Updated top 25 classes in the 2025 On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings

The dog days of summer — and the college football recruiting calendar — are upon us. With only a few days left in July, more than 250 of the nation’s top 300 prospects in the On3 Industry Ranking are already pledged to a school.

Dozens of top prospects have given their verbal pledges, including multiple five-stars, in the past three weeks. We’ve also seen some key decommitments and flips as well. And as a result, the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings have seen significant shifts, including a new No. 1 overall team and shakeup in the top 10.

Below are the top 25 classes in the 2025 cycle:

1. Ohio State — 94.054

3 five-stars | 15 four-stars | 6 three-stars | 24 total commits
Top Commit: Houston North Shore Five-Star Plus+ CB Devin Sanchez, No. 4 NATL. (No. 1 CB).

Early in the 2025 cycle, defensive coordinator Knowles and his staff have gotten busy. Of OSU’s 23 commitments, 12 are on that side of the ball and five are in the secondary. Ohio State holds commitments from two of the nation’s top cornerback recruits — Five-Star Plus+ CBs Na’eem Offord and Devin Sanchez. Their class also includes elite linebacker Riley Pettijohn, four-star safety Faheem Delane, four-star EDGE Zahir Mathis, four-star EDGE London Merritt, four-star linebacker Tarvos Alford, four-star cornerback DeShawn Stewart, in-state standout linebacker Eli Lee and fast-rising Cleveland-area safety Cody Haddad.

On the offensive side, OSU has already locked up its quarterback in the class with elite passer Tavien St. Clair. He’s joined by the likes of Toledo (Ohio) Whitmer four-star offensive tackle Carter Lowe, four-star tight end Nate Roberts, four-star wide receiver Quincy Porter and four-star WR De’zie Jones.

Early in June, the Buckeyes struck again offensive side of the ball with four-star athlete Bo Jackson, who is expected to play running back at the next level, and elite wide receiver Quincy Porter.

4 five-stars | 13 four-stars | 4 three-stars | 22 total commits

Alabama’s class is led by Haywood and Choctaw County (Miss.) five-star wideout Caleb Cunningham, who joined the class in mid-July.

LSU’s class features a trio of five-stars (QB Bryce Underwood, RB Harlem Berry and CB DJ Pickett) as well as 13 four-star prospects. The Tigers added a pair of star prospects in June: four-star interior offensive lineman Carius Curne and four-star EDGE Jesse Harrold.

July is off to a fast start fo the Tigers, picking up Indianapolis Warren Central four-star EDGE Damien Shanklin, On3 four-star defensive back Jhase Thomas and four-star Zion Williams — in addition to flipping Melbourne (Fla.) Eau Gallie four-star defensive lineman Brandon Brown away from Texas, beating Oregon for Pickett and landing elite wideout Derek Meadows.

He joined Tampa Bay Tech five-star wide receiver Dallas Wilson at the top of the pack for Dan Lanning and Co. just a week before Duncanville (Texas) Five-Star Plus+ wide receiver Dakorien Moore took over the top spot in the class.

Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star running back Jordon Davison picked the Ducks over the likes of Ohio State, Michigan and Alabama.

Top Commit: Nashville Brentwood Academy four-star QB George MacIntyre, No. 50 NATL. (No. 8 QB).

When looking at Tennessee’s 2025 class, all eyes point toward Nashville Brentwood four-star quarterback George MacIntyre. Four-star in-state IOL Nic Moore pledged on June 20 and was followed by On3 4-star DL Charles House on June 22 and elite IOL Douglas Utu on June 24. The Vols also got on the board in July with coveted four-star wideout Travis Smith, who chose Tennessee over Alabama and Georgia. Later in the month, the Vols have added four-stars Lagonza ‘Shady’ Hayward and DaSaahn Brame (a flip from Oregon) to move into the top 10.

They join Memphis Sheffield four-star wide receiver Radarious Jackson as one of the most important additions to the class and an On3 top-100 overall prospect.

The 13 commits are split on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. The current headliner in the class is Jacksonville Raines five-star interior offensive lineman Solomon Thomas. Warner Robins (Ga.) Houston County four-star IOL and onetime Florida commit Peyton Joseph joined Thomas in the trenches following his Fourth of July commitment. And the ‘Noles added another dynamic playmaker in late July with four-star wideout Malik Clark.

The end of June was good to the Noles, as a quartet of four-stars pledged between June 24-30. Milton (Ga.) elite wide receiver CJ Wiley highlights the recent additions. Port Charlotte (Fla.) four-star defensive lineman Myron Charles added his name to the group alongside Greensboro (Ga.) Greene County four-star DL Kevin Wynn and Omaha (Neb.) Millard South four-star tight end Chase Loftin.

