Recruiting never stop. Here are the programs that are on fire right now.


1. Clemson

— LB Sammy Brown is an epic get and the WR room is headed to elite again with Terrance Moore and Bryant Wesco. Add in 2025 RB Gideon Davis and 2025 QB Blake Herbert and you have the hottest team in the country.

2. Florida

— Despite losing QB Austin Simmons to Ole Miss, the Gators are hot with commitments from elite 2024 prospects like LB Aaron Chiles, DE Amaris Williams and TE Amir Jackson amongst others.

3. Stanford

— What’s this? Stanford amongst the elite in college football recruiting? This is the first time since David Shaw had that amazing pull in 2012 and it’s fun to see. QB Elijah Brown is arguably the best QB commit since Andrew Luck and they are killing it along the OL and at LB as well.

4. Minnesota

— PJ Fleck has it rolling lately for the Gophers and while most are three stars, guys like OL Nathan Roy make this class one of the best in recent years already.

5. USC

— We expect Lincoln Riley to recruit at an elite level but he’s been on fire recently as DBs Marcelles Williams and Dakoda Fields are keys to the future defense.
