2025 LB Landon McComber commits to Stanford

Las Vegas Bishop Gorman three-star linebacker Landon McComber has committed to Stanford, he announced on Friday.

He chose the Cardinal while holding over 20 other Power Four offers, including the likes of USC, Auburn, Texas and Georgia.

McComber is the No. 476 overall prospect and No. 47 LB in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 6 player in Nevada.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder logged his official visit to Palo Alto last weekend and now continues what’s been a terrific start to the summer on the recruiting trail for head coach Troy Taylor and Co. McComber is the fourth recruit to pledge to the new ACC program this month.

Stanford pushing for top-25 recruiting class

With McComber now in the fold, Stanford’s class features 15 commitments and ranks No. 30 in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. The class also currently ranks No. 5 in the ACC.

Murrieta (Calif.) Valley four-star quarterback Bear Bachmeier remains the headlining commit in the class, as he’s the lone top-300 pledge and is currently the No. 22 QB in the 2025 cycle, per the On3 Industry Ranking.

On3 four-star defensive lineman Adam Shovlin out of Oakdale (Conn.) St. Thomas More pledged earlier this week, as did Pennington (N.J.) Hun School three-star DL Kole Briehler. Shovlin is the No. 25 DL in the cycle, per the On300.

“Honestly they treated me like a priority throughout the process,” Shovlin told On3. “Besides the degree, they’re on the come up. Promise you, this class is gonna shock the world in two years.”

Haverford (Pa.) three-star IOL Josh Williams and La Grange Park (Ill.) Nazareth Academy three-star EDGE Gabe Kaminski are both inside the top 500 overall. Newport Beach (Calif.) Corona Del Mar three-star tight end Zach Giuliano flipped to the Cardinal from Northwestern in April, while other top commits include Newark (N.J.) Malcom X Shabazz three-star safety Omari Gaines and Oakland (Calif.) Fremont three-star offensive tackle Siosiua Vete.
