed to them during the Under Armour All-American game on Tuesday. He had been committed to the Northwestern Wildcats before backing off his pledge in October. The Ducks then jumped into the picture when they offered him on October 24. Porter officially visited Eugene on December 16, and Oregon became the favorite. Dan Lanning is about to celebrate some more.

–Duce Robinson, TE, Phoenix, Arizona (Pinnacle HS), #17 nationally, #1 tight end, and #1 in AZ
Duce Robinson is the number one tight end in the nation who has four teams in the mix for him. Those teams are the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, and USC Trojans. The Trojans had been the favorites. However, the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs are the new leaders to land the five-star Phoenix (AZ.) tight end. The On3 RPM now gives them a 58.3% chance of landing him, followed by the Trojans at 33.2% and the Longhorns at 5.4%. The Bulldogs are the team to beat.

–Sammy Brown, 2024 LB, Jefferson, Georgia (Jefferson HS), #12 nationally, #1 linebacker, and #4 in GA
Five-star 2024 Jefferson (GA.) linebacker Sammy Brown is one of the top players in the 2024 class. He has over 20 offers, but six schools stand out right now. Those schools are the Clemson Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oklahoma Sooners, and Tennessee Volunteers. Regarding those programs, he said,
“Those are the programs that have really stood out to me in this whole process and have really kept constant relationships, It can always change. It can always be flipped or anything like that. But right now, it’s those top six.”
The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has Georgia in the lead with a 24% chance of landing him, followed by Clemson at 21%. I like the Bulldogs right now too.
