Even more gorgeous: Recruiting rumor mills
1. A new number exists. 1st place in the final ranking in 2025
There will be one more 2025 rankings announcement after the All-Star event, even if Bryce Underwood doesn’t play in either (No. 1 Tavian St. Clair is expected to play in San Antonio). , there’s a good chance the Michigan quarterback will retire. rise to the top.
This is still up for debate, but the Belleville, Michigan standout is LSU He traveled to Michigan just before signing day and started practicing with the Wolverines during bowl preparation and he looks great.
From his size to the way he moves and the way he delivers the ball, Underwood looks like one of the top players in the country, even in practice. St. Clair is unlikely to play early. Five-star Julian Sane is waiting on the sidelines, while Underwood is essentially a player who has been in Ann Arbor since day one.
In the end, both St. Clair and Underwood would rank very highly in their final release. St. Clair has a million characteristics that we love, but Underwood, who took over the number one spot, might be even more special.

2. Ellis Williams will eventually be a 5-star.
As much as we absolutely love this tight end class, it makes no sense that we still don’t have a five-star tight end. Things will change by the end of this ranking cycle after the All-Star event.
georgiaEllis Williams, “Tennessee”With Dasaan Brahme Kansas‘s Linkon Cure is our favorite of the three, and there are plenty of reasons why there will be five-star tight ends by the end of this cycle, with Williams leading the way.
Typically, at least one tight end is selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, with Williams being the best option. Not only is he a physical freak, he moves very well for his size and has soft hands.
I’m particularly interested in seeing Breme and the Cure in a padded environment, as the number of national events the Cure has performed at is very limited.
But we love this tight end class. There’s room for a few more 5 stars. And Williams is at the top of this list for now.
3. The 5-star QB of the 2026 class is over.
It may be too early to make this prediction, but if you look at the 2026 quarterback list, certainly we loaded up on a five-star quarterback early on, and I think that position is probably over.
Of course, there will be a lot of discussion and campaigning along the way. But along with Ryder-Lyons, Tennessee has Faizon Brandon, Jared Curtis, and florida Brady Smigiel vows to lead the way, but that’s probably the limit as far as five-star quarterbacks go.
Two players will be attracting attention within the group, texas Most interesting is Deer Belle and Jackson, Alabama standout Landon Duckworth.
If we had a quarterback worthy of five-star status, he would benefit from that, but for now I’m happy with our four and sticking with them.
