On3 2023 Football Prospect Rankings

Welcome to our initial five-star football prospects for the 2023 recruiting cycle. Our goal is to assess a prospect’s long-term potential in college football, ultimately manifested by the NFL Draft.

Each prospect is listed with their position, On3 grade, hometown, high school, commitment status if applicable. We will expand this ranking to 100 prospects in the coming weeks.

The rating scale is as follows: Five-star prospects have grades 98-100, four-star recruits have grades 90-97, while 80-89 grades are for three-stars.

The first 10 prospects are rated as five-stars with an initial rating of 98. We will finish each recruiting cycle with 32 five-stars. The rankings will be updated on a regular schedule throughout the year as we gain information and further exposure to the prospects.
