Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy, Walter Nolen lead big-time group of uncommitted defensive linemen
College football’s early signing period is less than three months away, but plenty of talented players are still on the board, including more than a dozen uncommitted defensive linemen in the 2022 On300 rankings.
In total, 74 of the top 300 players in the country—just under 25 percent—have yet to announce their college commitments, but most of those will do so between now and December 15, when the first signing period officially opens. Skipping the spring semester of high school and enrolling early has become the norm in college football in recent years, with programs like Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Oklahoma and others typically bringing in more than a dozen players after the semester break.
Four of the top five players in the 2022 class have yet to commit, including No. 1 overall player Marvin Jones Jr. On3 compiled notes and intel on all 74 uncommitted On300 prospects to keep you informed about where each player stands in their recruiting process.
