On3 Impact 300: Big rankings movement among college football's elite talent after Week 7

Week 7 performances from the top players across the country have once again shaken up the On3 Impact 300‘s top 25 rankings.

Following the latest games, the On3 Impact 300 has been re-analyzed and re-ranked to provide the best picture of the top players across the country. The On3 Impact 300 rankings also factor into the calculations for the On3 NIL Valuation.

Although he did not play in Week 7, Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud continues to hold steady as the nation’s No. 1 overall player. Stroud has a stranglehold on the Heisman odds but his most formidable opposition still has several weeks to make a move.

Three players who had been on the cusp of the top 25 coming into Week 7 ended up breaking through after Saturday’s games. Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker went from No. 33 to No. 15 after leading the Vols with 385 passing yards and five touchdowns in the win over Alabama.

Meanwhile, lesser-known contributors, Emmanuel Forbes of Mississippi State and Graham Barton of Duke also made their debuts at No. 21 and No. 25, respectively. Both players also made Pro Football Focus’s midseason All-American teams this week with Barton earning a third-team nod at left tackle and Forbes earning an honorable mention amongst the nation’s top corners.

After Week 7, DE Derick Hall, S Brian Branch, and LB Drew Sanders fell out of the top 25, however, they remain highly ranked overall.
