Landen Thomas, Christian Bentancur, and the Most Important 2024 Tight End Commits

2024 recruiting continues to heat up. Here are the most important TE commitments so far, in my humble opinion.

---

1. Landen Thomas to Florida State

— Flipping him back from UGA is a massive message to the nation about FSU recruiting.

2. Carter Nelson to Nebraska

— Matt Rhule needs to send a message, and this in-state star is a great start. He was a must-get.

3. Christian Bentancur to Clemson

— An Illinois kid with all the Midwest offers and Oregon as his leader at one point. This is a great get.

4. Michael Smith to South Carolina

— The Gamecocks need to hammer Georgia in recruiting, and this is a massive get.

5. Davon Mitchell to Oklahoma

— The California connection is even more important now with Lincoln Riley out there.

6. Jack Larsen to Notre Dame

— A Catholic kid from North Carolina may not be a surprise, but it’s a big get in an important recruiting territory.

7. Grant Stec to Wisconsin

— He’s a big kid from Illinois, which has become an important state already for Luke Fickell.

8. Luke Reynolds to Penn State

— PSU continues to recruit the tight end position as well as anyone in the country.

Penn State TE Luke Reynolds dominated the Elite 11 Finals, rising from TE5 to TE3 thanks to his impressive routes, catch radius and college-ready frame

Very few of the nation’s top DB/LBs were able to stay with him

9. Jaden Redell to Georgia

— UGA isn’t hurting losing Thomas, as they have no worries recruiting tight ends.

10. Walter Matthews to USC

— USC heads to the east coast for an athletic tight end.
