Michael Carroll

#186 NAT, #9 IOL, #5 PA

Committed to Alabama

Michael Carroll, a Penn State legacy and top-10 interior offensive lineman in the cycle, committed to coach Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide over Penn State and Georgia on Monday. The 6’6″, 325-pound Carroll is Alabama’s thirteenth commitment, which is strong enough to consider the Tide a top-5 class at this point in the cycle.

Talyn Taylor

#71 NAT, #10 WR, #3 IL

Committed to Georgia

You could argue that Talyn Taylor could push to be considered a top-5 receiver in the class without an injury-plagued junior season. The big play receiver committed to coach Kirby Smart and the Dawgs on Tuesday over Notre Dame and Michigan, giving Georgia their second receiver commit and thirteenth overall in the class.

Jaylen Williams

#236 NAT, #29 DL, #6 IL

Committed to Michigan

If there’s one thing that Michigan’s done well in any cycle, it’s recruiting the defensive line and Jaylen Williams looks to be next up alongside fellow commit Nathaniel Marshall (#4 DL) in Wolverine lore. Williams gave coach Sherrone Moore and Michigan the nod on Monday over Texas A&M and Nebraska, becoming the sixth commit in the class.

Ziyare Addison

#206 NAT, #23 OT, #29 FL

Committed to Oregon

Any time a team can go to the state of Florida and pull a top offensive lineman from the likes of Georgia and Florida State it’s a massive win, and coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks did just that. Addison is seen as a player who can play at guard or tackle, joining Demetri Manning (#70 OT) as the second offensive line commit in the class.

Henry Fenuku

#431 NAT, #27 IOL, #67 TX

Committed to Missouri

Many saw Henry Fenuku as an Ohio State lean, but after an official visit to Missouri, he’s committed to coach Eli Drinkwitz and the Tigers. Fenuku marks the second commitment on the offensive line for the Tigers as they look to add more protection for their future QB1 and 2025 commit Matt Zollers (#5 QB).

Daryus Dixon

#90 NAT, #10 CB, #11 CA

Committed to Penn State

We all know that coach James Franklin is a great regional recruiter, but the Nittany Lions landing the pledge of a national recruit over Tennessee and Washington speaks volumes. Dixon’s commitment gives Penn State their fourteenth commitment in the class and is pushing to be a top-10 class headed into Summer.

Todd Robinson

#359 NAT, #28 RB, #42 GA

Committed to Georgia

While most had Todd Robinson grouped with the running backs in the 2025 recruiting cycle, coach Kirby Smart and the Dawgs have been recruiting the Georgia native to play safety. Joining what’s destined to be a top-5 class in Athens I would expect Robinson to quickly become a fan favorite with his incredible athleticism and inspiring pregame speeches (see below).

Michael Thomas III

#193 NAT, #23 WR, #3 NJ

Committed to Rutgers

To keep it short and sweet, coach Greg Schiano and the Scarlet Knights are on an absolute tear on the recruiting trail. Landing a top-25 wide receiver and their twenty-third commit in the class has Rutgers in position to have a top-10 class (yes, it’s early) heading into summer. Thomas joins his high school teammate, Jaelyne Matthews (#26 OT), both committing on Tuesday to Rutgers.

Bryson Jones

#378 NAT, #58 WR, #60 TX

Committed to Texas Tech

An official visit seems to be what sealed the deal for coach Joey Mcguire and the Red Raiders, edging out Texas A&M and Arkansas. Jones is the second wide receiver commit and the fourteenth overall in the cycle for Texas Tech, making the case for a top-20 class headed into the official start of Summer.

Jaelyne Matthews

#246 NAT, #26 OT, #7 NJ

Committed to Rutgers

Rutgers has come a long way to be talked about in the same recruiting article twice, but you’ve got to give coach Greg Schiano and his staff their flowers. Matthews is the seventh commit from the Scarlet Knights’ home state of New Jersey, and one of five 4-star recruits in the class after spurning Tennessee, Georgia, and Miami with the most New Jersey announcement you’ve ever seen (see below).

Mal Waldrep

#499 NAT, #40 OT, #21 AL

Committed to Alabama

It was only a matter of time before the Alabama native and legacy Mal Waldrep committed to coach Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide. The 6’5″, 320-pound made his decision on Tuesday, choosing Alabama over Tennessee and Clemson.
