LSU leads 2025 cycle in highest average rating per commit

Alabama and Ohio State sit ahead of LSU in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings, but no school has a higher average rating per commit than the Tigers.

On3’s database allows users to also sort the team rankings by the highest average rating per commit, based on the On3 Industry Ranking. This shows users the average rating of a program’s entire class instead of a class score factoring in the number of prospects committed.

Below are the top 10 teams based on average rating per commitment:

1. LSU — 92.49
