1. Texas A&M — 93.88
24 total commits
4 five-stars | 14 four-stars | 6 three-stars
Top Commit: OT Mark Matthews, No. 2 NATL. (No. 1 OT)
Texas A&M watched Aston Whiteside flip to Miami on Oct. 21 and the Aggies’ class still didn’t budge from the top spot. Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas offensive tackle Mark Matthews is Texas A&M’s top-ranked commit, and he’s one of four five-stars in the class. Safety Kamarui Dorsey is the best at his position, and interior offensive lineman Kennedy Brown sits at No. 29 overall.
2. Notre Dame — 93.07
23 total commits
3 five-stars | 16 four-stars | 4 three-stars
Top Commit: OT Oluwasemilore Olubobola, No. 15 NATL. (No. 2 OT)
Notre Dame’s class has barely moved since July. Roman Igwebuike committed July 11 and Brayden Parks followed July 23. All three of Notre Dame’s five-stars play on the line or on the edge: Jersey City (N.J.) St. Peter’s Prep offensive tackle Oluwasemilore Olubobola is the No. 2 offensive tackle, edge rusher Abraham Sesay is No. 21 nationally and interior offensive lineman Albert Simien is the No. 2 interior offensive lineman. Notre Dame also has 16 four-stars.
3. Miami — 92.79
20 total commits
4 five-stars | 13 four-stars | 3 three-stars
Top Commit: CB A’mir Sears, No. 9 NATL. (No. 1 CB)
Flips have shaped Miami’s class. Whiteside’s Oct. 21 decision was only the latest. Five-star cornerback Donte Wright came over from Georgia and five-star edge rusher Jaiden Bryant from LSU. Then there’s A’mir Sears. The Miami (Fla.) Columbus cornerback reclassified out of the 2028 cycle, committed July 31 and is Miami’s top-ranked commit. That gives Mario Cristobal five-stars at both corner spots.
4. Oregon — 92.51
25 total commits
2 five-stars | 15 four-stars | 8 three-stars
Top Commit: WR Dakota Guerrant, No. 24 NATL. (No. 4 WR)
Dan Lanning‘s group is big, with 25 commits, the third-most in the top 10. Harper Woods (Mich.) High wide receiver Dakota Guerrant is the top-ranked pledge in the bunch. Five-star edge rusher Rashad Streets is No. 32 nationally. Four-star Xavier Sabb is the No. 7 wide receiver nationally.
5. Florida — 92.14
26 total commits
2 five-stars | 16 four-stars | 8 three-stars
Top Commit: IOL Maxwell Hiller, No. 3 NATL. (No. 1 IOL)
Florida flipped a top-five prospect back in October. Six days before the Gators played in Austin, Easton Royal flipped from Texas. He had been committed to the Longhorns since November 2025. Royal is the No. 1 wide receiver in the class and the second five-star of Jon Sumrall’s first full cycle in Gainesville. The other is Coatesville (Pa.) High interior offensive lineman Maxwell Hiller, the top-ranked prospect at his position in the 2027 class. Four-star wide receiver Elias Pearl gives the Gators another pass catcher.
6. Ohio State — 91.95
20 total commits
3 five-stars | 12 four-stars | 5 three-stars
Top Commit: EDGE David Jacobs, No. 4 NATL. (No. 1 EDGE)
Ohio State has one of the newest commitments in the top 10, flipping three-star linebacker James Conrad from Buffalo in mid-October. Before that, Ryan Day‘s staff landed five-star Marcus Fakatou, the nation’s second-ranked defensive lineman, in June and four-star defensive lineman Karlos May in July. Roswell (Ga.) Blessed Trinity Catholic edge rusher David Jacobs is the Buckeyes’ top-ranked commit, and five-star wide receiver Jamier Brown is No. 27 nationally.
7. Oklahoma — 91.81
27 total commits
1 five-star | 12 four-stars | 14 three-stars
Top Commit: CB Gabriel Osborne Jr., No. 20 NATL. (No. 4 CB)
Nobody in the top 10 has more commits than Oklahoma’s 27. Brent Venables has his offensive tackles of the future in four-stars Cooper Hackett and Kaeden Penny. Mustang (Okla.) High cornerback Gabriel Osborne Jr. is the only five-star in the class.
8. Texas Tech — 91.58
17 total commits
2 five-stars | 10 four-stars | 5 three-stars
Top Commit: DL Jalen Brewster, No. 1 NATL. (No. 1 DL)
LSU, Florida, Miami and Indiana all pushed for Jalen Brewster, but he stayed put. The nation’s No. 1 prospect shut down his recruitment in late August and announced he would be sticking with the Red Raiders. He transferred from Cedar Hill (Texas) to Buford (Ga.) for his senior season and plans to graduate early in December. Joey McGuire has a second five-star on the defensive front in edge rusher Anthony Sweeney. Detroit (Mich.) Detroit Catholic Central athlete Gideon Gash is one of 10 four-stars in the class.
9. Texas — 91.36
23 total commits
1 five-star | 12 four-stars | 10 three-stars
Top Commit: IOL Ismael Camara, No. 28 NATL. (No. 3 IOL)
Texas flipped a pair of three-star linebackers last week in RJ Hudson (Clemson) and Jason Crenshaw (Georgia Tech). Gilmer (Texas) High interior offensive lineman Ismael Camara is the program’s top-ranked commit and the only five-star in Steve Sarkisian‘s class. Four-star Landen Williams-Callis is the No. 3 running back overall, and four-star Kasi Currie is the No. 5 defensive lineman.
10. LSU — 90.78
15 total commits
1 five-star | 11 four-stars | 3 three-stars
Top Commit: TE Ahmad Hudson, No. 22 NATL. (No. 1 TE)
LSU has missed on a couple of high-profile flip attempts this fall. First, Brewster announced he would stick with Texas Tech in August and then Royal picked Florida in October. Lane Kiffin‘s class has 15 commits, the fewest in the top 10. Ruston (La.) High tight end Ahmad Hudson is the lone five-star. Edge rushers Chris Whitehead and K.J. Green are two of LSU’s 11 committed four-stars.