Jacksonville Mandarin four-star quarterback pledge Tramell Jones has continued to see his stock rise. Cocoa four-star EDGE Javion Hilson is a former Alabama pledge who joined the fold in Tallahassee in January following the retirement of Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban.

Las Vegas Bishop Gorman top-100 interior offensive lineman SJ Alofaituli is the newest addition to the class. And over the weekend, the ‘Canes beat out LSU for four-star cornerback Jaboree Antoine as well.

Miami added eight commits in June — four of whom are four-stars. Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna four-star cornerback Chris Ewald headlines that group of commits. Miami Central four-star safety Amari Wallace, Sanford (Fla.) Seminole four-star interior offensive lineman Max Buchanan and Savannah (Ga.)

0 five-stars | 11 four-stars | 8 three-stars | 19 total commits
Top Commit: Enterprise (Ala.) four-star safety Eric Winters, No. 67 NATL. (No. 7 SAF)

While it’s been a cold summer for Auburn’s arch rivals in Tuscaloosa, the Tigers are heating up on the trail at the right time. Hugh Freeze and Co. have added 11 commitments to their board since May and look to be trending for more coming in the next few days.

Along with Winters, four-star defensive lineman Malik Autry is one of two top-100 prospects in Auburn’s class right now. They’re joined by fellow four-stars Jakaleb Faulk, Broderick Shull, Tavaris Dice, Jourdin Crawford, Devin Williams and Donovan Starr. The latest to join the fold at the end of June and early July include blue-chip running back Alvin Henderson, cornerback Blake Woodby and defensive lineman Antonio Coleman, who re-flipped back to Auburn after previously flipping to Alabama in March.

13. Oklahoma — 90.541

0 five-stars | 13 four-stars | 9 three-stars | 22 total commits
Top Commit: Cypress (Texas) Bridgeland four-star OT Ryan Fodje, No. 90 NATL. (No. 8 OT).

Co-offensive coordinator Seth Littrell has his quarterback with four-star Kevin Sperry out of the Oklahoma City area. His pledge has helped spur on a string of receiver commitments, led by in-state four-star Elijah Thomas and Texas-based three-star Gracen Harris. The Sooners added another key piece to the puzzle on March 29 with the addition of four-star running back Tory Blaylock.

On the defensive side, the Sooners nabbed three early commitments from linebacker Marcus James, EDGE Alexander Shieldnight and defensive lineman Ka’Mori Moore. They added to that in a big way in April, landing commitments from four-star defensive lineman Trent Wilson, three-star cornerback Maliek Hawkins, and four-star safety Marcus Wimberly.

June saw the additions of four-star athlete CJ Nickson and offensive lineman Darius Afalava, and four-star wide receivers Emmanuel Choice and Marcus Harris also put their names on the commit list. And July kicked off with a major bang as the Sooners beat out Florida, LSU and more for four-star wideout Cortez Mills.

14. Michigan — 90.501

0 five-stars | 12 four-stars | 4 three-stars | 16 total commits
Top Commit: Oak Park (Ill.) Fenwick four-star DL Nate Marshall, No. 54 NATL. (No. 5 DL).

Winter Garden (Fla.) West Orange four-star safety Ivan Taylor flipped his commitment from Notre Dame to Michigan earlier this week. They are joined in the top 150 by Center Valley (Pa.) Southern Lehigh four-star tight end Andrew Olesh and Montgomery Village (Md.) Gonzaga four-star safety Kainoa Winston.

Fort Myers (Fla.) Bishop Verot four-star quarterback Carter Smith is the signal-caller for the class and pledged to UofM last November.

15. Texas — 90.329

0 five-stars | 10 four-stars | 6 three-stars | 16 total commits
Top Commit: Texarkana (Texas) Pleasant Grove EDGE Lance Jackson, No. 37 NATL. (No. 2 EDGE)

While the 2025 class has been a bit of a disappointment so far by Texas’ standards, the Longhorns still have a talented group of more than a dozen prospects committed.

The headliner of the group is Jackson, who sits just outside five-star status in the On3 Industry Ranking. The ‘Horns have a pair of top-100 defenders to go along with him in EDGE Smith Orogbo and linebacker Elijah Barnes, both from the Lone Star State.

Saraland (Ala.) four-star quarterback K.J. Lacey is the centerpiece of the Longhorns’ offensive class, and he’s joined by two four-star running backs — James Simon and Rickey Stewart Jr. — as well as four-star tight ends Emaree Winston and Nick Townsend, who committed on Monday.
